24hoursfromtulsehill Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Quelle surprise. It turns out I'm a right :censored: in pay negotiations. I like to think of myself as a trade union Gattuso. Always leaving a little bit in there. Have your lot joined Unite yet? I hear Labour will introduce compulsory trade union membership for everyone in the tasty grilled chicken sector after the election.

HarryBosch Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) I've recently been taken to task for not replying to a message on there in a timely manner. My explanation that I sometimes don't even look at it for a week or two was met with incredulity & deep suspicion. I'm told not "liking" certain posts has become akin to blanking someone in the pub or not answering their phonecalls I reckon (and hope) it's another social experiment that will ultimately be used to round it's users up, like ITV.

It's a tyranny. Another thing I don't miss is those pictures with wise words on the theme of self-help or self-validation - "don't let anyone make you feel like a bellend even if you are a bellend". That sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possible benefit I can see from it is that it would increase my chances of punching Len McCluskey right in his self-righteous phiz.

The reasons why you don't want it relate exactly to the reasons why you need it. Health and safety. Decent pay. Paid leave. Solid contracts. Control over bad management. I could go on.

See what I mean about self-righteous? YOU MAKE ME SICK. You've got health and safety legislation, decent pay and paid leave because of the unions and our bitches in the Labour party. As for the last one...I just don't believe you. I reckon your management all get together and say, "Aren't we great" when they are manifestly not great.

Roger Ritchie Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I left when I saw a message (clearly false) about an OAP ex canadian Soldier saying something to a Muslim woman in a supermarket and hundreds and thousands of people had liked it. Plus the fact that no one puts anything interesting on it anymore just that timewarp thing which shows you how your :censored: status of old is still :censored: four years on. Everyone should leave. Journalists might start doing some work again rather than looking at peoples profiles and making an assumption. It will make police work a bit harder though. 90% of convictions these days seem to be because the perpetrator was bragging about it on facebook. Leave, the only thing you have to lose is your chains! PS. I am happy to return if they change the name to Delroy FaceyBook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Wolf in sheep's clothing. Wotanob. Why are you so frightened of people (the unions, Labour) who've done nothing but good for you, and at the same time in thrall to people (the boss class, the Tories) who wish you nothing but harm? I'd love to know the answer to this question from anyone who does not vote Labour at the election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The equation is simple. If you want Grant Shapps/Michael Green and Iain Duncan Smith, don't vote Labour. FTFY You're doing that all wrong - it's all about Frite / Spanta - the half Sprite, half Fanta, best drink ever.Does it matter which order you out them in the cup first? So if you put Fanta in first it's Frite, but. Sprite in first it's Spanta? Why are you so frightened of people (the unions, Labour) who've done nothing but good for you, and at the same time in thrall to people (the boss class, the Tories) who wish you nothing but harm? I'd love to know the answer to this question from anyone who does not vote Labour at the election. The union at my work have just me over. I vote in Heywood so it doesn't matter anyway- Labour will win. I am more likely to vote Labour than Tory though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
