  1. the hours is an interesting one Does it include 'on call' by any chance? Whereby you can grab sleep or rest periods but might be unlucky and get a busy night? Still destructive of morale and health, still shouldn't happen. But yes, I find it hard to believe that somebody regularly works a 90 hour week, as I heard on the radio recently, with 100 hours reported in several newspapers. I mean, just to state the obvious a 100 hour week is 14 hours per day every day of the week. I've recently clocked up a couple of 60 hour weeks and it physically and mentally smashed me. As for reike and homeopathy and all the other guff, let's see the figures. If it works, maybe keep it. I don't mean 'works' obviously, I just mean 'works'.
  2. please let the numbers be 3 10 please please
  3. Six months I put up with that sex robot as it got progressively less and less enjoyable. Six months. Then I realised there was a drain down plug.
  4. page 12 of the manual: troubleshooting problem 1.0 will not release my cock from type 3000 sani vaj receptacle solution - unit will need to be returned to manufacturer I may have given this subject too much thought.
  5. Our first VCR used to snap shut and take your finger tips off. I will not be an earlier adopter of sex robots.
  6. right wing mouthpiece news organ Planned changes to tax credits scrapped. Not tweeked or phased in or explained or cushioned or any of that rubbish. Just not doing it now.
  7. I cook my own food and sleep one eye at a time.
  8. Tony, I can see why little countries bordering Russia would want to have american troops stationed there. Absolutely. I bet Ukraine wishes they'd been a bit quicker off the mark. Georgia too. By that same measure, I can see why Russia decided it would grab Crimea before the americans did. Again, absolutely not right. Absolutely corrupt. Putin is a psycho, and I think I mean that literally. But you have a country there that has a victim mentality as part of its national psyche.
  9. I'm just hoping that one win will be like some hollywood film revelation and our team of plucky disabled kids will blossom in confidence and throw off their calipers and compete with the others. But for the very first time ever, I think this really is it. I actually looked at the Championship table on the weekend to see what ground were near me for some trips out.
  10. Without going all lefty on this, it is possible to see how Russia can feel like a victim of NATO here. We are constantly told NATO is a defence. Would it look like that if you were the other side of, da'fence? NATO members include: Albania Bulgaria Croatia Czech Rep Estonia Hungary Latvia Lithuania Poland Romania Slovakia Slovenia Turkey here's a picture of some american troops: But yes, it's Russia that's always 'flexing its muscles'. I'm not saying anyone here is innocent. But given a few hundred years of Russian history. I can see how they might have a different view of the world.
  11. I tried that one MJ but he's not having it. Something to do with WW1 starting in the summer of 1918 and being over in a couple of months. Don't know what he's on about.
  12. If you can get yourself to a point where you have two real written job offers you can be quite straight with both companies. Tell the lower offer company that you'd love to take the job but someone else has offered more, and you unfortunately can't turn down more money. Very often, for the sake of a slight uplift, they'd rather pay you more than go through the grief of looking for someone else again.
  13. this is exactly my policy! look at all these different ones.... (there'll be a couple more next week to add to my collection of Lee Perry dub remixes re released in basically black n white sleeve designs) this was just an excuse to post a picture I already had
  14. My nipper has started her first part time job - first paypacket and £1.35 was auto deducted and put into a pension - only another 53 years to go to see how that investment turns out. For my part, various policies mean I'm worth considerably more dead than alive. Financially, the ideal scenario for my family is that I die in a plane crash on my way to a meeting at some point in the next 6 months. Be like a lottery win for 'em.
  15. Whereas the reasoning behind this war is logical and justified? Take out 'royal families' and substitute with 'royal families. dictatorships and superpowers' and I'm struggling to see the difference. Years and years of ignorance and petty squabbling with everyone in treaties against everyone else and no two neighbours liking each other with no care for the consequences for 'the people'. Our relationship now with Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the EU, NATO, Crimea, Ukraine.....I'd say that was complicated enough. Russia needs a harbour on the coast of Syria, but also needs sanctions lifted because of Crimea. The Saudi's and Qatari's appear to be funding a death cult. We tried to impose democracy on Egypt but didn't like who they voted for. USA claim not to like what Israel is doing but invest billions in their military. We piled in to Iraq as liberators then left, then went back in, then left. Libya was just bizarre. Germany gave an open invite to refugees from another continent having told their partners Greece there wasn't money to help them. So Greece has adopted an open border policy - that's gone well. I'd say there are parallels in the ridiculously poor strategies vs disastrous egos game.
  16. The worry for the light blue Labour brigade is de-selection. As a really crude estimate, there are usually around 400 Labour Party members in each and every constituency. Of those, typically, less than 50 will be active. The Corbyn election period saw about 20% added to Labour's membership. Or to put it another way, about 60 to 80 new members per constituency. Sixty new members helping decide who will be the MP at the next election, when you usually deal with the same dozen students and group of pensioners is a concern for some of these MP's. All those figures are my rough n ready estimates from total membership stats etc., It's also what I hear locally, the candidate in waiting here as openly moaned and groaned about Corbyn. He's lost the last two elections in a very uninspiring manner. There has been a spike in membership locally. Best of luck!
  17. My distant memory of history lessons suggests World War 1 was quite complicated?
  18. Just to defend the police for a minute here and bring some common sense into this. I've looked at pictures of this kid and he's clearly a bit brown. I can't work out why they didn't just shoot him and push the gun into his cold dead hand, after being taped giving him a good kicking.
  19. .....followed by 75,000,000 Turks walking to Greece.....
  20. Washington Post To be fair, if he asked me to take that clock on holiday to Egypt with me, I'd be reticent. I have no idea if $15 million dollars is close to the going rate in USA legal terms. Don't people sue for billions because someone's dog looked at them funny, or the coffee was hot or their lard burger had fat in it? That's my mental picture of america.
  21. There has been a recent incident with a russian submarine in UK waters too. We asked the French and the Canadians to help us look for that one - as somehow we don't currently have any maritime patrol aircraft of our own due to them being cut up and sold for scrap. In other totally unrelated news, the office of Prime Minister is to have it's own jet. It will be a RAF A330, refitted at a cost of £10 Million.
