Gemmill 35003 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 How's retirement treating you, TP? I bumped into a bloke I used to work with recently and he looked younger and healthier than he did the last time I saw him (about 7 years ago). Anyway, I hope it's working out. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a bit bored/frustrated at the mo tbh. (Us old folks feel the cold) Bring on the sunshine and I'll maybe feel it a bit more 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried over the last few weeks to chat to him more, just about owt really rather than graft. Anyways, due to technology advances etc juniors nowadays don't do about 90% of what I had to do! I was running to the chemist to get photos developed, running to print shops to get drawings copied, going to the post office etc. But now with emails, smart phones etc, they don't have to do that. I am not pining for the old days, but I believe that made me confident in getting around the office to speak to people and ask questions etc. I also feel it made me earn my stripes. My current office the microwave is fucking RANK. So I bought a new one. It arrived yesterday. So this morning, I put it on his desk with a note to swap it out for the old one. FUCK ME It's caused a right uproar. Admin lass, sorry 'office and finance manager' (She answers the phone, opens the post and books meetings in), said I should have done it. Young bairn comes in, asks what he needs to do with the microwave. I explain he looks confused. Fuck me. DO WHAT YOUR'E ASKED YOU TIKTOK FANNY! Is this your job or do you just do this sort of thing under your own steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16844 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I mean when he looked at me confused I didn't rant and call him a tiktok wanker like Just explained we needed it swapping over and it would be appreciated if he could do it. Its the admin women who seems to think shes a main director. I explained to her I could do it, but I am too busy on TT, errr I mean getting design done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they thoroughly deserved it on account either emanating from Charles sack, being on the end of stuff emanating from his sack, or being married to the stuff that emanated from his sack and producing extra stuff that emanated from stuff that originally emanated from his sack. There's sacks of reasons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's sacks of reasons. Slightly on-topic, but, since every woman is born with every egg she’ll ever produce already formed, this means that the eggs must’ve been there before her birth. Which means that everyone, even non-mackems, has spent time inside their Granny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38940 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Carrying on this fascinating topic… The average marriage/long-term relationship in the Uk lasts 12.9 yrs. If we say that sexy time is three times a week, on average, and that you’re actually inside your partner for 5 minutes each session , on average, that means you’re inside for 15 minutes a week. Over the 12.9 yrs, that’s 10,062 minutes, or 6.98 days. Let’s call it a week that you’re inside your partner in total. The female reproductive system, including ovaries and eggs, is fully formed at 20 weeks in a normal pregnancy, meaning that we are all inside Granny for waaaay longer (20 weeks), than we are inside our chosen partner* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re making the assumption it’s always with a woman, Vincent Vanilla. Even if you massage the figures , you’re in your Gran for way longer.
