HanoiVillan Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 55 minutes ago, MakemineVanilla said: The only fair basis to divvy up the prize money is how much revenue the sport earns from selling the broadcast rights. The amount of money a broadcaster is willing to pay will be based upon how much they can charge for advertising during that broadcast. The amount they are able to charge varies considerably and advertisers will have a very good idea of the size of the audience they can expect and charge accordingly. If the women want to play five sets to maximise the advertising and therefore their prize money, they should be allowed to do so - that would be fairness and that would be equitable. It's certainly one definition of fairness, but it's not the only definition of fairness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling at 8.30 am, I'd get a same day appointment 90% of the time. If not, it would ALWAYS be within a couple of days. Never heard of a fortnight (or more) wait. Postcode lottery I guess. EDIT: On the other hand, home visits are completely unknown. Edited April 4, 2016 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just rang to make an appointment and the soonest one available was 26th April. Now, it doesn't really matter because mine isn't massively urgent. But what if it was? A&E? Walk or clinic or request a home visit if you are really ill. Usually if you request a home visit, there will suddenly be an appointment open up that day at the surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Try calling 111, they've sorted me out before. They'll be able to tell by speaking to you how severe your symptoms are. If needs be, they'll find you a GP appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I only bought this house a year ago, and my **** roof is leaking. I can't afford a new roof. I don't even have a **** ladder tall enough to get into the loft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Job interview candidate cancels. Fair enough, arranged again for this Monday. Comes interview time, no sign of her, no phone calls. Phone her up, so are you coming for this interview or what? "Oh yeah, do you have many applications, is is worth me coming in." "..." **** off love. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 A client at work keeps sending me lists of telephone numbers, that have to be copied into a directory. Aside from the fact, I don't work in admin (which is also part of the reason it pisses me off), she insists on sending a screen shot of the numbers (from excel) instead of actually sending me the excel document, that I could copy and paste from. I wish I wasn't so ******* helpful, and just told her to mail the team that deals with that kind of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also 'MSN', great players, shit acronym/nickname thing. It's easier to sack workers in this country than almost every single other country on Earth. From the OECD's 2013 report on employment protection (0 represents no protection whatsoever for permanent workers against dismissal): The UK has one of the most deregulated labour markets in the entire world, that's simply a fact. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair few years old place sacked a guy who utterly useless, he was a black guy too, they kind of knew that it would be really hard to sack anyway and then assumed he'd kick up a fuss and potentially play the race card They put together a file on him for a month, recorded his internet use at work, private phone calls at work, tracked him every day signing in and out of the office, tracking how long he had on lunch, he worked on site too and they were doing that, unsurprisingly he had a day at week when he told site he was in the office and the office he was on site and was sneaking a couple of hours on the skive, going home early etc Slapped the file down in front of him and basically told him to **** off of his own accord or they'd have him anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've worked in places which have got rid of people easily but now working at a University it's a nightmare unless, it's a straight forward gross dismissal case. Even then it has to be done textbook. I suppose it is a good thing that workers rights are well protected, but you always have that waste of space that takes advantage and drags out the inevitable for as long as they possibly can.
