Little burn would like a "bow an nano" for his 10th birthday.

The sound Indiana Jones's revolver makes when he shoots someone with it, and the sound of Indy getting punched in the face. Two of cinema's great sound fx.

A meeting request being sent out to all UK staff, promoting the "Work Life Balance - can you have it all?" Initiative that's being run by one of the various useless departments in the organisation. It's scheduled for 6pm today, 45 minutes after official clocking off time.
Re: Little things in life that make you smile
Clearly they want you to leave early the next night to make up for it. Actually that's so nailed on I wouldn't even ask them, just walk off.

Went to the pub at 4 for a quick one, then got home just after 5. That's how to do the work/life balance.

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
Seems quite clear that they want to "improve" the work-life balance from their perspective by including more work and less life.Philosophical Dan wrote:A meeting request being sent out to all UK staff, promoting the "Work Life Balance - can you have it all?"

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
There's something satisfying about going to the pub for one pint (maybe two... maybe three), downing glass and then leaving on your pre-allocated time.Philosophical Dan wrote:Went to the pub at 4 for a quick one, then got home just after 5. That's how to do the work/life balance.

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
Needed a new indicator for my car, and the best I'd found was £43 from the local Ford dealer, if I collect it.
Was having a browse through eBay, to see if there was a second-hand one about, and one of the sponsored ads caught my eye.
I have just ordered an indicator for each side, delivered from Germany, for £41 in total

Re: Little things in life that make you smile
It took three hours on the phone, constant repetitions of 'Your call is important to us', and very dubious renditions of popular classic tunes, but I eventually got my car insurance down by over £600
