  1. I never missed a days work mate.... And I still turned up for work on time.....
  2. Takes the piss... So much for the club interacting with the fans... As soon as it gets a bit tough they are off like a shot hiding away somewhere..
  3. When you phoned in sick did you do the sick voice that goes with it??? One of the most enjoyable things ever is taking a phone call from someone who is blowing out on some fake illness or injury and they create this soft fake phone voice to make it sound like they are on deaths door or something... I let them tell me whats wrong as they explain they hurt their leg or knocked their arm or something and then I ask them what's wrong with their voice??? You normally get a bit of a silent pause from them while they process that in their head before saying.. "nothing" and suddenly their voice is back to normal...
  4. I follow the Womens game... They play some pretty decent stuff to be honest... Women have been playing football for ages throughout history only they did not get the same type of coverage it enjoys these days obviously. not been without it's controversies along the way... In 2004 Sepp ( silly old corrupt cunt ) Blatter suggested that "women should wear tighter shorts and low cut shirts" to create a better "female aesthetic" to try and attract more male fans... And in 2008 the Norwegian Female team FC de Rakt swapped their old kit for short skirts and tighter tops... which was then promptly vetoed by the Dutch Football Association only to be reversed when it turned out the ladies were wearing hot pants under the skirts and technically complied with the rules... The team made the request for the change themselves... 21-year-old team captain Rinske Temming said: In 1921 Womens football suffered a set back in England when they banned it for being "distasteful" and would not allow games to be played on Association grounds anymore so they formed the English Ladies Football Association and played the games on rugby grounds instead..
  5. So it was as bad as it looked then... shame, he will probably be out for longer waiting to be back to full fitness and that's if all goes well...

    I don't scoop it with my palm, just use it to hold the bits I am picking up.. but you are right, only takes one daft incident to realize how dangerous it is..

    If a glass or something gets smashed in our house I go straight in with palm open picking up as many bits as I can because of Leelah and the Dog and because there is never a pan and brush when you need one... Toast??? how did that come about?

    I bet you are like those people I bump into in the canteen who always say "Are you here again" conveniently forgetting that they must be in there an equal amount of time if they make an observation like that... Sounds a bit shit and probably a bit painful too unless you took any special medication with you just in case... How did that happen then??

