Always enjoyed his performance in one of my favourite shows.

 

What troubles me most about the demise of John Mahoney is that when he first played the role of Frasier’s father he was younger than I am now!

I agree no one was forced to sign the contracts, but when times are hard with no money coming in you'd be surprised what people will do.

 

And what's the idea of putting two drivers on a round to cover one persons work?

Do you know how much a delivery driver earns? If you dont you cant really comment on how fair this "fine" is for taking a day off work...

 

We've all worked with people that take days off sick because they fancy a day in bed. You can't really run a delivery company if drivers take days off sick all the time.. We'd all be complaining if delivery companies stopped delivering parcels the day after big football matches etc....

Nah, it's not, it's based on real data.  The point being, she was only over there to wind people up.  And take Ket. (alledgedly).

 

 

I think the reason people are getting fed up with political correctness is that it's so one sided..... White farmers are killed in places like South Africa and the media say very little about it. Katie Hopkins tells the truth about something and left wingers like you get hysterical....

£1.70/parcel, hundred drops a day would get a driver £170.

 

less the cost to pay the courier company for the van finance, fuel and insurance.

Yup. Pretty sick of it being impossible to be racist to whites in the political sphere.

 

I'd love to know how to find my white privilege. No where to be found when me and my dog where eating porridge with water and rice with ground oxo cubes sleeping on a damp futon whilst recovering from a broken spine. Where was my white privilege then??

If that was meant to be funny it was a massive fail. If it was meant as a dig it was also a fail.

 

What I'm saying is being white didn't help me at a dark time in my life. Unless I die in the next 10 years I'll probably be an asset millionaire. Being white didn't help that either.

It was a tong in cheek quote from an old Monty Python sketch . It was funny back in the day , obviously not any more . I will go and fail somewhere else ........
