As a contractor, why not join it, but talk about outrageously expensive gifts that you're waiting for, e.g. tickets for a world cruise, deeds for that bijou residence in Monaco, a £5000 watch ...Originally posted by wobbegong View PostIn addition to the above, something trivial that really pi$$es me off is the group of three women standing 3 yards from my desk, itemising every Christmas present that they've bought for each relative and the delivery status of the same.Comment

Well done for littering your spelling rant with spelling, gammatical and logical errors of your own, in keeping with established CUK tradition.Originally posted by TestMangler View PostI have two pet hates (however silly they may be).....
1. People who use the word 'draw' instead of 'drawer'. Someone said on a thread recently, they had a 'draw full of user ids'. No you ******* don't. It's a drawer !!
2. A bloke here at clientco uses the word 'pacific' constantly instead of 'specific'. He says things (ususally at meetings), like, "There's a couple of pacific things we need to discuss)
Both of the above make my ******* blood boil
Anyone else get upset by things they really shouldn't ????Comment
