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.

Lock him in a sauna with his full uniform on. 'An eye for an eye'.

You are bizarre.

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.

Is he really?

9 at Paultons.

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.

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

In your opinion. Thanks for that.

Decent signing, shame about Mills though (if true). After watching him against Ipswich in the FA Cup a couple of seasons ago, I thought he looked a player with real ability and bags of potential.

Crap appointment for Saints. Another Rupert experiment that went very wrong.

Better thank him for not deregulating more, as the opposition at the time wanted.

Good post. Russia and the like have us over a barrel at the moment.

No, have you been out in the last few weeks?

I expect the Lancashire Telegraph is as reliable as the Echo.
