BFTD Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 When I was unemployed, I passed a formal interview for some place and was then offered me a "working interview". Basically did three shifts for them and was told they would make a decision by the end of the week - the c**t never got back to me, not even a "f**k off". I was told at the job centre that I was the sixth person who went for that job that went through the exact same thing but there was nothing that they could do about it. Enforced slave labour - we would all have been sanctioned by the DWP if we didn't go for it. The b*****ds. At least I'm up front about my desire for human slaves. I'm guessing they didn't even offer you a sock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If you were a football manager, what sort of punishment would you dish out for someone taking their shirt off after scoring a goal? At least two months' wages for me. Infuriating behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least two months' wages for me. Infuriating behaviour. Depends on the gender of the players I was managing. If I was manager of a women's team, it would be encouraged and rewarded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtgilphead Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why did the weasel go pop? Is it sad that I actually know the answer? Apparently there's a sexual fetish involving compressed air being blown into orifices like the vagina or anus. Imagine how humiliating the next day's headlines must have been for his family It's not this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If you had been working 9am to 5pm for several years, you could claim custom and practice, but not after 5 months. If you're working hours are stated as 8am to 7pm in your contract then theres no legal obligation to give you notice. In a previous job, we used to do rotas a rolling month in advance so that everyone got a months notice of any changes. That wasnt an obligation just seemed reasonable. ETA - forgot the last question. Short answer, no. Long answer, yes but only by changing their contracts. Thats a legal process with all sorts of notice periods etc involved. The outcome of which could be redundancy or unfair dismissal. Mr X is pretty much spot on there, as far as my understanding of Employment Law goes. For information, an employer must be seen to be acting reasonably in making such changes and, if there is a business need, then it's possible to change working hours (even for long-standing employees) providing consultation takes place and due notice given - up to 12 weeks. The only slight change I'd make to Mr X's answer is that the employee could also claim summary dismissal if they felt the change was significantly unreasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Dee Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why did the weasel go pop? The same reason the Smurphs went in that direction, also. In one word, money. Shed loads of moolah. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Couple of weeks ago I was flashed by a speed camera down in the borders. My own stupid fault, didn't realise the speed I was travelling at, so no complaints. However it's been two weeks and a day now and I've read that if they don't get onto you within a fortnight it's unlikely they'll do so. Also heard rumours that a large number of speed cameras are "dummy" ones with no real film and are just there to act as a deterrent (only this one did flash). Any tips?

I got done about 3 months later because I forgot to let them know I'd changed address. Told them I had know idea who was driving at the time (true) and asked them to send a picture. Unfortunately the picture was excellent so I had to take the hit. There is a time limit for them to issue the notice assuming they have your address, can't remember what it is though. If you do get one it could be worth trying the not sure who was driving thing in case the photo can't identify you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) did it flash once or twice?I honestly can't remember for sure, but I would be more likely to say just the once. How much time would normally be between flashes if it was to have flashed twice? Edited January 14, 2016 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Needs three flashes to get you. You can set them off with one or two flashes on the other side of the road but they don't get you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njord Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There has always been non active cameras that flash but you are far better off with someone else's number plate... Works 100% of the time, 100% of the time. Anyhoo, was it a mod that closed Bert Travers Nazi thread ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i understand it All the cameras are real so they all flash but they only have so many film units that take the pic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that all the Gatso's have digital cameras in them now as they all have broadband lines installed in them to upload the pictures they take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
