That sounds dangerously like tactics you're talking about there.

I'm not saying it's an accurate representation of redundancies etc and I didn't sign up to twitter till a couple of years ago but...... You do see the odd post asking if anyone knows of any work because they've been made redundant and when they give their experience it doesn't involve producing/manufacturing etc. I'm just wondering if the shit hits the fan, companies are going to start looking at who they actually need to bring in the pennies and sometimes it can come down to a 'Does he/she need to be covered if they're off?' If the answer is no then I'd think that covers a few of the jobs people are looking for who have been finished recently. As an example, was driving to work this week and for a change didn't listen to music. R5 were speaking to a poor lass who's been made redundant three times since covid, took three different types of jobs on but they were all, for want of a better word, office type jobs and a certain skill set, (which I haven't got myself), but as she was talking about what she has done and what she wants it was noticeable that certain types of jobs are obviously under more threat at the minute whereas in years gone by manufacturing was decimated, (and could still get worse, cough, Brexit, cough) but some of the jobs I'm seeing under threat now are a little different. (Just an observation, not saying everyone is only like me, PL and big Dave who works in a garage somewhere).

Rag and bone!

I've worked from home since 2004 and I'm frankly teed off with all these johnny-come-latelies who've suddenly jumped on the bandwagon

"Wus have got it sorted"

Middle management has already been culled up and down the country at my place. Probably for the best like, they were all fucking workshy piss-artists who took 3 days to reply to anything unless it was to get us to attend some webinar about PRODUCTIVITY

Rayvin has a name you know.

Saw Dave earlier, mentioned something about the flight to Belfast tomorrow night & some jumped up leprechaun taking liberties?? Not sure what he meant but said he'd be back after weekend for the whippet race Wednesday

I find it's difficult to run a printing company without one

Its true and its gone on fuckin decades before Covid..." You know what its like, you get to the office and...etc etc" some fresh faced media type will simper into a camera...well actually mate , no I fuckin don't, I'm changing an effluent pump or putting new filters on the grey water system this morning, not sat at a desk whingeing about how cold the office is like an entitled wanker when the settings are at 23 degrees and all that's required is the application of a fuckin cardigan...

Mind, if we're talking media overrepresentation, at least it's easy for me and my partner to work from home because we're the only people in the country who aren't also home-schooling.

I'm not making out it's a tiny number of the metropolitan elite . I'm well aware loads of people work in the office, I'm also aware loads don't which doesn't come across as much in the radio/television media. (Was going to say MSM but I'll give Gloomy a break).

Are any millennials unfamiliar with the traditional mild Anglo Saxon insult "pillock"?? From the Norwegian for "penis" apparently...used a lot im my youth but not heard for many years until this week...

Please use spoilers as I haven’t seen Contagion yet.

Now I've thought a bit, he'll probably think Joelinton on the left is a good way for him to get his mojo back. Or to find it at all.

I'm the daft twat with £150 worth of power supply powering two multi effects units which each come with their own plug.

Sounds like David Baddiel’s new book will be worth reading for those who still struggle to accept that there was antisemitism in the Labour Party https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-jews-don-t-count-to-the-anti-racists-

Let's hope there's not too many of us destined for the "B" Ark.

Strongly suspect you're right there. In a way it makes sense even aside from the Covid/Brexit impact - if employers are realising they don't necessarily need as much office space as they thought, the logical next step is to look at what else (i.e. who else) they thought they needed but don't.

You mean you need a fancy printer?

Fyi 53% > 47% Best regards A.N. Ignored-Manualworker You enjoying Steph's Lunchbox today mate?

'Now we're all getting used to working from home' Pre-covid: 'how do you do.....[whatever].....in the office?' There's loads of these types of examples on the radio/television as well as the above summer house stuff. The BBC basically thinks that their news audience all comes from a certain part of the population, a certain part of the population that amazingly reflects themselves and the people they mix with. Vast majority of people I know or work with don't work from home or in an office but you wouldn't know it from the BBC's slant on the British workforce. It's not a big deal in the scheme of things but I do sometimes think, 'Who are you talking to here?' because most times it isn't me they're referring to nor most of the people I know. They have no real knowledge of the rest of the workforce, no real idea and their ignorance comes across quite regularly in this subject. Now put this in context when any dispute between a company and their employees happens and it sticks out a mile even in the way where sometimes they don't even know the correct questions to ask or how to approach the subject. Anyway, going slightly off topic but I'm basically calling them middle class, office based wet farts who haven't a fucking clue.

It's a fucking disease, isn't it?

The main strength of it is that if you've got one distributor you can power up to 6 isolators, which allows you to power up to 24 pedals. It's modular so you can add/take away as needed. Obviously the cost adds up buying isolators at 50 quid a pop, but if you've got that many pedals on your board you're probably fucking loaded and an idiot anyway.

Wait until you spot the second dog.

You'll never win anything with kids

Lot of them about

I say pillock loads.

Leaving the kid out is the easy option.

FYP

This - and if only track and trace had been similarly handled eh ? Bastards called it NHS track and trace which it wasn't Of course vaccination programme isn't called what it is i.e NHS vaccination

Decent lunchtime read/watch....the ref resigned after this, didn’t pick a whistle up again...good late period Gazza & B. Laudrup skills..

Fuck Off.

The disrespect over these last two pages is getting out of control. I’ve no problem with Newcastle fans criticising our manager… except when they criticise him. I’ve been on this board for over 500 posts criticising managers, so I’m experienced, and I never make excuses, but give him a break- the bloke is being strangled by his own chins. Can we just roll our sleeves up and dust our selves down? Wibble
