Bell Cheeses at work
- Thread starter Iggle Piggle
- Start date
You hope.
Today is practically Bell Cheese at Work Day.........
All of those who spend the whole time completely disinterested in football now starting, or butting into, conversations about it, our chances in the next round (in one case this morning someone saying we’ll end up losing to Germany [emoji23][emoji23]), whether Southgate got his tactics right etc etc etc
The only bright point in all this is that it’s delaying the annual ‘two weeks of sport discussion’ that kicks off from the habitually disinterested when Wimbledon starts. They can all **** off as well.

Of course, right now is peak season, for the office morons with no usual interest in football, who suddenly want to talk all about it to you.
"That was great, wasn't it? Sooooo nerve wracking"
Go and boil your head.

I won't engage in any football conversion at work unless the person regularly attends games or plays to at least county level.

Conversion - visions of you laying on hands on any Cricket or Rugby fans in the office and converting them to the true blue and white faith who worship in the Tony's temple in the Downs.Arrggh! Yes! Yes! Yes! I've just had to leave the office for a bit as two people who admit they aren't interested in football and don't follow a team have just had a row about the referee and refereeing in general. That was after lots of comments from other non-football fans about our performance and tactics. ("Why didn't we attack more? Why don't they play more forwards? I thought we'd beat Colombia easily as they're not one of the best teams are they?") I have heard more complete, total and utter bollocks being spoken here this morning than I have ever heard in my life. ****'s sake just shut up you ****ing pig-ignorant *****.
Good plan. I’ve adopted a kind of ‘STH only’ rule now (even this doesn’t work that well with Arsenal, they still seem clueless [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23])

Just as irritating are the "Oh was there a game on? Angelique and I watched a super doc on Renaissance artists and their turmoils."
You watched it really.

Haha, bloody auto correct!
We had a very long and carefully thought out email from one of the managing directors a couple of weeks ago, who clearly had no interest in football. It was insisting that we need to keep working through the world cup but that allowances would be made should England progress through the group stages then have any games during office hours. Bit of a waste of time really given that all games would be at evenings or weekends whether they finished first or second in the group.

Not exactly at work, but.........
Those people who use their phones through car speakers, via Bluetooth, especially when they're outside their homes.
So bloody loud!!
They sound like wannabee town criers, can't they just talk normally on the phone instead?
No, in the same way they can't have normal number plates like most of us, can't have normal rear car windows you can see through ( not all of them can be Jay-Z ??), can't have normal badges that indicate the engine size and model on their BMW or Mercedes, can't have a normal size car and instead opt for one three sizes bigger - even though their most difficult driving challenge will be a McDonalds drive-through/thru - and can't all play polo, even though the over-sized logo on their slightly undersized ( for their BMI) polo shirt would indicate otherwise.... And most of them seem to parade on the A410 creating their own traffic jam, which they can then phone home about.

Our Baskin Robbins Ice Cream outlet is the local traffic magnet where BMW X5 and X6s owned by people who can't park to save their lives and don't seem to be able to walk the length of themselves, park on the pavements and then wonder why there is a traffic jam when a Tesco delivery lorry for the Tesco Express situated exactly next door rocks up and the whole road is blocked and inaccessible to everyone, except traffic wardens on scooters who magically descend 5 minutes before parking restrictions end. Karma.
Glad you added the A410 bit, otherwise that’s exactly me (although probably without the McDonald’s)

You should post more frequently.
Your anger, sarcasm and utter contempt for pricks is perfect for this place. Well done.

Thanks, although it is intended as a simple observation of events unfolding outside the window when working for home in a typical dreary outer London suburb, or walking down the street (a concept unfamiliar to most local residents and - multiple- car owners) to the Post Office and/or London Overground station.
Can only properly de-stress when back in the central London office where barista coffee and fruit is free, as is Meantime Lager and Pale Ale after 5 pm or yoga/Broga or Boxercise on the roof terrace

Where can I download an application, could they be persuaded to do Harvey's Best and Seasonal Ales after 17:00

Number plates that are clearly personalised but for whom the significance is meaningless unless you are the owner or close relative gets me. Spend the money on something useful.
