I read one article about healthcare recruitment last week and I had an entire day of adverts trying to get me to sign up to healthcare jobsites and get me to hire recruiters to solve all my recruitment problems. This week, I’ve been getting these adverts: And my phone’s browser is giving me these search suggestions before I even start typing: Now, to those fine chaps out there in the SIS, GCHQ and other places, if you’re monitoring my phone, would you kindly mind deleting your presence from my phone so I can go back to crappy medical adverts?

Bleep1673 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This could only happen in France. A man on a business trip goes back to a hotel room with a stranger, has sex, and dies of a heart attack. The French courts have decreed that because he was on a business trip his company are liable for an industrial accident, and will have to pay compensation to his family! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49662134 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It is well known that as one ages one shrinks. I used to be exactly 6ft tall. Today I was measured at the hospital and was found to be 5' 11". The worst thing is that with my weight I am even more under height than I should be. I still maintain that I am under tall for my weight. Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Rhino Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yesterday, after the storms, my wife and I left our house (which has a Town centre postcode) to walk along the canal. Due to a housing development, the canal has been reopened/extended. We walked the 1 mile to the new pub and had a couple of pints, sat overlooking the canal. On the way back, 3 deer ran out of the long grass and then hid in some more long grass. A nice walk in the sunshine. A nice pub, with great company. As well as the deer, we saw swans, ducks, two herons (one flying low to the water), kingfishers and plenty of rabbits. All this is just a 10min walk from the Town centre of a town with over 200000 people. I love my home town! 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Spent yesterday making 30+ gallons of apple juice that in 3 months or so will be 30+ gallons of cider, consequently I'm in all sorts of pain today, probably less pain than when we come to drink the cider but that's a different story.
