I assume plenty of answers like "A condom full of drugs"

More likely 'a kilo of crack and a machete'

"Foreign style of writing"?

Yes, people do handwriting different in different places, especially numbers

I've had stuff from ebay wrapped like that

I know. But the handwriting in the image does not look foreign in any way to me.

Email's just been round saying that 'hygiene products' have been left in someone's drawers ono this floor and someone had better own up. Took me a moment to realise they presumably mean something like deodorant and soap, ie someone dropping a massively passive aggressive hint this person is on the smelly side.

Streisand effect, anyone?

I did think that now everyone is wondering who the victim and 'assailant' are!

It's unfortunate that the cockroach was seen on the stairs rather than the mouse, really, as it ruins the potential for some evil colleague to sing about a little mouse with clogs on.

Not sure if this is the right place, but Poundland showing how it's done...

Rail firm in Poundland chocolate row

Oof. Poundland really put the boot in about Thameslink’s shitty service record. A list of evidenced failures. It’s all a bit Streisand Effect.

 

[DotCommunist]

amusing though. Presumably theres someone somewhere who is paid to care about Poundland's brand identity. He's been near in tears to see the 'xxx is like a pounland yyyy' meme take off. But getting mugged off by Thameslink has pushed them to action. This far, and no further.

tbf Poundland's brand is quite strong, they sell cheap products cheaply. They do not strive to offer shit service a la Ryanair, nor sell crap products, Ratner. So when someone publicly states that Poundland is shit that is quite a slur. Especially coming from a company with as many shortcomings as fucking Thameslink!

 

[Jon-of-arc]

This is from my current flatmate (she is more than a bit sketchy). I have no idea who it's aimed at.



I have given her no indication that I'm likely to trash her flowers, and we get on pretty damned well.

No-one stated that they are "shit". They simply compared a Poundland product with another one. The implication was simply that cooking chocolate from Poundland would be less desirable than Fererro Rocher. Are Poundland disputing this? I think Thameslink should have stood firm on the matter.

That’s fucking awesome and disturbing

I will get probation for poppys or roses etc

Presumably aimed at you, seeing as though you’re the only other person there

Did you piss on her poppies Jon? C’mon you can tell us

Now I sympathise with this as I need one of these handset to do my job and I really like the woman who put this up but she is overly zealous about missing handsets! I do admire the way she took photos and laminated them

The general consensus (out of her earshot) is that nothing will change and indeed I found 'my' handset (Yes they are numbered. No. 6 or 7 are ostensibly to be used by my department!) balancing on a crate of wine in the warehouse this morning
