I remember seeing a documentary (Ch 4 I think) years ago about a (reasonably high profile IIRC) charity that was basically a legitimate scam.
Very plush offices in Victoria, CEO and all the Exec''s on very high salaries + bonuses etc, lavish 'fund raising' events and so on.
Once all this had been accounted for, something like a couple of pence in the pound actually went to the cause they were 'supporting'. It was basically all done to fund their own lifestyle and the public were paying for it. |

Being able to watch games live on TV/tablets/phones etc these days is great for a whole host of reasons but you just don't get the same 'feel' of the game as being there. |

Well done Robert!
Met him a few times in the early-mid noughties as I was going out with his childminder at the time. Nice guy, down to earth and, of course, lots of QPR chats. |

Baz, I'm not saying this is a employee>manager relationship. It could be at peer level too.
I don't know about you but I work in an environment where we work to very tight deadlines, at the request of the people I work with, and the very same people then continually break the deadlines given to them to a very high degree.
All I keep hearing is. "it's important" and, as per my example earlier, if it's important then why hasn't it been organised properly. Again, this thread about passive/aggressive which what my example was.... do you agree with me or not?

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing, it's about when someone is clearly asking you do do something that is unreasonable and lot of the time because they can't be bothered to do it themselves or are too disorganised so are trying to palm it off onto others.
Example:
Person 1: "I'm sorry this is late but will we still make it on time?"
Person 2" "I'm afraid that it is so late now that we have missed all deadlines and there will be a delay"
P1 "But this is really important"
P2 "if it was that important it should have been delivered on time, you have had 6 weeks notice. Do you agree with me or not"?
Yes, it's passive aggressive, that's the whole point of this thread! |

When someone says/asks something that is clearly stupid, incorrect, trying to pass the blame/get someone else to do their work etc, when you reply back with what is (hopefully) a rational & reasonable reply, finish the sentence with;
"...... do you agree with me or not?"
An old boss of mine used it and it left the other person unable to reply because if they agreed, it shows their original point was invalid and makes themselves look like a cnt and if they didn't agree it also made themselves look like a cnt, which they more than likely were. So either way, win/win even though they'll probably hate you for it!

Our home record the last couple of seasons has been so schit it's almost impossible to take my kids anymore.
So yeah, now we're having an upturn (and hopefully not just a short one) then why not celebrate, it's been dogschit for too long.
However, let's not turn that into cockyness and still be doing this in April if our home record is up where we'd like it to be. |

Not that I wish ill on them (even after 2004) but was glad to see we were playing there early on though knowing QPR, they'll find some way to fk it up.

When that late corner was swung in I swear to this day Crouch either ducked or didn't give much effort in getting to it.
Re: Hill's 'ghost' goal at Bolton, IIRC it came from a corner than we should never have been awarded in the first place so the officials fked up twice there.
Had the goal stood then it would probably be them saying a bad ref/lino decision was a season defining moment. |

I don't think I've ever actually applauded but I will have acknowledged, to anyone around me who would listen!, that it was a good goal. |

Not sure what area you are moving to but if it's anyway in the vicinity of TW2, don't use Barans.
Got a quote from them, all OK. Called up again to take it to the next step and the guy (owner I think) started arguing with me about the price he had quoted me a few days earlier. I calmly explained what we had previously discussed but he got quite irate and still maintained I was wrong.
It then turned out he got the names mixed up and thought I was someone else.
OK, easy mistake to make but his whole demeanour and aggressive/argumentative stance put me off.
I've heard from others they are a bit of a law unto themselves as to how they go about things and seem to think they 'run' the show in the area. |

I was last paid in cash in December 1987. For the 3 years in that job I walked down to Abbey National in Portobello Road to deposit some of the cash. The rest I kept, gave my mum housekeeping money and the rest was for me.
New job in January 1988 and they paid straight into my account. That was the start of it for me |

Wasn’t meaning to be, I was just generalising to exaggerate a point. Even in the 80's & 90's I paid a lot of stuff via DD which did a lot of of the heavy lifting. I used cash when going to the pub, football, eating out, paying for petrol, my weekly shop etc and the ATM was visited a lot. But you still need money in the account to then take out cash and that was also my point... you can't take cash from an ATM if your account is frozen.
I was just trying to say in this day and age paying for everything by just cash is pretty difficult and nigh on impossible. [Post edited 9 Sep 18:14]

Unless their contract is almost over, no manager will ever walk as they'd lose out the contract pay-off.
Remember, Jose Mourinho has been paid more money from sacking pay-off's than for actually working. |
