One of my clients at work has got tickets to all of her Edinburgh shows as well as one at Wembley, don’t want to even think about how much that’s skinned them. If it’s worth it to them then fair play, I wouldn’t pay that for an Oasis or The Smiths (obviously won’t ever happen now, RIP Andy) reunion never mind someone who’s showing no signs of not touring again. Madness.Quote:

How much for their gig? 🤔😀Quote:

£660 for that seems mad.Quote:

I was initially surprised that anyone could have not heard of her but I guess it just all depends on what you like as she's the second most streamed artist on Spotify behind someone I've never heard of (Bad Bunny?).
I must admit to being that guy, does my head in if I can’t recall an actors name and/or what he/she has previously been in. It’s a last resort but IMDB is my friend.Quote:

My Pet Peeve for today.
The fact that the principle of 'Innocent Until Proven Guilty' is widely accepted to apply to all kinds of people, across all of society... except Husbands
The following example being an anonymous couple who both work from home:
W: "What are you doin' in ma office?"
H: "Putting some clothes in the washing basket, dear"
W: "Who put the washin' basket in ma office?"
H: "Uhm you did, dear"
W: "Well..... don't be so noisy the next time!"
:rolleyes:
Ditto, but he's absolutely massive, it's wild!Quote:

Decorating
Usef professionals in the past, but with wife on maternity leave it's DIY as we're paying someone to lay the flooring.
Beds dismantled and walls painted taken up the majority of weekend. Now got the pleasure of wallpapering shortly (which I've never attempted in my life)
Aches and pains all over
Oh with you on that. Always takes 5 times longer than you think and always something crops up that’s a pain to deal with, or you don’t have the tools for or you didn’t buy on the already ludicrously expensive trip to B&Q or whatever!Quote:

Kin liberty so it is 😄

Had a colleague retire a few years ago, we all chipped in and bought him an expensive present and a good old knees up send off at a pub where he didnt have to put his hands in his pockets
He was a great guy mind you and there were a few tears shed as he had been around for many years. Suddenly a few weeks later he reappears just to add some experience to the teams, two days a week at first, then three and then back to full time
Then after a year he decides to call it a day again so the boss does card, whip round and organises another jolly. Sorry but I may sound a miserable ******* but he got not another penny from me, nor did I attend his second leaving do
In fairness, he hasnt been back, yet !!
Transpennie Express.
A ****ing abysmal service. Every time I have used it there has been a problem. Delays, carriages missing, last second platform alterations, a cancellation.......Quote:

Made them sweat for a few days before agreeing to go back. I was given a wad of cash in a card when I left thought it only fair to hand it back and put it into the gift for the person leaving.Quote:

I was scunnered for the rest of the day so I gave them up, full stop. I didn't miss them at all and got out of the incessant routine.
Don't mean to be a killjoy ! I drink tea instead.
Definitely. We were away up North in a holiday cottage last week and I even checked if they had a coffee machine. Turns out they didn't so I loaded our own De Longhi bean machine into the car to much raised eyes from my wife. She had to eventually admit for once that I was right :greengrinQuote:

I had to stop as when I missed out the caffeine withdrawal was notable and my sleep pattern was ****ed. I'll still have a coffee but on nothing like the same level. Green tea or just hot water and lemon is my go to at work these days.
I used to love good coffee and was willing to pay a lot for it. Unfortunately when I developed liver disease I started vomiting bile in the morning which had the effect of making coffee (even the expensive good stuff) taste horrible, not just for that day but for a week after an episode of vomiting. Ended up just giving up coffee altogether! Ironically Mr liver doctor has told me coffee is good for the liver. I drink tea now which never satisfies like a good coffee.Quote:
