Obviously forgetting about the house that they live in themselves of course, which actually makes two properties and so grounds for immediately ripping one* of them out of their greasy, rentier clutches. * both Every fucking time as well there's some landlord wailing "what if we're disabled and our only source of income is to be a landlord?" "Are you disabled?" "No, but" "Do you have a career?" "Yes, but" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 My fav was still the owners of the 25 tourist tat shops on the Royal Mile demanding the SG end lock down as they weren't any tourists to fleece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I "attended" a conference during lockdown that was all done online, it was great. No humfing luggage about, no balancing a coffee on top of a plate of sandwiches, no getting stuck with someone chatting about their project I have no interest in. Just the folk saying their bit then firing their PowerPoint onto Dropbox, questions carrying on in the chat instead of delaying everyone's lunch so some dick can enjoy the sound of his own voice. I could go off for a shite at my leisure without making a row of folk shuffle and stand up to let me out. Zoom, teams etc has permanently killed a lot of corporate hospitality of this sort. It's sad for people to lose jobs of course but I much prefer this way of doing it.For me, the main advantage of conferences and other such meetings is to essentially get a free holiday without even having to take annual leave. The actual conference part is secondary to that.I'll definitely be annoyed if they are replaced by the sort of thing you describe where it turns into just another day at work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Ah lucky you, you get to go to forrin lands. Where I work it's the talk of the office if you make it to England.Even a wee expensed jaunt to Edinburgh is a nice day out for me, maybe it depends what you're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two conferences they ever sent me to were in the Thistle (now Hilton Doubletree) in Cambridge St and the Hilton in Anderston. One of the bosses attended one in Hawaii. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for protecting people from a deadly global pandemic, but there has to be a line somewhere. That line is conferences. I've never been to a conference. Is there drugs and shagging? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
