My missus in is San Diego for a "work retreat" with her 100% remote company. Seething with jealousy. Last I heard they had 300+ applications to a fairly standard entry level customer service type role and had to close the listing after a couple of days.

So Lao needs a somewhat unlikely tally of 4 goals in the last game of the season. Could happen I suppose.
I was seriously funking for a brace for him in the Brighton game to give me some scant bit of hope but we were beyond woeful. It's all yours at this stage bar a miracle.

Then in early June, we're off to Lisbon in Portugal for Primavera Sound followed by a few days drinking vino down by the Douro. Accommodation was very reasonable in both locations. There is 4 adults going so maybe that helps rather than a family.
There will be a week out west in most likely July/August which should only cost a tank of petrol and I'm thinking of doing a city break in Sept/Oct but haven't put any thought into it at all as yet.

A fair few that I wasn't really interested in working with, just seeing how far I could stretch out the requirements.
WGH 3+ days is standard and 9-5 is almost dead. Had a call with a CTO who I talked convincingly around to starting @ 10am+ given most core meeting hours are after 10
and it enables people to arrive in work without a streesful commute and an easier school run.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I see that Britney's father may not have been the control freak he was made out to be, but rather someone who was genuinely looking out for his extremely troubled daughter.
That's right - I'm calling out today Tuesday 10th of May as IPB Britney Discussion Day."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Due to the rapid expansion of "Pats pub for hire" (actually turning into a nice side gig), I'm in the market for some Oktoberfest/industrial style outdoor benches. I've looked around and only real option at non ridic prices is amazon. Anyone know a guy or any recommendations?Jayzus, Sheila! I forgot me feckin' trousers

€20, if its a general invite, €50 if its a niece or nephew. At least when I looked it up a year ago.
Fecking tooth fairy is up to a fiver now. Which is a constant pain given the general lack of cash. Usually need to run to an ATM, then down to a garage and buy a chomp to get change, then the kid wakes up and goes - oh look I got a fiver as expected, can you put it in my revolut?"We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Actually I was thinking of putting in more for my niece just to be nice, but then decided against it as it would make the other family members look bad, so stuck with the 50. As long as everyone gives the same the system works to a tee."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Like our float wouldnt even have that many. We would start the day with a max of 20 fives and usually less.
The face on her was incredible, instantly pissed off complaining and demanding. The owner happened to be the one on the receiving end for once so ended giving her what we had and a few from his wallet.
The sense of entitlement with some people is staggering and disgusting in equal measure. Have these people never heard the word no before in their entire cossetted lives.
I was serving a customer with 1 other waiting and you have another Karen butting in from the side literally interjecting herself in to the customers space wanting to know do we do a certain product (which we didnt)
Me saying "I'll be with you in a little bit I'm just with a customer at the minute" Face all impatient and annoyed that I woupdnt drop everything and tend to her immediately.
Big sigh on finding out we didnt do the product and demanding "well where would I get it then" Me thinking (well you could pull apart the cheeks of your wrinkled fat hole and take a ganders up there)
Another eye roll and a tutting noise on learning that perhaps google might be a good fucking start.

Hate bringing her anywhere...walking through Harvey Norman, typical convo goes like this..."state of that"...."who would buy that"....she would remind you of Gran from Kathrine Tate...just as racist but not as funny.Last edited by oleras; 11-05-22, 08:38.This too shall pass.

Had one of the young ones who works there a bit shocked at a customer randomly saying to her "you couldnt have done well in leaving cert if you're working here"
I was saying to her she probably thought she was being funny and that she should have told her she was a law student!
"oh didnt think of that, I was too taken aback"
On the Pat front Pat played against both out in city west recently. Sausage finger Pat (he was only in the game briefly) and Pat V. Good omaha game with some old Fitz regs and randomers (even had Denise in dealing for a bit, met her one of the nights earlier, big hug and a bit of a catch up which was nice)
Was shocked to hear Neil Duggan had passed away Jan 21.

Which one was Niall Duggan? Biggest shock ever from the Fitz was when that poor girl had her throat slit by her also poker playing hubby and saw her pic in the paper.
I can still hear her distinct Dublin accent when she getting 7, 2. A nice girl . You never know who you are sitting beside.
I remember playing Squash back in the day with this nice little ol fella in Drimnagh, (Spheres- where Pat Shanahan was shot) . I knew his name was Des Kelly but never twigged it was the carpet fellow until I was slagging him one day about something (old age related) and one of the wags told me he was the actual Des of carpet fame. I recall being in the sauna and said loudly. Hey Des, do you know where you can get FELT for a tenner around here. Willie he said, that’s as old as me, that quip. Feck I thought it was genius , ah well . (corny jokes are repeatable right) I heard he died a few years back. Not in touch with the D12 Gangsta news I guess. He told me he got an all over body scan every so often to look out for the big C etc. I met his sons and they were very amicable. Not sure where the gansta reputation came from, I didn’t get that vibe from them anyway.

He was a bit hard of hearing so you could barely hear him when he spoke. Dee was telling me had hepatitis.
He would gave been about 57 years old or so.
