Does this mean that men's toilets dont always have cubicles? what about if you need to ...... well, sit down?

You all know I am a female but you know me there is always a "Guess what I did" story. A few years ago I was flying with hubby from Glasgow to Gatwick and had 2 large V & T;s in the lounge at the departure gate. Now there's only 3 peole left in the queue and suddenly I am dying for the loo. So I said to the gate staff that I'd be back in 2 minutes.

Belted out say a toilet sign dived in and though "Oh how strange there are only 3 cubicles and yet it seems a big toilet area. Soon as I dived into the cubicle I realised there were a load of men "aiming" at the wall and realised I was in the gents. Toooo late. So I just did what I went in there for anyway and nonchalantly walked out.

Cue a big load of gobsmacked guys.:rotfl:

Ask Hollypear about her new trousers - one leg longer than the other - they're all the rage here in Glasgow!!:rotfl:

Cranezoe and Bryysnn I did a MS today in Glasgow and then realised I was a day too early. So need to go back and do it again!!! Was so fed up I treated myself to a nice Chinese. While in there the Olypmic ceremony was on and saw these strange blokes on TV. Waiter said these people are all Confuscious (sp) So I blurts out "Oh I know him he does all these strange quotes. Like what he asked me.

So I said "Confucious says man who makes soup with fresh vegetables and peas in it is not hygienic man"

Then I came out onto Buchanan street and there were these South American Indians with all the headgear, painted faces and stuff playing pan pipes. Note to self need to stop this drinking wine.

Oh and my trousers are sooo fashionable in Glasgow. I have started a new fashion. One leg goes knee length and the other is thigh length. Have you not got them yest in England.:rotfl:.

I didn't think there was any truth to what some say about being able to view jobs on boards that others can't but now starting to think maybe there is some truth to it. Maybe this is the reason that I have never had a hotel job through TNS :rolleyes:

I don't think so, the hotel ones come and go in less than a day, I have seen only 4 come out unlike the usual 100 branches, as for the restaurant is it concession?
They do have other clients that they send out invite and only a privilaged few can see, like the new homestore. You probably have to do a certain number of jobs to qualify.
Anyway I am one looking forward to their merger with GFK.

Is the merger happening? does anyone know when?

I don't know, it is talk at the moment and talk can take a long time but it will be good. GFK are steady and it will be good for them both. I just hope GFK would change their allocation system. After doing your local branches a few times you just can't accept work there anymore unlike if you could see the whole lot and vary your work.

I would have just rang the company and asked if they could shift the day forward!

did anyone get any of the spanish restaurants that were on the alerts thread? I've been out and just seen the post, but none left for me And if it's the Spanish ones that I'm thinking of, I LOVE them - so not fair!! :rotfl:

Hi! I got one!! But I can only do it on the weekend and whilst I can select a weekend date, the assignment notes say 'can only be done mon-fri'.
Tried to ring RE but their office is closed.
Does anyone know if it's ok to do the assignment if I can select the date?
And does anyone know REs weekend office hours?

Hope someone can help - thanks! :T
