“Got an email:
"It's been a while since we have seen you and we have had the place decorated while you have been away." Really? Was on here last week! I guess it depends on your idea of 'a while' I suppose? : - )” lol alright guys you win Tried to pick out as many recent posters as I could but missed you both. Got you responding though and gave John a nudge Have a great weekend both. How unbelievable would the Trump saga be as a film? 13th January 2017 4:45 PM
“Trump is a real threat to world peace, if he doesn't get his own way he spits his dummy out like a child,...”
He's certainly spat his dummy plenty of times recently, will get it worse with the pressures of office? Or will the team around him isolate him from outbursts and take over his PR and social media channels... GP Appointments...... 13th January 2017 11:26 AM Blimey you scared off all the locals??? Our local quacks is permanently rammed with sick people, which is why I try and stay away. To be fair they can normally squeeze you in when we have the inevitable sick child, and can't fault them in general. How unbelievable would the Trump saga be as a film? 12th January 2017 11:34 AM
With days to go before he officially becomes President I can only imagine this free to air entertainment show is going to get even more bizarre. If this really was a film or a book, would you believe it? An alleged conspiracy from the Kremlin to install a favourable presidential candidate, further allegations that Russian spies have compromising information that can blackmail him, with President elect defending the Russian President, whilst publicly criticising his own security services and military. Naturally the information has to come from a former MI6 agent, that way we can get some Aston Martin car chases with a London backdrop. Then you have the main character almost going out of his way to alienate the press corps, whilst giving a live running commentary of the unfiltered and unmoderated thoughts in his head on social media. If nothing else, I think Mr Trump has revitalised the declining fortunes of Twitter
If nothing else Godwins law is alive and well: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Hitler approaches" Who would of thought they would hear the incoming President of the United States compare the Country they are about to represent to Nazi Germany? Currently President Elect Trump is in the honeymoon period, he has no actual responsibility. What will happen when the full weight of Presidential responsibility lands on his shoulders? Will he be tweeting live from the G8 summit or telling us about the latest spat he has had with a world leader? Maybe we should send the Queen over to give him some leadership tips as she's seen plenty of world leaders come and go over the years On a serious note, I'm genuinely worried about this new political direction for the States. What may seem a long way a way and humorous over here, could have far reaching consequences when you consider Americas position in the world. Like it or loathe it, we live in a global economy, financial services which is a major portion of our economy like stability. Unfortunately with Brexit and now the US soap opera, financial stability seems a long way a way. The one thing for sure, it's going to be an eventful 2017 and beyond... Customer Service - thoughts?

“recruiters for example , I'd love to know the ratio of recruiters and agencies for trades compared to how many actual tradesman there are out there .... I reckon us tradesman may be outnumbered by now”
It's a fair point, stats and figures are manipulated by anyone and everyone to serve a purpose and prove a point, so specifics can sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt. But the general sentiment is normally right. Judging on the luck I've had trying to get a roofer, I don't think there are any tradesmen left (at least in Stratford Train Service Disruption Chaos 9th January 2017 11:19 AM Happy Monday Londoners! Sounds like total chaos this morning as the Tubes go on strike again.

“First one appears to be Om Puri. Bollywood actor and star of East is East.”
I did think who? Then googled him before the penny dropped. He was brilliant in East is East, with his "B****d kids" catch phrase. Saw him in another film where he opened an Indian Restaurant opposite a French one, "The Hundred-Foot Journey" with Helen Mirrem. It's a great Friday night film if you haven't seen it, where his son goes to work for the rival restaurant with lots of dark humour. Pyjamas in a supermarket 6th January 2017 11:44 AM Must admit to not spotting anyone shopping in PJ's, but it does make me smile when you see overly large folk (and that's coming form a chunky monkey) waddling around in trainers and tracksuits. Presumably because they can only wear clothes that expand with elastic. I'm sure it wasn't the target market sports direct were looking at, or maybe it was Sent Items Email 6th January 2017 11:41 AM
“I've downloaded it, and will be testing it and playing with it, to see exactly how it works. There's a video on their site (which I watched), and I think I quite like it actually! Although I'm not sure about certain features."
Be interested to hear what you think of it when you've had a good play. Pouring everything into one pot frightens me, although email is the curse of the modern world (even if we are guilty of sending it ...lets get some nice fresh air! 6th January 2017 11:38 AM Ahh starting 2017 off with a good dose of cynicism Mr Jan |
It seems every day the news throws up another incredible alleged fact about Mr Trump, or a famous Trump response splashed across the media.
