Yep, sounds like we do (have the same work ethic) @Latino_Caliente - unfortunately we are “staff”, so I can only give the boys “bonuses” that are within my control - for instance I can let them go early (but that has to be worth their while, ie early enough to get an earlier train, for example) or some of their small bonuses are “visual” as I have alluded to before - they and I know the unwritten “Rules” ….. all that is done with the knowledge of my boss(es) and they are totally in agreement ………. yes Pen and I had an Oriental take-away last evening - it was Special Fried Rice, a small pancake roll each and stir fried mixed vegetables with garlic….. we use a number of different take-aways - this one does small pancake rolls with meat, beansprouts etc and wrapped in filo pastry - another take-away does very large pancake rolls with deep-fried batter - so choose which take-away according to what food we fancy.
How about you @Latino_Caliente and others, what do you have when using a takeaway? xxx
I know you aren’t the “boss” but I do know you are allowed to grant privileges and “bonuses”. Back in the day you would have been called a “Foreman”….. or to be politically correct a “Foreperson”
If you have a good rapore with your workers, you get so much more done.
With regards to a chinky, that sounds nice what you had and I like all of it. I love the filo pastry pancake rolls, so good choice by you and Pen.
Mrs LC and I are spoilt as an 8 min walk up the road takes us to a Chinese restaurant where you can get a three course Menu del día (Menu of the day) for about €15. Or a 10 min walk in the other direction we have a Thai restaurant and we can get a plated meal for less that €10…… and very nice they are too.
Just had brekkie of wholemeal toast with soft cheese and a frothy coffee. Off out now.
Hi @Craig1234 …. in our neck of the woods, the restaurants and take-aways use the term “Spring Rolls” for vegetarian fillings, whereas “Pancake Rolls” are filled with meat and Beansprouts…… the covering on each can be deep-fried batter or filo pastry ……. perhaps its different terminology in other areas, enjoy rest of the day love xx
You are spot on @Latino_Caliente the rapport between “Foreman” or “Manager” and the boys is central to success, and there is complete openness both ways….. only Rules, 1. No discussing Religion or Politics or Salaries, Rule 2. I am always right (only joking on 2.) ….. sounds like you are lucky to have those 2 restaurants so close with good food at reasonable prices - prices in sit-down restaurants are much higher here, enjoy rest of the day love xx
Aw I could just eat some of them. Our chinese calls them vegetable spring rolls, crispy spring rolls for meat filled ones (mainly Duck) and pancakes rolls are beansprouts aswell. My favourite are Crispsy Wontons and Prawn toast
@Wurger it’s best i don’t sing, the cats would be howling and ear drums would be shattered . I’m more like the sirens after they have attached there pray to kill them
Don’t know what happened to the Scaffolders today @steve19 they weren’t where they were last week….. but thats the nature of their work isn’t it….. moving about frequently love xxxx
Blinking blonking, dunno how that happened @JGood must have ‘ad me mind on other fings at the time……. it was a Penlift to the station with a kiss and wave ….. note to self…. pay more attention ….. thank you for noticing @JGood … I must do better love xx
Thank you very much @JGood …. very much appreciated love xx
Yes it would do @DLJL but not this time of year ….. just not the weather for it…. so its the inside line or tumble drier for those bits that can handle that …….. its one of the prices us girls have to pay to look respectable in the office and not wear the same each day love xx
Thank you @steve19….. not sure about your first word dunno about keeping the Country going - I have to entrust that to others the boys really do their share, they have shifted a load today …… Thank you and I hope you are having a great day too love xxxx
Thank you @Latino_Caliente … yep, thats a lovely song…. and a tantalising view - that is what we strive for, but in this case I forgot that the skirt is suitable providing I wear “suspender tights” but is a bit short for normal stockings at work - I must remember in the future, enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend love xx
Thank you @steve19 as explained, perhaps a bit too sexy for the office, but the boys have done fantastic this week so perhaps it was fate Hope you and Mrs steve19 have a nice rest of the day and a great weekend love xxxx
Oooooo just “a smidge”? @phil76 just “a smidge”? ah well, better than no response I guess hope your OH enjoyed your picture …. and hope she responds a bit more than “a smidge” enjoy the rest of your day and have a great weekend with your OH love xx
@Wurger okay, it was much more than a smidge if I’m honest have to wait to send the photo to her but might keep it in my pics I have in reserve to cheer her up if I can’t send it today!!
Oh, sounds fantastic @Latino_Caliente it was extremely cold here last night and this morning…… we had 2 pussies on our bed this morning - interesting you still get the extra hour over there, didn’t think you did ……. have a lovely day love xx
Was that you and Pen @Wurger if so a beautiful sight, possible better than the sunrise reflecting off apartment’s although that sounds nice also. Have a wonderful day Mrs W, Pen and @Latino_Caliente and everyone else.
Thank you @steve19 …. yes, it was Pen and myself, 2 little pussies …. hope you and Mrs steve19 have had a great day love xxxx and of course everybody else xx
Ha ha…..haven’t heard that phrase in a while Mrs @Wurger
I bet the two pussies on your bed were far more interesting than mine!!
Yes, we still have “British Summer Time” here, except we are one hour ahead of you guys. As I said, still very warm here and last Friday, Mrs LC and I were swimming in the sea!
We may have some rain in the next couple of days though, but we need it. Have a wonderful day all
Ha ha….. Mrs @Wurger that did make me laugh. Two purring pussies on your bed. I bet they were!! With ours, when they get lots of strokes….they dribble! Honestly, they do. It’s cat thing!
And yes, we are always just one hour ahead of you. Our clocks change on the same day as yours, forward and back at 03:00am on the Sunday morning.
Thank you for your kind words. We are both busy at the moment, which is good for us. You have a lovely day too x
- they and I know the unwritten “Rules” 
….. all that is done with the knowledge of my boss(es) and they are totally in agreement ………. yes Pen and I had an Oriental take-away last evening - it was Special Fried Rice, a small pancake roll each and stir fried mixed vegetables with garlic….. we use a number of different take-aways - this one does small pancake rolls with meat, beansprouts etc and wrapped in filo pastry - another take-away does very large pancake rolls with deep-fried batter - so choose which take-away according to what food we fancy.
