Yep and he's not impressed
Stoopid Weather
- Thread starter Brian4
- Start date
That's it mate, get it off your chest lol!!!Well, I'm p***** off with wet and windy weather, getting cold water dripping down my neck and into my eyes, getting legs cold and wet leaning over the front of cars- which are cold and wet. Can you see the pattern here?
Yesterday, we were given good news and bad news. The good news is that we're not getting a pay rise (of 0.5%) again this year. The bad news is that we have to leave work earlier each day by 30mins. Did I get that right?Now 8 till 5 and Saturdays 8 till 12.
Apparently our new MD thinks that equates to a pay rise because it increases our hourly rate !!I don't think this has anything at all to do with boosting the hourly rate of those employed on the minimum (living) wage to keep them from having an increase - Do you?
Ahhhh, that's better.
Tony.
I've usually got something to rant about, but you lot are behaving yourself tonight
Seriously though, been a good couple of days for me - nothing to grumble about. Must have stolen everyone else's good fortune

He's on his way round yours with a red hot poker
Four of us are planning to get ready for home by 12 tomorrow then go up to the office and ask of we can go home at 12 just to see what it's like ready for next week when the short hours start. D'you reckon we can get away with that?

Tony.
That's why you're up so early then Dave35! I've done just short of double that this week! Cue @Mint!
. Commiserations to you, I never did that amount of hours even when I was working.
Tony,.......when you retire, will you spend a little more time in Florida?

Yes, go for it Tony.

When I get fully retired in another 6 years Frankie, we intend on spending at least 3 months over there each year, maybe twice a year if the visa waiver will allow it. Hopefully in the meantime we can wangle more stays there, I hope so.
Tony.
Got even better for me but not for Rob...That's good @hard top
He bought a new phone but could not get on with it as it kept going on stand by when he tried to make a call, so, back to the shop he went. Chap said, try pressing the right image on the touch screen Sir.
Next day, he took a pic and it was crap and he said to me "Bloody hell, this thing is supposed to have a zillion, zillion pixels....back to the shop he went. Chap said, try removing the protective plastic from the front and back of the phone...

I must have misunderstood. I thought you said you had a year to go before you retired................
I have said that this October I will be 60 and the company I work for have shown that they will reduce my working hours, negotiations will happen later in the year. Though when I get over to Florida in September I might forget to come back !!
Tony.
Tony.
You've got to come back Tony, we're all coming over to your meet on the 11th. Or is that before you go?
That's before I go mate. We've used air miles, loyalty points, nectar points and even Greensheild bloody stamps but we have booked "Upper Class" flights for my 60th birthday treat.
Shirl has been busy as usual on price comparison sites and got our hotel at Manchester and 22 nights parking for free! and the lounge for free for when we go in April with Abz and Andy and the boys for free too. She is a wizard at finding bargains.
Tony.
Brilliant work Shirl. You will get used to upper class Tony, then you wont want to mix with us mere mortals
