Today I'm angry about.....

[Gary the Enfield]

Why is this on Nat's Wiki page?!

"FA Cup controversy

On 3 May 1958, almost five years to the day after losing the 1953 final, Lofthouse captained Bolton in the 1958 FA Cup Final against Manchester United, who three months earlier had been involved in the Munich air disaster. Against a national wave of sympathy for United, Bolton won the game 2–0 with Lofthouse scoring two goals, the second of which was highly controversial and remains a talking point to this day. Lofthouse went into a challenge with the United keeper Harry Gregg and barged him into the net to score as shoulder charging the goalkeeper was a legitimate tactic at the time."

It was controversial 'cos it wasn't legitimate

Twas a foul, which makes it all the better

Yes, but Pru's point was the contradiction between saying it was controversial and saying the tactic was legitimate - if it was legitimate there should be no controversy, if it was a foul it shouldn't be a goal. At least I think that was what he meant - one never knows with kids these days.

Why don't you twitter him. Innit.

Facebook is good for perving at pictures.....but useless in every other way. And some people must have no friends, so they bore the rest of us (well, you, I got shut of mine) with pointless updates on their kids/toilet habits.

As for wikipedia - read the Blackpool Muckers page, which was no doubt written by some spotty youth with an erection for Danny Dyer

what the feck are you on about?

Don't worry Bish; you are not alone here. I've no idea about, or interest in this spaceface twatter thingy. If I want to contact a friend I usualy phone 'em. Or, as we are in the 21st century, an e mail from time to time.

yeah, just for darkies and queers all that shit?

FFS, it really irritates me how some folk can be so close-minded about these things. Social networking is the future, embrace it.

And you accuse me of being close minded!??? I understand it if you think that I embrace such an attitude because you think I maybe of a certain age which would lead me to speak like that, ("well it was allright in 70's "); and if that's your point, then it is not only juvenile but wrong, and I am extremely angry at the insinuation. My point is, I like to speak to my friends, I dont neeed a phone or laptop permanantly in my possesion to inform them what I'm doing.

Well I can't be arsed relying to that on my phone, but you wanna get a grip.

I dropped my trusty no MP3/No camera/No internet/No "apps" phone down a grid the other day. Fished it out, stuck it under the hotlamps for 1/2 hour, no probs.

Thats a real mans phone for you. Gadget phones are for gayers. Or something.

I actually like my everything under the sun phone thank you very much!!!!!! Not that i use half of it much but at least its "there just in case"

Any way facebook and twiter noobs should be shot after being hung drawn and quatered, some of the half wits at work were bleating about some one finding out a secret or some thing they were up to turns out one of the pillocks had it on F/book

[Lord Kangana]

Facebook is f*cking ace for that.

Got a call the other day at 5am, breakfast chef had phoned in 'sick'. Dragged myself out of bed after 3 hours sleep and covered it. Then when the Sous Chef arrived he told me that said breakfast chef had updated their status to "I'm p*ssed and have to be at work in a few hours" (he even showed me on his gay gadget phone) at 1am.

Final written warning followed.

exactly the same here...

We had an "interim" minister working at one of the churches where I have oversight.. she was supposed to be presenting the findings of some work she had done to an annual (and quite important) church meeting - the very piece of work for which she was employed...

on the morning she rang the secretary to say she was crippled with a bad back...

later that evening I spotted her fb status where she was bragging about being at a choir rehearsal for a choir that was doing some backing vocals for Ray Davies at Glastonbury - half an hour into the meeting she was supposed to be at...

social networking is a dangerous game - especially if you forget exactly who you have added to your friends list...

Well then your Sous chef is a w*nker

[Lord Kangana]

How so?

And to avoid a Caps-like trap, the Sous chef is part of the managament structure.

I just imagine him to be like "aaww.. I'm tellin!"

There's people like that at our place.. The management don't trust them. They may 'appreciate' the heads up, but they'll never trust a grasser and they'll never get anywhere in their career whilst they do it (they don't know this though, they think it'll show them in a good light). I'd rather see my team sticking up for one another than playing one-upmanship.

Although, I didn't know a sous chef was part of management structure, so in that case.. Fair enough

[Lord Kangana]

Regardelss, and I don't know how other workplaces are, but if as a team of chefs you haven't got each others backs the whole lot falls apart very quickly. We work 15/16 hour days in a very hot and tense atmosphere. We're not kids, if you phone in sick you'd better be sick or dead, because otherwise the rest of us have to pick up your work. And, again, I don't know how other places work, but we have immediate non-transferable deadlines. I doubt the wedding party we had in overnight would have said "well, f*ck it, its only breakfast we can do without". So theres only one w*nker here.

[Dujon]

Hear, hear, Lord Kangana.

A team that works together, no matter its size, is a joy to manage. The problem makers are often the sneaky sycophantic personalities, although they are usually easy enough to identify. Your sous chef in my opinion did the appropriate thing in bringing the facts to your attention. If I had discovered that a member of my staff had known something similar to your situation and failed to advise me I would have been furious with him/her, probably more so than the original sinner. There is a difference between 'dobbing in a mate' for some minor infringement of the rules and the reporting of a serious breach of trust.

Of course, it's a two way street; if staff cannot trust their boss(es) to be fair and reasonable then why should such managers expect undying loyalty from their employees?

*edit*

Re-reading my post I realised that my final comment could be construed as some sort of criticism of you m'lud. That was not the intent.

you modern geeky gadget-whore... If you had a proper phone - one attached to the wall by a cable in your house - then you could never have dropped it down the grid in the first place.... mobile phones - pah!

i like technology, but i don't get how people wonder how they ever lived without an 'app' in their mobile phone for finding their car in a car park ?

And we've all left our cars in the car park at Heathrow airport and then forgot the location when it comes to pick up time, haven't we?

[Raven]

No but i did spent some time walking around/up and down a multi storey car park in Tunbridge Wells swearing about forgetting where I parked my car....then to realise I should be looking for my mums blue Fiesta which i was borrowing and not my red MG Metro.....car was exactly where I left it

then it's not an 'app' you need, it's an 'op'
