It's too fucking early on a Monday to be talking about diets and grammar
My dad who is 60 ran a half marathon yesterday. I was bloody impressed with the old guy.

What has someone done to surprise/impress you recently?

Alt Q: Do you fancy anyone in your work environment?
(, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 10:54, 137 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
I was surprised
when someone started a new thread with a question about surprises, when the one immediately prior to that was on the same topic.

Then I saw who posted it, and the suprise melted away like snow when one urinates upon it.

Alt Q: no

I was just about to say this.

But how do you know whether I fancy anyone at my work or not?

(, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 11:00, Reply)
I can just assume that you don't fancy anyone because that would involve actually enjoying something.

sorry I didn't read the question just looked at the answers, and it was all diets and grammar so nothing for me in there.

I could delete it but who cares.

nothing for you in there?
but you am fat.

yeah but on a brilliant diet plan already so no more tips needed. Monday to Friday I eat the same thing at the same time. Dull but good.

My mum is 65 and kept up with our long walk yesterday. We were going at quite a speed.
I forget how fit she is.

Alt Q: fuck no.

I made Wiggy walk into the city with me (he hates walking anywhere)
and he set his phone to work out how far we walked. Turned out in walking to town and back plus meandering around we walked 8.3 miles. I did get given 25 balloons by some guy outside Barclays though which was fun. Made me look a bit special though, walking around town with a herd of balloons above my head.

Disney's UP! is misleading.

Fat women. Women who insist on having the sodding window open all the time because "ooh it's a bit warm". No it's not warm, you've just lifted a stapler from one side of the desk to the other so now you're breaking out into a sweat, you great heaving cow.

Exactly
If you're cold, they expect you to put a jacket on (which sometimes is not enough) but they don't think about putting the ac a bit lower, or wear short sleeves or lose some weight.
(, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 11:08, Reply)
I really want to tell the woman opposite me to lose some damn weight
if she wasn't wearing a massive layer of blubber she wouldn't get a sweat on from standing up.

However, I did steal her desk next to the window so I can't argue or she'll make me move.

I'd rather be thin and cold.
(, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 11:10, Reply)
Oh, me too
Is she super fat, or just overweight?

Our H&S manager was terribly fat (she lost weight to get IVF). It was annoying she recommending you to hold the hand rail for H&S, and making sure you cross the road with the ligts in green, when you could see she was giving herself an early death by eating like a pig.
(, Mon 6 Sep 2010, 11:17, Reply)
Not superduper fat
but maybe a size 18-20? One of the reasons I managed to keep this desk is because I made the space around it too small for her to comfortably fit through.

Haha imagine if Health and Safety included eating well?

They did
They started talking about healthy eating, and gyms and things like that, and it was very amusing, although she'd started the diet and it didn't seem as bad.

pretty shocking and I doubt she will lose weight that way. For one it's a butt load of bread and secondly some of those sandwiches have ridiculous salt and sugar levels.
