Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
"I'm better except for the days that are worse" is still progress. You can do this. Bad days happen.
Also I realize since you're british by custard you mean yorkshire pudding, aka a lying cup of bread that tastes of sadness and despair, but **** that sounds delicious holy ****. I'd eat two plates of that.

No, by custard I mean the yellow stuff that goes with every desert. Also Yorkshire puddings are amazing if, and only if, you make the batter yourself and serve them straight from the oven.
And thanks, I'll let you know if I get the chance to cook something like it. I need to practice my plum sauce anyway.

Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

I have never made a Yorkshire pudding, but popovers are very nearly the same (butter instead of beef drippings) and quite good.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
The real question with yorkshire puddings is if you prefer bacon grease or a beef roast drippings to prep the pan.
Personally I'm a fan of beef dripping myself.

Anything is a normal exclamation if said in a RP accent
I'm not going into more detail than 'I applied to the Civil Service', I'm sure you'll understand.
But yes, if I can get in there I'll be very happy, it'll be the best thing to happen to my career since I began work.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
BREAKFAST Yorkshire puddings! [/Hobbit Accent]
Having had to deal with customs and various other civil service types in many nations. I'd say the Brits are right up near the top with Aussies and Canucks in terms of being civil. Some of the more authoritarian nation's bureaucrats make the term of uncivil seem ... rich with British understatement. So hopefully AnonWiz can join a grand tradition of POLITELY telling people they need eight more forms, three in triplicate {Scrubbed} before they can pass through to the next Vogon inspired station in their life.
Yeah pretty much...though I am so going to have with this at the pub soon.Last edited by Pirate ninja; 2019-09-15 at 06:39 PM.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
In a non-work situation this is entirely up to you. With work, your boss kind of has the last word.
In a non-work situation, if someone calls you anything you don't approve of, you don't have to respond. It is kind of hardline, so don't do it if you don't really care, but if you don't react to someone's call, they will change to calling you something you will respond to pretty quickly, unless they are really invested in it, and who cares that much about someone else's name?The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Also meatballs are just meat-based cake pops without the sticks.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
While my boss does have the last word, it's still rude to ignore my preferences. Other people get their full names, and I'm not asking to be called something unprofessional, so in what way is it unreasonable to ask to be called by my name?
I have made it fairly clear that professionally I want to go by my full name, and yet I'm railroaded into using a shorter version. Especially as others get the courtesy of their full name, it feels like 'you get your preferred name if I like you'.
In a non-work situation, if someone calls you anything you don't approve of, you don't have to respond. It is kind of hardline, so don't do it if you don't really care, but if you don't react to someone's call, they will change to calling you something you will respond to pretty quickly, unless they are really invested in it, and who cares that much about someone else's name?
