Yep we got one of those :shock:

Smells like p**s :Sick
Every office must have a couple, smelly tw*ts!

And the weirdos that wear their fleece indoors all summer, christ knows what's wrong with them. Everyone else is sweltering in short sleeves and shorts, and they're sat on IPS with long trousers and a coat on. :crazy:

perhaps not as rare that we thought :roll: :chuckle

we have a casual on my division that gets the van everyday so is normally between 1 to 1.5 hours late getting dropped off everyday. He still takes his summer lapsing everyday and normally does over half a walk OT as well. Saturday he took his walk, lapsing, 1 row from 1 walk, 1 row from another walk and another half row from a another walk! the walks wernt even close to each other and he was on foot getting to them! :crazy:

Not sure how this works and it may be correct but other day our dim told us all to take our meal reliefs at 6.30am... we had only been in 10 mins but told us all that due to no mail been in building and nothing to do we had to do it... off course a few of the senior guys started going on about the getting the union in and the fact that you have to be working x amount of hours before you can take a break... either way didnt make our dim very popular but then again i guess thats part of there job to annoy the hell out of us all.

Certain postman at our office used to come in 2 hours before his start time to play pool but didn't put a letter in his frame untill his start time. then has the time to walk down isle's a number of times for no reason but to see what others have on. he also used to come in on his day off to play pool.
