    Advice on Notice periods at work - what are the options?

    oh dear - that takes me back. What an epic Chirstmas party night that was - I still remember thinking after the third or fourth Stella by 11am that it probably wasnt going to end up as a good day. Since then I have never attended a Christmas party. Although that job was one I was glad to leave...

    Advice on Notice periods at work - what are the options?

    Contract states 8 weeks and I signed it when I joined. I dont know how to face this. I have just been hauled into his office and been accused of letting the cat out of the baf - I have not said a word to anyone. Clearly the next few weeks are going to be hell on earth.

    Stop Cycling up Ditchling Beacon!!!!

    Last weekend driving over Ashdown Forest I pulled up at a junction. Whereupon six cyclists in their sex-uniforms and special helmets pulled alongside me. One of them was trying to speak to me - so I wound the window down. He said to me that I had overtaken them half a mile back - I said indeed...

    Advice on Notice periods at work - what are the options?

    Turning to the great and good of NSC. A new opportunity has come up that on so many fronts is a much more attractive option than where I am. I handed in my notice to much gnashing of teeth - 8 week notice period. Tried to negotiate a shorter exit - I am not going to a competitor. I am now...

    Crofts signing today [4:30 announcement]

    From 1pm........it's just not statement that gives one any confidence. It's now turned into 90% and Chelsea game at latest. I feel for those who see themselves, or indeed are, 'in the know'. Ignorance however frustrating does bring an over-riding sense of bliss. However the OP has perhaps set...

    Fella - whatever the outcome of this thread and your book - fair play - you ahve made me laugh louder and longer than I have in a long time. I think there is a flaw you may not have considered or have considered and are deciding to ignore. The bloke is a cock. Not in a nasty way - just in a...

    Robbie Savage

    I think you are right. It will attract readers. As a first guess I reckon about 5. ON that basis as long as you can shift the book at around £50,000 a copy you are on a right winner. Good Luck!!!!

    Which Religion Is The Most Attractive

    Without being a pedant - someone should first work out what Religion actually means. I believe it is Latin - from religio - meaning set of rules by which one lives. Therefore regardless of whatever faith one follows or subscribes to we are all actually religious.

    Isn't pre-season an opportunity for the manager and coaching team to consider different formations, different personnel and different approaches? We are very quick to bury or laud a player based on pre-season sometimes. I do remember someone in the office who is a Plymouth fan laughing when we...

    Avoid buying crockery or cutlery. Simply buy cheap plastic plates and cups and after a meal simply throw everything away to remove the daily grind of washing up. Hate ironing? Kill this horror chore by putting clean clothes under the seats of your sofa. Then simply relax on the sofa while...

    British Banks

    There seems to a a huge gap between what many of us would 'like' to happen - and the reality of what needs to happen. You may wish through misty-eyed nostalgia for the days of honest and true manufacturing and men tilling the earth. You may have a natural abhorence of the financial markets and...

    England won't win the World cup again in my life time

    Similar overhaul needed perhaps that cricket has undergone in the last decade. What did make me smile last night was the phrase 'playing without fear'. Perhaps just another sporting hyperbole but in an age where people are fretting about their homes, their jobs, their simple ability to hold...
