How do you know that? I bet you used to root around your parents bedroom at the end of October and threw a paddy if you couldn't find any Christmas presents.
-
The percentage of GDP used to pay the pensions is actually going to lower significantly in years to come because of the deal the teachers signed in 2008, so you're wrong.

It's a free vote, so you make up your own mind.

He said it was wrong of the teachers to strike while they were still in negotiations. A little bit different to saying they shouldn't strike at all. He's still the wrong man to be leading Labour though. His brother would have had a field day with the sorry coalition, but from Ed it's like 'being savaged by a sheep'.

Because their members terms are being changed. I don't really get your argument there. I am getting pretty peeved at the demonising of public sector workers. Suits the Tories agenda, but a heck of a lot of it is without foundation.

At the end of the day, the recommendations on voting are irrelevant. If you agree vote yes, otherwise vote no. The vast majority of those balloted voted yes.

Red and white stripey grass?

Doesn't mean that people shouldn't legally protest if they are unhappy. It is their democratic right. The fact that even the most moderate teachers are striking suggests they feel very harshly treated. And stop going on about how bankers. You sound like a City groupie who has filled in the Panini Bankers sticker book.
-
To be fair to the teachers, they agreed to reduced terms and conditions in 2008, so I don't blame them for their protest.
-
Lots of bankers get rewarded for nothing. Fred the Shred to name but one, but there are many many more. I am not on benefits and fortunately never have been. The company I work for are in a sticky position like many others, and we have made people compulsorily redundant. So my job is far from cushy. You are bizarre because you seem to have this myopic view of the world at work, and the business of bankers.

You are bizarre.

Would you chop you little finger off for a million quid?
Wade Garrett replied to Rut's topic in The Muppet Show
I'd willingly lose my winky and ballsack for a million. But not my little finger, it might adversely affect my golf grip. -
Bankers are just bookies who get someone else to pay up when they lose. I have very little respect for them. Jackanory, I admire you for working harder in the private sector to provide yourself a stable future. Does that mean I won't have to wait as long for my Big Mac tomorrow?
-
You sound like a bit of a hard b*stard. Were you bullied at school. Fair play to you Duncan. Have you still got that mugshot of Willie W*nker Walsh on your dartboard?

Coldplay were excellent. Much better than those tax-dodging hypocritical Irish c*nts.

The forum is generally pretty poor now anyway pat.

I work in the private sector, and for a long time it thrived and my pay and conditions improved year on year, as I'm sure yours and others did. You conveniently forget that during this time, the binmen and other public sector workers were way behind us. Now we're all in the sh*tcart a little bit we get people in the private sector whingeing and moaning about people who have been doing a job for many years that a lot of us wouldn't do. The binmen will probably be better off on the dole than accepting the current deal on the table.

It wasn't a little rant you patronising c*nt.

I had my bins emptied last week for the first time in 4 or 5 weeks. The bin men picked up any bag lying around, so they are conscientious. I have every sympathy with them. They have had a pay freeze for a couple of years, and are now being asked to take a 5% cut in pay, and pay an extra 3% of their wages into their pensions. I think they are also being asked to take subsequent pay freezes as well. At the same time the council can find money to resurface my road, resurface 40 miles of pavements in the City, spend £15million on a Titanic museum, hoard valuable works of art that nobody can see, spend £800k on Oxford Street (no doubt helping a few Tory pals) and councillors continue to receive over the top expenses (my local councillor gloated this one to me when I asked him to close a cutway at the back of my garden). We are also paying a chief executive more money than the Prime Minister, and some senior managers are earning in excess of £100k.

Sharp, Maynard, CMS - who would be best for saints?

Sheffield Utd apart, Sharp has a terrific goalscoring record at Championship level. -
