    Coffee anyone

    Being totally honest whilst I wouldn't personally buy one (I'm an old fashioned black coffee, one sugar type - oh sorry forget 'Americano') if my local coffee shop started selling it, it wouldn't cause me a rant ................................ if I don't like it, I won't buy it simple as that...

    New cigarette packets.

    Thank you - i did try for a few days, but the coughing seemed to just get worse! I dont smoke a lot, so maybe the nicotine strength was too strong?

    Urgent warning

    Confused here - never tried them, never will but if they were legal why weren't they tested for safety before going on the market? The government make sure food stuffs, drinks, over the counter pain killers etc are tested, so why not legal highs? Banning them will surely only create a black...

    New cigarette packets.

    As one of the 'unclean' I have to say the new packaging will not alter my dirty little habit. I'll stop when I'm ready and no nasty pictures, public health warnings, bans in pubs will influence me. I don't smoke around non smokers - its not my right to force them to breathe second hand smoke...

    Username and Avatar.

    i haven't done an avatar just yet but when I do, its likely to be something cat related, like a paw print or similar as my other pastimes always seems to involve the mad boy cat I've had since he was a kitten - murphy - which explains the user name too! He was so named after Murphy's Law -...

    Food....

    Another one with olives - hated them as a kid, but now - well a fresh deli pot could be eaten in a few minutes! The other way round? As I'd kid, I'd eat kidneys - not the very thought makes me cringe - can't even eat steak & kidney pie.

    What music are you listening too or watching

    I'm going t blame the weather and not my age for my musical tastes I think! I am a huge Paul Weller fan and always have something Jam or Weller related in the car (not so much Style Council, but there is still the odd cd in there too!) but on he way home today has some Hosier on which suited...

    Strange things we like/Guilty pleasures!

    Having read the things that give us thee creeps, is there anything a bit odd you really like/guilty pleasures? For me its the smell of a brand new magazine - the trade types that come in the plastic wrapper through the post, I can't wait to open them an give them a good hard sniff! Lovely...

    Come on own up

    2 for me. I really really freak if birds are flapping close by - birds in general terrify me let alone all that flapping carry-on! And i certainly can't go near Trafalgar Square! The other is sponges - but only when they are left in cold water and go slimy - then my flesh creeps! If they are...

    Ships with no crew.

    Here is one scenario - one crew free ship sailing along when the computer malfunctions an starts dumping fuel causing a massive oil slick. In turn that injures and kills sea life and sea birds - all of which make up the natural eco-system. Some of which could be endangered species. A top...

    Ships with no crew.

    For me the main issue is that computers cannot apply common sense. The route says go left - the ship will go left, regardless of what may be in its path. A stranded ship? A pod of whales? Anything. From a pure economics point of view, yes keep it automated where practicable but with at...

    Early morning crew.

    I get up when other half gets up an he has to leave home at 5.30am to get to is work for a 7am start as he has an hours drive. I could decide to stay in bed and get up later, but I really like early morning - I think its most likely my favourite time of the day. (not so keen in the winter...

    My personal top 5 worst shoppers!! 1) The ones whose multitude of children all answer to 'oy geeeeet ere ya little (insert appropriate expletive off choice!) 2) The more mature couple - always with brown plastic/leather looking shopping bag who feel it necessary to keep tapping your back or...

    Bradford factor HR

    It would be my pleasure - always did fancy moving 'up north' :thumb: One thing I will say is sometimes HR can only do so much - we do get overwritten by management - even if we do fight it. If HR don't seem to be listening when you take it up with them, ask if you can speak with the...

    Bradford factor HR

    Yes, it would add on, but thats where common sense comes into it - personally I'd overwrite it so that it just records one instance of sickness in those circumstances, but technically yes you would have been better off taking the whole week (mad as it sounds). Its like with anything - the tool...
