    You could interpret it that way if you're a complete deviant.

    I was more referring to those who throw a sarong or similar around their wet bathing costumes and then go dining. Minging behaviour.

    I thought he meant someone with a rather leaky Kriss Akabusi had sat in a seat in a hotel dining area and left a mess!!

    Job adverts that describe the salary as 'competitive' or 'excellent base salary'......just bloody tell us what ball park we're in.

    Just took a days holiday and had a fairly lengthy interview for him to advise at the end they deal with 'low basics, high commission'. Surely nobody is going to almost half their salary in the hope of making it back up through commission so why waste people's time?!

    Probably should have asked myself to be fair but it's never an easy conversation to broach when acting keen about the job and not only interested in the money.

    It's about time the taboo about asking about the salary was put to bed. It's ridiculous, the plain facts are we all work to live to a certain standard so of course the salary level plays a huge part in the jobs we apply for. Thankfully my current boss recognised that and simply asked me what I wanted after he had heard what I had to say

    Totally agree.

    It never used to bother me asking but I had a couple of experiences where I've had feedback that I asked about the money too early. Now I've no got a clue when I'm meant to bring it up and what the right way to do it is?!

    If I had a business or was interviewing it'd be the first thing I'd be expecting them to enquire about and don't see the problem with asking early doors.

    Yes been in that position myself, in response to the accusation that I was being driven by money rather than the job. I asked the interviewer if he would consider taking a wage cut when he decides to move on to a job that he considered a step up from his current role. After some stuttering he said "no of course not". There you go then I said "maybe the next person that asks will get a better response then". I then upped and left as had already decided I couldn't work there after all

    Agree about the wage thing. Every site like s1 should advertise it. Even if it's a xxx between xxx depending on experience. I recently was looking at what jobs were out there and not 1 had a salary. I have been in my current job for 7 years and was genuinely interested as to what I could earn elsewhere.
    In the end it turns out I'm paid way above what my job is advertised elsewhere, but it's still a basic thing that should be advertised for every job

    Buying a steak pie at Easter Road and not being able you eat it without a knife and fork as the base remains firmly stuck to the foil as you try to remove it.

    Buying a steak and gravy pie at ER, carefully tear the foil down the side and then underneath to release the pie in one piece and find out out there is no gravy! £2.80 and no trucking gravy!

    I'd be looking at the hotels you're staying at. Any I've been at, you're only allowed at the outdoor restaurant/cafe which is plastic seating. The indoor restaurant they won't let you in dressed like that.

    People who block the escalator at a train/underground station despite all the signs saying "stand to the left" to allow people in a hurry to get past quickly. And they just stand there utterly oblivious.
    Possibly because you're standing on the wrong side?

    You're right. The hotel was actually more than decent but obviously not willing to hold up their own dress code that was openly on display for all to see. At the end of the day the hotel have the responsibility to enforce their dress code but it's still minging from individuals who ignore/don't understand it.

    It's the left in Auckland where I've been living for 11 years. Probably due to being upside down on the wrong side of the earth

    Worse than that, remembering to go to the shops but getting home and finding out you've bought everything but what you went there for in the first place.

    Got the (many) tee shirt on that one.

    People scared to complain if something is not ok. I'm talking about people who moan to their companions about restaurant food then tell the waiter with a big smile that it's good when asked how their food is.

    I find the Scotsman website just about unusable, on any device. Freezes my laptop as well.
    You're right. It's not user friendly on the mobile. Not so bad on PC.
    At least it's still free to access unlike most other papers.

    Angry Busses

    Busses driving 10-15 mph below the speed limit (30 or 40 mph zones)
    Busses at a bus stop that leave their backside out in the middle of the road so no one can get passed
    Busses at a traffic light junction that stop the flow of traffic to let an oncoming bus make a right turn despite their being a filter lane.

    I'll add bus drivers who pull in at a bus stop then immediately put on their right indicator before happily sitting for an age whilst people get on and off the bus.

    Also on the driving theme people who don't indicate when using the 1st exit at a roundabout. You are sitting waiting to enter the roundabout, think they are going straight over then at the last second they throw the wheel round like they are on the hairpin at Monte Carlo and disappear.

    Finally drivers who overestimate the size of their car and think they are driving an HGV. I use Pilrig Street quite often and with parking on both sides it can be tight but 2 cars can comfortably pass each other. I got stuck behind a Citroen C1 this morning who insisted on slamming their brakes on and swerving about every time a car appeared on the other side of the road.
