Vodafone: Be in the office 8 days a month or lose bonuses

bye bye - don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Vodafone support is terrible anyway - I'm unlucky enough having to deal with them, and they are brutal compared to Three when it comes to support

HCL's back-to-office plan: Come in three days a week, or forget about holidays

Re: Sigh

"I just spent a meal trying to define what a "pudding" was to a French colleague = a Yorkshire pudding is a pudding, and a blood sausage is a pudding and a chocolate cake is a pudding?"

Blood sausage is pudding

Chocolate cake is a cake, or dessert

I realise that in the UK, 'pudding' is the term for 'dessert'...

Re: Find a new joke

" he complained about how unfair it was that its not a jury trial.... when he turned down the offer of a jury trial in the first place......"

He didn't turn down the option of trial by jury, his stupid lawyers (you get the lawyers you deserve?) forgot to tick the 'trial by jury' box

Re: The amount of Anonymous Trumpists in this forum...

Yeah, what is that whole 'Electoral College' thing about anyway?

"Trump is crass, vulgar and makes stuff up on the spot (and then claims he was only joking) but he's clearly got his marbles still."

Eh...

he thought he ran against Obama “with Obama, we won an election that everyone said couldn’t be won.”

he thought Biden would lead USA into WW2 “we would be in World War II very quickly if we’re going to be relying on” Biden.

he confused Niki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, with regard to security on Jan 6th “Nikki Haley, you know they, do you know they destroyed all of the information, all of the evidence, everything, deleted and destroyed all of it. All of it, because of lots of things like Nikki Haley is in charge of security. We offered her 10,000 people, soldiers, National Guard, whatever they want. They turned it down. They don’t want to talk about that. These are very dishonest people,”

he thought E Jean Carrol was his dead ex-wife, when in court, he was shown a photo of him, his second wife, E Jean Carrol and her husband

Re: Why not do it later?

The sentences will run concurrently - not one after the other (sequentially?)

But isn't it because the USA is a Third World country? Well, according to the MAGA headjobs at any rate...

They need to be rounded up & sent to an actual Third World country and see what that actually entails

Running concurrently? Boo!

Man who nearly killed physical media returns with $60,000 vinyl turntable

Don't forget to seperate the floor that the turntable rests on from the rest of the house, with its own foundation!
