Social Media - That was an eyeopener

Someone asking why they don’t show Links of London anymore. Could that be because they went into administration.

makes a change from Birkenstock’s

Yes, I did notice that one. It was all over the news when they went under.

Wonder when the where are the Birkenstocks posts will pop up?

Posted this on the Elemis thread.

Oh, a woman is complaining about how much air time the Elemis TSV is getting compared to say, Liz Earle. I believe this is the same woman who has complained before. It has been pointed out that each company gets the same opportunity to buy air time. But insists big business buying with money. Liz Earle is owned by Boots/Walgreens who is a big business.

Ken Bruce read out a dedication from a Jenny Taylor yesterday. Was someone having a laugh? I was driving and couldn't stop laughing.

Who is Jenny Taylor?

Say it out loud - it sounds very like part of the anatomy.

Oh, dear. how boring.

I worked with a girl with that name & felt awful as I couldn’t say it without sniggering.

Not nearly as bad as Stephen Cockhead. Honestly, he was a major client for a company I worked for. Bet he didn't change his name on purpose so if anyone laughed he went straight to the competition ha ha ha. I don't work there anymore. He he he he he he he . . .

My neighbour’s surname is Bigwood. He seems happy with it.

There's a Jane Wunder Piles in one of my Facebook groups, but she seems pretty humourless, so don't go sending her messages, please.

I interviewed Mr Kit Katt, he asked the receptionist to make sure his name wasn't called out so I was given a written description. He was a really insecure person & said that his surname had affected every aspect of his life, I asked him if he'd ever considered changing it but he said that doing that would have hurt his father. The fact that he had never had a girlfriend, didn't see many people & had stayed in the same job for years even though he didn't enjoy it all because of a word made me really sad. He was one of the last people I saw before I left the civil service to go into teaching so I never found out what happened to him. A wasted life.

Even if he has changed it to Kistofer Katt it wouldn’t have been so bad at least in work/social environment and kept the Kit for family.

I wonder if his father would have been even more hurt to see the consequences of his name choice?
And with KitKat,being one of the oldest branded chocolate bars sold in the UK, there was really no excuse.
Sure a confident extrovert might have made hay (and a name for themselves) with such a moniker, but it's disastrous for others. What a terrible shame!

That's sad, as Kit is already a cool name. I wonder if there's an Ali Katt.

Did he get the job?

Did he get the job?

It was a Restart interview to see how his job search was progressing & if he needed advice, training etc. If I remember correctly he was a wages clerk & I arranged an appointment with a local trainer to see about updating his skills. This was back in the last century & my working brain was then filled with teenagers for the next two decades - I loved them.

Someone’s thanked QVC for sending them a 15% discount code. Is that QVC being generous or getting desperate for sales?
