NJS 4405 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Liverpool st for starters then might do Mile End later - last time I was there we did go to that Edinburgh one. Been in the Queens a few times - it always symbolised how the place had changed as the first few (very dodgy) times I went there I didn't even notice there was a bar let alone consider going in there.

McFaul 35 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Liverpool st for starters then might do Mile End later - last time I was there we did go to that Edinburgh one.

The Queens is canny been in loads of times. If I was going today I'd have a pint at that big pub on the corner outside Liverpool Street. It's quality, gets a few Tottenham in sadly when they're at home though. 2 years since I've been in London, the longest time since I was 8, I know it like the back of my hand and I have to say where West Ham play is up there with the biggest shitholes, mind Tottenham is nee better.

Ended up stopping in the Hamilton Hall (the one you mention at Liverpool street) and getting a late tube which was late getting there so missed the KO - proper old school London style. Turned out to be a bit of a reunion - about 15 of us all from Shields. Some still go for the main part and a couple had just about given up like me. Sad to hear of a couple of tragedies - a mate's son died during his gap year and a lad I used to play football with had a heart attack and died this summer aged 46. Turns out even some lads who all still live in the NE had lost touch a bit over the last couple of years but football still binds us at heart. I also now have an invitation to go to the derby from a mate who has platinum club tickets so this comeback tour may have more legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13997 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Right, supposed to have someone coming today to fix a part of the house. Bloke says "I'll be there at half 9" so I get ready, get downstairs at twenty past to get the kettle on and there's a note through the door saying "Called 9.15" You can't just turn up early for something and then fuck off before the arranged time. I mean, I know he'll have other work on but he set aside two hours, from half 9, to do this work so he's only inconveniencing himself, surely? Being early is as bad as being late.

Thats taking the piss The bloke installing our internet was similar but had the courtesy to ring and see if we were available before just pitching up, we weren't so he came back when he was meant to. If you're not desperate for the work get someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Told my current place around a month ago that I would be leaving, I was just waiting for the usual pre-employment checks to clear. They finally cleared this week and I told my boss yesterday. Despite this he's still making me work my full two months notice and my new place are pissed off that I can't start any earlier. I don't want to burn my bridges with my current employer incase of any references or anything needed in the future. But I am feeling under pressure from my new employer to start earlier as what if they withdraw the offer of employment? Anybody been in a similar position to this?

ewerk 31124 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I take it that you didn't formally hand in your resignation a month ago? If not then you're really only beginning your period of notice now and if you're contractually obliged to serve two months notice then your employer is within their rights to exercise that option. Do they actually need you for two months though? If not then you could explain your position to them and hope that they see sense and let you away early.

Gemmill 45833 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Are you actually coming under pressure from the new employer or is that something that you're putting on yourself? Most places know the score and whilst they'll want you as soon as possible, they'll know that they need to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20620 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I told mine a few weeks ago that if I was working with that cunt I am leaving. Not really working for him, but still making work a pain in the arse. He;s dropped several big bollocks since I have come off his projects so it makes it sweeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33709 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Am having some real shit with my place as well. It's got to the stage I'm putting dates, times and conversations on my pc. I've gave them a bit of a bloody nose, they came back for more, I beat them again but now it's obvious they feel like I've put their noses out of joint and they're gunning for me. Wankers.

Inochi 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was formally made manager of my team, yesterday, having effectively occupied the role for the last year. Came with a significant pay rise. This doesn't help any of you, but it felt like a good opportunity to brag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to the stage I'm putting dates, times and conversations on my pc. I've gave them a bit of a bloody nose, they came back for more, I beat them again but now it's obvious they feel like I've put their noses out of joint and they're gunning for me. Wankers. One way ticket, shotgun, bottle of vodka, heavy metal on headphones (to drown out the screams). Sorted.
