CameronL Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 16 minutes ago, Ramblin Rich said: Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf? Oh, I wish. But the second line wasn't "Silver Swimming Certificate ". I also got a CV for the post of Quality Manager in which the applicant had spelled his job title as "Quallity Manager". (This was in the days when you got CVs in the post with a covering letter). 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young folks now would probably use ChatBot to write it for them. "ChatBot, can you write me a covering letter and a CV suitable for a job as Editor of RMWeb?" Certainly. How many other jobs shall I say you had, and much salary would you like? 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbedford Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I found this, this morning Quote On That List Of Most British Things Ever May 5, 2024 Tim Worstall The English May 4th 1982: As HMS Sheffield is abandoned and the fire spreads towards the Sea Dart ammunition. The remaining crew gather on the foredeck singing “Always look on the bright side of life”. ….. Tim Bromige @Timbrom2 Singing led by the FC that we had loaned to them. One of our Sea Kings closed on the fo’c’sle to pick up wounded and saw them all swaying from side to side with their arms outstretched. I learned why when he got back. Yes, I do know that second chappie there, have since before this all happened. And yes, he was there. We’re a weird, weird, culture. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
