Room 101

I work for local government and I hate being drummed with 'diversity' and 'inclusion'.
No capacity to think freely. Honestly, real equality and fairness means we don't have to talk about diversity and inclusion, it's just woke talk nonsense. 🙂

I agree, real equality is everyone just being treated the same. Then there is no need to worry about diversity and inclusion.

Both of my brothers worked for Customs (at VAT HQ).
They always said that it was a good job that I didn't (In several jobs I couldn't hold my tongue in the face of any BS).
The diversity 'training' drove them to despair....everybody involved knew it was just a tickboxing exercise.
(But you will know all about it Jason - more than any other, government departments have to be SEEN to be doing the 'right' things).

I remember when I first started 2 April 1990, like the Eagles Hotel California you can check in but you can't check out.

What matters, is your skill set, your basic attitude, experience and the ability to do the job.

You can be immersed in it but as long as you don't lose your essence that's what really matters.

I don't want to celebrate Menstrual Cycle Day Or xxxxxx History Day

My brother asked them when he was going to be celebrated 🤔

I don't want to celebrate Menstrual Cycle Day

A long time ago, around 40 years, an old friend of mine said he wanted to open a bike shop one day and, if he did, he was going to call it Menstrual Cycles...

We're drifting toward politics.

I know this is politics but, Donald Trump.

People who toot their horns to notify others they are there, or signal their departure. Particularly when it's early or late. Lazy and selfish.

Oh, and Captain Tom's daughter, it seems...

Did you know; Spaghetto, confetto, and graffito are the singular forms of spaghetti, confetti, and graffiti.

Don't these belong in the 'did you know' thread?

I looked that up because, I thought you were taking the pee, it seems so silly that that should be a named phobia...

My bad, I'll should have checked. Thanks for the heads up.

The concept of 'Black Friday' - from what I can see it's certainly not on a Friday, and seems to go on for about three months...

Don't forget Cyber Monday! 😊 Only you're right, it follows on from Tuesday, Weds right up to Xmas and BEYOND (tm). Apologies Buzz Lightyear, please don't sue me.

Black Friday?

"Look, buy now, all those prices we increased last month, are back down to where they were before we put
them up!"

Exactly. That is why I decided to purchase my oled tv prior to BF.

I love the meme I saw a couple of weeks ago. Please shops we've all got large screen TV's, put groceries and things we actually need on Black Friday sale.

Drivers coming down our 20 mph restricted lane that was clearly marked 'Road Closed' at the turning and then spinning round and speeding off at 60 mph (in our 20mph) zone to make up the time lost time.

I would love to put TCL 98” TV's into room 101. Look at the size of the damn thing. Seriously who needs a TV that big. It wasn't so bad when we just got the odd 1 in for a specific customer order but now we carry stock of them it's a pain.
