Give me some dialogue from your day

[Mad Doug Biker]

Last night

Me: "...So it was the 12th built out of 19"

Them: "No, it was the 11th.
092 - 110, it is number 103"

Me: "92 still existed too, count it!"


This is the level of intellect I have to deal with sometimes... 🤦‍♂️

"Please do not fasten your seat belts as this plane is still refuelling."

"... and it might catch fire, so you need to be able to disembark quickly!"

Yesterday.

Teams Meeting, about re-approving Uni Courses.

Me, "If you recruit students to target, then we are fine, if you don't the programme isn't viable. You've missed target by a mile the last two years and it's not going to improve" (Government Policy changes on International Students). The courses are vulnerable due to over reliance on International students. Bang, penny dropped with the group. I may have upset a lot of people, but I'm only telling it as it is. Now, either I am a genius, or totally thick, but how can you have three staff to teach about 20 students ?

"Is this the queue?" said to me by a woman in a pub in Edinburgh. I told her to just stand and the bar and wait lol.

On a fairly empty bus yesterday, A woman got on using her speakerphone and sat down with the speaker still running. The man across the aisle from me turned around and said, "Why don't you turn it up a bit more so we can all join in?"

The speakerphone was immediately turned off, and we travelled in peace for the rest of the journey.

You say that but I’ve noticed some pubs sometimes get queues to order. Not that often but seen it a few times. Think it’s a younger generational thing starting to creep in.

Young people these days, queuing politely to get their drinks...

Was talking about this with someone from work, they like the queues, I don't. I've ignored several queues at bars and just got served next as all the idiots are lined up.

Its a COVID hangover, when we weren't allowed inside except to buy a beer, something that has stayed with not just young people.

It’s not efficient as the bar is spread across and it causes pinch points for payment and makes it harder to get past.

I think the queue in larger pubs should be like it is in banks and in Primark. It prevents obnoxious people from barging in front
