Are you tree surgeons I asked? No they said, there's only two of us Edited May 22 by billysugger 1 2 1 Quote
Popular Post onesea Posted May 24 Popular Post Posted May 24 I need everyone to wish me luck. I have a meeting at a bank later and if everything goes well, I will be out of debt. I'm so excited I can barely put my balaclava on. 1 12 Quote
bonio Posted May 27 Posted May 27 If only retiring actually worked like that. The only fuss they made of me was to send me a letter saying if I didn't send my laptop back, they'd dock the cost from my pay. At least they paid the postage, I guess. 1 3 Quote

Now there's a novel idea, a company that provides you with a laptop necessary to do your job. I have to provide my own. 1 Quote

Wow, that's rubbish - your company is a bit shoddy there. On the other hand, it does provide unbeatable after-life benefits 3 Quote
Grumpy Old Git Posted May 29 Posted May 29 I had a work laptop and mobile phone which I had to return on retiring. I kept the mouse mat! 2 Quote
husoi Posted Thursday at 09:10 Posted Thursday at 09:10 I worked for a company that will remain unnamed that the day I handed my resignation they asked me to handover everything and I wasn't working for them anymore. Got paid the notice period and managed to start with another company immediately 2 Quote
Tiggie Posted Monday at 21:01 Posted Monday at 21:01 I've just finished listening to Ade Edmondsons biography on Audible which he reads himself. Really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone who grew up on those two like I did. Very strange to hear him talking in his normal voice! He did admit to upsetting more than a few fans of the Young ones though. They will quote lines from the show expecting him to finish the sentence but he hasn't a clue what they are on about, it was approx 14 weeks of his life 40 odd years ago and he hasn't exactly been watching it on a night like fans of the show would do. 2 Quote
