Watermill Gardens?
So that must have been the watermill that you bulldozed to build the 4 and 5 bedroom houses.

I noticed some new housing projects being built in this area a couple of years ago with names (something) like 'Riverside View' and 'Waterside Cottages'. The properties were half-built when flooding struck the valley in their locations. When I saw the signs again a few weeks after the floodwaters had subsided I noticed that all of the developments had been hastily renamed to remove any references to their proximity to water!

Reminds me of the new housing at Mexborough that will be bulldozed for HS2. The residents probably don't know they're on a flood plain and an old sewage works.

We could have a great thread finding names for that!

You're a sweet kid but every time I see you I want to dunk you in a vat of sheep dip! Shower every day, wash your hair, take care of your skin, you are oily and spotty, not a good look.

The new (ish) housing estates at Catcliffe are on a flood plain and the brand new estate that is still being built (just down the road behind JTF on the road to Handsworth) are on a old landfill site. Purchase a house there and get flooding and subsidence at no extra cost.

The new super-duper version of Firefox is living up to its fast-browsing promises........... but why the hell have you moved all the controls around so that I can't find anything?

I am experimenting with it today and yes - it does feel pretty nippy! FF used to be my 3rd choice of browser so I didn't pay a lot of attention to what was where but I am thinking of promoting it to 2nd or even 1st choice and relegating my old Opera to 2nd or 3rd choice. (Chrome being the other choice and Internet Explorer never getting a look in.)

First thing I did was customise all the icons and move them to their ‘correct’ places.

Coming back to it afresh this morning I'm finding my way around it and have had a play with some of the settings. I think I'm going to like it.

For Heavens sake lower your voice, you're on the phone not a loud hailer. I can't hear myself think and the client I'm talking to can probably hear every word too.

And now you can't handle the call because the client is shouting back and being argumentative and you've had to ask your supervisor to deal with him. Have you ever thought there might be a link between number of times that happens with your clients and the tone/volume you use when speaking to them?

And of course if 'N' was doing her job properly as supervisor she'd be advising you about your technique.

 

[Bromptonaut]

OK so somebody's left a dribble of wee on the toilet seat. You come back to the office and moan about how people cannot use a loo properly and management ought to something about it. But then it might be a visitor to the building 'cos (whinge/moan) some of us don't latch the door to avoid faffing with the bog key.

FFS it shouldn't happen but it has, it's not that big an issue - it's not like there's crap smeared on the wall.

Why not just MTFU, grab a scrunch of bog roll and wipe it up then wash your hands thoroughly?

Blimey - sounds like we work at the same place...

Did you dribble on the seat Dave?

 

[NorthernDave]

Did you dribble on the seat Dave?

Certainly not - but I seem to spend far too much time listening to other people whinging about the state of the facilities...

@popularCCposter. You are so far up your own butthole it’s a wonder you don’t puke yourself up.
