Resigning by text pretty much sums it up.....it's like my teenage lad binning his bird by text because he couldn't face telling her to her face....he bottled it!

OLDHAMADE Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 3 hours ago, mcfluff1985 said: Why? Scholes bottled it. Was in perfect position to stand his ground. If we had been winning I've no doubt he would have told AL to fuck off interfering. He realised he wasn't cut out for management and took the easy way out. That's why he's said since he isn't going to go looking for another job. If he'd have enjoyed it and thought he was any good he'd be looking for another opportunity Best staying well clear of management from here on in, no club could afford the dropped points. Cost us dearly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You decide to take this opportunity on. A week into said relationship and there you are, getting down to business with this attractive woman. Before you've even managed to change position, the husband walks in and starts smearing his flaccid member all over the show, instructing you on where to put your own and what to do with it. You decide to get up, wipe whatever is there on the curtains, pop your clothes on and get the fuck out of there. No explanation required, you just leave. That's not bottling it.

Dave_Og Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I've been running training sessions this morning on a current industry issue where so much of wehat is being reported in the press is wrong, misleading and damaging. Nothing to do with this subject but it happens so often that when you know a lot of detail about a subject and the reporting is so obviously wrong one has to assume the same is the case when reading about a suibject of no knowledge.
