NJ2 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks. I suspect having kids will wreck it.Fair fucks to you man, have dreams, but I sincerely doubt you’re having kids. You post here for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t judge others and without having experienced a role like that you really don’t know what you’re talking about. I judge folk all the time and will continue to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally can't wait to wave the grandkids off after a visit, cackling hysterically at my kids as they trudge off.

Worse is seeing this elsewhere in the UK, or worse halfway around the world. Absolutely disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Getting back to DA’s observations, I completely understand where he is coming from, but at the same time, it’s sometimes necessary to commit yourself to extra work to enjoy the benefits of your employment.I earlier received a message from a manager in the US to call him in 5 hours, by which time it will be 1 am where I live. Will I set my alarm to call him? Yes I will, despite the fact that I’m travelling to another country tomorrow and my whole weekend is fucked. Why? Because. I’m suitably rewarded & this week I’ve seen my two immediate line managers sacked, for not committing to the expectations stated when they signed up. I guess it’s all about expectation & reward.

Jacksgranda Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We're very lucky - or unlucky, depending how you look at - there's hardly a day passes when we don't get a visit from at least one of them. Four visited yesterday with their mum, I was at work, so missed them, but we were keeping two others anyway, and by the time I got home there was a third one here, although she went home. Granddaughter nr 4 calls in regularly. When school starts I might be getting roped into collecting grandson nr 5 at quitting time, his wee brother is going to a different school which will give him the help he needs, but someone has to be at his house to get him off the bus, so I might be needed occasionally as the timings are a bit tight for mummy to collect big brother and then be at home to get the other one. I don't mind walking up from the school if the weather is clement, not so much fun when it's raining. And I get regaled all the way home with "Do you know this granda?"

NJ2 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’m glad quite a lot of boys are sensible and have jumped in to my side. Nice to see. Sometimes work calls, ken. I think DA’s black and white viewpoint and calling everyone mugs maybe helped as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unleash The Nade Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Wasn’t sure whether to post it here or PTGOYN, but the playing of either Loch Lomond or 500 Miles at any sporting events where any Scottish team or individual is participating. Both absolute fucking awful songs for plastic patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both absolute fucking awful songs for plastic patriots The worst part about 500 Miles is everyone starts the chorus too early but then continues to do the whole 'DAH DAHDAH!' over the song. Shite.

Shite. After the first chorus it goes straight on to the second verse, "DAH DAHDAH" doesn't kick in until after the second chorus. That people have STILL not realised this in 2018 absolutely baffles me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Loch Lomond and/or 500 miles at any wedding/engagement party etc is just the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
