Aye, you always leave for a reason. It's very similar to relationships. As the years pass you remember certain things fondly but at the end of the day you can just have a wank in the shower over the time she gave you that mind-blowing rusty trombone and carry on with your life. Onwards and upwards. Never look back.8 points

It's probs that you're saved in their phone as "Bald cunt, serves weak tea in Marvel mugs", rather than the holiday thing.7 points

The DIVORCE move was the one where I had two offers. One for £5k over asking price, and one for £15k over asking price. The estate agent told the two parties to submit full and final bids. The £5k couple submitted an identical offer and the £15k couple upped theirs by a further £15k. Absolutely chinned themselves. Obviously I then had to give half of the fucker away to the ex anyway so there were no winners here, as it turned out.6 points

Are you in a rush to sell? If not then a cash buyer isn’t much of an advantage. £40k under asking is a bit of a piss take. It could be a brave opening bid or just someone chancing their hand in the hope of getting a bargain. I’d just flat out reject it and see if they follow up.5 points

So this morning I wake up and I've got a WhatsApp from an old colleague. Basically a company I left 6 years ago are asking if I would be interested in me going back as they're snowed under and need someone of my level. I left on decent terms with the gaffers, but I left because of a couple of things. One was that the fact they had got a lad of bairns in to do work that was above them and us senior lads had no time to train them. I am told that its a lot more balanced there now. The current company I am at, I have a tonne of respect for the main MD and gaffer, We get on really well, but engineers are dog shit managers on the whole There's a couple of issues in the office and since I started we have lost over 50% of the workforce. One guy left to set up on his own and took two of the lads, but others have left as they can't take it that certain things aren't resolved. I mentioned in a previous post that I am now at the stage I just cba. Come in do my hours and just don't get involved in the political shit. I try and bring on the younger lads, like the Bin Dipper but if they don't want to learn, that's on them, I am not losing a nights sleep over it. There's one absolute piss taker and he's rubbing people up the wrong way with his piss taking and in a small office that's causing issues. The offer to go back is v tempting. Its closer to home, the work they're doing is very interesting compared to some of the stuff I am working on now. They have expanded well. I met up with a few last month after I found out an ex colleague had passed and the social side of the company is miles better to what we have here Not that that's a deal breaker for me. But here we have had one night out this year and I organised it. The gaffers are just too blinkered to see that them making an effort of a pint or pizza or whatever out as a team would go a huge way to boosting morale. I feel I am punished here at the moment too. Because I can get work out quick (despite being on here ) I am given shit jobs with short turn around times. Where the ones who take their time get some real decent jobs. One lad is working on a job he's not suited to and it would be perfect for me, but because it's got a long turn around he's on it. We will end up making fuck all brass on that as a result. Would you go back? I have always said you leave somewhere for a reason. But meeting a mate a few months back, who's now on the main Director team there now was telling me how it's changed a lot and it sounded for the positive. Anyways, welcome to Friday, now lets get the butties in!5 points

I have, somewhat randomly, been interviewed by Dutch TV on all this, I may have encouraged them to use the term myself.4 points

In my experience people who say they are cash buyers are often liars, cunts or both. They say that to make you believe they have clout. Ignore that aspect completely .4 points

It’s a bit of fucking wood, if it’s supporting the ceiling then you’re already fucked. It’s a five minute job for anyone with half a brain. Which would of course rule you out.3 points

Knock it back. Don't give them a counter offer, they were taking the piss with the first offer and if your immediate response is to drop your asking price, they'll think they can keep taking the piss. Just keep saying no til they get to a figure you're prepared to accept.3 points

Brother in law is on holiday at the moment. I dropped him a message this morning asking how it was going. He replied with some pics of my nephews and saying it was decent 'but you know me, I had to complain' (He's not even my blood either So I asked why. 'They put us in a room with a sea view but it was ground floor' 'Did you pay for sea view?' 'No but thats not the point' 'Could you see the sea?' 'Yeh' 'So why complain' 'Well its better higher up'3 points

Just little things like when they reported the counter protest in Newcastle on the national news just before. And the only people interviewed they showed were two young Muslim men. FUCK RIGHT OFF. And I know that’s an editorial decision because bbc reporting it locally had loads of people from different backgrounds etc there. They’re a fucking disgrace3 points

I haven't seen it but I have noticed that the press coverage of the counter protests has been far less fervourous. I take it as a sign that a lot of these editors are struggling to adapt after the 5168 days of Tory rule that put them in their positions. They've either bought into or lost track of the lie they were selling. All for their own personal gain. Shower of spineless bootlicking grifters masquerading as journalists. Their problem right now is that they don't know whose boots to lick.2 points
