    What the fuck?

    Don't get me wrong, I do think my council needs a reorganisation, loads of departments doing the same thing and people who came to work on a project 10 years ago, they didn't have the skills for what came next so they added to them rather than replaced or upskilled current workforce (huge amounts of that), and even when the out of date person left they replaced them as it was a vacancy (lots of that too). But it's still people losing their jobs and that's shit, and I think they need to respect that. My Director has a bit of a love in for health and safety at the moment, so I'm asking to be put on a couple of more health and safety courses, I already have two and am the most qualified in my department but could help. Daft bastard put someone with no qualifications in charge of it (who I then had to explain HASWA 74 to) but I think that would get wiped in a re-org.

    Yeah every sector is fucked really. Public sector is skint, and political parties say they will cut staff to get votes, Charities are fucked becasue donations are down, costs are rising, small businesses can't cope with rising costs (also members of the public don't understand why people who work 40 hrs a week are paid for working at a charity) and people wanting to buy as cheap as possible and big companies see all that's happening and take advantage. If there are no jobs to go to in these other sectors, we'll rinse you. I honestly don't think I'd give a fuck about my restructure if I thought I'd pick up a job within weeks or I thought my payment would be good (around £7,300 I think). Some people in my team would get around £40k to fuck off, and I think they'd take it if offered, so not surprised they seem less worried. Can I also say why do senior managers say while there is the risk of redundancy we have to look at the chances for growth and development are there. Fuck off you utter twat! Do they actually think they don't sound like a prick?
  4. The most he will serve is 50% of his sentence. I think he will be out before that mind.
  5. I love Mario Kart World, but it took me a while to get my head round it. I'd also say it's quite different to 8 and having both isn't a bad thing, I swap between the two. I didn't think much of Bananza though. It's alright but didn't really feel bothered about not finishing it.
  6. Wonder seems to have split opinion. I felt it was brilliant, had very old school Mario elements but with the added wonder seeds, which I loved. Also not a super hard game but challenging which is a hard balance but they got it right.
  7. Mr Perfect, turned up at the Rumble, got to the final 3. Then has house show matches with RVD and Lesnar, then within weeks he's then doing tag matches on house shows and Sunday night heat jobbing. Then he got on a plane and he was gone. Then had a few months in TNA and died about a month after his final match (against David Flair).
  8. TNA probably has a shit tonne of these. Road Warriors turned up in TNA to make the save and then tagged with Jarrett and Dusty Roads. Randy Savage made a few appearances then does nothing in his 1 matches until the last 30 seconds, not seen again. Both were probably for the best.
  9. I don't really understand that rap? Was he supposed to be the good guy? The bad guy? Funny? The crowd seemed utterly dead, and I'm not surprised. Think I've heard better rapping from P.N News.
  10. Anybody been to the last two shows? Wondering if they got good attendances. Hoping they put the full shoes up on YouTube.

    My workplace just has a lot of unhappy workers who can't leave. My team was 6 down at one point but it's down to 4 as one position was filled by someone on a fixed term contract (who's original contract ended this month), one more recruited and we will try and fill one more. But we've been at least 4 down for about 12 months. The full team is 16. Another 2 year fixed term will leave next month, so not a vacancy but a smaller team. We were supposed to be given a draft of our new structure this month. Been told it will be another 12 months. As the council is doing a wider one, which was announced nearly 6 months ago but only now decided to delay. Honestly you do wonder if directors have any idea how workers feel and the unsurity it all brings.
  12. I never realised what a posh tart James Blunt was, and I never thought he could make me dislike him more. Fair play to him that he's managed to do it.
  13. You can look at Steve Clarke's early results, awful. I think the 3-5-2 has to go though. I don't think our centre backs are good enough to not have full backs support them and our full backs aren't suited to being wing backs. I imagine the manager has little knowledge of many of the players and he'll make adjustments base on this. Hopefully plays Curtis and Doak as wingers in front of full backs. I think you are also seeing how reliant Scotland are on McTominay for goals, and how reliant on the midfield for goals they've been for a while. The highest scoring players for Scotland in that squad are McGinn and Christie. They aren't getting any younger and Ferguson and Gilmour don't pose much of a goalthreat. You've then got McTominay and Adams out injured, and even Dykes. I'm not convinced by the three strikers that played, Bowie probably deserves more time but I don't think Ure is ready yet, and McBurnie has reminded me why he wasn't at the world cup.

    So my in-laws, who own a shop that does printing/embroiding on sports clothes and work/school uniforms plus engraving, had issues like this all the time. They were scared to put a short notice price on them in case people went elsewhere. One member of staff didn't give a fuck and kept on saying that's a short turn around so will be a 10% fee. More often than not people paid it as they were in a rush and didn't want to shop around, some just agreed to have it a few days later (so didn't actually need it that quick anyway). In the end they went that route and if they did lose some custom they just realised they didn't have to work through the weekend for bugger all profit. The sad thing is that people think that because you buy something for £20 then that's £20 profit, when there is buying the item, vat and staffing costs.
