Re: July Army Thread 2019
Morning everyone!
Today the cold continues on. The good news is that I gave it to my boss. Kudos me.
Today I saw him struggling with the printer on our floor. He had pulled every drawer open and was examining it askance. I told him it would never work without a token and I would go get one for him. I never came back. Have you ever heard of a company owned printer needing a token? No, me either. Turns out there was no paper in the thing. Can't wait until he submits his PhD and buggers off.
What is it about weddings and what it does to people's heads?If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

[MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] - jst keep your head down - say nothing. Let Bridezilla get on with it - don't get dragged into that particular minefield.
Tell her the hat is THE HAT - and get over it.
As for people who won't eat this & that - I have no time for it.
This is not going to be your last meal on earth FFS - eat what you can, be grateful to be fed & you too get over it :haha:
As you can see my tolerance for crap is very low at the moment .....

Re: July Army Thread 2019
Morning,
They made a rod for their own back when they put on the invites............' dietary requirements'. Up til now, they've got a few vegetarians, one vegan, and a few gluten free and I think me asking for a beef Madras, vegetable pilaw rice and Peshwari naan didn't go down too well.
I'm actually just listening............and saying 'that's nice'. And tbh she needs someone who isn't her own mother to vent to.
[MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION].........my hippy day ground to halt after I couldn't find any patchouli oil, joss sticks or a teepee in Aldi.......sigh.
Oh you must get some tokens to put on your desk.
Oh one thing about dogs. I really wish parents would ask if your dog is okay before they allow they're tiny tot to charge at them. Luckily Bess is. On the big field, you see it all the time. I always ask if I can say hello to someone's dog..........met a beautiful Bulldog the other day called Raymond..what a fab name.It could be worse, I could be filing.

I think you'll find joss sticks in the same isle as the hash cookies and Deepak Chopra books.If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

Re: July Army Thread 2019
We are MELTING [MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION], and its only hitting the mid 20s. We are not built for this weather and are collectively struggling to cope! the poor sods who headed to Spain and France are freaking out, understandably, its almost 40 :egad:
Hilarious [MENTION=9170]byebyebridgetjones[/MENTION]. You should print some tokens out, with long numbers to input, see what happens.
Mr M still has 2 different vouchers (I copped on that he never spends them) that I gave him. I just inserted logos and made them look official. As long as he doesnt decide to actually spend them one day, its like printing money..Last edited by IamMary; July 25, 2019, 05:43 PM.AF - July 19th 2015 :happy2:

[MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION]............give us a week and we'll be moaning about the rain. It was up to 41c/105F in Paris.........doubt that would make it the city of romance at the moment. Luckily I'm up north so its not as bad as the rest of the Britain but its still hot. I can't get any less clothes on without being arrested.
I have to go into town.........its a chore but we need to eat.It could be worse, I could be filing.

Re: July Army Thread 2019
I'm glad you aren't suffering too much, @JackieClaire. Mid-20s is pretty normal around here for summer, @IamMary, and maybe even a little bit cool. I can't imagine how the riders in the Tour de France are handling the heat!
This is a cool (but alarming!) map that projects the 2050 weather conditions for world cities in terms of current conditions in other cities: Cities of the future: visualizing climate change to inspire action. For example, London is projected to have Melbourne's current weather, which would be quite a change! Another map shows London being like current-day Barcelona.Last edited by NoSugar; July 26, 2019, 09:40 AM.

Re: July Army Thread 2019
[MENTION=18725]NoSugar[/MENTION] thanks for that it's so cool ....
Is it me or is it not too dramatic a change ? - to be getting our panties in a twist. Do we not accept that the climate will change and we will all have to adapt ?
Down the ages is that not what we & the animal kingdom have had to do ?
I am possibly but very ignorant of the whole situation. But ... when I see a small country like Ireland (4 million) targeting our few farmers for emissions from grass fed cattle while importing beef from huge producers in Argentina & Brazil.
Also the government telling us reduce our carbon footprint & switch our few meagre cars to electric - I grow very cynical.
I wonder what the feck it is that they are up - they want to distract us from
