  1. One of the things that annoys me is the people that often put themselves forward for the position of "Mental Health First Aider". My last company did this and they had 3 of them. One guy did it for genuine, altruistic reasons. The other two were the office gossip and the corporate arse-kisser who was the biggest bully in the company - the last two people you'd ever open up to about a personal problem. If the company aren't serious about the issue, if they just treat it as a tick box exercise, they can make things worse for people.

Over 60% of school leavers were unemployed or on some crap government "training scheme" If there were plates they weren't being handed out to us.

You had to walk along a 20ft high brick wall while your mates threw the brick over in an attempt to either detach your head or make you fall off.

  9. Is it being a bit greedy to want the Pars to get humped tonight too?
  10. Not just a one year extension either. Carlsberg doesn’t do Fridays but...
