What innuendos have you accidentally walked into? Are you a 1970s Carry On film character?

Naked f5 nimble fingered Thursday ahoy!
Aren't the word's 'There are currently 4 open questions' annoying?
Everyone make it across ok?
..........................................
EDIT - Regular QOTWers notice! There's a space for us to chat here. HLT, have you got those cushions from the other question for us to sit on? And any cake?

EDIT again... as this thread mounted to a mammoth 515 replies, and took an age to get anywhere, we all got frustrated and headed over to look at spakkas's length on page 20. Do come join us :)
EDIT and again...we're on p23 now under beckyjsbx's length this time
Edit Monday 16th - we're here now www.b3ta.com/questions/innuendo/post175030
Final edit - I know it was suggested that I update this post with each new place we were chatting, but really it's been non stop, and people do seem to have found us...

The first time my parents went away on holiday and left me on my own, I tried to make pizza from scratch, base and all. It went very, very badly.

petitions.pm.gov.uk/nodamnation/
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to update harassment laws to prohibit religious bullying aimed at children.
-The current laws on harassment are not sufficient to protect children from the sort of bullying that religious groups use every day to coerce children into obedience and belief. Threatening an adult with eternal torture may be distasteful but is not likely to result in psychological damage. This is not the case with children. The effects of religious bullying can be long-term and serious, from nightmares and depression to anxiety disorders and even suicide.
The fact that threats of damnation, torture and other extreme punishment are used routinely is clear evidence that existing laws are insufficient. We call on the Prime Minister to clarify the existing harassment laws by adding clauses outlawing any form of threat, supernatural or otherwise, aimed at children; and to provide guidance to the police and other authorities on the enforcement of these laws.

Just joined it, thanks. Ooh, but for coolness value, some of Shaun of the dead was filmed here in East finchley :)
POD: Last time my parents went on holiday when I was still living at home I was able to drive, so drove them to the airport, got back home and found 3 cases of coca cola in the garage that were left over from a party. Decided it was a good idea to drink all of it in one day and didn't sleep the whole week they were gone. Night time drives around Essex at 4am were quite fun as it's all country lanes at 70mph :)

In my defence, I was young and stupid and hopped up to the eyes on caffeine in a vauxhall nova of all things. Never hit anything, but was stopped for speeding going 33 in a 30 zone, drug and alcohol tested and that was enough to make me see the joys of staying in and watching tv instead ;)

He took me out in it. When he put the foot down, my eyes went out of focus, as I wasn't quite expecting it. By the time I'd recovered, we were doing 90 in 3rd and accelerating rapidly.

If you've not been in contact since January, you could try re-opening communication on a just-friends basis. Things may have cooled off by now. If things are still icy, keep your work-relationship and personal relationship separate. This is of course easier said than done.

I mean, I can imagine it being hard in a small company, but what about a big company,where people are based at different sites? There can't be a 'one size fits all' answer.
Where I work (5000+ staff), there are loads of couples and people are just expected to behave professionally, regardless of them.
When I was in a smaller company, the rule was 'you must inform management if you begin a relationship with someone of a different grade'
(, Fri 13 Jun 2008, 0:03, closed)
It will depend on what the company do, they're size, how spread out the employees are, and all that kind of rubbish.
In a very small coffee shop, with the area behind the counter being roughly, say, 8 or 10 m^2 at the most, I would say it should be disallowed.

Ok, so maybe law was the wrong word. I was thinking more about discrimination I guess. If jobs are supposed to be given on merit, what so relationships have to do with it?
I can see that if someone became less than competent because of a relationship that's one matter, and would likely be misconduct or something, as a problem of it's own, but a blanket rule seems to flash the warning lights of discrimination to me..

What's wrong with a bit of discrimination here and there?
*looks on net*
Ok, so discrimination is wrong apparently.
But yeah, I suppose I would reckon that a relationship is likely to make you biased towards a person, especially if they are your subordinate. Also, if you split up, it could cause all sorts of problems for the company.
Basically, organisations don't want you to be happy, they just want to protect themselves. And make money.
(, Fri 13 Jun 2008, 0:14, closed)
Perhaps the rules are just in place to prevent the fallout from relationships going wrong. Maybe that's why they let the married couple in, but talked at least two others into resigning (IIRC - it's mostly chinese whispers). This of course did not stop the odd work-fling here and there.

on the grounds that it wasn't right for two members of staff to be publicly flaunting a relationship infront of lesser staff (their words) - bearing in mind that only two people knew and they lived with us so didn't give a toss.

Then this lumbering brick shit house of a guy wanders up beaming "Becky, nice to meet you". I was shocked to say the least, but agreed to go to the pub with him.
Incredibly dull doesn't begin to explain him. He talked about his job and how much he hated it, but didn't want to leave as it was easy money and the receptionist was a hottie. I waited til he went to the toilet and legged it.
Switched my phone off til I got home and got close to 100 missed calls and around 30 texts. I replied to one to say I was safe and had changed my mind out of courtesy. He then rang me a further 200 times, texted another 75 times saying what a bitch I was for not staying and talking to him. I replied by saying, maybe if he'd been honest in the first place about who he was I'd have stayed but he was a cunt for pretending to be someone else. At which I was called shallow. WTF?

The word Viking comes from the Old Norse word "vikingr", lit. "one who came from the fjords", from "vik", meaning a bay, creek, fjord or inlet. By the end of the Viking period, the term referred to pirates or robbers operating by sea, known as "vikingr" in West Norse, and was used as a term for sea-born warfare and harrying in the West Norse "Viking". Though mostly used as a general term for pirates there are instances of another use in some of the Icelandic sagas. There some were considered vikings and to be "going on Viking" who sailed out to claim fame and fortune for themselves.[3] This could involve seeking the stewardship of kings, trading in foreign parts and raiding. These names were common mainly in Scandinavia itself, however, and many other terms were generally used in the wider world. These included heathens, northmen, Lochlannachs in the Irish tongue, the people from the north, the Danes, Rus', or simply the foreigners. These terms, however, were used for the Viking peoples as a whole, and thus never accounted for the class distinction between vikings and other Norsemen nor the variety of the Nordic peoples.

The Normans were descended from Scandanavians (which is how William of Normandy had a claim to the English throne when Harald Harlanda died). And the Norse traded around the Med and down to West Africa anyway. So you could have a Dutch Viking.

admittedly we take a tent that weighs 23kg and can easily take a kingsize inflatable bed so it's not what most people imagine camping to be like....
I'll keep a bash in mind and see if anything occurs to me
edit: @ancrenne: I have no idea. I remember cardiff used to when I was there, so that is an option.
best venue for a bash would probably be The Imperial. get some nice weather and we can sit in the grounds and get hammered!

As I got up last night to for a piss about 2am just as she had gotten into her room. I heard her bolt out of bed and lock the door. So I wandered up and down the hallway a few times banging into things to freak her out. I know, I'm so considerate of others. And she's a messy fucker. Granted I am too, but only in my room. But she leaves food out in the kitchen, takes up all the freezer space and then doesnt eat any of it and actually pisses on the toilet seat. I took one of those family size toilet roll packs into the toilet when I first moved in and there was three of us, since the other girl has moved out I've been replacing the toilet roll in there as she doesn't bother. So now I keep it in my room instead and she shakes off (presumably) and there's always drops on the seat. Feeeeeeelthy bitch.
