Talking of fish... I was reading this morning that Police shut down a Kuwaiti store because staff stuck googly eyes on the fish to make them look fresh.. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Commerce closed the fish shop after it put 'fake lenses' on fish to make them look fresher, the newspaper in Kuwait added. Social media users quickly mocked the shop owner's cheeky bid to get away with selling old fish with a series of hilarious memes that went viral. To get in on the joke, a fish company in Kuwait announced it was selling 'fish without cosmetics', alongside a picture of a fish and a selection of different coloured contact lenses. Matthew Dalby said on Twitter: 'Never judge the freshness of fish by the googliness of their eyes.' LMAO... Let's be honest, some things are just so bizarre that they do crack you up..

Nothing beats knocking together your own concoction over a camp fire or stove... bread on the end of a stick for toast etc... All kinds in one pot, bits of bacon, peas, beans etc.. stir till hot then eat...

When I was younger I never got the attraction of fishing.. sounded very boring but now I am older and wiser I greatly see the merits and attraction of getting the hell out for some time by yourself or with a mate outside camping for a few nights and a few beers and all that heavenly peace and quiet.. We have a bloke working in one of our departments next to us and he loves it, always showing me photos of what he has caught and always rubbing his hands together with anticipation at the end of our shift because he is off somewhere for a few days..

It's all that juicy Northern meat we feed them mate....

It was just called the 65 back then when I used to catch it... Just outside the old White Hart pub in Chessy, the missus used to live in the road opposite and I lived in Surbiton at the time.. you had both the 65 and 71 and the 65 used to go from the zoo all the way through to Richmond.. back then though I think the last bus back used to be about 12:10 and if you missed it then tough luck you would be walking home... I used to see my missus about 4 times a week back then and if I missed the bus I might get back about 1:15am and had to be up each day at 4:30am.. I used to be cream crackered come the weekend.. Love is a test and no mistake..

That reminds me of when I used to bring the other half home and had to bus back each night, You would stand waiting and waiting and thinking " If I had started walking I could of been home in the time it's taken the bus to get here" and on the night you decide to do that the bloody bus comes along when you are halfway between stops...

You are not alone....

You seem to have some anti Chelsea agenda today for some reason... very strange behaviour

If I get a recommendation or Reference along those lines it goes straight in the bin...

Did you not take a bit of time out then after hurting yourself... ??

I never missed a days work mate.... And I still turned up for work on time.....

Takes the piss... So much for the club interacting with the fans... As soon as it gets a bit tough they are off like a shot hiding away somewhere..

When you phoned in sick did you do the sick voice that goes with it??? One of the most enjoyable things ever is taking a phone call from someone who is blowing out on some fake illness or injury and they create this soft fake phone voice to make it sound like they are on deaths door or something... I let them tell me whats wrong as they explain they hurt their leg or knocked their arm or something and then I ask them what's wrong with their voice??? You normally get a bit of a silent pause from them while they process that in their head before saying.. "nothing" and suddenly their voice is back to normal...

I follow the Womens game... They play some pretty decent stuff to be honest... Women have been playing football for ages throughout history only they did not get the same type of coverage it enjoys these days obviously. not been without it's controversies along the way... In 2004 Sepp ( silly old corrupt cunt ) Blatter suggested that "women should wear tighter shorts and low cut shirts" to create a better "female aesthetic" to try and attract more male fans... And in 2008 the Norwegian Female team FC de Rakt swapped their old kit for short skirts and tighter tops... which was then promptly vetoed by the Dutch Football Association only to be reversed when it turned out the ladies were wearing hot pants under the skirts and technically complied with the rules... The team made the request for the change themselves... 21-year-old team captain Rinske Temming said: In 1921 Womens football suffered a set back in England when they banned it for being "distasteful" and would not allow games to be played on Association grounds anymore so they formed the English Ladies Football Association and played the games on rugby grounds instead..

So it was as bad as it looked then... shame, he will probably be out for longer waiting to be back to full fitness and that's if all goes well...

I don't scoop it with my palm, just use it to hold the bits I am picking up.. but you are right, only takes one daft incident to realize how dangerous it is..

If a glass or something gets smashed in our house I go straight in with palm open picking up as many bits as I can because of Leelah and the Dog and because there is never a pan and brush when you need one... Toast??? how did that come about?

