But got sudden panic over ethical, legal, employment and MF concerns. No concerns from me mate, I’ve always had you bookmarked as a fellow wrong ‘un. Had a bird strike on the nice bit of the A19 this morning- not a pigeon, we hit those regularly as they’re dumb as rocks, and also flying rats. No, this was a little finch, greenfinch I think. There was a feathery flash, a dull thud, then the poor little fucker landed , dead, on the windscreen wipers briefly, before falling off and probably turning to bird mist. I was surprised as I thought finches were relatively intelligent for birds. Not that it helped this little idiot, as his brain shot out of his arse when he hit the screen. RIP Finchy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 24786 Posted Tuesday at 12:23 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:23 I've changed my office to a room with patio doors. At least one fucking pigeon a day flies into them at full pelt, the thick twats. Not to sound like that tit from Parklife, I do enjoy watching the small birds around my bird feeder. Robins, chaffinches, bull finches, blue tits.... surprisingly colourful UK birds when you think about it. Also get visits from this chap. Technically a rodent I guess but then so are my pigs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car in front hit a pheasant the other week on way up to the borders, Mrs was somewhat upset, now there's a thick bird to rival pigeons, can fly but prefers to be a pedestrian, even when the cunts do fly it's like at 3ft altitude. Stupid foreign cunts. (actually maybe that's the problem and they look the wrong way 🤷♂️) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 5568 Posted Wednesday at 18:05 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:05 Ended up down a Tik Tok rabbit hole today on good old Elmer Bernstein. What a bloke. The number of belter theme tunes he knocked up is quite staggering. Ended up listening to a few of them performed and it’s mind boggling how the orchestra is put together. Also made me a bit gutted that I’ve never seen a proper big orchestra in the flesh. Would love to a movie theme sort of night. (As long as I don’t have to dress up and wave union jacks) Anyway @Howmanheyman here’s 2 for you to watch with your tea. (But you knew I was going to say that, didn’t you) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDG-MVReDrRwo&playnext=1&si=ThX5k5cbiNehf55a https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RD85vYBoiLpuE&playnext=1&si=JHIUym-pb97jb3tE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 24168 Posted 46 minutes ago Share Posted 46 minutes ago Well yesterday I finished my first 'week' at the new gaff. I say 'week' as I do four day weeks. I couldn't have asked for a better start tbh. They seem a cracking bunch. The atmosphere in the office is bob on, relaxed but everyone is grafting and helping each other out. Its the first time I have been a manger of someone with more industry experience than me and I was a little nervous about that. However, the lad is absolutely spot on. We did an internal workshop on my second day about the business. The gaffer was leading it but we all got involved. He then asked for someone to stand up and give a small review on the discussion we just had. I thought fuck it I'll do it. I want to push myself out of my comfort zone in this role. Anyways, I did and was bricking it but soon calmed down Anyways, weekend in the Lakes with the lads now and onwards and upwards. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nowt better way to win friends and influence people than being the new guy and being a "pushing my comfort zone" linked-in speak twat and getting up and showing off in front of the gaffer first chance you get. I hope if there were areas needing further discussion you said you'd take it offline, circle back and touch base later. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asked by someone if I was on Linkedin yesterday and I said no. He asked why and I said it was full shite like 'Whilst dropping off Tarquin at nursery this morning in the Aston, he asked if he could give some of his pocket money to the homeless guy out of the window. It was such a heart warming moment. I then dropped him off with a gold plated nappy and with a glow in my heart' Anyways, after I said that he seemed a little disappointed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha'd have to be right twat to be on that shit show, you're not on it are you?' He then looked a bit sheepish so I told him that anyone on LinkedIn, ah wouldn't be showing them a bird's nest, the absolewte wrong'uns they are!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
