So have I, both as the buyer and seller. Which is why, like i said, you'd give them to people you can trust, "proven ability to deliver" i think you called it. Thanks for telling what a tender is though.

Weren't the government also slated earlier in all this because they wouldnt give contracts to companies who had never made ventilators before claiming they could make ones that worked perfectly? Guess they can do no right in some peoples eyes.

If you were going to give a multi million pound contract to someone, would you give it to someone you know and trust or someone you'd never heard of until a few weeks ago?

You work with people you trust.

Not sure why it's a BS point about the private sector, whilst millions are or could lose their jobs in the public sector you've got relative security. My first job was actually a public sector one, back then it was generally accepted that whilst you got paid less than private sector you had the benefits of job security, a decent pension and decent working conditions with things like flexitime and a days extra holiday a month if you did 7 hours overtime a month more than your 37 hours a week contract, plus a pay rise every year. i've never seen anything like that in the private sector. If i get a pay rise early next year when we have our performance reviews it'll be because i've had to take on significantly more responsibility as we had to make a some redundancies from our management team this year. I'd also be doing that extra responsibility for almost a year for nothing as well as i mentioned before, no one in the company got a payrise in 2020.

Incredible isn’t it. I thought the joiners thing might be a give away. Two things if I had a pound for I’d be relatively rich. People who swear blind they were at the saints game we beat Man U 6-3 and they changed their shirts and people who claim they were there at the joiners to see Nirvana. Both never happened but I’ve met hundreds of people who claim they did as they were there.

I’m always amused at soggys anti racism posts about how we should be more welcoming, we should do more to hemp immigrants integrate. Posted from his home in Romney Marsh where out of a population of just over 7,000 they had 97.1% are classed as white British. I think he means”you” when he says “we” as He probably can’t remember the last time he saw a person that wasn’t white so helping immigrants integrate doesn’t really apply to him apart form the odd Australian he might speak to now and again

Quite an honour coming from someone who has made more strange posts than a blind, limbless mail delivery operative

I didn't like Peter Sutcliffe as a person but wow what a lorry driver. All that skill be clouded by his not great lifestyle. Cant have it all. RIP.

Those that get it are laughing, no surprises you dont.

So was i, are you sure? I thought it was the 3-1 win Keane got sent off after about 20 minutes.

Cant believe it's 17 years since we beat them at St Marys. The heady days of seeming to always beat them at home seem like a long time. The 6-3 win where they changed their shirts at half time one of the most memorable days of my life, went to see Nirvana at the Joiners that evening too.

NHS workers and low income workers to get payrises, not everyone else. That's fair. As Rishi points out whilst the private sector have been losing jobs public sector have mainly kept theirs.

It worked

Even more reason not to support a public sector payrise, if they all get 3% who are they taking it from?

Do we know which vaccine Bill Gates is using the chips in or is it all of them?

Depends how much you like a drink

Current golden boy Isn’t he. At one point in the second half they were raving about a brilliant piece of play when he won a free kick on the half way line for getting a push in the back When holding the ball up, the sort of thing you see Sunday league strikers do every week. They were claiming how brilliant it was, it was most odd

Ruddock played once I think, was when Venables was manager in a friendly. I used to like Jack Cork, always thought he was very underrated. Good footballer.

Those microchips aren’t going to insert themselves.

The reality is that this won’t go on forever and whilst it’s the worst time many generations have had to live through we look back on the Second World War as a generation of strong people who showed a bit of spirit and battled through it. We’ll look back at this period at a bunch of whining tossers complaining they’d been paid to sit on their arse and watch Netflix and whine about how their mental health has suffered because they can’t do what they please for a few months.

He’s finished
