Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 So far this week life has been chucking shite in my direction and this morning I woke up thoroughly hacked off. But I just got a txt from a mate saying there’s a Black Friday sale on ski passes this Friday and to book up n come on over to their place. Gonna fill my lungs with some fine mountain air. Cheered me right up that has. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Eldest son getting some shit at work, so we've had a couple of chats, mainly for him to vent! His regional manager is being a c*nt! Anyway, it's spurred him on to try to find a better job. Hopefully something will come up soon. Other son is also job hunting at the moment, because he's pretty p*ssed off where he's working too. It's the age old story of people getting promoted beyond their capabilities, as long as they kiss ass to their bosses! In other news, we've booked flights and hotels to visit family for a few days from Boxing day, so hopefully that'll work out OK. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Been running all over the place in work this week as we had a lad leave a few weeks ago and our customer has pointed out a lot of gaps in the documents he's produced over the last year. Yet he left because he thought he was better than everyone else and should be paid more, fucking prick wasn't worth what he was on and i told him a few times whenever he said he was better than the other boys, and to make me hate him more i think I've picked up a speeding ticket today traveling to sort one of his fuck ups. He better hope i don't bump into him in the near future if i get a ticket fucking prick, I checked the tracker on the van 52mph in a 40 ffs, i was just following the cars in front and they were pulling away from me, don't think i'm going to get away with this one or should i say, i don't think the wife is going to get away with this one LOL 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Can I just remind members that there can be cultural differences between people of different nationalities. For example I think that bullfighting is barbaric (lot of Spaniards do too) but I don't go round making comments about it.....I just accept that it's part of their culture. So if we could refrain from making judgements or generalisations about other peoples' cultures, values etc. We've also strayed a bit into Religion (which is another sensitive area) so that's something to be careful with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just got back from Baza to have Medicals and put in the application to renew our driving licences. I only get one for five fucking years now! Then we called in to see a client (who's also a friend) at her cavehouse B&B. They've got a little electric thing that they run round in......wouldn't fancy going far in this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
