Off topic, but talking of Partridge

Someone on here recommended the Instagram account of a guy who plays dance music in his house whilst wearing a dressing gown. He showed up on my feed, I followed, and to my utter joy he’s a mini partridge 

Hopefully this link works, this is one of my favourite reels, pure Partridge

I’ve only ever had tiny gardens so never really noticed birds before let alone thought about them for any length.

When Dad died my step Mum told me the thing about robins - “when a robin appears a lost loved one is near”. Every time I see her she tells me about the robin (my Dad) following her around the garden etc. I’ve always thought it was her way of dealing with things and found it quite endearing

I moved house yesterday to a place with a conservatory and big garden. After the removals men left I sat down looking out to the garden. Two minutes later a robin lands on the tree a few metres in front of me, right in my eye line. I’ve honestly never felt so comforted in my life and I could easily cry my eyes out as I type this. I completely understand it now.

So I am now the newest member of the lovely birds club  

Sky now have a Martial Arts film channel. Got Police Story 1, 2 and 3 recorded so it’s gonna be a Jackie Chan themed weekend I reckon 

That’s fantastic!!

I watched via a guy on Twitter called Luchablog. He had a Google drive with loads of lucha on but he’s had to close it down 😥

I'm sat in a Denny's somewhere in AZ, but...

Use a combination of Datedif (or Datediff - one is for VBA) and Today(), with their DOB.

For the DOB though you'll have to spoof the year portion - so =DATE(2024, MID(A1, 4,2),  LEFT(A1,2)

Basically something like

=DATEDIF(DATE(2024, MID(A1, 4, 2, LEFT(A1, 2)), TODAY(), "d")

Depends on the format of the date of course.

You can then use this in conditional formatting 

Probably 🧐

Edit - or filters 🤓

What the fuck is up Denny’s!

Thanks for that, you lost me at combination but I really appreciate the time and effort to do that mate

Wouldn't it be easier to put those in an outlook calendar and then adjust the alert time period?

I started with that but because of the staff turnover I was constantly messing about with the calendar

I've just done it with a filter for the week — put in the dates, formatted with just day and month, and then filter the sheet, and filter the date column by label > this week.

This worked great, thanks!

Are there any Excel gurus here?

Basically I have a spreadsheet with staff names and their date of birth. I want to be able to open this spreadsheet on a Monday morning and it highlight the data in some way to say which staff have a birthday in the next 7 days. I'm guessing conditional formatting is the way forward but I can't work it out!

Rhea's theme music is fucking awful as well and I think less of her that she likes that band. 

Text from my mate last night presented without comment 

I thought it was a fantastic show to be honest. Other than the Uso dud, which really was terrible, every match delivered for me. Absolutely loved the ladder match, Gunther vs Sami and the main event.

Rock looked soooo much better than I thought. I was imagining him sweating bullets and gassing big time but I thought he was great. Bit slow, as Ian on Twitter said “hes moving like Tony Khan when there’s a decision to be made”.

Looking forward to tonight, hoping for a batshit main event with Cody coming out on top. And I can’t recommend watching it alongside Ian’s live tweeting enough, he’s funny as fuck

 Shayna Baszler got folded up like an accordion earlier. Was quite a good match, pretty surreal to see her there and the lovely Zoey Stark was there with her

Triller TV+ has been putting a load of old TNA stuff up recently too

Remembered one earlier that isn’t too bad but is wrestling related!

In the mid 2000s I was big into BJPW and after trading for a few years I ended up with almost a full collection of shows that I worked through slowly

At work we had a really nice lady from Hong Kong and one day we were chatting about languages. I don’t know how we got on to it but for some reason I wanted to test her to see if she could read Japanese. I took a BJPW disc into work and asked her to translate. Her face immediately dropped and she said something like “it says death with fire weapon”, I can’t remember exactly. Anyway it clicked straight away what a pleb I was for not thinking and showing her that. From that moment on she must of thought I was a right weirdo and that’s fair I guess 

Cheers Baz and I’m sure Mumzie is up there sorting the clocks out too. Hope you’re well

I watched that video earlier thinking they were expecting the bridge to fall, which is why they were filming it. Somehow didn’t spot the massive boat in shot. But I’ve just seen a longer video where you can see the boat hitting it and it falling straight away. Absolutely terrifying!

