Then he chose on the course and ratings which meant Guildford and both Bristol Uni’s. He wants Bristol and really so do I. If everything goes tits up he can always come back, live at home n commute. He’s deferring til 2022 so he can earn money to give him some sort of cushion. You have two going at the same time? I have twins..... Grace is thinking Dundee!!! Supposed to be probably the best for what she wants to do, bio science. Lewis is looking at politics at Ull... Hull obviously a lot closer to us, but no way commutable. I've told he can stay in caravan which is only half hour away. This will not be happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a student, it’ll be the caravan of love stand up, stand up, staaand uuup My two are a year apart and should finish at the same time. The expected parental contribution is eye wincing for one let alone two. Have you watched the money box guy Martin Lewis’ guide? It’s worth a watch.

Favourite of all time. Had 2 Heaton gigs postponed due to covid. The van will not be a caravan of love. Infact once they leave for uni i may change the locks at home and the coast.. Ofcourse im only joking. Just incase lewis has managed to sneek onto this forum and bypassed Stu.... You seen The housemartins/ BS/Heaton? Some of the best times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Grace goes to Dundee, although no way local i know several people in both Glasgow and Dumfries who can get there before i can and fire fight until we arrive. Hull is 70 mile away so is easy for us. Plus he can always pester people on here if he's in the absolute shite. If you ever get chance. Go to see Paul Heaton live. Very good gigs. Even more so now bizarrely after he's stopped drinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Great news! One of the colleagues in my team who has been on every type of furlough, thus not actually in work for most of the year, has been promoted! I feel great that I busted my balls to cover all the work he wasn't doing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been my experience in the past - promote them out of harms way. It makes me feel taken for granted and dicked over so I'm going to have a chat with one of our competitors who has been trying to poach me for the past 4 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the reason a lot of tosspots get into management even though they can’t do the job, I don’t blame you looking somewhere else if that has just happened, for the life off me I can’t see why it happens I suppose they don’t want to lose a man that does know how to do things rather than a nob, may just pay to be a nob from now on you may get a promotion.
