Things you'd like to say, but can't

Fun and games down in the valley on a quiet night!

I was getting annoyed with them but then I remembered being that age and trying to get out of a friend's car while it was doing 30 mph ... It's amazing how quickly clinging onto a flapping car door by your fingertips can sober you up! (And how painful having your shoes and socks torn off and using your toes as brakes is.)

Still, at least I was only damaging myself!

Listening to two girls talking about a week away in a hot country somewhere. One has packed 7 pairs of shoes....

I guess the rest of her clothes are in the 'daysack' she has with her.

Who cares about sea and sunshine when you have 7 pairs of shoes to choose from?

Don't shoes fetishists deserve a holiday every now and then?

Not a holiday if you have to constantly worry about what pair of shoes goes with which outfit. Either that or you're very vain

I have given up trying to understand other people!

I once did a mountainous group ride in Spain and we stopped at a cafe in Guadalest. An English tourist heard us talking and came over to ask if we were cyclists. One of our number immediately replied that we were Lycra fetishists and had driven up there! No, of course we were cyclists, hence the bicycles leaning against the wall next to us ...

The tourist told us that he had just driven over from Benidorm and he had seen lots of cyclists riding up the Tudons (1,000 metre climb behind the town). Yeah, that was probably us. He indicated that driving up mountains was what you do on holidays, you don't ride bikes up them!

Each to their own!

Was the focus of the holiday about cycling or cycling up the mountain though?

Because that's the whole point of it. If i wanted to stare at shoes all day i wouldn't waste a few hundred on flying somewhere exotic to do it unless there was some special shoe event somewhere i just had to get to.

Save money and chill at home with a beer...... And all your shoes

Corbyn is a communist with harebrained ideas. He means well but is rubbish.

Wrong thread

:edit:

Oooops, semi wrong thread perhaps

 

[GrumpyGregry]

So. So-and-so has quit, so-and-so simply walked out. so-and-so is off on long term sick from stress, several so-and-so's have insisted on being rolled off. Why wouldn't I want to go too?

Since I left, a lot of the department has gone too.
Ever considered that maybe it wasn't me who was the problem?

It wasn't me who deleted the entire build from the code repository 2 days before a scheduled release........

My money is on the "how is that even possible?" useless rant getting deployed.

Not exactly, but there was a horrible sick feeling immediately after it dawned on me that you don't get the multiple "Are you really sure you want to delete the remote branch" messages when deleting a local copy from your sandbox...
Maybe next time I'll read the message instead of being on auto-pilot and simply hitting yes.

Fortunately all has been restored and I get to keep my job (at least for now).
