I've been posting on here since 2003! 😮

I bought and read his book 'Left Again at the Womble' about him volunteering through Shelter serving pints at Glastonbury 2011 as I was about to do the same for the 2019 festival. Helped me prepare for what was about to come, although like others I found myself shouting at the book as Rick seemed to mainly drink coffee and not explore some of the less popular areas (in that one at least) RIP Rick.

Glad it’s not just me that’s noticed it...the people who’ve been arguing against me are the same ones who have 5-6,000 posts in this thread alone!

I've outlined why in other posts mate.

What I don't get is why people who were rarely in meetings before COVID/WFH are now constantly on teams calls and unavalible. I've heard other managers who are in the office (when I have been) complaning that they can never get hold of certain people and I struggle with it too. Whereas pre COVID/WFH I could speak to someone quickly in the office about something I now have to book in an appointment with them for a MS Teams call which sometimes is hours later. Ridiculous.

load of tosh mate, she's been working at the college fine for 2 years and there is no social anxiety there whatsoever....like most people I think its because they can get away with doing less at home.

I had a debate with my team leader who announced that she won't be returning to working full time in the office and I pushed her a little on why. She is in her mid-20's, lives 15 mins from our place of work, has no children or any other reason that makes working from home easier. She had no answer for me....funnily enough one of my friends works with her boyfriend and through that con

Not for me, been my worst nightmare come true.

Labbatts was another popular one when I first started drinking in pubs!

I'm sure they were all doing a Facebook check in or a picture of their pint to go on Instagram! 😄

Made me laugh coming home from work on the bus on Monday...we stopped at some lights by a big river front pub in Oxford and at one of the tables there was a group of six people all sat together, none of them talking to each other and just playing on their phones! You would have thought to have gone to all that effort to 'socalise' they would actually talk to one another!

I have a beanie! 😄
