I do agree with that and the need to avoid offending people. That said simply replacing words with a new one because its perceived as being abusive is pointless because the new word simply means the same after a while . Spastic and retarded were simple medical terms to describe symptoms. Queer became offensive so was replaced with gay and now queer is in again and ghey is offensive. How is disabled less offensive than handicapped?

A scheme that incentivises employers to sack their paid staff and replace them with people paid by the taxpayer is going to make that more likely, not less.

The saintbletch "Hilarious fun with words" thread

Birmingham Billy? No, Aston Martin. -
The Radisson in Glasgow is good - but the best option is probably look on tripadvisor to get a combination of price and rating.

Both Zac Goldsmith and Helena Norberg Hodge are serious advocates for the issues about food, farming and trade and have been for 20 years or more. They probably thought Brand would help them reach a wider audience, but the risk is you damage the credibility of the arguments by having them conveyed by him.

Back to type. You default to abuse when you're shown the massive holes in the 'logic' of your view of the world. Being unable to think things through is bad enough, compounding that with poor social skills is lame.

I dont think Jacob Rothschild is a complete sociopath. So you think a billionaire member of the Bilderburg group can have a positive influence on the world?
-
He wants a new career, not a casual temp job.

-
Being a billionaire and a member of the Bilderburg group is not a disqualification to that?
-
So its possible for members of the Goldsmith family and the Rothschild family to make a contribution and be doing good in the world?
-
Okay shades of grey then. Do you think Zac Goldsmith and Helena Norberg Hodge are broadly well intentioned and in alignment with Brand or not?
-
So are Zac Goldsmith and Helena Norberg Hodge the good guys or the bad guys then? Im not clear where you place them.
-
A weak dodge. Tell us how you square Brand working with the evil Bilderburgs who control the world.
-
Zac is married to a Rothschild, grandaughter of Jacob, so Brand is co-operating with the Bilderburgs who control the world? Oh noes - he's actually a plant, a shill, a government agent. You're so hopelessly confused about what you think and say its comical.

A helicopter engineer told me once that if you have a 30 year career as a helicopter pilot, say from 25-55, you've got a one in three chance of dying in a crash. Took the gloss off a bit.

Before the game he was moaning that the fans and "people in the club" wanted him to play Harry Kane and implying they didn't know what they were talking about. That'll be two goals in two games Kane.

Go to a careers office and get some free advice and try some of those 'what job am I suited to' programmes like this one http://www.careercolleges.com/career-assessment-test and this one http://joboutlook.gov.au/careerquiz.aspx . They probably wont provide 'the answer' but will throw up new ideas for you.

I'd never heard of that so googled images. Wow.

I liked Sherwood's 'say it like it is' approach at Spurs because it was the club most in need of a reality check. That said a touch of diplomacy not only greases the wheels with your boss but also makes you a much better man manager with the players. Its hard to know if long term he'd work out well like Gary Monk at Swansea or an ego driven failure like de Canio.
