Can confirm. The Killers are a fun vacuum, but the bass player was always a decent guy. Primal Scream are cunts. Through and through.

Mates said the exact same about Killers bass player. Bass players are always sound though.
You heard it here first folks. The funky guy of this shit band is cool, the rest of the shit band arent.

Sounds like it’s gonna be joyous.

Actually if you find yourself in close proximity, say at the bar, stand right near him with a beer in your hand and the other hand down by your pockets. When he’s talking just quickly and subtly flick him in the balls and turn and walk away as though nothing happened

Bribe the chef to put laxatives in his food

Please note I’m not actually advocating that you do any of this

Pour your drink in his pocket. He'll look like he's pissed himself and hopefully fuck off.

Haha

Is using Taffy racist? If not every question I ask him I’ll use it.

You're in Canada right? Ask him what he thinks about immigrants.

He’s expressed his views on that topic previously, living in a welcoming to all country hasn’t rubbed off on him.

But it’s Canada. Aren’t you all supposed to be super polite and nice?

Back at work from that induction at the college for the apprenticeship they're putting me on, and ehhhh, I'm kinda a bit fucking livid?

So it's a Modern Apprenticeship in Business Management which is a SQA Level 7 qualification. It's made up of 7 modules, 4 mandatory, and 3 chosen. These modules are carried out on the job, in my work, and I record certain things and pass them on, eventually having an assessor come out and observe me thus showing I'm doing the modules correctly and everyone's happy.

Problem is/was, I'm looking at all the modules and thinking what in the actual fuck does this have to do with me being a porter for 37.5hrs p/w? What the fuck am I managing? Who am I managing? Nothing. Its not applicable at all!

I got the impression the college tutors today thought they were inducting three Serco hospital managers into a course. They seemed shocked when I raised my concern about being assessed in the context of my current role.

They then took the hospital liason, and woman who's organised all this, Theresa outside and had a chat. When they came back they told us that they have decided to go and give a presentation to my bosses, outlining the developmental and workplace needs me and the other two need, so we can be assessed properly and pass our apprenticeship that they put us up for. So in essence, they're gonna come in and ask my bosses "yo you better put Gav in a management role so we can assess him, bitches" but how in the fuck is that gonna happen when this is the same group of people who currently can't tell me if I'm employed after May?? Why should I have faith that's gonna happen?? I was already getting guilttripped off my boss cos he had to find cover for this morning. Sorry I want to develop myself mate, I mean you fucking put the notice up about it in the staff room.

It all sounds like a cluster fuck. It was the last day in college for most of the people there so you could tell the tutors were phoning it in. I can smell it a mile off. I can also smell that Theresa has been given this and given it no real fucking thought at all, but it's sound cos at the end of the year she'll get a PEOPLE IN WORK AWARD or some shit and have an excuse to go get dressed up and have a free bar while I'll no doubt be schlepping away in A&E trolleying patients about. I just feel used. Who knows, maybe it'll work out but right now it sounds like a waste of time. They tell me its an opportunity but it feels like smoke & mirrors. Like a tory policy. £25 down in parking & petrol too. Boss better be fucking snappy getting that back.

Sigh. Back to work I suppose.

There's virtually no point to what most of us do, Gav. Learn next time and ask if the patient is sedated, and if he is, do not port him. Port yourself off to them and say you need this job and don't appreciate being put at risk like that and if they do it again, you'll raise it up the chain.

And join a union buddy.

At least gav can console himself with the fact that there is a point to what he's doing. You're helping people when they need it most gav, and you should be proud of that, even if the people you work with are twats.

Sound advice.
