due to Zavvi been up shit creek, I managed to get the full boxset for 12 quid.

still too funny for words

"you're not going to out hippy me you stupid fucking hippy" is one of my favourite lines

but

"I'll never have sex like that again, not unless I go on holiday to Hawaii and there's a plane crash and all of my survivors are women sex therapists on their way to a conference. There's maybe even some male sex therapists. They'd love that wouldn't they? All fucking each other and giving each other tips while I sit on a rock wanking and crying!"

is my all time fave

My sister bought me that box set for Christmas, great series - she didn't get quite such a good bargain.

I made the most of Zavvi's problems by buying a boxset of the first 4 series of House for £48 and the last series of 24 (the only I haven't already got) £16.60. So another good score for the Credit Crunch  :)up

Got the West Wing boxset from them..£40 or something :)

Complete Sopranos still 100 buck, but I've got my eye on it.

went into town today and the zavvi that was trading away quite happily on saturday is shut down and completely gutted, even the shelves have gone. that was quick

What happens if you get caught shoplifting at the moment. Who's going to prosecute you?

cps

So what's with those signs that you see up places saying we always prosecute shoplifters?

Who is the we in that case?

shop just presses charges cps does the prosecuting

Ok then, will reword my question.

If I walk into Zavvi tomorrow and grab a stack of six complete Sopranos boxsets and brazenly walk out the door, if someone decides to stop me, am I going to get done for shoplifting? Who's going to press charges?

btw, I'm not seriously considering this. Life of crime not for me and all that, just curious.

LOL ... do you really need someone to answer you ?

If you did it before Woollies went under than nothing much would happen because nobody would've cared enough to prosecute you.

But Zavvi is a going concern so you'd get charges pressed by the shop staff just as they would have done previously.

imagine talking to a zavvi employee

"i know mate, terrible innit - whats that you say, you've lost your job, your cars been repo'd, and your house is going to go the same way, meaning your wife is going to leave you and take the kids ?"
"look on the brightside, I got the Laurel and Hardy boxset for 40 quid"

the adminstrators would of cared enough

The administrators weren't in the stores, the staff who knew they were about to lose their jobs were.

Was there 'owt worth nicking at Wollies?

i got a dvd box set of starship troopers for a couple of quid

and the chuckle brothers dvd for my nephew (honest)

In future please make the title of the thread clearer, I hid in the loo at work excited about the possibility of a peep show to find out the thread is about scottish people arranging a shop lifting outting!

Shame on you tank. You used to be my hero!!

Worse things can happen when you take your laptop to the loo

Actually, now I think of it, what you had in mind could have been much worse for a laptop

You can nick the gift vouchers at Zavvi with complete impunity.

On the blackberry, small screen but better than working! I'm becoming a very good sciver. Infact dave you can be my new hero after the great job you did at norwich union! Any work shy tips for me?

First off, find a job that none of your immediate bosses or peers know how to do, and make out it is ten times harder and takes ten times longer than it does.

Then, occasionally start tutting and angrily shaking your head at your monitor, as if you are having a really bad day.

Give work related codenames to non work things. When my friend said to me 'you need to authorise a GYP' it actually meant 'lets read someones private emails that we have access to', 'I need you to check the VCP chart' meant lets go down for a coffee outside of breaktimes.

ALWAYS walk around with a file or worky looking piece of paper in your hand. If you are caught somewhere you shouldnt be, make it look like you are counting something in your head then write something on the paper.

If you cant be bothered to do something, pull a wire out the back of your computer and occassionally ring up the IT department saying "I need this back online in the next hour, can I raise the prority of it" Nobody is bright enough to look at the back of the PC and if you plug it in when the IT guy comes upstairs, you can just say 'typical, it starts working as soon as you get here'

If you have spent an entire morning doing nothing, instead of claiming to have done something, moan relentlessly saying "Ive got nothing done this morning" - nobody will think you are bragging and assume you have been been trying to work, but something unavoidable got in the way.

My favourite was always booking meeting rooms when you fancy having a chat. Take some files with you and nobody will ever disturb you in a meeting room.

All of which makes everyone think you are working really hard, and few people ever question otherwise.

When I was working in insurance there was one weekly report that took my predecessor a couple of days to compile.

I wrote out VB code to automate vast chunks of it which reduced that time to a few hours.

That was really handy for freeing up time for skiving.

Bravo bravo! You really are my hero! Would you consider being my mentor?

That is EXACTLY what I did for the last 12 months of working for NU. I had a long quality report to complete, that was very time consuming, but then I made a spreadsheet that imported all the info and made a 6 hour job a 20 minute job.

I just didnt tell anyone, I told them it made a 12 hour job a 6 hour job, which meant that Mondays were very easy for me.

this one is brilliant. nothing but honesty about how lazy you are but people will interpret it as the comlete opposite

what a let down this thread is,I thought there might be some norkage on view

sigh.......................

No news on the mentor front...sigh...

Go the Peppa Pig boxset today for a score.

9 hours of Peppa Pig, ship.

I think Daddy pig is a bit of a plonker tbh, way too overbearing on the baby pigs and he preferes pepper to the boy pig, thats sooo obv.

I remember when i worked for NU in bishopbriggs, I cost them over 115k because of a processing error, I processed 2 months of travel insurance policies twice, I was popular after that.

GG me

You've totally been levelled by Peppa Pig imo.

Daddy pig's personality is not a direct 3rd person representation of what Daddy pig would actually be like in real life, the same goes for all the other members of the cast.

Everyone in the show is a representation not of themselves, but of Peppa pig's perception of them. We see the world through Peppa's eyes.

It's similar to a narrative device often used in film or sit com when someone in the story is telling a story (a character begins telling the tale vocally, and then we cut to the flashback, then we go back to where he is finishing telling the story) In sit coms, often two characters will tell the same story with the characters in the flashback acting very differently.


This is why it looks like Daddy pig favours Peppa over the yonger one. It is also why Daddy Pig seems to view jumping in muddy puddles as being of greater importance than any other more adult pig activities.
