is this a reaction to the oral sex posts or the Sean Connery posts? (he's a bit old in the tooth but not THAT bad - Sean Connery that is!)

Seems to me that Tony Blair will knight anyone - even a wife-beating tax exile

[SteveT]

Any wife beating tax exile certainly gets my vote for a knighthood. It demonstrates huge sensitivity, generosity, and being an all round good egg. The more cynical might say it is because they are both Scots, but I would never say such wicked stuff.

What happened to modesty?

I've just watched an inane game show where the contenstants applauded themselves each time they got a question right. Furthermore, footballers who are paid handsomely to score goals would soar in my estimation if they just quietly acknowledged their skill and didn't play silly buggers afterwards.

[rifleman harris]

People who go to the theatre only go there because they can't afford a telly.

[KalamityKel]

How you figure that?

[rifleman harris]

Just joking ;-)

[annaj]

Ggrrrrrr.

I am so fed up with having an office right next to the corner by the bins where everyone goes to smoke and gossip (classy) even though smoking is banned on the whole site. And having centrally controlled heating, so I have to have the window open and the smoke drifting in or I'll boil. My hair stinks, my clothes stink, I feel sick and it's pissing me off.

[KalamityKel]

Chuck a bucket of water out of the window ;-)

[Brendan]

Throw something at them it'll make you feel better.

For a bit anyway.

[annaj]

Tempting, but ground floor office.

[Moos]

Probably won't make any difference in the real world but worth saying - have you spoken to HR? Seems a bit out of order that you should have to sit in a hot smoky room - even pub workers don't have to do that these days!

I am further grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd with a particular "chain" restaurant for neglecting to follow the law. Firstly I was dragged, wot felt like, half way across the world at a ridiculously early hour the other day to grab my personal licence as a particular building was found to be operating without a DPS or even a personal licence holder on the premises. Out of the kindness of my heart I offered to temporarily be named the DPS until a long term person is found.

Now this may not sound too bad but I was happy doing "stuff" before all this happened and it kinda put a dampner on the whole thing. AND as mentioned I had to be travelling at a ridiculously early hour to meet an application deadline. On VERY little sleep I was not a happy bunny.

Further to this, it has now been highlighted that none of the Managers on the site are PLHs and have very little knowledge about what one really is... the sale of alcohol is put on hold until they can locate someone... I don't mind so much offering to stand in temporarily but I don't get extra pay or perks for the additional responsibilty. I would also expect the offending company to know what they are doing.

I am completely amazed that a large, experienced food/restaurant company can operate in a fashion where they place managers in locations without proper qualifactions and such. Also, makes me think where else this problem is in operation!!!! (6)

God I hate Smart-Alecs who have good memories and can do that internet linking gubbins thing.

[Ant]

I fucking hate Balafuckingmory. They're the sort of cunts who'd change a perfectly good fairy tale to remove any trace of danger, who'd cleanse life of risk or consequences, who'd make kids run a race and then declare them all winners. GRARGH! They are wrong beyond fucking wrong.

And yes, I know there's an off switch. But that's not the point. Fuck off.

The fucking swear-filter fucking killed my cuntingfuckpostbollockswank.

RANT: I HATE SAFFERS!

I have just returned from a really great working trip in Krakow. The sun was out, 33 degrees, the people I took on holiday were from Liverpool and delightful, not to mention raucously funny. Even the trip to Auschwitz went without a hitch. I got to spend lots of time relaxing and people watching and revelling in the polish way of life.

So eventually the tour came to an end and I had to return, I was quite pleased as I missed Mr VBC and couldn?t wait to see him after a week away.Got back to the UK all good and still in that good ?holiday mode? (despite actually being at work).

So on Friday I practically skipped to work, the sun had followed me from Poland and I was really excited to see all my friends. I got to my bar in Claam and got on with prepping for the night, we had a big engagement party in....

[VeryBerryCherry]

? We had an engagement party in and there were about 40 people. We?d arranged and they had paid for the room upstairs. However, on arrival, they proceeded to dump all their work/shopping bags in the front of the main floor downstairs and crowd around the smallest, narrowest part of the bar area and they firmly ensconced themselves there for the most of the night as well as spreading themselves out in the space upstairs too. Now, we are a typically long and thin bar with a large outside area in the front and seating along a wall inside at the back. This meant that every time a food order came for outside, I had to ask them all to move, as politely as I could through gritted teeth. They eventually moved out of the way, only to promptly move back to their original space! When they finished their drinks, they traipsed outside and dumped the glasses. So in order to clean up the mess (and they made a fuck load of it) we had to keep going back and forth through this troupe of twats.

Then as the night progressed, they got louder and ruder, shouting orders over the bar, barging past other customers in order to get served. I wouldn?t behave the way they did in my own house, never mind in a bar in public. Jumping over sofas, being rude to staff and other people. And then asking, ?We?re going to go upstairs?? (Thank fuck - YEAH!) ? ?Could you get one of your little waitresses or waiters to take our drinks orders for the night?? ? Err no! We have only 3 people on a Fri night and a bar/garden full of people. They ordered food and let me wander around shouting whose it was, I ASKED them, they said no and then watched me walk all around our bar and back again, before telling me to put it down on the table now!

Then at about 11pm the screeching started! Not the normal raucous banter, but literally screeching at the top of their voices in Afrikaans. Not just talking loudly, but actually letting out banshee like screeches out of nowhere and lots of ?EHHHHHHH CUZ?? ?EHHHHHHHH BRAIIIIIIII? and grabbing at us over the bar in order to take a drinks order from them, snatching the card machines, throwing drinks over the bar etc?

There was so much more, but I can?t even begin to write it all down, it?s making me even more angry thinking about it. I have worked in a lot of bars and dealt with a lot of shit in my time, but have never been treated so abominably and demeaning-ly as by this group of people. I can take all sorts of shit from people but this group were the biggest load of pretentious, up-themselves, knobbers!!!!

I hate the Saffers and I hope they NEVER set foot in our bar again!

(And I?m one? well ? of one)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I trust Brendan is excluded from your rant. He's a perfect gent.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

Haha my thought exactly!

Sounds like en masse they may a bit of a nightmare!

[VeryBerryCherry]

Yes,

It excludes all my relatives, Saffer friends and forumers who are nice and funny.

The rest: CAN FUCKING WELL GO TO HELL!

>:D<

[Brendan]

Luister cherry, are you going to carry on messing with that computer or are you going to go fetch the 3 brandy and coke I ordered?

[VeryBerryCherry]

"Hoesit, my brah!... Ag, no man"

[Brendan]

Ag no indeed.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Isnt it lively to see 'Boks actually communicating, who'd of though that this was possible?
