My union have just reported that they’ve achieve the magical 50% return from its members and a 90odd% majority wanting to strike.
I’ve never had the opportunity before, having generally worked through a period of [relative] milk and honey.
I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m quite excited.
That being said, I was excited at the early stages of Covid.
Good stuff. Oaksoft will be along soon to have a go at you [emoji38]

Out of curiosity. Which union?

Whether you're naturally bald, shave your head or are the former pretending to be the latter, you all have one thing in common - you're warned not to visit Mozambique.

Home to a tropical climate and extensive coastline filled with a number of beaches, the country in East Africa welcomes tourists for honeymoons, luxury holidays and adventures

Five men were killed in the country in the central district of Milange, with three killed within the space of one week in what police suggested could have been ritual attacks.

Police warned bald men may be targeted as Afonso Dias, a police commander in Mozambique's central Zambezia province, explained at the time that there is a bizarre belief regarding what's concealed beneath the shiny dome of a bald man's head.

 

He explained: "The belief is that the head of a bald man contains gold."

According to the BBC's Jose Tembe in the capital, Maputo, police believed the idea of riches being concealed inside the skull stemmed from a ruse created by witchdoctors who were trying to get clients to take a person's head to them.

British Gas callcentre. Absolute fvcking jokesville. On hold for 30mins. and the lassie that eventually took my call couldn't help me because they're switching customers over to an 'online help team' and she works for the 'old' assistance team.

So she puts me back on hold but I gave up after 15mins.

Won't bore you with details but God help anyone who needs to speak with a human being at BG.

I phoned them yesterday becaus, in applying for the Warm Home Discount for my mother, their website wouldn't accept her customer number.

Turns out because she was initially with British Gas Evolve, when they moved her over to BG they haven’t allocated her an up-to-date customer number. The woman I spoke to was polite and said she had flagged her manager but he was on his lunch break. She said she'd phone back later in the day but guess what? Still waiting.

They are indeed the worst. BT a very close second. 

I have evolved a MO when dealing with such companies now that if I have a non urgent issue requiring customer care I just write a letter which usually elicits a fairly swift response. 

Utter madness that in the 21st Century a markedly quicker/cheaper/less frustrating way of resolving an issue is a 19th Century method of communication but I’m sure they’re delivering value for their shareholders.

Not sure if this is the best thread but we need a way to mute/block picture and videos of people on social media. That cousin that you really can’t stand, mute him, problem solved right? But no, because his sister is always posting pictures of them every other day. They have facial recognition on phones so why can’t they have it to block all the annoying c***s you used to work with or your mates psycho gf with the annoying voice. Aware I may seem unhinged but I don’t really care.

Alternatively, just ignore the annoying f****rs.

I gave up social media in 2015. Wonderful decision, it makes you happier.
