Do you really think that its normal behaviour for you to reply to a post I made 2 weeks ago on a separate part of the forum, trying to abuse me, for no reason other than that I made a joke about Airdrie being diet ****? You're a deeply strange man. Stop shitting up this thread with your weird, 1 sided vandetta. Thank you. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My response in this type of situation is "What the f**k has any of this got to do with me"? Got an email this morning about this. The building manager asking what should be done with all the stuff, including the books and the junk. My response was not far off your suggestion here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I've started doing a bit of work with an Aussie firm who are updating the IT systems at my work for us and every time we have a call with them they take time at the start to acknowledge that the land belongs to the native Australians or something. Has anyone worked with Aussies before and is this normal? Edited August 25, 2023 by Donathan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has become the PC way in Oz of letting the Aborigines know that they acknowledge that the land was theirs and now isn't. I think it is rather insulting tbh, it's also played on every Quantas flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I saw it I though it was some kind of joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 What's this? Something along the lines of, "good morning, and what a fine day it is for those native to Australia and the land bestowed upon them by Our Lord"? Anyway, I've been sat in a presentation this morning, and the deliverer's being fed adverts for laxatives any time they bring up a website. They're also very keen on taking regular breaks. What can it all mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can it all mean? I just checked the recording from the last training session they gave us and the exact wording used is "Before we begin, we would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we hold this meeting, and pay our respects to the elders both past and present" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can it all mean? My theory would be the guy does all his work on his home laptop and only uses his work one to Google ‘constipafion’. That way when he has to do a presentation he can nip out for a quick bevvy/bookies/chug safe in the knowledge that his targeted ads mean nobody will query him about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
