Cannot get over it and never will, absolutely detest the bloke. Makes no logical sense but I cannot get my brain to think differently This. A piss poor journeyman footballer who probably can't believe his luck landing a media career, when many have studied for the same thing and can't get a break in the industry. He's not the only one....micky quinn, lescott, clinton morrison and most of all ian holloway. Dicks, all of them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which to them it's nothing but everyone I read it it's like a teenager stropping because they have been told to tidy their room. 7 hours ago, Stevo985 said: But the one that gets me (doesn't annoy me, just amuses me) is they use a phrase "Please do the needful" 5 hours ago, StefanAVFC said: 'Please revert' instead of 'please do it' Exactly the same with the offshore team in India that does my paperwork /legal documents for me. I regularly communicate with 10 or 15 different people over there and they all say the above. Another one is when I ask for something they respond with "Sure". It sounds sarcastic, like "Fine" but it really isn't. To be honest, since we outsourced the admin jobs to India, the speed and standard of work has improved dramatically. Still a few minor niggles but overall a far higher standard than the old UK team and far more professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, you get put in to pairs at random and get given a topic regarding wellbeing and mental health (exercise, financial security, nutrition etc.) You then have to go away and research your topic together, come back do a little presentation to the rest of the group. It sounds like my worst nightmare, I'm dreading it. Is it ironic that it's about wellbeing? There's a woman with anxiety shitting herself here. How ironic that a mental health wellbeing exercise is actually giving all the people with anxiety a bigger problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you’ve fallen in to the classic trap of obsessing that someone else’s business is the centre of your world. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
