Is there a reason why you can't just wander through europe and have a little jolly through asia? Or is he doing it properly making sure you can get visa's and stuff in countries you'd want to pass through?

You have to go through one of Iran or Russia if you're doing a full on land only trek. I'm sure I remember reading Russia being funny about giving tourist visa's for people who didn't have a  fixed length of stay or an address. I'm sure if that's the case you could bribe an official. Probably a better bet that heading through Iran and then various other istans.

2 dippy lads I used to work with at the sports centre once decided to put a peguin bar in the staff room microwave and nuke it - they walked out of the staff room and left the microwave on only to come back ten minutes later to find smoke billowing out of the staff room door - the fire alarms went off and the whole centre had to be evacuted including everyone In the swimming pool etc!
The duty manager was in such a panic he then forgot that if the fire alarm goes off the whole pool system shuts down so the pool was left all night with no heating/water/chlorine going into it.

So the centre had to shut for a day and a half - all over a penguin bar!

We've got some right weirdos.

There's the 27 stone woman who eats about 10 meals a day, who's just finished work early today because she's flying out to Morrocco tomorrow to marry a heavyweight champion boxer she met over the internet when he randomly emailed her. True story.

Hahaha, the henna bird!

I used to chat to her when i popped out for a fag. I must've been told about her boyfriend a million times. She showed me a photo once and i just found myself asking, what's in it for him?

Oh well, we all have our crosses to bear and perhaps his is women partial to the odd snack.

Alot of the Thai bar girls do something similar out here, sending messages back to their "Boyfriend" back in Europe, UK, US or wherever.

They send Emails along the lines of "I love you soo much baby, I don't want to work in bar again but I have no money for my rent and for food, if you send me money then I don't have to work in bar again and I dont have to sleep with another man again, please send me money because I want to be only yours"

So the BF sends the money to stop her from working in a go-go bar, she then  collects the money along with the money that the other 20 or so BF's sent her, after receiving the same copied and pasted email. And then heads off to work, in a go-go bar to find more "Boyfriends"

Some of them are MINTED.

There was this bloke, about 55ish, who used to come in to the Esso i worked in when i was about 16. He used to bring his 'girlfriend' in with him who couldn't have been a day over 25. She spoke very broken English and he would always hold her hand and kiss her loads, for no reason other than to show she was his.

It used to make me feel sorry for him that he was proud and liked to show her off, while clearly she was less than and perhaps even looked uncomfortable. We all have our crosses...

Mate, I swear the cc is 90% made up of people who got moved down from remedial class. I used to do a spot of coaching to the new starters and some people seem to be completely unable to absorb anything. You have to repeat almost everything over and over to no avail.

Just basic DP would take months some times. I had one 'tard who I used to log breaches for about 10 times in any given day. And being the lazy cunt that i am, i barely logged a fraction of what i should've because it was pointless. In the end he was pulled off the phones and given a one on one day of DP training. Little changed post training and he left shortly after.

I used to work with this guy, Spenser, who was a bit of a window licker. He said he was 'severly dyslexic' and therefore could not cash drop his till (i.e. take out £100 when the till has over £200 in it) or count it at the end of the shift. I basically had to do his jobs as well as mine on a closing shift which was very stressful on a busy friday night. Eventually the manager got the point, after all the complaints received about him from customers and staff.

He now works at the Odeon with two of my former housemates, who I never really got on with. I like to think they all sit around and reminisce about me fondly :D

I had some guy working for me once, he really was not the full ticket.

He was utter shite at his job, constantly late and his general attitude sucked.

The bloke was so fucking thick that he would need to call me 2/3 times a week to ask where the office is. And conversations went along the lines of.

Me: Where are you?, you're late again.
Him: I can't find the office.
Me: Well jump on a motorbike taxi then. Where abouts are you?
Him: I don't know where I am, where is the nearest motorbike taxi stand to me?

Dumb cunt, he didn't last long.

We've got a Welsh woman who works in the restaurant and she's not the brightest... She starts conversations off with people at the front of the queue then carries it on with everyone behind them. They aren't even good conversations, last time she served me she was showing me a picture of a cactus plant she was looking after. I went back later that day and she was showing everyone else the same picture.

Entertaining though, if extremely irritating.
