Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 7, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2020 We've just got a new customer in the US and one of their users has the forename "Treadway". When my colleague kept mentioning "Treadway", I thought she was talking about a location or a brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 A lad at my work is named Richard Blower. I'll bet school was fun for him, poor guy Speaking of school, I had two supply teachers who have to be mentioned. Mr. Toogood, and the absolute holy grail to a bunch of teenagers, Mr. Gay.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted February 8, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) I met Dennis Fist today. He claims he was a dentist who apparently lost it all by investing his savings in a start up tooth paste company, but one of the owners was sent down after a massive drugs bust. He’s planning to bounce back by opening up a library on wheels, “but only go around the Posh streets”. I really hope I see him again tomorrow.  Edit - Just found out it’s actually Dennis Pfist, and that whilst the shady investment was true, the library thing is just him talking bollocks. I’m hugely disappointed. Edited February 9, 2020 by Kaz Hayashi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
