Someone at work who seems to have a digital watch alarm go off at 12pm each day.
For starters who even wears a digital watch these days and even in the event people prefer them why do they need to set the alarm for 12pm to remind them it's lunchtime ffs?
I could understand if it was set early in the morning to wake up for something but just to remind you it's 12pm and it's lunchtime...They could even use the clock on the computer screen they've been looking at all morning why set an alarm so others have to hear it?

Could be to take medication, a friend of mine has the alarm on his phone to remind him to take his heart pills.MartinCAFC said:Someone at work who seems to have a digital watch alarm go off at 12pm each day.

I've seen a lot of people saying things like "Now Halloween is over, it's Christmas time!!"Fiiish said:Christmas adverts anytime before 1st December.
Haven't even finished the first week of November and literally every ad is Christmas.
Reckon Ofcom or the Advertising bods should force these people to donate £100,000 to a homeless charity for every early Christmas ad they run.
I remember when Christmas didn't get going until December 1st. How has it moved forward an entire month? Christmas becomes much less special when it's celebrated for 1/6 of the year.
There's somebody near me who already has huge motorised decorations outside their house.
I hope they feel embarrassed; I bet they don't.3 -

That George 'Johnny' Johnson the last surviving Dambuster has only just been awarded an MBE. It didn't take them long did it FFS!
Member of the British Empire? He and his like saved the bloody British Empire.
If he had cycled round in circles at an Olympics he would of been a Knight by now!

They've made a rod for their own back on the honours system, if they stop handing them out for sport, they are denigrating legitimate future achievements but every time they do they devalue the civilian and military honours, in my opinion.Greenie said:That George 'Johnny' Johnson the last surviving Dambuster has only just been awarded an MBE.

I think it should be a post career thing for sportspeople.4 -
They do seem to hand out honours like smarties to sports people these days. Winning an Olympic gold should be reward enough.6

This guy and charity workers are doing something for the country or to help other people.
Sportspeople are doing for themselves to get some kudos and glory, not sure why they need these gongs.1 -

I agree totally about the overdue award. I don't entirely agree with the problem with sportsmen or entertainers getting awards. Knighted businessmen and civil servants are also only doing their job, and they bring me no joy whatsoever. In fact quite the contrary - most of the fuckers annoy me. I have enjoyed (some of) the music of Sir Mick, Sir Cliff and Sir Paul, I have cheered and enjoyed the achievements of Sir Mo, Sir Chris and Sir Steve. Sir (Insert name of Whitehall bigwig) or Sir (Insert name of rich bloke) are far more deserving of scorn, IMHO...Greenie said:That George 'Johnny' Johnson the last surviving Dambuster has only just been awarded an MBE.

Perhaps more important than the knighthood itself is the reason the knighthood was awarded. One was awarded for killing Nazis; another was awarded for riding what is essentially a child's toy through the French countryside.7

When you synchronise your pisses with someone else, either at work or the pub. That awkward moment when you follow them into the khazi for the 3rd time in a day.3

Struggling to get up to speed with a new role at work. Manager is crazy busy and has barely spoken to me in my time here. Sends me an email with a massive 55 tab excel model that I've never seen before. Expects me to be able to update it including all assumptions and have a solid quality assured output in less than 2 days. No guidance no nothing.
I'm good at what I do, work knows that which is why I was given this role which is in a high profile and really busy area. I just need to be given some support to actually start up. Everything is new and I feel like I'm getting zero support.
Am I being unreasonable?3 -

The see through plastic film that covers almost all ready meals. Instructions usually say "remove sleeve & plastic film", but when you go to pull off the plastic film all it does it pull of the 1cm bit that overlaps the container, so you end up with little pieces of edge & the rest is still intact. You then have to piece the film and open it that way to remove the remaining 99% that's left.
wtf is that all about ?? If you want to make the product that way & have to remove the plastic before cooking, at least make it removable.21 -
