The only real power most have is the ability to withdraw their labour. It does no harm to remind people of that every now and again. They're not holding the public to ransom because they're not asking anything from the public except to be patient while they exercise their legal right.

Does drinking craft beer make you less of a man? Why, just the other night some round our table were enjoying a stout at 12%. I'm not one to judge manliness by what someone like to drink but that's got to be manlier than the traditional "blokes" order of 8 pints of Fosters and a Stella for "Mad...

I didn't say they shouldn't wear it, I just said they look like idiots.

I have no real problem with cyclists except for the few morons who flaunt all the rules and are reckless with other people's lives but those getting about in their full lycra kit just look like idiots. Unfortunately I live in the area that the Olympic cycling route took and since that fateful...

A gut feeling tells me its not a good idea but as someone said, one is not forced to shop. The problem I have with it is the staff that will be pressured to work extra on a Sunday. Hardly any high st retailer pays their staff extra to work on a Sunday as it stands and I can't see they'll change...

I don't know what it's like now, not worked in CS for over a decade but when I was security manager at Virgin all stores definitely had to be open if the centre was open. There were odd exceptions such as the Next sale and Debenhams thing but as a rule if CS was open, all stores were obliged to...

That was Thatcher and it was me empathising with the millions of people she ****ed over. So, on reflection, I'm happy with my standards thank you so much. Taking offence at my swipe on Thatcher. What has it got to do with you? Offended on someone else's behalf perhaps? Hmm, it would seem so. You...

Agreed, and don't...

Plus side is , high level Women's football is being talked about.

Nope. I'm proud of plenty of people. Think you've talked yourself into a bit of a corner old boy.

You never feel proud of anyone for their achievements? Never felt a bit gutted for someone when they do something g embarrassing? There's a word for people who can't feel anything on the behalf of others.

Yes, you've pointed out you have no time whatsoever for this over several posts now ;-)

I'm far from a nice guy. I'm mostly a bit of a ****. However, I do recognise ill thought out, patronising drivel. Like your post.

All papers have gone down the dunny.

Christ! Can you imagine living underneath that Fruitloop. Even when he doesn't know someone he makes threatening calls and doorsteps them, imagine what it'd be like when he's a stone throw away!

It's not "offence on others behalf" , it acknowledging why someone might take offence. Two totally different things. A lazy dismissal too often trotted out "ooh, why so offended on someone else's behalf". It's called empathy and the world could do with a lot more of it.

Salad cream is too vinegary. Mayo all the way.

That is rather patronising.

All the best mate, I hope things get better for you.

Is the Queen going to move out then? What about Cameron. All live in council housing, all earn more than the threshold.
