I’ve been weighing up leaving my job for some time. In short, the CEO is an egotist. Which would be fine… many of them are and I’ve dealt with worse… problem is he is my line manager. He completely ignores me 99% of the time but when he’s got a bee in his bonnet about something the other 1% of...

I think this is an idea that has a growing momentum and is probably overdue a run out in the UK. Especially in city centres this seems to me to be the best way to ensure we don’t have speculators sitting on empty properties just waiting for their value to go up. It also eases the tax burden on...

Thought this might warrant its own thread given two thirds of the country will be going to the polling stations tomorrow. Early indications are that (somewhat unsurprisingly) the Tories are going to sustain losses, it’s more a question of the scale of those losses. Survation’s final poll...

I have questions about how PGMOL works (assume I’m a layman here) and rather than infect other threads that are discussing yesterday’s decision I thought I’d air this out separately. My question is essentially how is PGMOL, as a private and independent entity not considered to be a monopoly? I...

I find myself once again staring out of the window between four whitewash walls on a beautiful end of summer eve. Tomorrow I'll be going into theatre for the 24th time in my 24 years on this Earth. Such times do tend to make you contemplative and pensive, so I thought maybe writing my thoughts...

I'm going to take advantage of the relative anonymity of asking questions on here and once again dip into Bluemoon's collective farcical wisdom. I finished university and I started working for a company pretty much straight away about 5 months ago. Been really happy there up to now, not had a...

I'm not normally one to go to the GP. I spend enough time in hospitals to want to be diagnosed with anything new. Been in absolute agony the last couple of days though. I simply can't walk. It feels a bit like there's a piece of string going up through the middle of my right leg and up to my...

So I'm a recent graduate. Graduated two weeks ago, just about. Decided to get straight into applying for jobs, so I've been scatter-gun applying for everything and anything because I know the job market's tough. Anyway, whilst browsing through job-websites I came across a job advert for a...

I'm walking down the street with my £16 worth of pizza, and some guy asks me for a quid. I told him I had no change (which was actually true). So then he asks for a slice of pizza. Now I'd have give him the quid if I had it... but no fucker is taking my pizza. So I told him no. Then he followed...

I would normally hate threads like this, but I've kind of got nobody else to ask (sad though that sounds) as this dilemma involves the people I would normally talk to about this kind of stuff. Essentially, I really liked this girl, but things didn't work out the way I would have liked. The end...

Okay guys, I need your vast wealth of knowledge and experience on this one. I am a student who is about to graduate in a little under 5 months. I have been speaking to a friend of a friend who works in the financial services in the US about getting work over there once I've graduated. Now he...

... is a massive massive ball-ache this close to Christmas. This is what I get for moving to Scotland. If I went to Warwick, Lancaster or Exeter I'd have my feet kicked up and I'd be supping on mulled wine by now. I suppose the benefit is I don't have exams in January. Plus it's only two...

Hey guys (and girls), I know there's a few musicians on here (including BOB if he's still knocking about), so I was hoping you wouldn't mind giving this a listen. My sister has produced her own single, she writes all her own music and does a lot of covers as well. I just thought I would put it...

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this: http://www.liberationfrequency.info/2012/05/08/norways-controversial-experiment-healing-prisoners-instead-of-punishing/

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a set of electric drums. I have a slightly restrictive budget (wouldn't want to spend too much more than £300 if possible). I'm pretty musical and play a range of instruments but I feel the drums are the only thing I have little to no knowledge of, so I'd like to...

I'm looking for some help as I'm completely clueless on this, so I thought I'd ask you men of experience. I've recently come into some money, not a lot, just a bit I was owed by somebody that they've finally paid back. Anyway, my sister is currently pregnant. Not only that but just today I've...

Hey guys! I thought I would dip into your vast wealth of knowledge, so any help would be appreciated. I'm quite excited because my friends and I are starting up a 5-a-side team. Now that sounds rather mundane and ordinary to most but the reason it's so important to me is because it will be the...

I like to sell myself as a bit of a rennaissance man, and in order to do so it's important to have a good stash of tea and coffee when entertaining guests. So, people of Bluemoon. What is your brew of choice? I'm sat here with a standard Earl Grey but I also love a good Assam. Nothing too...

Now that it appears my life's ultimate dream of seeing City dominate the footballing landscape might be in danger of coming true (who would have thought that in '98 when I started supporting City?) I am absolutely loving it. However, there are a few aspects of the old City I miss. One of which...
