As it's panto season:

"Oh, no we haven't...".......

Don't you start. We had enough of that from the clowns in parliament the other day, in the most cringe-worthy PMQs for many a long year.

Have any of you tipped the bin 'persons'(PC hat on) this Christmas?

That's not PC here, that's actuality. One of the bin people on our route is female, and 2 or 3 of the staff at the local recycling centre are too.

As of last year there is now a training course for Binpersons locally. I think the idea is that they can start as bin men but have the option to at least get to middle management.

Never seen a female binperson yet.

Ooooh. Ive just been banned from the Guy Martin thread.

I think this is the first time I’ve been banned from a thread.

I shall go and sit in the corner for the rest of the day.

Mine are 10".

Were you a wicket keeper.

 

[MikeG]

Were you a wicket keeper.

Yes.

 

[Illaveago]

Mine started after being ill in 03.

I think mine came in a similar way but some time after. I didn't know what they were at first, seeing a rainbow halo around around objects which gradually became worse. No headaches just feeling tired.

It is a grey windy morning here. I'd better get moving.

Same here, wet and miserable early on now sunny and a good breeze

 

[Salty seadog]

oi, nob off and stick your own bins out...

i'm aware that may come over wrong. I never meant to aim anything at you.

 

[fossyant]

It's all kicked off at work. Was going to lunch with some colleagues, but 'someone' has invited themselves and some bosses along. We're now hastily looking for somewhere else to go to lunch, as one of the team has resigned and one isn't having their contract reviewed, so we don't want lunch with said 'bosses'.

Last day and all eh. Time to start looking for a new job methinks.

Am i missing something here? I'm after buying some gloves and would like the right size. I think their size chart might be wrong.

View attachment 443295

I thought i had quite big hands. More long than shovel like,but if the chart is correct then some folk must have hands that are huge. Mine are 3 and 3 quarter inches wide and 10 inch long,if you add the wrist as above. Does anyone really have 9 inch wide hands?

9 & 93/4 here.

 

[Accy cyclist]

9 & 93/4 here.

Inch wide hands ?!!!! Could be a Yorkshire thing maybe?