You didn't go for the hero hand and finger clean up did you??? always ends badly that one..

I bet you are like those people I bump into in the canteen who always say "Are you here again" conveniently forgetting that they must be in there an equal amount of time if they make an observation like that... Sounds a bit shit and probably a bit painful too unless you took any special medication with you just in case... How did that happen then??

Not a full English then is it... It's a partial English

We have the same problem due to the shift patterns... each year the 'end of year party' because we are not allowed to call it the 'Xmas party' anymore falls on one shift or the other an for the last 2 years it's fallen kindly for the other shift which means our shift get all the crap.. It does not help that when they have this party they give the whole night shift the night off and we have to try and get 24 hours of work fitting into 12 hours on days.. they worked so fucking hard last year it was joke trying to squeeze all that in.. and muggins here was still there at 9pm waiting for the last lorry to turn up, there was only me and security on site... I should have robbed the gaf and split the proceeds with the security bloke... Sometimes it's question of having to do it rather than always wanting to do it... The amount of times I thought about having a day off or getting home a bit earlier was untold, you get tired after a while of the slog and need a bit of time away from the grind but when you need to be keeping on top of the bills and what not you tend to drive on and push through it for the greater good...

Firstly sorry to hear about that mate, I was not aware of that... secondly I am only playing with you.. Everyone moans about their job.. just in one of them moods today I guess.. forgive me, it all probably sounded a bit overly harsh My son manages to work part time hours and gets away with it and good luck to him.. wish I could have done that but then like you he has no serious commitments to anything and you are right, too much work and not enough play makes for a dull life.. In a lot of ways it's not worth slogging your guts out in a dead end unappreciated job.. It's only money at the end of the day, if you wake up in the morning and you are not looking forward to work then it's time to move on and find something else.. When you are older and you look back on your working time, the hours and the graft you put in over the years it does make you wonder... I don't regret it on one hand as it taught me a lot about myself... How far I could push myself when needed all to put some food on the table and clothes on the kids backs, In my early years I did all sorts from building sites to communications and put the hours in on every one them and although it was a different time with different rules the effort put in still remains the same... I don't talk about work or how my day was when I get home anymore at the end of the day.. Once it's over as far as I am concerned that is a closed book...

Weird to hear people complain about doing a bit of overtime... I mean in the grand scheme of things putting in a bit extra for your job is sometimes part and parcel of working... If the job sucks in other respects then it's time to move on obviously but I see and hear this type of thing a lot from younger people where they believe that they should only work the exact amount of minutes the company pays them for and not a second more... I have someone I work with who keeps getting passed over for promotion because he thinks it's his right as he has been there a long time, well it doesn't work like that.. I keep telling him, he has the skills but lacks the dedication and effort to use them wisely... He expects everything to fall in his lap without having to make any effort at all. I hear it a lot from my Daughters boyfriend as well who moans and groans pretty much all the time about getting home a bit later from his job and yet claims he wants to progress in the company? He can't have it both ways... either you show some dedication to the job or you don't and either way if I am not the one doing it then obviously it's no skin off my nose which one he picks but he needs to stop complaining... Such a huge difference in what I used to put in when I was younger and what younger people think is hard these days... When I moved off of nights when I used to work at Safeway's back in the day my hours changed a lot.. I was getting up at 4.30am each morning to get to work for 6am then I would still be there at 10pm sorting out the night crew and roll home at around 11:15pm each night much to my other half's disappointment... I did them hours for 3 years!!! so as you can imagine I find it laughable when people moan about staying 15 minutes or having to go in a bit earlier or stay a bit later... I appreciate that times are different now and maybe the working mentality has changed and don't get me wrong I don't believe that people should be doing excessive hours, When I was doing all them hours it meant I missed out on the kids growing up during that time but then we needed the money and it was part of the job responsibility when I got promoted.. If I could do it all again though I will admit I would cull those hours right back so I had more family time it's my only regret really but then I had kids and not being around to help out sometimes made me feel a bit bad but the Mrs and me always talked about any promotions or positions before I took them so we always walked into it eyes wide open so to speak... Modern youth and young adults need to toughen up a bit... I laugh in the face of your distress..
