ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Quote Hazel 1884 Stephen Dobbie is getting married. I still maintain he has just not proposed to me yet though! Aye, apparently, he turned down the move to that Chinese team because he's getting married next month or something...in Barrhead! Foolish, think of the Chinese buffet meals he could have,to live up to the 'insults' he gets about his weight. Still a goal machine tho.

Peterhead Dave Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Some (admittedly rather nice) bint kept me on the phone for an hour. Not normally a reason to moan, but my throat feels like I've been gargling razorblades, chainsaws and sandpaper all at once. Not nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Phoenix Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Some (admittedly rather nice) bint kept me on the phone for an hour. Let me see now - 60 minutes @ £1.50 per minute = £90.00. It's nice to talk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 He could have had free minutes. She could have called him. He may have vodafone stop-the-clock thingy. Sooooo many explanations and possible reasons.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooooo many explanations and possible reasons.... Nah, I just reckon he should have cut out the foreplay and saved himself £88.50.

ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) This may indeed be true. However, I did not (perhaps naively) jump to the conclusion that Dave is a dodgy character.

My meagre 37p calltime balance wouldn't quite allow that I'm afraid. Plus it's more from mobiles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 (edited) I had one last night and it was awful. We have a superb one near us which does possibly the best and largest spring roll in history. It's the size of a DVD case. Edited March 15, 2007 by Monster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeting at 11:45 to be told about Business Reorganisation apparently. Tossers. Pretty much along the lines of: "At the moment it is only a very tentative option, but we are thinking of outsourcing jobs abroad, but we won't know for definite until the end of Q4". Aye, right! No company in their right mind would say anything to 3,000 employees if they were only just tentatively thinking about shedding thousands of jobs. They've clearly decided, the tw*ts just don't know how to tell us. Means we've potentially got nine months to wait before finding out if our jobs are staying or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks I had something similar last year. We got told in January that the company was either being sold or closing down in May. A few buyers sniffed around, but we had to wait till almost the last minute before we knew for sure the place was closing. My advice, find out as much about redundancy rights in advance as you can, so that you know exactly where you stand should the time come. edited to add - should have mentioned that I negotiated about 4 months salary pay-off, had a month off paid, then started a better job on £10k a year more and a company car Sometimes these things can work really well Edited March 15, 2007 by andycqos 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
