Also... no comma there either.

Right, would be poor wording but it could translate to ”shoot playing children carefully” or ”shoot carefully playing children”

That would be helpful in summer festivals in Crete, where people accidentally shoot their children, nephews and godchildren, in a drunken attempt to shoot "into the air' for fun and as an accompaniment to rebel folk music.

We get to have him at the Stockholm syndrome meet-up next year! Too bad you can’t make it. I’m a little bit worried though, I have tried watching Kevin Bridges bits without subtitles but it’s freakin hard to follow

Every time I say "eleven," I try to do it the Scottish way. Only 2 people in my life know what the hell I am doing, and they just roll their eyes.

2 things people ask us to say as apparently it’s “hilarious”

1. Purple burglar alarm

2. The name Carl. We can’t say it. It sounds like Carol.

Nice.

Wish it was $6.99 here. We’re currently paying £1.94 per litre / £8.82 per gallon or $10.21.

We are going to be driving around Ireland in a week or so, that’s probably what we are going to pay. Going to make it look cheap when we get back home.

That’ll be good fun. If you go to Belfast make sure you do the open top bus tour. Worth seeing all the areas affected by the troubles.

Also the Titanic museum is worthwhile.

I don't know the specifics of this story, but if I was this manager's boss, and he was a good employee apart from this one (HUGE) mistake, I'd never fire him.

If I did, I'd spend a bunch of time and money to hire and train his replacement, and I'd never really know what I was getting until a few weeks or months down the road. I might have to do it all over again then.

But if I keep the guy after this massive screw-up? He is going to bust his ass from now on to do a stellar job, and he's going to thank me for letting him do it.

My thoughts exactly. I'm guessing it was a last straw kinda situation. Albeit a huge straw. Either that or a shortsighted, "act on knee-jerk reactions" type of boss.

 

[Mr Winberg]

Actually, a friend of a friend made a huge mistake at work a bunch of years ago, costing the company around SEK 10 million (about $1m). He asked his boss "I guess I'm fired now?" and the boss responded "Fired?? Are you crazy!? We've now invested 10 million in you!"

They lost $16,000 by underselling gas by $6.30 ($6.99-$0.69) per gallon. That means they sold more than 2,500 gallons before the mistake was identified? Something's fishy.

Lol. This is 'Merica.

Chances are half the fuel sold was to this guy's friends and family. And now he's gonna go on unemployment before claiming stress/PTSD and seeking Social Security Disability for life.

1. Purple burglar alarm

When we meet, I'm getting you to say this phrase and then I'm setting it as my ringtone.

Damn, I thought I had become cynical in my old age.

I guess it depends in how much they sell in a day, and if people paid by themselves at the pump or at the counter. But I think the obvious question here is: WTF is a gallon?? Like what, a gallon is like 2 and 2/3 of a stone or 9/17th of a leg or what?? Enough already with these imperialistic measurements!
