  1. Haven’t even paid attention to what she has been up to but epitomises everything wrong with current govt and the general ability to get on in politics whilst being thick as pig shit. Baffling

    Cost of Living

    I’ve noticed since I started turning the fridge off at night I saved a fortune. Also charging my phone at work helps. Also why don’t eat more to get fat and you don’t need so much heating? Fucking poor do nothing to help themselves. I find an ice cube and a potato a wholesome nutritious meal and really simple if you prepare the ice cubes in advance,
  3. My word Lord Dickhead complaining about lazy labelling and proclaiming his tolerance. Seen it all now.

    It is money they haven’t factored in and are just huge beneficiaries of the market price.
  6. How many beers will be consumed today in Seville? Insane that 100,000 Rangers and 50,000 Frankfurt fans expected. Lucky bastards
  7. What an absolute cunt
  8. Does anyone actually not agree with a windfall tax on the big oil companies? They have claimed they have more money than they know what to do with so the Johnson line that it will stifle green investment doesn’t hold and actually been countered by BP CEO. oh and btw trying to blame the Bank of England for staff working at home (by Daily Mail) - this obsession is beyond comical - do they also think market traders need to fly from London to New York to shake on deals?
  9. Yeah not easy - I have managers I trust and managers who are too easily fooled. I think you need to have a healthy amount of cynicism but also spot potential. Bright people pick up things quick. I actually think over the years I have got 80/90% right although significantly less involved now in day to day. Recently read a book on Amazon’s approach to recruitment which was interesting in how seriously they took it and accordingly prioritised - had recruitment gurus (can’t remember their term) who had to sign off on appointments. Also done fair amount of performance management and often dealing with managers who don’t want to take it on which is infuriating. I equate to parenting tough love - if they are in the wrong job you are doing them a favour as long term won’t be happy even if they are too lazy to look for something they may be better suited too. Also some times the fuckers are delusional in not seeing their shortcomings which we have duty to pick up on. What I find tricky is when ambitious, but ultimately limited staff, think they deserve promotions they won’t get. Not performance mgt cases but what is their future motivation when they have hit their ceiling?
  10. Has he considered he might not be the best at recruiting?
  11. What have all the moaning private sector posters got to say about the huge disparity in pay rises between the sectors? Surprised more don’t jump ship and fuck the services even more. Then we will have an even greater country and more people can buy bigger tvs.
  12. Get using the grass line mate
  13. What if a Newcastle player was gay, would they still be welcomed in Saudi?
  14. Appalled no one has referred to him as Nobes
  15. Male footballer please.
  16. Surprised no comment about the Buffalo shooting. How do get so fucked up and full of hate at 18? Fucked up country indeed
  17. Can’t believe this is the other games thread and no one talking about WSL final?

    Russia

    So when Ukrainians say no, you will follow the narrative that Putin wanted peace but Ukraine weren’t willing to negotiate. Exactly what he would like
  19. Can our Danish connections help us sign Eriksen please
  20. You know it’s their scapegoat for the shit services they have had 12 years to sort. They won’t own anything and just feed the gammon. WFH is fine but most who do it have their networks pre-covid. Can’t beat a bit of socialising and camaraderie to help team morale.

    Russia

    I know you aren’t asking me but Macron is such a vain politician. Shame France didn’t have a credible alternative to defeat him as still far preferable to Le Pen. You just know he thinks he has a special relationship with Putin but just being played.
  22. Has there been a bigger nose in PL than Richarlison?
  23. Never know and although down to 10 they can’t seem to sustain for 90 mins. Palace won’t be easy for them and might choke again. Then Arsenal last game so just hope Leeds can do Brentford next week and Burnley manage a win out of last 2 games