I add a book to my library wish list. Get an email to say it’s ready. Walk to the library to pick book up. Bring the book home and put it on my bedside table. Get an email three weeks later to say the book is due back. Walk the book back to the library. Not a single page read 

Late to the party but I’ve finally got round to getting some pictures of trucks!

Here’s my Grandad with one of his tippers

My Dads first truck parked in his driveway!

And here’s the old man in his last truck

He loved the mixer, even better when Hanson’s IT system was shite and they constantly overpaid all the drivers.

That is insane!!! @JNLister are there any good YouTube channels for some old AJW?

I think I’ve posted this one before but this moment still keeps me up at night.

When my old Finance Director was leaving the office to go to his fathers funeral my mind was elsewhere and I said “Have fun!” I honestly thought I was going to have to leave, I felt absolutely rotten. 

He had an accent at the start which I presumed was a bit of cover. When the guns come out he reverts back to Cockney 

It really was a great time and I hope we get multiple sequels, spin off series and a documentary crew following Adam Clay opening a market stall selling honey 

On the other hand I couldn’t stand Bottoms and the best part of it was when it ended. Heard nothing but good things about it so clearly I’m in the minority, but man I thought it was shite

Yeah thank you so much for this Pat. I really wanted to get into Lucha but didn’t think there was any other interest on the board, glad I’m wrong! I’ll start checking it out. I have watched a little bit of CMLL recently (they are drawing big crowds at Arena Mexico) but I haven’t seen any AAA at all

If you can recommend five or so matches from the last few years I’d welcome it very much!

I went to Mexico in 2011 and the hotel put Triplemania on a TV in the bar for me. I can’t remember much of it apart from La Parka had a class match and RVD was in the main event. I had a La Parka mask with me but was too shy to wear it. Here I am with it from last year at a local Indy! It cost way too much money but I love it (I’m on the left)

I've been slowly working through the trophies on Far Cry 6 recently. I'm now on to the Vaas Insanity dlc which is pretty good fun

Last night I had finished one of the quests and was stood on a cliff edge listening to some dialogue. I was just passing time and ran to the edge of the cliff, pretending I was going to run off it but jumped back at the last minute. Couldn't believe it when Vaas (who i'm controlling) sarcastically said "Good one" as I jumped back! I love that the developers put such a unique thing in the game

I realllllllllly loved this film, can’t recommend it enough. One of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen

Well I'm already behind, but I enjoy writing a few notes about the wrestling I watch so I will keep going

February, March and April are very busy for me so I won't be able to watch as much as I would like! Also, no deathmatch corner this month unfortunately, I just haven't had a chance to see any and GCW has been a bit tame. Anyway, here is my February round up -

My top 10 of February 2024

My top 10 of 2024 so far

Bump of the month 

Looking ahead to March

I hope you all enjoyed some wrestling in Feb. I would be interested to know if you saw the Ospreay vs Oku match from Rev Pro as i've heard that was absolutely fantastic

Yeah there has to be more to the story. I can tell you from experience that the IT guys really don’t give two shits about you or what you get up to and actually want to avoid any human interaction at all costs

Yeah, companies thrive on this. As @chokeout says send a list of your tasks to whoever you report to and ask them to prioritise the list. Even better if you can put a timescale on the tasks (over egg it obviously!)

Don’t forget that’s it’s extremely unlikely anyone above you will care about this and remember it in the future. I’ve been in companies where people have worked their balls off in hope of recognition / promotion etc and have been made redundant a year later
