He asked me to contact him via Telegram, completely fine with that its just an app. Anyway. My boss has seen that I have Telegram and immediately started sending me “funnies”. The funnies have now morphed into soft porn. This is beyond irritating. My grandson has access to my phone, my google pictures are open to my daughter and my wife and I have pictures set to auto upload. I am **** livid. So now I contact my mate and tell him its text or nothing. Your boss sending you unwanted soft-core porn via social media seems like a huge issue to be honest.

Given that it's both very serious and is (quite reasonably!) upsetting you, it might be time to consider remedies. Does your company have an independent HR department that you can address the matter to? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t massively above me and not in a hire and fire position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got different questions about Italy, longest river, lakes, mountains, language, currency, population etc Theres something quite sad about google, and children using it for this. I suppose years ago it would have been encyclopedia, atlases etc. Which is kind of similar but much more challenging and enjoyable I think. It feels like you'll never need to memorise any of these sort of things as presumably youll always have google on you? The national curriculum changed a few years back and in 2019, Ofsted completely revamped how they judge schools and placed a massive importance on knowledge. A lot of schools now have adapted their curriulculum to focus on key knowledge and often use knowledge organisers at the start of units. I'm not a fan of Ofsted but they carried out an incredible amount of research when making their changes and a lot of it makes sense. A lot linked to working memory and long term memory to help kids with their learning. Quite interesting really.

Davkaus Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I certainly think there's something in the idea that books are better for absorbing knowledge than the internet, in certain circumstances. Reading is reading, but I think the key difference is that when you're pouring through books for information, you have to scour through, reading more content to find the information you need. On the internet, you can google it and have the relevant text highlighted for you. I think it's similar to how people tend to retain information better when it's written down rather than typed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: they didn’t send us 2 jars of jam with one being a replacement for 6 eggs. They sent us the jar we ordered and 12 eggs as substitution for the 6 that were out of stock. Must have been a mix up by whoever was doing the picking scanning the wrong item. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start your speakers once they go to bed. Position them towards or under their bedroom. Leave them on at full blast. Ideally with Tattoo not gonna get us or Hanson Brothers with mmmbbbbbop. Go for a walk. Come back in 4 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the coldest I’ve ever been in my life. We came back from 3-1 to 3-3 which meant it was heading for extra time. A little bit of me was pleased when Danny Murphy scored a late, late winner as it meant we could get in the warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
