I await the video of you taking three 12” dildos at once.

Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.

Just saying.

Challenge 1: I have to get out of my house and if that wasn’t terrifying enough, I have to dare the dreaded Dhaka traffic.

Challenge 2: I have to work with people and if that wasn’t terrifying enough, there’s always a load of people around me.

Challenge 3: All my life, I have worked in marketing, brand, or communication. Now, I work in commercial and administration.

Challenge 1. Moot. See point #2

Challenge 2. Valid point. Just act important and look busy. All things failed , revert to first point.

Challenge 3. Revert to point #2

I think I just gave away the secret of being an effective manager.

Get Sadiq Khan over.

guessing he’s another politician who excels at spending huge amounts of public funds on ineffective projects.

Keep on guessing.

A porn star? If you say the first name very quickly is sounds like “suck dick”, and you mentioned 3 dildo’s earlier, so putting 3 and 3 together gets me to a porn star.

Oh wow Suck Dick Cunt

But when I was in NY I actually heard people that London tube in comparison to the NY metro is like way better and at least making small albeit slow improvements? I don’t how true is that or just a matter of bad, worse, worst thing. And they also mentioned Paris making great changes to their system too.

I found the subway system in NY to be excellent.
Frequent punctual service and clean carriages.
Friendly people and lots of quirky entertainers on most trains.
Enjoyable travel.

London on the other hand

[gasband]

My personal experience, albeit just a visitor, while London tube has lots to improve, but it’s still a more pleasant overall experience than the NY one.

can’t be bothered.

Career change for me.
Bought a van and upgraded my basic tool collection - I’m a time served joiner from a previous life.

Lots of letting agents where I live, already had some repair work to do from one of them.

Sick of going away for 3 weeks at a time, and leaving the missus who struggles with her health - It’s been 27 years now, had enough.

Looking forward to being at home permanently.

[RedOverTheWater]

Good luck in your new chapter. Sounds like it will be a great move.

I wanted to post this in the What’s Happening thread, then I stumbled on this one.

It’s been a week that I have resumed working in an office. Last 5-6 years I have been working from home and working as freelance or on projects. Going back to office poses some challenges:

Challenge 1: I have to get out of my house and if that wasn’t terrifying enough, I have to dare the dreaded Dhaka traffic.

Challenge 2: I have to work with people and if that wasn’t terrifying enough, there’s always a load of people around me.

Challenge 3: All my life, I have worked in marketing, brand, or communication. Now, I work in commercial and administration.

Challenge 4: Leaving my Aubergines at home to fend for themselves

[Quicksand]

Best of luck mate, big decision for all the right reasons. Well done.

[gasband]

Have you asked your wife what she thinks about this?

Joking. Always the right decision to spend time with family. God bless with your new career!

So I now have new cordless De Walt orbital sander, electric planer, and work bench thanks to our friends in blue down the M62.

Keep it up Pep, I’m looking for a nice table saw next
