I think that comes from their kickback FTH thing. The irony's lost on them.Quote:

The entire Yeezy range by Adidas must be a giant social experiment to see how crap you can make something look before people stop buying it. I present exhibit A:

And B:

The worst of the lot is this monstrosity I came across the other day though. £2890!!
https://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping...hoCEWcQAvD_BwE
I can't believe anyone who bought that did it for any reason other than to show off to people that they can afford it. No one thinks that looks good.
I used to see someone who used an old Railtrack hi-vis jacket as a cycling jacket and I thought it looked pretty good. Probably not the best part of £3k though…Quote:

Why the hell is everything a 'Journey'?
You start a new job, get some intro from the owner to all the new starts and he describes us as going on some mystical 'Journey' together.
The company you're working with releases a new TV, and they have a big media event where they describe it as going on a 'Journey', with emotive music and emotional sounding speech.
Naw, it's a job, you're only doing it to pay your bills, and it's just a bl**dy telly!!!!
Winter jackets and vests for summer make money all year round.Quote:

Theres a poorly lit supervisors office with a kind of serving hatch window to speak to them and on the window theres a sign that says for information chap the door round the side and when you do they don't bother answering it anyway. Its no wonder folk use their cars so much. The difference between the bus service in Edinburgh and Dunfermline is staggering. I know Edinburgh is much bigger but Dunfermline is a very large town now but the bus network is so poor.

Went for a swim in a local tidal outdoor pool this morning. It's reasonably popular and although it's not quite as busy in the autumn months, there were still a few people who had enjoyed a swim.
There's a little natural part in the rocks that shelters the view on three of the four sides and people use that to get changed. Unless you're on the rocks or right in front of it, nobody sees you. People use towels, gowns etc. to protect their modesty on the fourth side so it works perfectly. It's at the side of the beach too and well out of the way.
A family with two young kids came down onto the beach and although it was clear that there was a few people waiting to get changed in the little alcove, their kids started climbing all over the rocks and removing any chance of people being out of the way. The parents let them continue with it and more interested in their phones ("don't slip on there" etc.) ended up encouraging them.
One of the swimmers went across and said politely that people use the alcove to discreetly change, they were told "they're just playing, why do you have to do it there".
There's literally an entire beach full of things to climb over and shells to collect elsewhere.
