throbber Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Waitrose have got a cracking selection of beers. You'd like it throbber. It's not really near any of my regular commutes, otherwise I would never be away from the place! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually have quite a wide delivery radius. The Milngavie store delivers all the way to me, and I'm 5 minutes from Byres Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with a more credible display than we managed earlier this month then. My current RTBC though is the absolutely glorious seethe caused by Gavin Gunning, absolutely bossing the cup tie when Morton sworded his former team; whose puny fanbase tried and failed to hound the unruffled colossus. So much effort for so much fail for their pathetic city team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 How did you manage to get three weeks paternity? It was an option. The form said 1,2 or 3 weeks and I decided to go for 3. Don't get me wrong, only one week is full pay. The other two are £100 or something like that, but I'd rather be there for the first couple of weeks. I can always make more money. I'm guessing 3 weeks isn't normally an option in places? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for an American company, I'm lucky to get any leave at all. Fortunately the job is piss easy and the money's fantastic so take the rough with the smooth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Boy in my work had six weeks when his wean came last December. I'm sure it was six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Two weeks paid paternity leave at my work. The fortnight was enough to be honest. Going back just to work was great just to get a breather. It's amazing being a new Dad, but if you've got decent size family and number of friends, there'll be visitors coming to meet the new baby on a daily basis. It's a pretty hectic time. I dunno if it's just a guy thing, but the amount of blokes I've heard say they were getting fed up of people constantly being at their house is incredible. It's to be expected but I can imagine certain people being at my house will start to piss me off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
