Morning Losers!
Well, not a single response to yesterdays post. Wow. Have to admit I'm getting tired of this forum. Will see how this week goes.
So, today I return to work. Hopefully it should be quiet, but you can never be sure in this business.
After work, I need to sort the house out. It's just a mess.
Laters!

Off for three days in the Lakes with the Family and Dog. Just packing and watching the weather forecast very closely. No bikes unfortunately as the hotel won't let us leave the Dog unattended in the room. Bum.I am the Orange stereotype and loving it.0

Morning all,
Early start and back in the office make for a grumpy me. Have to go back to the dentist shortly to check on progress of the hole connecting my mouth and my sinus, deep joy. Hopefully things will improve later today.0 -
Morning,
Back to work after a weekend away in/near the lakes. Didn't do anything of any note except get very wet on a very short walk. Hoping to book the same place for a week over summer as well, holds 30 people and it's only £54 per night all year round. Might be a bit rough around the edges but it beats paying peak season prices anywhere else.
Late start at work meh, haven't left yet. Half term innit, so nowt to do when working in schools.

It has got a bit poor of late compared to low standards
In Solihull today and waiting for the first conference call to start - the joys
Later is unplanned and after an excessive weekend should be job based rather than pub based0 -

Today is my Sunday as I have a day off It will involve the dog, but not tied to any handle bars. He'll just get a walk instead."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Morning,
yay back to work after a week off! (feel free to change yay to what ever expletive you see fitting) feel like I could have another week off an ive only been here just over an hour. Nothing much occurring either.
Today will be spent easing back into work calling as few people as possible and pondering a new job.
I get what you mean about it slowing down. Not the first forum ive seen do this hopefully its a blip rather than a real issue.
TKM, first day back here usually involves lots of password resets an "Oh I broke this over the weekend" moments.0 -

Luckily, I don't have to deal with passwords and stuff, so nothing to worry about. I did get to wipe all of our studios hard drives :twisted: It's oddly satisfying knowing that someone hasn't backed up their work, and will try and blame me for their laziness :twisted:It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

I wonder why?
Not much happening here either apart from some white stuff dropping from the sky as I got up.
I hope it isn't a sign of what's coming over summer.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -

Snap I just get the odd ticket pop up for people who claim they have had the passwords changed an still cant login. No drive wipes here but we do get lots of people who despite us having a proper email archive system insist on using PST files an wonder why their 12Gb PST doesnt work :roll: I do enjoy telling them we dont support them an closing the ticket down :twisted:0 -

The trouble with the crud was that people started getting a little too aggresive in responses to people asking genuine questions. It became a place where honest questions got ridiculed and turned into jesting places. The mods tried to control it but lost their way and also got involved with it.
I've tried the odd thread such as the book one, but unless people get involved, it gets buried into the next page and lost for ages.It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Can't compete with facebook. A lot of forums have gone downhill as facebook groups and pages have grown. To compete they're going to need a slick app or something. Even that would be a lot of expense without any guarantees.0

Someone told me about his friend called Mary:
Mary had a little lamb,
and it was always gruntin;
She tied it to a five bar gate
and kicked its little c*nt in.
You could do that with an ox or indeed a rottweiler - I couldn't of course because I love animals but you could. I know you could. So try it and let us know....take your pickelf on your holibobs....

We know someone with an Alaskan Malamut, would be good for towing. Actually I could borrow him, take him to Wales and save on uplift costs."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Although part of it has also been that some of the old characters have gone and we've not had much in the way of replacements."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
Good job on the resurrection shuffle Stevo.
Now here's a radical thought. Is there a problem where the daily threads push other threads off the first page too quickly? Would we be better off having a single thread and just keep it rolling with our daily musings? This would be particularly satisfying now that Stevo and I have got a particular roadie into the daily thread habit after much whining from him.0 -

Well Mr. Bossmule, how about 7 daily threads - one for each day. Then all the thickos won't get so confused about what day they are talking about"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0
