  1. you have to ask her to re consider tell her the premises are temporary and you need somebody to help scout better offices in a good area tell her she's got the sort of spirit your office needs and you might be able to come to more of an appropriate arrangement re salary and expenses tell her it really would be most beneficial to all parties to get a face to face interview that really should bejust a formality when she arrives, you simply start the interview with: "ok love, pop your top off and we'll just make sure you're photogenic and not some lop sided freak, is there anything you won't do?"
  2. well there's the pedant debate: HM's should piss you off so it's off topic Then there's the fact that I know a fecktard that went away for stabbing somebody outside a football ground and wrote a book about it when he was released. A very sad individual with lots n lots of issues but unfortunately not so many as to prevent him breeding. Now a self styled debt collector and organiser within the EDL. Thoroughly nice chap with a decent IQ. I noticed you didn't appear to get 8pints wonderfully subtle joke.
  3. agree totally clamping and parking for a start then there's garage fees winter tyres
  4. The trouble is its not joined up. We have a government that has a Department trying to make it harder to get exams and degrees. We then have other government dpartments that are inflating what's needed to work for them. I know somebody that didn't have a degree, was working for one of the Ministries as a consultant and they loved his work and gave him more and more. Of the consultants doing this particular line of work he was picking the most work, whilst also charging just about the highest fees. But you get what you pay for. Right? Wrong. That Ministry then decided that to ensure quality, you weren't allowed to be a consultant without a degree. Didn't matter what grade, they didn't even specify any particular field. But you had to have a degree to be considered. So the guy performing best and getting the most work and earning the most fees because he was delivering results...was no longer eligible. Nuts.

  8. I can't believe there are people who didn't know about it to be honest. Really not sure if i'm falling for the largest well organised troll ever. Either way I'm definitely putting my hand under there tomorrow. you are not falling for anything at all friend, I've known about them for years and years, probably since I was about 10 or 11 the old myth when I first heard about them was that if you twisted them it made the lights change faster ha ha! that's exactly what my nipper told me! it's real, I have felt it
  9. pedestrians who presume the driver must have seen them, as they stand in the road with a low sun behind them, kamikaze style
  10. My uncle was on the books at Stafford Rangers, if he was playing, we watched them. If he wasn't playing, he took us down to Villa. Standing on that giant single ash terrace of the Holte was life changing. Earliest actual game memory I have is vs Notts Forest, from memory we won and it would have been around '73 I guess. Got hit in the face by a misplaced Ray Graydon shot once, he came over to check I was ok! Others around me went mental at him....but then I was in the away end. We won, but my dad had already explained the rules about cheering the away team when you were in the home end in 1974. It wasn't good etiquette.
  11. Are you all aware of the secret vibrating button under the pedestrian control box? I thought it was a myth! But now I have to touch it every time.
  12. interesting day for my other club today The Welsh FA are meeting to decide what, if any, league they will be in next season There has been a strange set up there for 10 years with the owner having no interest at all in the team and the whole of team affairs being run by a fan commitee. The owner lost interest shortly after picking up the club on the cheap when they went bust, he tried to sell it for random amounts of money (anywhere from £160,000 to £250,000 and at one point offered it for £5,000 a year forever as a sort of rental!) - but always changed his mind at the last minute. I think his own personal mental torture was that if somebody was prepared to buy it, then it was probably worth more than he was selling it for. It was quite a circualr tortuous place for the guy. Anyway, the self financing self running club was run by the suporters, they did all the admin and secretarial duties, appointed the manager, got sponsorship, bought the shirts and manned the gates. The club was 6th in Div 1 with 2 games to go and had an end of season awards ceremony in St Davids Hotel, Cardiff Bay with guest speakers Matt LeTis and Sol Campbell. The owner had a head fit, appointed himself the new secretary and phoned the FAW to tell them he was now secretary so he wanted to close the club down. The Welsh FA, being the sensible switched on progressive clued up guys that they are, did what he wanted. Strangely, this appears to have caused £12,500 of prize money (Welsh Cup semi finalists) to go missing. The FAW say they've paid out, it ain't in our football bank account. With two games to go (one later that evening with kits already set out on benches), the club was closed and their record expunged. There is a meeting today at the FA, with bank accounts showing solvency (even without the £12.5k), a petition from 1,250 supporters and proof the club was wholly run by the supporters right up until that phonecall. Part of the proof of who was running the club was the fact that the manager was 'sacked' by the owner back at Christmas. But the fans, the committee, the league and the Manager simply didn't recognise this and carried on regardless for a further 4 months until withdrawn from the league. Hopefully today the club is fully reinstated to League 1, worst possible result I can see is that they will be knocked back to division 3. In which case, we've lost a couple of years progress, but officially, legally, we will totally own our own club AND hold the franchise paperwork. Absolute fan ownership, for the people. So ts either a very good day, or a **** outstanding day as I see it.
  13. when I was on the Student Union I was responsible for organising one of the club nights in one of them discotheques All organised, all sorted, I arrived a bit early and got to drinking to settle the nerves. Went off waaaay to fast and was utterly faced very early on. I knew I was going to be very ill, didn't want to disgrace myself in front of my student chums so left at speed, flagged down a taxi, got it to take me home at double speed. Paid the driver jogged across the road, key in door and brain announced 'you can throw now'. With mouth full I shoulder charged the front door, giant stepped it up the stairs two or three at a time, kicked open the toilet door whilst already beginning the graceful chunder arc my mental maths told me would hit the lav. Unfortunately, my mum was on the lav. I know I've told it before, but it's my best story. My second best story is when I stole a milk float and ram raided it.

  18. I was never really upset with you over that dolphin fiddling stuff. (but I must admit I hadn't realised you were mid arguement in the main forum at the same time, you must have wondered wtf was going on!)
  19. I'd quite like two accounts (I tried it, admin were all over me like a cheap geek police suit), one of which would mostly be nasty reactionary me.
  20. oh, and cycling proficiency, back when that was proper hard.
