It's not bad. As long as you keep away from the 'dodgy' areas, you'll be fine.
You can tell you're in a dodgy area by the locals sacrificing a small hatchback to the god of Buckfast (through Cremation obviously), while wearing their tribal shell suits and burberry.
Told the newish lad that if he wants us to check/help with something he should probably say "can you look at this" rather than just "come here". Felt kinda bad after, but it was rubbing me the wrong way. I'm not that surprised, his dad works for us as manager doing mostly bugger all and he talks in a similar way

I live in Paisley... and I haven't been stabbed yet.
To be fair I moved from Grimsby so maybe it's an upgrade.

Maybe it's like Morris Marinas on old Top Gear.
If you have a knife attached to your chest, you can't be stabbed since there's one already there!
[sp]Although when they had a Marina with a piano already on top of it, another fell onto it anyway[/sp]
[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51990922]I have a feeling that all the work that was handed to me over the last weeks was just piled up shit that my boss couldn't be arsed to do until we stepped in
Now there isn't any meaningful work to do anymore. I'm just sitting here shitposting on Facepunch and Discord. Aside from occasionally selling printer credit to the students here I have jack shit to do.[/QUOTE]

At my old job we sometimes had weeks were nothing happened and other weeks where we were completely floored and putting in extra hours because our boss didn't understand how to manage workflow.
[QUOTE=Rudevinny;51991154]I'll consider your offer. But first, you must answer me these questions three.
1. Are you allergic to acorns?
2. How many acorns can you eat?
3. Are you a woman? Because I like that in a man[/QUOTE]

I'm calling the police.
Guys, is it safe to come out yet? I'm scared.
i will simply bury myself in the ground and become disguised as an innocent sapling
I'm covering my table legs in retaliation. Ban all TV and films for the sake of the children.
ban children, it's the only way to preserve their INNOCENCE

I think its safe now, i think they've gone
On a different note my car is nearing its 1000 mile birthday i feel bad that its taken me almost 4 months to do it though, guess living less than 8 minutes from my work does that

Healthy
Could you not just walk to work
What's the point having a car if you live that close?
I live quite close to work, about 5-10 minutes to drive depending on the traffic.
I could walk it in like 20-30 minutes but using my car means I can go out for lunch and go to pick up my gf from the train station etc
also fuck rain
Well it gets used for more than just driving to work, mainly at weekends for town and stuff, saves me from depending on other people to get around,
Planning on getting more motorway driving done though, only really been on it twice so far, once long distance m6 to lakes and the other just been broughton to brockholes
I have a licence but have never had my own car

My drive to the station is only 10 minutes but would take an hour and 10 minutes to walk. You go a long way in 10 minutes in the car!
If you were going 30mph, thats 5 miles in 10 minutes.
To walk that would take about 2 hours.
Yeah probably should have said it was 8 minutes by car, 15 by bike (which i used to do), and 25 walking (i think, been a while)
[QUOTE=Kiwi;51995340]It takes me 48 minutes to get to work from where I live by train.
It would take me an hour by car.
Fuck traffic.[/QUOTE]
