What has made you chuckle this week?

[Bimble]

For me it was watching the neighbours cat go into "guard dog" mode when a stranger wandered down the cul-de-sac ... head forward, ears back, tail raised, shoulders arched, all bushy and mean looking.

Had me in stitches, especially as the "perp" was completely unfazed by the cat's laser-like menacing stare.

What's made you smile or chuckle this week?

My youngest lad, hiding around the corner while drving his remote control car repeatedly into his Sister's bedroom door. Then zooming away to avoid her fits of rage.

The number of electric bikes on Ebay that 'just need new battery and charger'.
So, that's a bike you're selling then? And a rubbish one at that.

A car overtaking me at speed over a newly top dressed road surface - it then hit the mother lode of loose stuff 100 yards down the road with a very pleasing eruption of stone on metal noise.

[QUOTE 4887150, member: 76"]Oh I can so relate to that! I used to work for a company where your appraisal got you an ultimate score of 1-5. 1 was very poor, 5 was a flyer. At the end of the appraisal your score was then 'loaded' with a flexibilty score. This was based on your willingness or ability to relocate to carry out your job.

3 years on the trot I scored 4.8, which was then loaded with the flexibility score. I did not want to move from Cheddar to High Wycombe or Antwerp, so my score plummeted to 3.0. Utter f'cking waste of 3 hours of my life for 3 consecutive years as we all knew what was going to happen at the end of the process![/QUOTE]

Exactly that..
Even tho this is my work to retirement job ..ahh well a lot seems to have gone wrong in the work place while I spent 30 odd years being self employed.

We have them but our managers don't pay any attention to them so I never fill in the final paper that should be signed by two managers. I do a bear minimum for the meeting, then have the appraisal and don't bother with the rest. There is no point. I've not been pulled up about it in the last 6 years.

I'm going to have to wait until this evening to play it, but I suspect that Behold the Kickmen is going to make me laugh. A lot. The Twitter build up has already been very funny.

I know I shouldn't but this story made me laugh. A guy who claims he couldn't walk more than 50m climbed Kilimanjaro.

A few bits of Jane Austen 'juvenilia' quoted by Hilary Mantel:

A car overtaking me too fast only to round the corner in front of me and come across a police camera van.

If only.
Our appraisal is a sit with manager and go through everything...no escape..

He is very happy I joined the firm as I'm used to pressure and I just manage myself..
It's CP so it's a must do for all staff minions
