Redundancy
Posted Aug 4, 2009
My boss has told us that we'll all have to apply for our jobs as we are undergoing a restructure. I've decided that I'm not going to apply so I'm looking around for redeployment or a new job.
Any suggestions?

Speak clearer Mrs Vestie!

My wife said to me while we were in the garden, "Our neighbour's an eejit."
"That's a bit harsh! What have they done?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You just said that our neighbour was an eejit."
"Wash your ears out. I said our neighbour's in Egypt!"

We don't take that here
Posted Jul 23, 2009
A work colleague told me that her daughter had a bit of a problem on holiday.
Before she set off to Croatia she went to the foreign exchange counter in the Post Office and asked them to change Sterling (GBP) into Croatian currency.
The lady behind the counter did the calculation based on the currency conversion rate, put the money into an envelope and handed it over in return for the pounds.
On holiday the young woman got her money envelope out to pay for her first journey on public transport to be told, "That's Czech money. We don't take that here."
In a panic she phoned home and my friend told her to calm down and that they would get money to her. They told her to put all of the money back in the envelope and not to touch it.
Cutting a long story short when she got home safely she went back to the post office and they changed the money back without query and gave her the number of the complaints office.
She phoned up and negotiated a £50 compensation payment for all of the running around she had to do to and for the money transfer.

I've got swine flu

I may not be the only person on here to have it but I want to claim sympathy before it becomes too trendy.
So far it's not as bad as Man Flu... yet.

I'm going to be 10 on 13 July
Posted Jul 3, 2009
I just looked back to my first entry on Hootoo. I may have been lurking before that but my first recorded entry in a conversation was 13 July 1999.
I'm going to be 10! Do I get a gold watch or anything?
