The Grumble Thread - No energy for a full on rant.

[fuzzy]

I am currently almost spherical from managing to eat most of a takeaway delivered by our nearby Indian food emporium, an extreme rarity for us.  Luckily I am in the office on my own today, I suspect farting may possibly occur....

Perhaps it is fortuitous that the Ka leaks?

Yup, thats me taking cover over there ------------>

[Andrij]

Excruciating pain in my lower back and I'm all out of cocodamol.    Good thing I had today off ,eh?

At least I can walk - sorta.  Not looking forward to tomorrow...

Skipping over last night and 'sleep' ... After an hour or so of slowly and carefully getting ready this morning, I can move fairly normally.  Now at work and preparing for around three hours of meetings.  Getting up from the table at the end should be entertaining.  Hopefully the {checks pacakge} Voltarol I picked up from the chemist will get me through it.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Hope you feel better soon. Voltarol sounds like it should have you dancing, or at least put some zap into you.

My grumble for today is second-hand smoke. Actually third-hand smoke; our visitor is a non-smoker but her husband, who's not here, gets through 40 a day and her coat, hanging in the hall, leaves a distinct whiff of Mars. Except it turns out he gave up a couple of months ago, so in fact it's fourth-hand smoke.

A plea from the heart!

Dear colleague,

The cisterns on these toilets take forever to fill up, seriously- a long time.

Arriving at the facilities needing to engage in a tactical download to discover a pan containing urine is a bit disconcerting. I mean, suffering Neptune’s Kiss (Google it) contaminated with my own urine is bad enough but, someone else’s? Eeeeew!

Please flush after a tactical wee. Having to flush before downloading really adds a long time to my day.

Love and Kisses.

Ha!  I do enjoy dancing, but doubt I'm pretty sure neither our COO nor the clients we're meeting would appreciate me cutting a rug at this morning's meeting.

At least that thought has put a smile on my face.

Fuzzy, I think you'll find that goes directly against advice issued from elsewhere in the organisation that came out just a few weeks ago.

If it's brown flush it down, if it's yellow let it mellow

Give me a personal issue trap and I will follow that advice.

Technically, of course, you mean 'uploading'.

A pedant.

Meanwhile, back to chips. 
It seems the word "small" should have been replaced by "Cone".

OMG do they still sell a cone of chips?!

I used to spend 50p on a cone of chips on a Thursday night after Top Of The Pops, and if you gave me a snog outside the chippy, I'd share them with you! 

Oh god I really am old aren't I.

eta:

Basil how much is it for a cone of chips in this new century?

What does it take these days to get some chips off you?

A snog, but only if you're the right person.

Do you want tongues with that?

Not from you I bloody don't.

It's not about direction, it's about who initiates the transaction.  Having a poo is usually initiated by the user, rather than the toilet.  Unless perhaps it's one of those complicated Japanese ones and you press the wrong button...   

[Andrew Br]

What happens if someone offers you a chip Ruthie ?

Or that one with the fan from the other thread goes into overdrive?

[Ruth]

I say thank you and nom it quickly before they change their mind.  Obv.
