Very glad to hear they're okay and no life-threatening injuries for any. Considering the speed and impact of the crash its a miracle no one has such injuries.

The wife always picks beautiful flowers but seeing she worked in a florist as a manager years ago I can understand why, but I am thinking about buying some artists paints and brushes and paint a picture of these below, that was one of strongest subjects when at school and was given a chance to go to an art college but turned it down as our old man had left home at that time and I had to stay and get a job and look after my mum, wee sister and brother who was handicapped.

That's a good way to fend off the pursuit @Dr. Gonzoand does not put his nose out of joint but be sure to not um and ah about it or he might see this as an opportunity to keep coming back and trying to put pressure on you to buckle.. be nice about it but firm..

Old school coercion through use of managerial position. It still surprises me how many managers masquerading as leaders still do this. There’s a great way of saying no under pressure and that’s simply to say “You know what, that does sound interesting, but it’s not for me right now but I appreciate you asking” and your follow up for when you get pushed is “Like I said, it’s not for me right now but I’m sure someone else will be better placed to take you up on it”.

On the new one I’ve crashed into every place I’ve ever lived. It’s kind of scary though how accurately they’ve made the world

@nudge .... BOOOOOOOOOOO!

I love the snow and cold, the best experience I have had in my life was a skiing exercise in Bavaria in my army days, we were working with the RAF where rhey would drop recruits by parachute into the snow below and they had to escape to a certain point, it was called 'Avoid or Capture'. A few managed to escape or avoid capture and the ones we caught we had to blindfold them then march then into a barn and make them stand against the barn wall and not say a word, if they did we would hit them with our rifle butts, not a big hit but a nudge and they had to wait to be interogated, all part of their training to join the RAF. There was us all rugged up to the high heavens and they were standing there shivering their bollocks off as we took their jackets and scarves off them.

Invest in a restaurant? A new one? Fuck no. You'll most likely lose your money. Tell your boss he doesn't pay you enough for you to be investing in anything. Worth a try

You know what’s weird. Being in a position where you’re interviewing someone for a position you think is easy to fill and you don’t understand how much they want it. Makes you appreciate life and the importance of a simple job. I had a woman in her 50’s cry yesterday. Age is nothing to do with it, it just made me sympathise with her even more. After I calmed her nerves down she smashed it… and I recommended HR to take her on. Still adjusting to making those kind of decisions. Work/life is great at the moment.

I did that and now working 3 days a week for the rest of the year in a brand new year level for me. Only thing is to manage our finances well enough that this part time life works out alright with our mortgage etc. should be if I stop buying dildos.

Honestly, it's best to avoid any situation when someone comes to you with an investment opportunity. The best investments in life are yourself and the investments you can research yourself.

@Eco this one's another great documentary.

Reckon Villa are a dark horse for Europe this season.

Very sad to hear RIP.

Exactly that. State your position and do not deviate. This is a good book too if you're interested in dealing with situations where you have to negotiate anything
