Stevo985 Posted April 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's sort of like work experience I guess. I don't really pay much attention to it, given that I don't have children. But yeah, they get all sorts of presentations and stuff during the day, tours of the test track and plants and stuff. They don't just sit next to their dad at his desk all day. Dunno, the parents who work here seem to think it's good. Can't really say I've put much thought into it. I see. Sounds alright to be fair. Ignore my grumpiness, I'm having one of those days where just the thought of a child buzzing around me while I'm stressed out to buggery is enough to wind me up on its own! I'm all for it. Seeing as you don't own a child, did they let you bring your girlfriend? (I will drop this eventually, once I've forced a meme out of it) Each kids running around the office would be a nightmare. it's not like that at all. One woman in our office has brought her daughter and she's only actually been in the office for about an hour. The rest has been spent doing other shit. And no. My girlfriend is neither my son or my daughter and is therefore ineligible to attend bring your child to work day. (Bet they don't have that problem at St Andrews) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Children ruin enough situations. The workplace at least, should be a haven. it gets worse than that some parents bring them down the pub as well it's bad enough not being allowed to swear on the internet I don't want my pub to become a no swear zone as well A Sunday lunchtime with a meal is ok , I'm talking a Saturday night at 21:00 onwards when the kids should bloody well be in bed , get a babysitter or get 24 cans from Tesco and stay at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Children are lame. I want to have a toddler that after about 2 years turns into an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8pints Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Never got to the punchline of Troon's joke We did - http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/5058-things-you-often-wonder/?p=1289006 Why doesn't 8pints like Britney Spears? I do. He was saying that guy who refuses the sweet is me, can't think why though. I'd take a guess at it being his line of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
