You know what really grinds my gears? The Gears Strike Back

As a trainee many years ago we had leave books.

You had a total at the top, and each entry, youd cancel down the days…

One if the trainees misplaced their leave book. So the admin staff produced another… rhen he found his original.

So over the course of the year, would get different staff to sign off a few days here, a few days there… a few days here…

… double leave!

GMG. Cows to market day.

It’s 10am. And I feel like I’ve already done a days work… but still have to do a days work for the other job.

Pesky portfolio careers!

Beef for Christmas dinner?

Is this something sort of jargon?

Is this the term you social workers use for issuing care proceedings?

I ignore this when im smashing steak for dinner. I quite want a pet highland cow

No, no, no!!! These ones are far too small - and we’re far too late for the Christmas plate; whilst lots would prefer to hang their beef for 21-28 days to bring out the flavour; i’m a fan of leaving it to mature for 45 days - get the enzymes properly doing their thing on the connective tissues and muscle fibres!! Om nom.

No. Quite literally taking the cows to the market!!! For sale for their new homes to bring them on! That way, we’ve not got to feed them over winter and it’ll give the pasture time to recover properly through to the Spring - when the class of 2025 will arrive! :wink:

In the words of Clint Eastwood in Magnum Force, ‘a man’s got to know his limitations’.

Well, I do now! :grimacing:

GMG: Royal Mail have managed to muck up their tracking system - again - On the day that I have a delivery due.

I feel like nobody involved with the national postal system in the UK actually knowns IT.

Been annoying me the last couple of days. On desktop it just doesn’t seem to work at all, but on mobile it works sporadically.

Just ask the sub-postmasters/mistresses about that.
