Default sense of humor

when reading these threads over the past year I have come to understand many things I miss about the UK.....sense of humor is one of them......at work many times I am trying to crack jokes and sometimes take the piss just for fun and I am there bursting out laughing and then I look around me and find blank faces looking somewhat puzzeled .....even after 5-10 yrs of knowing someone they sill stare with that I have no idea what he's laughing at face on......wtf get me outta here.....think I need a few

aye, probably...never mind half of them are stoners....but that test they threaten you with is only if they really want to fire you...there's an unflushable that's been fired months ago, she's still seen around the butt hut every now again to pass on her goods....hmmm...so nice to know your banking needs are taken care off....hmmm...did I say that... *l*

Good british humor is when you boss turns round to you and say's ''shut up woman are you on the blob or something'' and I turn round and say ''no I aint but if you don't shut up im coming over their to stab you with my scissors''




Hmmm or is that just me being violent



hmmm or as I just overheard my work mate say ''she was flicking the bean over it'' such a funny line

LOL.

You want to see the "Employee Programs" we have. I think you'd have to be a lifelong mormon to pass them if they really wanted to slap it on you.

HAHAH.. "On the blob". Oh I think you just made a member called Ray a very unhappy person. He hates that saying...you shouldve seen the argument over it a few months ago.

Flicking the bean. Love it. My wife says that.


Nope, sorry, no lunchtime pub trips or tipples allowed over here. Alcohol is a dirty word.

Depending on where you end up depends on what the extent of the absenteeism is like. Down here its not so bad but lunchtime drinking is very much frowned on all the same. Mind you I can understand that in my game to be honest.

Exactly, I mean if you can't please your customers you can't earn your wedge and thats not very nice for the misus now is it.....how is she supposed to spend your ''hard'' earned cash on clothes and shoes etc if you selfishly start having a few beers on a lunch time and therefor resulting in Mr Floppy??

men are so selfish!!!
