I could have got a lot more when I cloned @pozbaird’s card if he didn’t have some shitey app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Downloaded the RBS app out of boredom the other week and it's forcing me to confirm every pishy £5 internet purchase, nothing at all when I had to pay £550 today to get the car through its MOT and service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Firms that jump on the current bandwagon to try and shift their crap, despite their crap having no relevance to the bandwagon. 2 examples I've already come across today - Verisure, who are apparently giving a "jubilee discount", then a radio ad for SCS, which I can paraphrase as "celebrate the jubilee by buying a couch!!". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Ddint put this in the terrible journalism thread because it a #Barclays article, but i've ranted about this before, look at the fucking nick of this headline compared to what Edinson Cavani actually said..... Edinson Cavani sends "bitter" parting message to Man Utd after being branded "disgrace" “I sincerely have nothing but words of gratitude towards the fans and supporters of Manchester United,” he told the club’s media team. “Honestly, they have shown me a lot of respect from the very first moment I arrived. I think they’ve greatly recognised all the hard work I’ve always tried to put in in the best way possible, giving my best for this team. “I really am very grateful, and I’ll be leaving here with a happy memory of that affection they showed me and always displayed.” Cavani added: “I wanted to contribute more this season. One of the things that has left me with a slightly bitter taste is that when we had a highly enjoyable and pretty decent [2020/21] season, we weren’t able to have the supporters along with us. “And now, this season, with the fans coming back into the grounds and stadiums, I haven’t really been able to have the kind of campaign, if I’m being honest, on a personal front that I would really have liked. “Where I would have been able to score the kind of goals I did last season, and then be celebrating them a bit more with the fans - the kind of stuff that it’s great for a forward or a striker to be doing. “But I want to sincerely thank the fans from the bottom of my heart, because they have always shown me a lot of affection, and that is very important for a footballer.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No concentration required in fact most of the time we end up watching Youtube videos by the end of it,one of the guys fell asleep last year and the trainer just left him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broon-loon Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Andy Dufresne said: 7 hours CPC training tomorrow starting at 7am is this HGV/LGV related..? Just wondering as I have a C+E licence but need to do the 35 hour Driver CPC - if I was to get a job as an HGV Driver. I needed the licence years ago for a vehicle we used but I've never been employed as a driver. Not sure whether to go through the 35 hour course, then sign up for some agency work whilst the licence is still valid? Ignore if nothing to do with Driver CPC... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
