Another thing that irritates me is managerial/corporate speak; it's like a whole sub-genre of English that only gets deployed in bureaucratic emails or waffly meetings. Prime offenders include "take a view" (make a decision/have an opinion), to "action" (to do), "difficult decisions" (cuts), and loads of annoying phrases link "ring-fencing", "playing by ear", "treading on toes"... etc etc etc.

"Steady state" FUCKING "steady state".

I just hate technology in general, but I REALLY hate cables. Man, fuck cables.

The one phrase I hate more than anything is "touch base." I'll touch your mum's cunt, mate.

I use all of those phrases. I'm run dental practices in London.

The EDL piss me off.

Quotes like that make me feel very, very old. I was 14 when she came to power.

And I hate the snow and freezing cold weather. We got 2 feet of the crappy white shit on Tuesday/Wednesday this week. Took me all day Wednesday to dig my drive out and a path round the side of the house. Now it's about -15C and I'll have to wait until probably April for it to go away. Frigging Chicago !

it pisses me off when i havent been on this site for a week and when i do, there hasnt been a single worthwhile post!!!



oh, and typox.. erm typos

I'm sorry for pissing you off Billy

Interviews man I do not understand how people can make a judgement on you in 10 minutes.

My case point I gave up everything I have to persue a career in nursing/medic field. I can accept that I probably am not the first person you would of think of persuing a career in this field.

However they make it bloody hard for me to succeed considering I have all the correct pieces of paper to say I am qualified.

They tell me the job is stressful and affects your social life, but I cant make them understand I was a policeman for 7 years, they are not telling me anything I am not aware of or cannot handle.
