Morning all! Best wishes from me too. We had a really quiet day at home here in East Yorkshire yesterday. Back at work today and then at home again for the New Year.

That's a shame. It doesn't seem that long ago that they were winning everything in sight under the guidance of Brian Noble.

Here's another from me :D A blonde woman was speeding down the road and was pulled over by a woman police officer who was also a blonde. The blonde cop asked to see the blonde driver's license. She dug through her purse and was getting progressively more agitated. ‘What does it look...

Donald Trump goes on a fact-finding visit to Israel. Whilst he is on a tour of Jerusalem, he suffers a heart attack and dies. The undertaker tells the American diplomats accompanying him, "You can have him shipped home for $50,000, or you can bury him here, in the Holy Land for just $100"...

I try to be friendly with everyone at work, it makes for a better atmosphere and working relationships. We chat about allsorts such as the TV, what we did at the weekend, the weather, etc., but still manage to get our work done. There are a couple that I don't particularly get on with, but...

Another inspiring post - well done on achieving your dream :D

Congratulations on achieving your goal. That is a really inspirational post. I too have learnt from this forum and the advice from other forumites.

I drive, though mostly only to work, the supermarket and occasionally to visit friends/relatives. When the car went in for a service earlier in the year and they kept it longer than I expected (needed a part which they didn't have in stock), just the journey to work involved two buses...

Agreed. Even after watching countless repeats of the show, I still find it a lot funnier than much of the more recent 'comedy'. I do hope nobody tries to do a remake like they did with Porridge etc.

We have been wondering that too

Thanks. I could understand it if I was applying for a finance/payroll type role, but I don't need to know about percentage increases etc.. to be a good cleaner. Having said that, I have a second job which is an admin role and involves using Sage to create invoices but have never had to pass...

Thank you :D.

Thanks guys. I think I do need to do some numeracy training. It is a long time since I was at school and I haven't had to calculate percentages and values of segments in pie charts etc. in many a year...

A plane is on its way to Toronto, when a blonde in economy class gets up and moves to the first class section and sits down. The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket. She then tells the blonde that she paid for economy class and that she will have to sit in the back...

Morning all I am still narked about not passing the numerical assessment yesterday. It was so much harder than I had expected, especially given that I was applying for a cleaning role. I admit I am not red hot with maths/figures but that is why I do the jobs I do... Can anyone give me...

Thanks for your replies everyone. I got quite excited earlier when I had a message to say that I was invited to take the online numerical assessment. Unfortunately I have just been told that I didn't make the grade :( I hadn't realised how hard it would be. Anyway, upwards and onwards...

Great thread this, thanks for everyone's contribution :lol: Here's one from me Nicola Sturgeon was touring Perthshire in the First Minister’s chauffeur driven car. They go round a sharp bend and hit a cow that had wondered onto the road. Nicola says to the chauffeur "You get out and...

Hello Dave333 Thanks for the info and advice. Subject now amended, hopefully :D

Hi everyone I am new to the forum so please be gentle with me :D I have some cleaning experience (though mostly in offices/health clubs) and have applied for the post of Train Presentation Operative - Hull Botanic Gardens (Northern Rail) and wonder if anyone can help with a couple of...
