Same. Never have it on timer. My clan don’t want heating on first thing as they’re jumping out of hot showers, drying hair etc, say they get too warm if the heating is on..🙄

I need to get back out on my bike again. I’ve lapsed 100% last two years.

Now I’m 61 I don’t think I’ve said to my other half, now more than ever, when I’ve just gone to put stuff in the bin etc…Jesus it’s cold out there! To think I used to windsurf at West Kirby in those sort of winds 😆

It’s a bit chilly out there this morning with that biting wind, but the warm water pipes are doing a wonderful job warming my pins up…😀👍

Latest update. “It’s been misplaced” I’ve got to wait 48 hours before I can query again whilst they look for it.

It’s not so much the deliverer, he’s usually good, but I’ve had so much stuff stuck at the depot never leaving. Whoever picks up the main parcels meets all the couriers in a trading estate off Southport way and gives them the parcels. I went there once to speak to him. Might do again

It’s only work trainers, but it’s another incident in a long line with Evri. Retailers should declare who manages their deliveries, as I’d actively refuse to order from any company who uses Evri these days.

Still waiting. Obviously I’ve escalated it now, and they’re contacting the regional depot manager to see what’s going on. They’re now holding my paid for goods for no valid reason.

There is a staff leisure centre trip arranged for probably the same race meet. I’ve politely declined..Unless, we can introduce your leader to my staff, they can have a fabulous time, and we’ll do a pub crawl round the city walls 😀👍

We have same issue at the Brittas Empire, trying to return supposedly recyclable tubs to suppliers. Never turn up. 🙄

I can order three parcels on Monday. One from England, one from Southern France, and one from Portugal. Portugal and France both delivered. Guess which one is left? Fuck off Evri…

This is what I did. I’ve forgotten it all. I got a rather lucrative enticement off my old boss over a few pints, to come back to it about 5 years ago but I had to say I can’t remember how to do any of it now..😆

That and pissing in from what I can gather. Horrible filthy cesspits of human body fat and sweat. 😆

Had one this morning. Talking to the gym staff like utter shit because the telly on his treadmill was not working. I offered him our no tolerance policy. Added a last warning note on his record and said one more incident and you’re gone. It always gives me a great sense of warmth banning members.

I wouldn’t say that. The great flaw is I hate the general public. Never saw them in my old job. My other half said I’d last 6 weeks before decking someone when I started, with my disdain for TGBP. I’ve had a few complaints but thankfully I’ve adapted 😆

As long as you’re not the shave in the sauna type. I’ll let you off. My staff are on a kick to kill mission with anyone who does that. Dirty bastards. 😆

True, but it was driving me to an early grave. Never regretted it..

The mainframe job was the best in the 80’s . Like working on Joe 90 and we just got pissed in the St Paul’s pub with all the Echo printers on nights 😆

Yep. Mid life crisis. Decided at 45, The database job was highly stressful, despite the excellent money, a few other things going on, and I thought fuck it I’m having a reset. Went back on the beach lifeguard for the Summer, and thought, I’m going to give this leisure industry a go, and here I am.

Never understand why people shave in gyms.its filth! Do at home!
Hot water, wash face with a light facial scrub, rinse, apply more hot water, apply shave cream, razor must be tempered under hot water. Shave,downward strokes only. Apply hot flannel to face, splash cold water to face into shower.

I love my Merseyside over 60’s free travel pass. I jump on and off buses and trains with mucho gusto these days. I can do return train to Chester from Southport and anywhere in between for sweet FA. 🕺🕺
