Sadly that is exactly what's happened in the health and education fields over the past 15 years. The NHS has over 100,000 vacancies for key positions because people DID exercise that right. Which is why you have to wait for appointments, why waiting lists are long, why more errors happen because people cut corners due to low staffing etc.. 

But hey, it's a free country I suppose! We need to stop whining and just do the job without question... Just run into those burning buildings to saved people and stop asking for money that meets tht risk... Eh 😛

And because we kicked all the foreigners out. 

The people who need to grow a set are the punters who continue to overlook absolutely everything and pump their money into his pockets.

...and drew proper droplets for the Jizz instead of the usual dots.

I don't consider it a complete cock n' balls if it doesn't have proper droplets. 

Better peas than Butch though.

A snotty little kid was screaming at his mother all the way through my shop this afternoon. Luckily, as I left the supermarket, he got stung by a wasp and started screaming. She continued to ignore him and I laughed.

The egg's just for binding the meat. Seasoning's a different thing altogether. When I make burgers, the basic recipe is mincemeat, finely-diced onions, Dunn's River All-Purpose seasoning, some dried thyme or sage, and an egg. 

He didn't say the salt should replace the egg. He said egg has no place in a burger and salt is necessary, and he's right.

What we have here is a few numpties talking American English on a British English forum. Get your arses down Kwik Save and see if you can find yourself some frozen fucking patties.

It really is not HR's paranoia. It may be Operation's paranoia, but not HR's - who have long since argued that people are managed by output, not working time. 

Fair enough. Its easy to conflate the two when HR is mainly seen by Johnny Worker as flying the flag for ops management.

We do remain committed to the need for a signifiant office presence... for performance monitoring

Let's not pretend that this isn't the crux of it from an employer's perspective, but it's HR paranoia to assume that work that's carried out remotely can't be monitored. 

Your cafes and tapas bars would also probably boom with the increase in colleagues meeting up to touch base over a cappachoochoo. 

Please let me know if it works!

I use a Chromecast Audio which cost me 30 quid and has optical output.

...there's also the extra sort of pressure involved from a peer group where everyone is basically into the same thing

A vested interest? 

As you were.

There's a strain of truth in this, but dude, you're doing it wrong.

If only there was a way to avoid this annoyance. Like.... and this might sound crazy.... learning how she wants it done and doing it right first time?

You're right, it does sound crazy. And who said her way was right? 

It's called a colander, fool. 

This used to be such a joyous thread. There should be a different thread for you African Bum Disease lot. 

Mine always smell of shit. 

Speculation, oooh speculation. 

Speculation, that's what we need.

stopped by a local shop this morning and turns out they are still using a freezer adorned with the 90's advertising poster of the lollys i would have been eating as a kid.

It's called a '66! i was close, check it out... 

Is that off Albany Road? 

Ze Germans have finally realised that Bum Bums are better when they're shared. The keen-eyed will also see that the Nogger has survived here.

Your colleagues share way too much... 

As scratchdj implied, the colleague is probably a work-shy little fucker and felt more comfortable saying he's going for yet another shit rather than yet another skive.

I don’t get the hate for pale chips, I really don’t.

Agreed. This could tear the forum apart.

I won't hear another word about it. 

A fresh remoulade and caper side salad wouldn't go amiss either, eh?

Queen are a joke shop moustache on the fab four's rock wall. 

While there has never been a band that comes close to the Beatles, I can name at least 10 Queen songs that are better than A Day in the fucking Life.
