  1. Different era, very few employers feel any responsibility towards their employees. Your just a unit, as soon as your benefit cost ratio swings the wrong way the faulty ones are ejected. One of the joys of zero hours contracts and a shift in societal norms many moons ago. Sad
  2. Mind you @xtreme we threatened one of ours with statuary sick pay on the third go when he just fancied a bit of time off (he’s a terrible liar) Strangely his girlfriend suddenly became Covid free, shame she would have been of great medical interest having it for a third time!
  3. Statuary sick pay is eventually available and worth bugger all. This is why theres been resistance to testing, people simply cant afford to be off work.
  4. Waah? That really sucks. Isolation rules dont change til the 16th August. My friends son went to a house in Devon along with several others to have a big party to celebrate the end of their courses over the weekend. One of them brought Covid along so they were all told to stay there and isolate. Six days in her son got bored, decided he didnt have Covid and without warning just appeared at home, yep you can guess the rest
  5. I love where the name ‘Yen’ came from.
  6. Oh yeh you definitely have me sold on this dish.
  7. Quick six run for your dissecting tools, there might be a chance of landing a hook
  8. Wow thats sucks and very disappointing. Have you tried saying “Come on Baggy get with the beat” ?
  9. Have you got cooling mats? I used to have two, one in the freezer and one in use, with a blanket over it because it’s definitely too icy or the olduns otherwise Three of mine loved it the other two didnt care for it so it might be a hit or miss thing.
  10. Any diagnosis yet Dr Spanner?
  11. Xtreme claimed that one a while ago
  12. I think Michelle said something about a heat dome? @Grasshopper's Ride Lovely pics as always. That water is beautifully clear What sort of watercraft? Kayak, Jetski, Sailing boat?
  13. If its intractable ask for a referral to a pain clinic. They’ll sort you out some better shit.
  14. Oh dear back pain sucks. Got any good drugs?
  15. One more month (ish) and no double jabbed person will have to isolate. Not that that helps you now. So good luck. The lateral flow tests are incredibly unreliable though, if youve been eating or drinking before you do it it can easily give a false positive, fingers crossed
  16. I read the ‘unread’ sections title and last comment as- Buck in Spandex I can remenber a pic of you on it, you made it look like a toy. How tall are you ? All I can say is the images of Boboneleg and Buckster together that appeared the minds eye may have scarred me for life
  17. You’ll need to be seeing a doc about that, either sclerosis of the liver or your welsh, which no meds can cure…
  18. Sounds like my general bike life
  19. Sounds like a lovely experience. Ive always enjoyed the ritual part of tea n coffee making. Particularly tea, waiting for the kettle to boil, watching the leaves swirl around for just the right length of time, a peaceful 15 mins before the drinks ready.
  20. When I used to drink coffee the Aeropress saved me from drinking all sorts of dire coffee. Met a guy a couple of weeks ago who takes a tiny stove and weeny chair with him and stops at any view he prefers to have his coffee. Sounds good to me. Maybe a small stove and an Aeropress might provide the balm? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerobie-AeroPress-A80-Coffee-Maker/dp/B000GXZ2GS/ref=sr_1_4?adgrpid=104166745093&dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrvqY-6_U8QIVW-vtCh19UwWNEAAYASAAEgI5mfD_BwE&hvadid=448944890121&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9045656&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=7709846566093587436&hvtargid=kwd-301155172040&hydadcr=19143_1810891&keywords=aeropress+coffee+maker&qid=1625778263&sr=8-4
