Just saw an advert for a company called “Pure Cremation”. During said advert it shows you can buy gift vouchers. At what stage in life do you give someone gift vouchers for cremation??
My mate walks over to the Indian takeaway after the pub and rings in an order from outside for home delivery. When the driver comes out he gets him to give him a lift home and saves the taxi fare!!
Guy in Tesco just bought all the cans of Irn Bru because there’s going to be a shortage due to CO2 issues!!! The staff let him. He must have a hundred cans.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Morning. Man down here with SEVERE man flu. High fever and agonising pains and aches. Mrs M gave me a quick check up and diagnosed me as “pathetic”. She’s also decided I’m fit for work because”I’m not getting under her feet all day”. No bed blocking in this house. Enjoy your day
Mrs M in her death bed so I went and did the big shop (including Lucozade). Came home and she’s sat up on the couch, hair done and ready to go to the pub🤦🤦🤦my nursing skills are better than I thought. Now calling her Lazarus🤣cheers

You’re wrong on this Monica. Labour have totally screwed up by supporting the bill. I think you were making inroads in Scotland but you’ve just proven that you can’t be trusted.
Lovely and Sunny here in Glasgow. Just got to my local Church (picture below) and it’s already busy. Sunday lunch out this afternoon with a wander around some of the nicer city centre pubs. Happy Easter everyone🤣
Mrs M going away for a night tonight for one of her pals birthday. Minibus coming for her at 9. I’ve to report at 08:30 for a briefing. Seems to be a quick intro to the kitchen area and what I can and can’t use. I’m only going to be in there to get a beer from the fridge🤣🤣
So, our work are now offering us a change to our contract, should we want to change. It’s to allow us to keep our weekly hours (37) but do that in 4 days instead of 5. Would you do it and if so what day wouldn’t you work?
Quick question. You get a long service award from your work which is £500 of vouchers. You get to pick which vouchers you want from a list of places that includes all the high end shops. Is it okay to give them to your other half for her birthday???
I thought here in Scotland we had enough water for ourselves plus enough to blackmail the rest of the UK with if we become independent. How come we have a hosepipe and paddling pool ban after a couple of sunny days?
Mrs M threatening to make a Sunday roast today so I’ve come to the pub to get some Dutch courage before I have to tackle it. It will be a rare outing for the oven if she does🤣🤣cheers all and enjoy a relaxing Sunday if you can👍
So got an e mail from my tv/ broadband Co. Cost going up from £95 a month to £146!!!! Phoned up to tell them to cancel and now have a better package at £80 per month!! Plus free Netflix and two new boxes. How do they get away with the pricing???
Had to pop to the local to get the umbrella that I left up there last night. Got here and realised I never took an umbrella out with me last night. Never mind. Cheers
Mrs M away for her birthday Weekend with the girls. I’ve just had the guided tour of the kitchen and been given a list of do’s and do nots (mainly do nots). Left to cope all on my own 🥲🥲going to be difficult but I will survive. Have a great weekend everyone 🍺🍺
Did a deal with Mrs M that because she was having a special holiday this year we wouldn’t buy presents but instead go on 4 holidays of her choice. It’s her birthday tomorrow and she phoned me today saying that she’d better have some presents to open 🤣🤣feel like I’ve been had🤦
Afternoon all. That’s work finished until next Tuesday. All packed and heading to Vienna tomorrow. Thought I’d drop in for a quick pint today in case they don’t sell beer in Austria. Cheers👍🤣
Out of the blue our work has just announced a £1k pay rise for everyone to help with the cost of living crisis. That’s two this year plus a normal pay rise. How’s other companies doing?
