Interesting poll from the Youey Govs.

Got an invite to an interview on Friday afternoon. No mention of a date or a time, just log in and pick a time on the candidate portal. Tried all weekend, but there is nowhere that has any information of the interview, the date or time. Email their HR department and explain and hear back at 12.30 today explaining the interviews are today, so one day notice, and the only slot left is 1.30pm, which I can't make at an hours notice. And employers wonder why they can't fill their fucking positions.

Sounds like a shit mid 00s indie band.

This has reminded me, and I think I even mentioned it on here, but I genuinely came up with the idea of walking football when I worked for a housing association and am also convinced that a manager sold the idea to Barclays, who then "invented" it. Solidarity with your mate, and I'll join him in small claims court if he wants

Didn't Marty at one point come back and was fired within a day? I want to say when Shawn ratted him out for being asleep backstage.

Correct. Or Arctic Monkeys.

Absolutely ridiculous goal for MK Dons today, about 40 seconds in.

GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY STEP-SIS!

Went to the source, both kids confirm they say 'gen zee'

I loved it, absolutely LOVED it when Jay-Z played two nights at Spurs and everyone thought they were so original by saying "we've got 99 problems but the pitch ain't one" WAHEEEEEEEEY, despite 4 million other people saying the same thing. Grump.

Belinda Carlisle was on a TOTP repeat last night and I forgot just what a tune this was, and also how fit she was.

Genuinely, are you ok? That's sad if you feel like that. I don't think much is to be taken seriously on here. If it annoys you, that's all that matters. It's definitely a stage name mate I don't see an issue with saying zee as it's predominantly the most used variation and that kind of term comes from over there, but then as I get older I don't care as much. A new girl at work says 'pacifically' and even that doesn't bother me anymore...much. Each to their own.

You wouldn't say "Oh I love Hard Knock Life by Jay Zed" would you?

Another incredible documentary from Eli Mengem and Copa 90 (if you haven't seen their World Cup vids, they are superb) on the end of last seasons Scottish Prem. Hearts fans, you may need some therapy again while watching this, I'm afraid. And have some footage of the greatest manager of all time.

Oscar, you deserve the world brother.

You know an article is going to be good when it starts off "A bus driver tried to sue her employer after being accused of a fart that smelt so foul it meant a colleague had to wash her uniform" https://metro.co.uk/2026/10/16/bus-drivers-farts-bad-colleague-needed-take-a-shower-29715627/amp/ How rank must that fart have been?

Can you programme it to fuck everything up? Or at least build in something that turns a random word into KWESH every time its applied? That's so shit man, sorry.

When I was made redundant they were still pushing that LGR would be a good thing (I largely agree actually) because that means more opportunities, which given that a whole team of us were being binned because of costs, seemed a bit rum.

I don't think that's unique, and we can see over the last few pages that it's happening in every sector. It's mad innit? My new manager was so fucking rude to me yesterday I had to call her out on it in front of other people, which is something I very much would not choose to do, but I'd had enough. Let's all play the US power ball lottery or whatever it is like @deathrey said.

Actually saw about 10 minutes of Corrie last week and it was just David Platt and this ridiculously good looking woman (Olivia Frances Brown) who was trying to seduce him while his wife was away somewhere, which is just completely unbelievable. Corrie was always funny, and when I did watch both, I much preferred it.

Tonight took the absolute mick though in terms of bleakness. I can't believe Kat and Alfie are still together to be honest.

It's always been depressing, and I have no idea why I watched it as I haven't for years, but tonight's episode of Eastenders is genuinely one of the bleakest I've ever seen. Does anyone still watch this regularly? It's like torture.

I think this is being made law soon, that employers have to state the salary and not just it being "competitive" which is a small start.

James Blunts real name is James Blount. That's all.

He was on The One Show with Lee Mack last week, which is peak British TV isn't it? I don't make a habit of watching but left it on and he started banging on about what an interesting job they'd done with the Matchbox "IP" and it was very bizarre.
