      Can you learn how to have conversations in real life, If you are one of those people who genuinely will tell a complete stranger (whilst completely sober) to go f*** themselves) in a pub full of people, when you feel Bothered. I did this a week ago.

  2. I'm just going to say Happy Dexmas to everyone.

      It's just that I've got to do something this year. I went to the Autosport show and was slightly disappointed. I did fancy going to a btcc race, but it doesn't sound practical or enjoyable to actually travel to a track.

      I passed that milestone a long way back! No worries just stay clear of the cakes..

      I enjoyed it, the route started on the canal by shrub hill station, then later on it switched to road and it only took me an hour. I got to droitwich and asked some helpful kids where the train station was and within 5 minutes was on a train to my old haunt, Kidderminster

      I don't know what browser you're using, but there should be a setting under 'view' (in Firefox it's in the toolbar along the top) then 'Zoom' then 'Reset'

      It was the Breast cancer debate, Which should be discussed, no argument from me. Cancer was on the news, I turned it off and came onto the forum and suddenly It's Breast cancer month on here. My mom died in october 2000 from another form. This year Monday 1st. Like every year our birthdays all 3 happen on the same day, except the days we were actually born on. Monday. Coincedence.

  18. You can tell when you're getting old, because you start saying "They don't make films like they used to" and "What's all this grunting business, A song should have a tune!" I'm lucky it hasn't happened to me yet.

      It's funny because at the cinema the other night, there was an advert for A Tablet about a kid giving a presentation.I thought that's Me. The kid looked up a 'How to' and got on with it. What a little Smartass I thought, Definitely not me.

  22. They want us to have photographs on our id badges at work now, How do stop them from using the photos for other purposes. Or get out. of having it taken in the first place?

    1. vodkafan

      vodkafan

      Hmm, don't see this as a real big deal to be honest dex? I have had my photo taken for my id badge for the last 10 years. Tbh nobody looks like their photo anyway we always laugh about it

    2. bobblybear

      bobblybear

      We've had id badges with our photos on it for ages. I guess you just have to have trust in the company you work for.

    3. ian

      ian

      They will say it's for security purposes, so it will be virtually impossible to avoid. If you have a union rep, I would speak to them. It may be possibl;e to get some assurances that the photos won't be used for other purposes.

  23. Asking which platform? When there's only 1. doh

    1. Chrissy

      It's always Platform 9 and 3/4! : D

      When I browse the site on my mobile, it's in the mobile version but somewhere on the page there's a link to the full version. Are you saying your mobile doesn't load the full version properly?