    Not a full English then is it... It's a partial English
  11. We have the same problem due to the shift patterns... each year the 'end of year party' because we are not allowed to call it the 'Xmas party' anymore falls on one shift or the other an for the last 2 years it's fallen kindly for the other shift which means our shift get all the crap.. It does not help that when they have this party they give the whole night shift the night off and we have to try and get 24 hours of work fitting into 12 hours on days.. they worked so fucking hard last year it was joke trying to squeeze all that in.. and muggins here was still there at 9pm waiting for the last lorry to turn up, there was only me and security on site... I should have robbed the gaf and split the proceeds with the security bloke... Sometimes it's question of having to do it rather than always wanting to do it... The amount of times I thought about having a day off or getting home a bit earlier was untold, you get tired after a while of the slog and need a bit of time away from the grind but when you need to be keeping on top of the bills and what not you tend to drive on and push through it for the greater good...
  12. Firstly sorry to hear about that mate, I was not aware of that... secondly I am only playing with you.. Everyone moans about their job.. just in one of them moods today I guess.. forgive me, it all probably sounded a bit overly harsh My son manages to work part time hours and gets away with it and good luck to him.. wish I could have done that but then like you he has no serious commitments to anything and you are right, too much work and not enough play makes for a dull life.. In a lot of ways it's not worth slogging your guts out in a dead end unappreciated job.. It's only money at the end of the day, if you wake up in the morning and you are not looking forward to work then it's time to move on and find something else.. When you are older and you look back on your working time, the hours and the graft you put in over the years it does make you wonder... I don't regret it on one hand as it taught me a lot about myself... How far I could push myself when needed all to put some food on the table and clothes on the kids backs, In my early years I did all sorts from building sites to communications and put the hours in on every one them and although it was a different time with different rules the effort put in still remains the same... I don't talk about work or how my day was when I get home anymore at the end of the day.. Once it's over as far as I am concerned that is a closed book...
  13. Weird to hear people complain about doing a bit of overtime... I mean in the grand scheme of things putting in a bit extra for your job is sometimes part and parcel of working... If the job sucks in other respects then it's time to move on obviously but I see and hear this type of thing a lot from younger people where they believe that they should only work the exact amount of minutes the company pays them for and not a second more... I have someone I work with who keeps getting passed over for promotion because he thinks it's his right as he has been there a long time, well it doesn't work like that.. I keep telling him, he has the skills but lacks the dedication and effort to use them wisely... He expects everything to fall in his lap without having to make any effort at all. I hear it a lot from my Daughters boyfriend as well who moans and groans pretty much all the time about getting home a bit later from his job and yet claims he wants to progress in the company? He can't have it both ways... either you show some dedication to the job or you don't and either way if I am not the one doing it then obviously it's no skin off my nose which one he picks but he needs to stop complaining... Such a huge difference in what I used to put in when I was younger and what younger people think is hard these days... When I moved off of nights when I used to work at Safeway's back in the day my hours changed a lot.. I was getting up at 4.30am each morning to get to work for 6am then I would still be there at 10pm sorting out the night crew and roll home at around 11:15pm each night much to my other half's disappointment... I did them hours for 3 years!!! so as you can imagine I find it laughable when people moan about staying 15 minutes or having to go in a bit earlier or stay a bit later... I appreciate that times are different now and maybe the working mentality has changed and don't get me wrong I don't believe that people should be doing excessive hours, When I was doing all them hours it meant I missed out on the kids growing up during that time but then we needed the money and it was part of the job responsibility when I got promoted.. If I could do it all again though I will admit I would cull those hours right back so I had more family time it's my only regret really but then I had kids and not being around to help out sometimes made me feel a bit bad but the Mrs and me always talked about any promotions or positions before I took them so we always walked into it eyes wide open so to speak... Modern youth and young adults need to toughen up a bit... I laugh in the face of your distress..
  14. I cant believe you posted that.... They are called Turtles over here as well..... looks like some sort of Terrapin though...
  15. Err... Is that what a Peruvian Hamster looks like then..??? They sure look a lot different to that in this neck of the woods...
  16. A Twitter user known only as @NaomiH_official, who reportedly identifies as a transsexual ‘furry’, was so delighted about landing work experience at Nasa that she tweeted the words: ‘EVERYONE SHUT THE F*** UP. ‘I GOT ACCEPTED FOR A NASA INTERNSHIP.’ This attracted the attention of Homer Hickam, an author, Vietnam veteran, and ex- Nasa engineer who trained Japan’s first astronauts, who tweeted: ‘Language.’ The tweet provoked Naomi to roar: ‘Suck my dick and balls I’m working at Nasa.’ Unfortunately, it turned out the Hickam sits on the National Space Council which oversees Nasa. The over-enthusiastic Tweeter’s internship offer was then revoked.

    I am a Despatch ( English ) or Dispatch ( American ) Manager mate... Our job fluctuates a bit depending on the time of year or what promotions are running as to how busy we are... We tend to carve out our own time by just knocking everything out as soon as we get it so we can have a bit of down time here and there, It's a 12 hour shift and you need a bit of a break especially when you are up against it time wise... I just look around sometimes you you see others that don't seem to give a toss if their departments are covered properly or don't ever get involved with their teams at all... Clipboard Managers I call them.. At the end of the day I just have to be sure my department is running right regardless of what others are doing but it does make you wonder how they stay in the job.. and it's times like that when you sometimes think " Fuck this" I want a day where I can walk around with my hands in my pockets as well just for a bit of a change... Just out of interest though one of the firms Managers had to step down ( with some assistance ) from his role, clearly got caught out doing bugger all too many times.. so maybe there is some justice after all.. Knowing my luck it would have to be both... I can just imagine the job advert actually... Looking for excitement!! Why not become a GH Inspector.. Travel expenses paid for, Open for business 24/7 Why not come along and meet the members...

    Yea you say that but if you saw how much I actually do when I am there you would be begging me not to leave... I might have them moments but don't mean I actually follow them up... sometimes you are covering so much you wonder what the fuck everyone else is doing around the place... It's quite hard graft with tight deadlines and I am lucky that I have a good team that can raise their game but you look around at some and wonder how they manage to stay in a job... You can sack those hands in pockets fuckers if you like...
  20. Beth is a good character for me.. Although always seeming in control and scheming and manipulating the downfall of others, You can't help think she is on the very edge of completely losing control if that makes any sense... She is always pushing the boundaries constantly..
  21. Bound to happen though when you consider everything that's going on... I will be sticking with it, something has to go tits up somewhere you would have thought but hard to tell where it might come from with everything that's going on...
  22. Still an interesting watch for me at the moment, The mountain top scene with the tourists was rather unexpected I must admit and then the bear and all the questions... Even funnier when they sent that officer who got thrown and impaled... " your not gonna die, because they will think I did it" It's coming on all fronts now which I kind of expected as we get deeper into it and have more characters and scenarios to explore... It seems to be a case of when it rains it pours with everything coming all at once..
