What cheeses me off

Cheese?

Creme Fraiche

WCMO ..... is when a flight is delayed but it still says check-in when it should say boarding/delayed, as it's 30 mins pre-departure? I'm having a pretty good run on this trip clearly, but my worst delayed leg so far is 23hr15min So, a 1 hour delay on this leg isn't too bad! (MRU-TNR).

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not really that cheesed off but rather I am highly amused!

Wcmo is doing some spring cleaning and finding about thirty toothpaste tubes of the small variety and realising that they are at least six years old and too old to be donated

Your electricity bills must be staggering!

I'd also be surprised if you can even get the room temperature down to 15 degrees. You would need a massive system in a tiny, hermetically sealed room to achieve that.

Nah we live in Canberra and leave the windows open. Really only achievable in winter.

"Whole flight WiFi" that has a really low data allowance........


Fortunately when the FA gave me my code, the list of codes for every J pax was there....... so I had extra if I needed

What appeared to be a homeless man sitting outside my GPs practice on Wickham Terrace smoking a cigarette and asking everyone who passes by for spare change.

Stop smoking. I'm not giving you money to buy cigarettes or alcohol.

WCMO -

USA visa application. Web site continuously buggy (loops & related). Every time I call and report, useless call centre somewhere says 'we will escalate, you'll get an e-mail ..'

After 3 weeks, e-mail says check under your profile for resolution.

Resolution is 'Fixed - continue your application'

Resume application - another bug. Call, rinse repeat.

Edit - Cheesy update. Got an e-mail after this mornings call and 'escalation'

Your Case xx_xx_ has been resolved. Please log in to your portal at https://www.usvisascheduling.com/ to view the comment under Feedback/Requests on the Visa Application Home page.

Success! Quick resolution!

So I do that, and it says

We understand you require assistance regarding your visa application.

Please note, we have since escalated your concern to our IT team and this is being further investigated internally.
We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience while our IT team work on resolving the issue.

So 'resolved' for the USA Visa system has a similar meaning to 'enhanced' with airlines.

If you can't stop gambling then maybe he can't stop smoking -

It’s called planning isn’t it?

#WCMO is having to plan - sometimes for the most mundane things

 

[Quickstatus]

Your electricity bills must be staggering

How staggering?
#WCMO - Ill need to sink more $$$ into upgraded glazing, insulation, draught mitigation.......

Why are we comparing the two?

I don't sit in front of buildings harrassing passers by asking for loose change?

P.S. I can stop gambling anytime I want. I don't play pokies much at all. I bet on soccer and UK racing.

Oh and I only drink alcohol when I'm holidaying in Thailand.

Oh and I gave up smoking 20+ years ago.

But I still play golf. For now that's not negotiable.

WCMO is companies that have yet to enter the 21st century and still refer to their skilled "craftsmen" when they employ women as well.

You could express gratitude they acknowledge that the woman's place is not only in the home

They don't mention women at all. I just know the company employs them.

Or we could, as a general population, stop taking words like "craftsman" to specifically refer to the male of the species and assume it refers to both, as in "human", which refers to both male and female. If we don't do that, we end up with the nonsense that briefly reared its head in the UK when there was a movement that suggested that Manchester should be renamed Personchester!

…many (not all) of the terms which have ‘man’ are derived from the latin manualis meaning of the hand, strength power etc.

Old timey wimey WCMO, really hope it doesn't happen nowadays
Husband and I applied for a mortgage together back almost 20 years ago.
We identified as married
St George actually rang me to query why my name was different to my husband's surname ..... and I was I currently identifying as married ???
