My sister gave birth to her first child this morning - a wonderful baby girl.

I can't express how happy I am

Congrats!! I shall soon be in the same boat - my brothers first born is now a week overdue!

I just found out I'm gonna be an auntie too

[bmstinton93]

My sisters need to get a bloody move on!

[Nicola_Red]

You're still a baby yourself! I'm not that far off 40 and only just becoming an auntie now.

My sisters need to get a bloody move on!

What, to catch you up?!!!

The following has happened over the last month or so...

Client in old job hears that I called them a "****", they complain, I get suspended with pay, I say to current job - "I'll bugger off then", old job agrees and gives me 2 months salary, I get another, more interesting job and I use the money to redecorate my living room, hallway and bathroom.

So, to summarise, swearing is not only cool and clever, it gets you a better job and a new bathroom.

Well done Bruvva, kudos to you.

Many years ago I got suspended from a job as my manager thought I was stealing cash from the company (I wasn't). I got two weeks off, and once it was confirmed I wasn't stealing, I got paid for them AND a letter of apology.

I too left shortly after that, to do the exact same job for their main rival (they figured why compete with him when we can just employ him ourselves), for an extra £3,000 (which at the time was nearly a 33% pay rise). Mint.

Must have been an anxious time initially, but I'm glad it worked out well! My immediate question though, is who told the "****" that you called them a "****"? Because realistically whatever the outcome, that person is a "****"!

Four star General?

Yuds, I truncated what happened for brevity. Basically, I was at home at the weekend on call, client phoned was being a bit of an arse and then my mate who I worked with came on msn so I said to him "God [client name] are being RIGHT ****" as a stress relieving "ARRRRGH", thought nothing more of it and got on with stuff. Unfortunately, just at that monent, he took a screenshot of something for the same client and put it on the website that was used to track issues so they saw what I said. Had I written it 5 seconds before or after, they wouldn't have seen it. Had the relationship with the client not been in the toilet, they wouldn't have made an issue of it.

But, yes, it was an anxious couple of weeks until I got the new job - although 2 interviews and 2 job offers! Obviously I still interview well

Yes, my friend actually broadcast the message, yes I could have really made life difficult for the company but, as I say, I'm doing a job now that is more challenging, more fun and there's no working weekends. So, a win-win situation.

That is HILARIOUS.

I can't stand the stuff they sell in there, like albums from about 15 years ago but at triple the price - or scabby Casio watched for £30+

Making me smile was Dominik the Donkey being played on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning!

[dimtimjim]

^^ Ha! Nice!

As said elsewhere, I'm currently going through CM Show Christmas '11 so have heard it plenty enough recently. but nice to know DtD is still making the airwaves.

[dimtimjim]

Sorry for double post, making me smile today: Our fancy coffee machine at work is out of order, all the 'addicts' are going nuts! Apparently Nescafe (other instant shiz is available) just doesn't cut it!

mwhahahahahahaaaa!

I too now have a gorgeous little niece!

[Nicola_Red]

Flatmate is home. He looks tired and thin and is walking with a limp, but otherwise okay. I'm very glad.

[Yudster]

Is he vegan too? If so, feed him up! If not, order takeaway! Glad he is on the mend.

[Nicola_Red]

No, he's an omni. We had takeaway last night - pizza - and I also took him home a cupcake and a giant 'decorate your own gingerbread man' kit I've instructed him to eat plenty!

[Nicola_Red]

And a giant bouquet of red roses just arrived at my office from Mr Red. I'm blushing at my desk now. I'm so lucky

[Boboff]

Whats an Omni?

At Christmas does get all God like?

What with his Omni Presents.

[MK Chris]

Shorthand for 'omnivore' I believe. Unless you were just setting your joke up, in which case ignore me.
