I've only been to watch boxing once and it was Prince Naseem losing his title by getting absolutely paddled by Marco Antonio Barrera. It was in the MGM in Vegas so there was no bother (not enough English there), but I got my fill of fight-attending boxing fans that night.

I'd take them to Cosy Joe's for a spot of karaoke tbh. Rather than taking them to a scrapping event attended by Byker's biggest fight fans. Lllllllllllllllet's get ready to rrrrrrrrumblllllllllllle!

No one journo has said "aye but he was a bit of a cunt a lot of the time wasn't he?" No matter how much he embarrasses them. Maybe we have to wait til he's gone for them to grow a pair. -
Never heard of them, but the venue they're using looks alright: Bournemouth people will enjoy those fairy lights and the screen looks just about big enough.

Aye, sounds very similar to our place. Our Finance team is wall to wall arseholes and I took over some of their work last year cos they were cry arseing on about how it shouldn't really be theirs and it was taking them 6 hours a day and they were doing weekends and bank holidays to get it finished. So fucking Muggins gets it by order of our twat of a CEO and genuinely within a couple of weeks, it was less than a half hour job. They don't want it back now that it's fixed, they just wanted it off their plate and couldn't give a fuck if it was me doing weekends and bank holidays, as long as it wasn't them. I'm not saying this to try and sound impressive, what I'm saying is why the fuck should I get handed that shit sarnie and then be expected go back asking for more stuff to do. Especially when the context for all of us is that if they could find a piece of software that would do our jobs quicker and cheaper than us, they'd fuck us off straight away. Maybe that is the difference that KD is referring to.

I get all my stuff done but I wouldn't say I'm flat out all day. But it's cos I've put loads of time into working out how to make my life easier by automating things. Like a report that would have taken me half a day, now taking me 20 minutes, things like that. But you just don't tell people that it now takes 20 minutes - they don't care, they get their report regardless and I get time to automate something else or to piss about. I'll be back to square one at the new place for a bit, but I'll be looking to do the same thing again over time. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. Only an idiot would keep going back and asking for more work to fill their day if they're already doing what's asked of them. I work with people who are fucking shite at using the tools at their disposal and have no interest in getting better at it cos "this is the way it works for me". They're the ones still online at 7 at night.

Aye I'm expecting a bounce in the polls here. Gullis to take over from Raheem Sterling as the face of Gillette.
