wondering if its a poo or fart your about to unleash

This is my life at the moment. Since Sunday had bad guts, at the moment I can't differentiate between whether it's coming out the back or front. Visually identical.

How do you turn the fcuking sack of sh*t olympics off? You can't move for it being rammed down your throat via every possible media outlet. Even the fcuking BBC news website (yes, that's news as in, things that may be reasonably important happening in the world, and not the fcuking sport/olympics site) is screwed today under the sheer weight of shite they're babbling about a load of mickey mouse "sports". Three quarters of the population couldn't give a flying fcuk about them, so why aren't the minority marginalised to the outer realms of broadcast and print media?

Even the BOC & Locog are no longer talking about how many medals they predict us winning. It's now "Give me great memories and not medals". Currently flying high at 21st in the medal table. So much for the golden generation and our most successful games ever. Proper return on investment, that.

Oh dear ,

This must go down as the best quote for a while

Don't be so impatient next time and still more to come.

You must like it just a little bit now

Ryan Giggs - captain of the Great Britain football team, cant be bothered to sing the national anthem whilst his goalkeeper next to him sings his heart out.

I'm sure his skills are playing football not singing. As long as you stand respectfully I don't see the big deal. I don't even know the words to that song other than when the title of the song is sung. He might be the same.

And there's the problem

GSTQ says 3 things to me.( I can't speak for Ryan Giggs)

England Teams (This is where it is heard the most by a country mile)
Some Rangers fans (with anti Irish sentiment)
A little sung verse about crushing Scots (Would you gleefully sing a song that had a line about murdering the English?)

Maybe if England teams didn't hijack it and it was kept as anthem for British events maybe it'd be easier to swallow for those outwith England.

New GM's first day today, she walks in and talks to me like I'm a piece of sh*t and tells me I'm not to park the Vx in the staff bays at work as it has illegal license plates (she used to work for the DVLA)... Yeah right love, I'll park where I want and the staff bays are the only place on CCTV! If she speeks to me like that tomorrow I'm going to walk out, have a couple of weeks off and find a new job.

[LY_Scott]

Sounds like she made a great first impression!

I can see this turning into a tribunal case..!
However, your employer has a liability to ensure you aren't doing anything illegal on company time and within company property as they have a duty of care, so claiming she wouldn't let you park on work property when you have got an illegal number plate is her right I'm afraid.
You don't however have to take any verbal abuse, if you think for a moment she is picking on you through prejudice of any kind (does she drive a battered old fiesta?) then as Siztenboots says, log everything with a note and date/time stamp, makes it extrememly difficult for the company to defend itself in the event you take them to the cleaners.

She may have been playing beach volley ball and have sand in her fanny


Just take the plate off, that will do her head in its not illegal then as not on the road.

Does this still matter if its a council owned carpark? Not many people know it is as its only for the golf course but we dont own it... a few bays say staff only but anyone can park in them as we have no right to claim them

Ah thats a good point too! Although i doubt i'll do much about this as the company looks like its going down the crapper anyway

I lived in West Africa for several years and we lived by the saying 'There's no such thing as a fart in Africa'. Always expect the worst.

Been waiting for a successful fart for the last week... all I get is the constant feeling of the need to - but knotted intestines say no.

I wouldn't go trying to be clever. You might end up looking the dick and I doubt you have the stomach or the finances for a tribunal either. Get a consensus with your colleagues about whats happening. You may just be getting upset over a personality difference and they may help you understand or laugh it off. Failing that ask her for two minutes of her time next week or something and tell her how you feel. She's just into a new job and although you think she's an arse she's maybe used to a different environment or have made assumptions about you. Be the bigger person. You can't get sacked for being reasonable. You are also a human before you're anyone's employee.

[Goosenka]

Give her some Joey love.

Yeah you make a good point, i suppose i should give her a week or two before i decide what im going to do... after then i can start being an arse and make things awkward

I wouldnt care but she made it personal by going after the VX ... just wait until she hears it pull up with the ITBs installed

Give her some Joey love.

Shes not getting any of my love... i wouldn't touch her with yours, let alone my own

[J4EY D]

Just read this after spotting your post on FB. I have honestly been surprised at how few 'deserters there has been'. Would expect the number of tourists to be 100x to 200x the number of competitors.
