welshbairn Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Was in John Lewis earlier and made the mistake of wondering over to the teles. The modern TV is a thing of beauty with crystal clear display and bitching soundbars. I can sit and stare at these beauties until The shop kicks me out (or the wife) My 8 year old Samsung plasma is not doing it for me anymore and I can feel myself despairing every time I watch anything. God I wish money wasn't an issue. Just walk in with a smart pair of overalls and take one. It's fool proof. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the consumer goods you could shake a brick at and absolutely free. No initiative, you young people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 3D holographic wall installation still looks fine to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so when it's a non entity like Johnson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just really liked Man City and would've had mixed emotions whether he'd played for them or not. Like when you see a fondly-remembered ex-girlfriend at an orgy and pretend not to enjoy yourself with the other lassies too much out of respect. We've all been there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Surely the point with the whole tattoos/work thing is just that by getting visible tattoos, you're making a statement that you're not bothered by what other people think about it. Employers want their staff to be very bothered about what's thought about them. Very bothered indeed. At what point do we change these views? Or is it forever more that people with tattoo's get discriminated against? Seems to be a lot of "that's just the way of it" when it's, eh, their views that make it that way. Let's say for example that you (I don't mean only you BFTD, everyone who seems to take tattoo's as some sort of "Good guy guage") go to an interview and the guy interviewing you has a tattoo on his hand/neck, do you immediately stand up and walk out? Or would you sit through the interview and reject the offer if it comes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought the opposite, you get a tattoo because you're very bothered about how you look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not an employer, nor someone who cares about tattoos BTW) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
