Alex 38299 Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Not saying the metro is a fucking joke or anything. But, having just arrived at the central from York, I realise on checking the app I’d just missed one to the coast. Anyway, I had enough time to comfortably (ie with nearly 10 mins to spare) walk to fucking Jesmond station in time to catch the next one. All with no disruption being reported (bar the ‘fleet availability’ patter*) at tye ungodly hour of 5:45pm on a Friday. *is probably actually driver availability and can you really count a daily occurrence as disruption to the norm?

It doesn’t let you use it instead of a Pop Card via your phone or let you top up your pop card though. Like you’ve been able to do in London for ages. Presumably that’s coming some time in the 2030s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d just come in from a 5 mile walk in Scotchland here- sparkers, 3ft from his bed. Thick as mince I’ve got a Black and Tan one as well. She is 7 now and calming down with every year. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, he does that if you go in the kitchen to make a brew- he’s a lovely wee lad, soft as shite, and daft as a brush. 3 years old-ish and no signs of not living his mutty life at 100mph as yet, the little shite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister in law has a cocker spaniel and this pretty much describes him to a tee. Probably the nicest dog I've ever come across in terms of his temperament, and the fact he doesn't bark, scratch or chew anything in the house (my lurcher has a blanket that she digs at to get underneath it, and has ruined at least 3 settees as a result). But sometimes when he looks at you it's very apparent there is fuck all going on upstairs, he acts on pure impulse alone. That said, I think it's endearing when a dog is that thick, especially when they are soft as shite with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's my straight day eh?' I commited a job interview faux-pas a good few years ago that still keeps me awake at night now and again. Asked about my "proudest achievements" I replied words to the effect of "I've always felt pride is an incredibly selfish emotion and don't like to focus on past achievements" before looking up and realising the entire office was draped in rainbow flags and thinking "ah shit, that screamed homophobe/religious bigot". Dunno where those words came from. Maybe I'd watched Se7en the night before. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 38681 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 There's bigger problems in the world but I have had four interviews for jobs paying at least my wage or a bit above in the last 8 days, just had an email from one of them now and it's matching my ticket buying attempts at the beginning of the season, 0/3. I wouldn't mind but I felt I did really well in two of them so am very much thinking wtf tbh? One left and if I don't get that I'm going to genuinely feel like bubbling. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
