  1. I’ve done just that. As has Dave. That’s two instances in recent memory. That’s plenty for tonight. Folk can now watch on in future to see if the trend continues or if I’ve shamed you out of your fixation.
  2. Two desperate posts on the trot Eggs? That speaks a volume that says otherwise. Let me guess, in Dempseys original words and ones you have since plagiarised repeatedly I guess you’re going to tell me to “give my head a wobble”? I’ll leave it to others to judge how often you suck on Dempseys Titties. Surely it won’t bother you if folk take note on how often you plagiarise Dempsey?
  3. Not really Eggs. I just don’t exist in your whim and call. I’ve had a rather productive day and just finished lovely roast dinner. Im struggling to keep my eyes open but I’ll hold off sleeping til I find out why you’re so desperate for my attention. If you don’t want my attention then just say so. It’s quite simple.
  4. Eggy always follows Dempseys lead. It’s a form of idol worship I think. 🤣 If Dempsey uses a new term or phrase sure as shit Eggy follows suit a few posts later. It’s quite comical when you start to notice it.
  5. Just finished “The three body problem” trilogy and now onto the continuation in the universe by an officially endorsed fan.
  6. If only the Unions in the UK had the balls and power of the Norgies. Generally toothless here in the UK. IVe a mate who is a postie and is worried all his strike action and loss of pay has been for nothing now that the Christmas leverage is over. At least if/when we strike I get 'paid' from the Union
  7. Im selling my Panther Mill set-up as I just dont use it as much as I thought I would and without access to a loader lifting heavy slabs around is not as exciting as it used to be.
  8. I genuinely don’t know who out of the two of us is more pathetic. But Mull, in this rare revelation of your life you’ve done yourself no favours. You already know that though. You’ve single-handedly identified yourself as someone who cant tell until truth. Anyway, it’s late. I’ve a wife that wants some attention.
  9. 🤣🤣🤣 Owned.
  10. I genuinely don’t want to beat you to death Mull. The reality is you’re making it far to easy for me. That’s beside the point, The reality is you have self admitted to having zero business acumen. Nilch. You’ve farked up so bad that you have to slave for another after 30 years of running your own gig. And yet you feel you have sage advise to offer? Wise up Mull. Stick to the 🥃🥃you’re washed up me old son.
  11. I understand Mull. I really do. But damn, those cringe home truths? Geeez Bro🥃🥃🥃🥃 Stay clean dude. Seriously what a F⬆️
  12. You would be if you opened your eyes. FFS man, you’re the epitome of how to f*%k your life up and pretend it’s not happened. 30 years and now someone’s bitch? There’s no way of dressing up how much you’ve sucked at life. I almost feel bad about gloating. Almost. The reality is anyone took you seriously before would you personally expect them to to continually do so? And if so why?
  13. It’s “you’re an important man Trig.” No matter… I’m a wee cog in a big wheel. I’ve stated this repeatedly Mull. But to grind for 30 years for yourself and not be able to retire? To be someone’s bitch now? Geeeeez. Bet you wish you kept this home truth to yourself, eh? This is the kind of dirt you have to pay to dig up. 🥃🥃🥃Mull just hands out Easter Eggs. And again, to preempt. Don’t give me the “Im just keeping my hand in” BS.
  14. I’m happy to admit I’m a small cog in a big wheel Mull. I’m a number and nothing more. Ergo I’m employed and paid in a direct relationship in what I can offer a multi-billion dollar company. If I don’t self invest and diversify my knowledge base I’ll be left behind with the dinosaurs. I keep myself relevant and if not irreplaceable as financially as close to that as possible. But Mull, you’re washed up. 30 years in the game and still out hawking with cap in hand? I knew your where a 🥃 but it’s sad to see you need to keep asking the boss how high to keep the fix. There is nothing someone who has sucked so hard at life that I could consider wisdom. apart from “don’t do drugs”.
  15. You’ve yet again missed the point Mull. The balance of power swings in both directions. It really matters not the size of the business nor the number of employees. Sooner or later the balance of power will tilt in either direction. As an employer you need to be astute enough to gauge to market closely enough to feel of you have the scope to punish minor infringements severely enough end them or see the disciplinary action have an unexpected detrimental effect on the company. It’s a fine line HR, Managers and Legal tread in big boy works. Small potatoes could grab their coattails for free, Its an interesting side note to how your career of 30 years was so ineffectual (inefficient?) that at the point of when it’s generally expected of someone to have run their own business for so long that retirement and a daily fat cigar is expected. Fore give me for preempting your retort of “ I do this because I want to” because we both know it’s BS. So with that excuse out if the way why do you think that after 30 years of working for yourself and now having to be someone’s bitch do you think you have any authority to voice your opinion? it has to be the drink talking?
  16. The word decimate comes from the Roman times. In short when serious reprimand was in order one in ten of the enlisted men where killed. Now killing one of the lads might be going a tad far would a sacrificial culling of the worst offenders be out of order? Sends a strong message and gets rid of the vocal trouble maker.
  17. I’m not denying that. But there is always a balance of power. If there is scant companies offering work then the lads can be told to sort their shit on their own dime or GTFO. Conversely, if there is money and work sloshing around then the ball is in the employees court. If the employer does not bend the rules (if forced into it) then the employee holds the cards. This is economics 101 Mull, you know this as much as anyone.
  18. I’ve heard the same with multi-billion dollar oil service companies only to watch them shrink to insignificance then a total withdrawal from the shelf or at best suffer a very marginal market share. I’m witnessing this very problem right now. Who needs who more?
  19. Everyone is expendable. Be it the company owner or the employee. Who needs who more? In my humble line of work the initial years of an employee working for the company sees the employees training costs equal their yearly wage.
  20. I agree with your initial assessment not so much the latter (obviously) Again, who needs who more? This is the decisive question in how a company administers discipline.
  21. Make them make the customer happy on their dime. They’ll not do it again. If they dont like it then time for them to walk, that’s unless you need them more than they need you then you best just suck it up.
  22. No need to double down. 🤣
  23. But better than a master of one. Many seem to have forgotten the real meaning of this rhyme.