Work done 👍on my way to get the train but realised it was “National Ferret day” so popped in here to raise a glass to all the Ferrets out there. Cheers
Morning all. Early start this morning and a lunchtime finish. Checking into a hotel in Glasgow and off to the Madness concert tonight. Might fit a beer or two in. Have a great Friday/weekend all👍🤣
Washing machine stopped half way through a wash and full of water. Had an F05 error. On YouTube and found a video showing how to fix it and managed to do it on my own🤣🤣chuffed to bits, I’ve never fixed anything in my life🤣🤣🤣
No beer tonight🤦Mrs M on a Christmas night out, so I’m on driving duties. God knows what time I’ll get called, but I’ll be driving her pals around Glasgow dropping them off later🤣🤣. Husband of the month award incoming again🤣don’t be posting pictures of 🍺
Last day of my holiday break. A quick pint or two and an early night tonight. Cleared all my e-mails this morning so that I know what I’m going in to tomorrow. Cheers all
Just had a Sunday roast in front of a roaring fire in a village pub. Absolutely lovely but really full. Popped in for a quick one to let it all go down. Cheers and enjoy your Sundays👍🤣
Followed the travel advice on the tv this morning and heading home with my shovel, sleeping bag, flask of tea, torch, spare batteries etc. Just popped in here to check my train times and I’ll be on my way. Cheers👍
Very sunny today. I realised I had caught a touch of sunstroke just I was passing this establishment, so have come in to get some respite. Cheers all and watch yourself in that sun, I was lucky👍🤣🍺
Afternoon. Would you believe it? Went to get an Easter egg and the shop was unexpectedly busy which in turn has made me miss my train. Now in here waiting for the next one. Cheers all👍
Manic Monday morning, but all done for the day. Mrs M is off so has been looking at holidays on the net. She’s found one I’m going to love apparently (I won’t because it’s going to cost me) and is coming to get me and take me to the travel agent. Wish me luck and cheers
Don’t usually get DMs but just had 7 from scantily dressed young Chinese ladies who all apparently work for Amazon and can get me a job paying $25 per hour for doing nothing. I’m good at doing nothing so sounds right up my street. Do you think they might be telling fibs?
Morning folks. The day after a Madness concert🤦🤪best get moving. Got to get home and back into Glasgow for a 40th birthday party at two🤦. Have a great day folks, the snow has arrived here👍🤣
Flight home delayed yesterday because the flight from UK was delayed whilst the Police removed a drunk passenger who was causing trouble on the plane. We need to do something in UK airports to stop them getting in that state and on the aircraft in the first place.
Thank you all for your sympathy earlier. I was just going to make my weary way to the train station when I remembered it was National Winston Churchill day. He wouldn’t have let man flu keep him down, so I just popped in here to lift a glass to Winston. Cheers all👍🤣
So Mrs M out in the garden talking to our next door neighbour, a lovely lady in her seventies. Turns out she has an appointment this afternoon at the hospital and needs to get two buses to get there. Mrs M said I’d take her in the car!!!! Football kicks off at 12:30🤦🤦🤦.
Washing and ironing done and gave the place a quick hoover. Think I’ve deserved this🤣🤣Cheers all. Have a great day and if you’re into the rugby, enjoy the games later
What’s the issue with people who use private health/schools? They pay out of their own pocket (mostly) and free up a place in a council school/NHS. Is it an equality for all thing? If so, surely we should be trying to improve the NHS/Schools not bringing the private stuff down?
@Janela_X
We have two offices. One in Scotland one in England. We get the same gross pay but the English people take home £1600 per year more. Guess which office is marked for closure?
Morning everyone. I used to say that most days but now I spend my early morning blocking bots in my notifications. What a carry on that is. Do people really fall for it?? Have a great day everyone 👍🤣
Morning all. Just been made aware that it’s National Beer day, so I might need to pop out for a pint. Also found out this morning that I won £700 on the Irish lottery last night🤣🤣happy Sunday all👍👍
Mrs M driving and the boot open sign keeps coming on. I have to get out to close it because it is actually opening. Was going to turn back and go to a garage but realised I have my keys in my back pocket and every time I move my arse is pressing the open button🤦🤦
Out of milk so muggings has been sent to the shops again. Forgot about the Bank Holiday. There’s a massive queue at the milk counter so I’ve popped in here until it goes down a bit. Cheers.

English living in Scotland. Family come up for a long weekend every year. Last 20 years but don’t want to come up this year. We are meeting in the Lake District instead. Shame.
Morning all. Popped into the office to do the final checks and balances and then the Christmas party gets proper underway. Have a great build up to Christmas everyone👍🤣🤣
Morning folks. No idea what it’s like outside yet because it’s still very dark out. Too early to be up on a Saturday so a cuppa and back to bed it is. Have a great day everyone 👍🤣
That’s work done for the day, nearly there folks🤣 got toothache which is giving me a sore face/head. Google says to gargle with salt water but that isn’t available just now so popped in here to see if this works. Cheers all
Morning all. Day off for me but still wide awake. Made a cuppa and back to bed it is. Snow has nearly all gone but it’s still freezing. Nice weather for a walk though, so will be giving that a go in an hour or so. Have a lovely day whatever your up to👍🤣
Attempting to get home in torrential rain, but my brolly is on its last legs, so had to pop in here to give it some running repairs. Cheers everyone 👍🤣
Guy just came in the pub playing a violin and collecting money because it’s National Violin day?? I didn’t give him anything because it sounds like a fiddle👍Cheers all. Pub full of Dutch football supporters as well.
