It looks like a fake comedy TV trial like Judge Rinder or Judge Judy. Depp is laughing his head off. The cross examination and questioning is hilariously bad too. It’s very bizarre. Was about to say it does seem abit like judge rinder. Heard just like a psychopath i dont know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand all of the background, and I'm probably being fed one side of the story by youtube algorithms etc, but Heard's lawyers seem to be consistently making a fool of themselves. I watched a 20 minute video of them questioning a psychologist and it was pretty much constantly them saying "Do you agree that X shows Y?" and her replying "I do not agree" "Isn't it true that you said this?"" "No, that's not true" "And doesn't this show that he is this and she is that?" "No it does not" "and didn't you say that this happened then?" "No I did not" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did three years as a programmer in a software house/bureau (servicing the London reinsurance market), and then moved to Bradford Uni - where I stayed for 28 years, until retirement. Meanwhile, my wife (also in IT, but in the private sector) changed jobs a few times, being made redundant twice. I had security of tenure and guaranteed annual pay rises through a fixed scale system, so it made sense for me to stick where I was. Plus, my roles changed enough over the years to keep things interesting - programmer, systems analyst, database designer, trainer, project manager, etc. Most of my colleagues were great (one or two dickheads, but that's inevitable), to the point that some became lifelong friends. Unfortunately, I think that scenario is pretty much gone in today's ruthless hire and fire world. I've been in my current job for 21 years albeit there have been 3 different company names on the office door. There are a fair few of the original guys knocking about though it's thinned out over the last couple of years but mainly by retirement. There are far more 15 yearers about from the second version though or newbies as I call them. Current office is an amalgamation of 3 different companies and some of the other entities have more long timers. It's helped that all 3 companies were at the core good companies, well run and quality outfits that were about the best in the business and people were happy to work for, especially good people. I've been incredibly lucky because the journey has been from a single office privately owned company to a large national company basically acquiring those kind of operations to a global mega corporation (but actually ultimately still family owned and feels like it) so I've essentially been in the right place at the right time each time. Unless there are major changes I can see a number of people making 30 - 40 years. Edited May 2, 2022 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 My dad had bought him one of these Happy Birthday wishes you can get online, it was Andy Gray. I thought at first it'll be all informal wishing happy birthday and that was it. But Gray was great in the short video you get. Wished happy birthday from Dubai, mentioned my dad's name and spoke about the 1974 Cup final for about 3 minutes, saying he knew my dad was there ( you can give info prior to booking) and what a day it was, all quite touching. Not sure they would all be like this, but seemed very personal from Andy Gray, was a great gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically whichever is cheapest. First year we got Marcus Bent. He was absolutely shit and the video even cut out halfway through and he'd obviously not even bothered checking. Year after we did Paul Parker and he was brilliant. Read the sort of script we gave him, ad lib'd a bit and was great. Both hilarious in their own way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) People ways talking about terrible 80's fashion and in particular shell suits. At Villa Park on Saturday I saw this lad walking away from the ground in the most ridiculous track suit that was every bit as bad as any shell suit I ever saw. Walk around the streets or shops and you'll see hundreds of people wearing marl grey joggers and various other awful looking "sportswear" How are people going to look back at the 2010's - 2020's and talk about the fashions?

I think that's just timeless chav fashion. I wore that shit throughout my schooldays in the 90s until I went to 6th form and everyone had to start wearing jeans to be cool. I suppose the thickos that didn't go on to further education stayed in their chav gear. I sound a bit of a snob, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousins fellas Sunday best clobber will be a marl grey lacsoste tracksuit, cp company or the like tshirt and a pair of Nike something or others To me it looks like teenagers clothes but it's probably pushing £400 worth, it's not cheap stuff The likes of Hugo boss are getting more and more in to it, was looking earlier and one caught my eye because it was a nice colour, £310 tracksuit with a matching £80 tshirt and £100 bumbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
