Bring your bullet-proof vest.
The 78 year old has just left Mexico City and moved back to Yorkshire after 42 years. He says the country (Mexico) is going to rack and ruin, you get routinely raided / your car stolen by either bandits in the city or narcotraficantes on the motorway, and health insurance costs Ł10,000 a year.
Sounds the ideal place for a business trip really.
Sounds about right.
Lovely city to visit though. Tons of stuff to see/do and the food is obviously excellent.
Ankles should only ever be uncovered if the knee is also. Or you’re under 25.
I had a good time in Mexico City. Unrelated but there was a man with a balaclava and a machine gun outside my hotel.
Security guard? Or just in that get up and tooled for the lols?
Many places are hiring their own private security, which usually involves pick up trucks and machine guns. Some crummy restaurant we used to always stop by on the way to Acapulco has a couple of them now, which is pretty lol.
Another terrible opinion that I disagree vehemently with.
Acting your age is never terrible.
You definitely dress like the I had to do it to em guy so this opinion is not surprising.
Giggles knows. I'd go as far as to say they shouldn't be uncovered unless the foot is also. Ankle socks are an atrocity.
I'll let you have sandals on cultural grounds, but lol if you're walking around in sports socks with shorts like some nineteen year old zoomer perm faggot.
I'm sorry but if you're gonna apply the f-bomb to one side of this debate, it ain't my side.
As a resident of Essex I am uniquely positioned to inform you all that loafer wearing, ankle swinging, sockless fannies are amongst the worst people in society.

I can't stop looking at that Vickery photo. It's so perfect. I think it's the tie that does it.
I thought it was Prince Andrew.
Cricket whites.
I’m not Mert, for fuck’s sake. I don’t wear shorts like some sort of child.
Children don't know instinctively how to dress for the weather, so if you don't wear shorts you are just dressing like a child with terrible parents.
My wife is complaining that two of the younger women at her spot have come in today wearing 'tiny tops and shorts up their arse like they're on Love Island'. Given she works in a male dominated industry (Haulage) I suspect she will be in the minority complaining. They are a weird spot though, they don't have any dress code at all so there are lads cutting about bare foot in shorts and united shirts. Even on our office 'casual' days pre-covid no-one would be pulling that shit.
Reply: sounds terrible. I don’t really understand the problem though? Take a photo so I can see what you mean.
Is this really an ‘only children should wear shorts’ take?
I'm a twit
A don doesn't wear shorts.
Wearing shorts with your coat would look stupid to be fair.
The Tories are such bastards for saying that "doctors" are included whenever they announce pay rises for the healthcare sector.
What they actually mean is consultants and GPs and no other doctors. Every other doctor's pay rise will be 2%. This was what was negotiated when the new contract came in what, ten years ago now? With the proviso it would be renegotiated if circumstances changed. The government are claiming circumstances haven't changed so it can't be renegotiated. Cunts.
Long-term I want to stay working in the NHS but they don't half try to put you off. The temptation to just do private allergy clinics or something and rake it in once I qualify becomes more attractive by the day.
That would have sufficed.
Tell her to not be jelly.
Everyone loves their public sector stuff until they have to deal with it, init.
I love my job. I genuinely look forward to going to work. I hate the Leetards who manage hospitals and how this government treats the NHS.
Take the monies.
Everyone loves monopoly provision being used to suppress producer costs until they are the producer.
I'm all for daft references when the time's right but what's this about:
In 2021/22 councils planned spend on services for young people in England was Ł382 million. That's over three times what it cost Paris St Germain to re-sign Kylian Mbappe, the most expensive teenager in football of all time!
I'm a twit
It would be better value for each council to sign JLingz on a free
A 1 in 2 success rate over a short period of time with the right manager is a much better rate than most councils are used to.
After being off ill all week I've had a great chance to fully reflect on the first few months in my new role. I reckon I could have done all the work I've done in about 50 hours, I've honestly spent the vast majority of my 4 months playing Pokémon showdown, watching shite on YouTube and messaging the other new starter on teams like "what the fuck are we actually supposed to be doing?!"
It should be the dream for someone as lazy as me but I'm slowly losing my mind. We'd been given this very low intensity task of going through stuff sent to us by a wealth screening company, basically seeing if people are worth pursuing for ŁŁŁŁŁ, it's just the kinda busy work you plod along with when you're bored of the proper work. I messaged my manager like "anything else you want me to be doing or shall I just do the wealth screening stuff?", to which he just replied yeah just do that. That was about a month ago lol.
It's easier said than done, but I'd be using that time to find a better job.
Or a time-consuming hobby.
Yeah you're bang on really, I was sorta hoping it would turn around cus my manager is actually a really nice guy, and they were massively behind from being previously super understaffed but I think 4 months is more than enough leeway to give him.
I don't even think I've got much room to progress anyway - they hired me and this other girl as juniors, but she's been given thousands of pounds of training with the intention of making her a senior in twelve months time, which pretty much cements me in the junior bitch position for the indefinite future anyway. It's the most money I've ever earned (27k, so not that much), so I'm a bit worried I won't find anything half as decent with my patchy CV but I think at this stage I'd take significantly less if it meant I didn't throw myself in front of a fucking train or something.
The devil will make work for idle hands, I was getting a bit out of control with my drinking until one day I cracked open my first can at like 2pm and realised I was losing the plot a bit and knocked that all on the head.
Have you considered the public sector? You'd piss your current wage.
Nope. You’re getting paid 27k to chill out all day at home? Ride that out for as long as you can. I used to have it that cushty and it was class. It’s obviously gonna get busier, so just make the most of it while you can. Get World Of Warcraft [Classic] or something.
I'm a twit
My last week at work next week and the notice period has been particularly brilliant. Managing to completely shut down and not do anything for 8 weeks while still getting full pay has been quite excellent. I'm going to travel to meet my team early August in Berlin which will be cool. Also getting a mac to work on so will need to figure out how the fuck to use it.
Are you working from home? The only way this could be bad would be if you're in the office and have to look like you're busy.
I got a mac at my last job about 15 months ago (and one at the new one I started a couple of weeks ago). I probably wouldn't pay that money myself for one and it took a bit of getting used to but I love it now.
Been sent a load of parking fines for the Covid mobile testing unit.
I'm a twit
Do parking wardens have revenue targets? I bet they do.
Yeah, pretty sure Panorama have done stories about them being on targets and/or commission/performance related pay.
There was that show in the 90s that followed that absolute jobsworth who worked late (for free) because he wanted to beat the daily record of tickets given. I think it was The Clampers?
Some guy came in the bar tonight asking if I knew any local hotels/BnBs because he’d been kicked out of his one. I told him a couple then asked how he managed to get kicked out of his one. He’d shit in the bed and then threw a plate of spaghetti bolognese at housekeeping when they asked why he shit in the bed.
I served him his alcohol in plastic glasses and told him it was closing time.
Just as I was making my coffee to head off the wife rang my phone to tell me it was a bank holiday
Turns out it's a bank holiday in Scotland too so the jocks at our place are seething about driving down at 4am this morning.
I've booked today off to take the kids out, so I'm basically Scottish. No wonder I was so miserable last night.
