Our department manager having an argument with one of the project managers in our department, who I work with. The project manager now has the arsehole & is threatening to leave, wonderful, leave me with even more work.

Just keep telling myself, FOUR MORE WEEKS TO GO!!!

Cramp! ouch! Now I can't walk properly for a couple days either..

[Yudster]

Really? That's pretty bad cramp.

[McGuinness-89]

Stop talking cramp.

[nicowoodcock]

Well, this morning i couldn't walk properly at all. As the day went on it's got progressively easier, but still painful.

[McGuinness-89]

I meant no offence by the way it was just an excuse for what was an awful pun.It didn't really work either.

[nicowoodcock]

I didn't take any, don't worry. Although your either right about it being awful, as I still don't get it.. or I'm just slow.

[McGuinness-89]

Cramp=Crap.

[foot-loose]

McGuinness - don't explain your puns. They are your own reword.

Is it just me, or has the whole of http://www.bbc.co.uk gone down?


edit: Never mind, its working now. But for at least 5 minutes just then it wouldn't

I was in Asda earlier and a lady (early 40's) was talking to her daughter while pushing the trolly with the grandson, who was sat in the little trolly seat. He was poking his Grandmother to get her attention. She turned around to the toddler and said (and I quote) "Keep doing that and Grandma will punch you in the face".

Incredible.

[Munki Bhoy]

Awesome. My kind of granny.





As long as she doesn't actually do it.

Was she from Glasgow?

For those who haven't seen it on Twitter, this appalling abuse by 'Ian', a London Underground member of staff on an innocent elderly man is absolutely disgusting.

You can't get all your shopping in a Tesco Metro.

[chrysostom]

plus it's more expensive

[MK Chris]

Changing milk? What?

Our dairy does lovely milk, 50p a pint though - not extortionate, but not cheap.

[Zoot]

It sounds weird but I can taste the difference if we are on holiday and we have to have Sainsbury's milk instead of Tesco's.

But all the major supermarket brands get the milk from the same dairy!

[Latina]

I've just switched to goat's milk. Was relieved to find it didn't actually taste any different to what I was used to at all.

EDIT: That's not annoying me, sorry.

[chrysostom]

i used to have a thing about safeway ham, i would never eat the sandwiches i got with it as school - but tesco ham was fine. i found the safeway ham smelt and tasted foul

No they do not.

Also Supermarkets now source much of their milk "locally" So tesco's milk may come in from a local Dairy, but Sainsbury through National Distribution.

Sainsbury and Tesco especially do not like there big suppliers supplying both with own label. They think supply issues would mean they would not get priority.

I can taste the difference in different bottled water,Volvic is the best......no one cares.

See, You know alot more about this than me Bob, for obvious reasons, so there is no way I'm going to question you. However I have to admit after long conversations with my Father in-law pver the years (who is a big(ish) wig at Dairy Crest), I did think otherwise. This link seems to mention it too - http://www.dairycrest.co.uk/our-busines ... tions.aspx

[Boboff]

You are right with that business supplying brands into the Supermarkets, cheese, spread, milkshakes, all with big brands and big marketing budgets.

I don't know any more than I have said, it is very hard to actually know who is supplying own label products, like milk, into the Supermarkets, the label always stays the same, with the Supermarket address, so I don't know.

Robert Wiseman plays a major role now, post the "monopoly" of the Milk Marketing Board.

It's Friday, I don't care.
