@Algarveaddick Re mobile not charging. Have you cleared the charging port out? I had a similar problem where the charging lead wouldn't stay in. Literally had to stand there, pushing lead in phone for it to register. I got a needle and a flattened tooth pick (used a Stanley to whittle it flat) and CAREFULLY cleared out a load of fluff and crap that had gummed the port up. Plugged it back in and it charged treat

Second that. An Apple Store did that for me even though out of warranty. 

You'd think that the Apple store would have a gadget a bit more sophisticated than a needle and a toothpick @Gribbo had whittled down with his blade.

Depression

Personally I find a mild touch of the blues to be annoying. Depression must be an absolute bugger. Good luck if you wrote the above from current experience.

I did and thanks.

.

there i was sat in a pub and i start talking to some bloke about football.
Mention i'm a Charlton fan. he then says he was an Arsenal fan.
I say "was". he reply's "yeah i no longer support them because they took the knee" i laughed thinking it was some sort of joke but he was being serious. he no longer supports his team that he has followed since a kid and that his dad took him to Highbury all those years back because they took the knee. really?! ffs. 

getting all excited about receiving a rebate to then only finding out 50p has been put back into my account. 

Failed a job interview once after saying basically that.

"Why do want to work here?"
"You've advertised the salary at £X, which would be a decent pay rise, and it's easier than my current job...."

I couldn't honestly say 'the challenge' or whatever given it was obviously a step back!!

I guess normally the insinuation is that there's a few places you could apply for/earn money, why there?

I'm always honest in interviews, answer the 'where do you see yourself in 5 years' type questions by saying I don't know exactly, but I'm always keen to learn and progress as you get paid more!

I got asked to sum up in 3 words how I was currently feeling in an interview. Was sorely tempted to say "tired, bored and hungry"

not "old, fat, bald"?

Depends what area you work in. Anyone answers that when I conduct an interview it’s a green flag from me. You achieve, you get paid more.

really? it seems rather idk, vulgar? simplistic? selfish maybe. It's honest but it just doesn't seem to be the right response to that question. If your saying it is then next time I get asked that I probably will say it. 

it was for a sales/customer service role.

Reminds me of an interview I had many years ago, when I was asked by my interviewer, who was the works manager, what position would you expect to be in a few years time, I answered, YOURS, he left four years later, and I took over his position. 👍

I work in recruitment mate. The best recruiters that I’ve come across are the ones that are motivated by making as much dough as possible. They do more hours, work harder because they are financially rewarded through results. I’m not saying it’s the right answer to the question but it’s something I like hearing from people.
