Budgie Couple of tales I heard about our former keeper who was superb as a character and not a bad keeper either. First one is Ossie's time as our manager. After only a week at the club a shop worker told Burridge anything to do with him had been removed from the club shop on orders of the new manager. Budgie then pulled him and Ossie told him he was going to force him out of United. It seems that the little Argentinean still harboured a grudge from a short spell they had at Southampton as players when Budgie 'cleared him out' in a practice game. Apparently he'd have been bollocked for not doing it as that was what they were taught to do at the time, (the one time he didn't do this to a player was when he went easy on a young, thin, teenage Geordie striker* from the reserves who promptly nearly took Budgie's head off!). Anyway, after the tackle Ossie got up spitting feathers calling him an 'animal' and so on before Budgie retaliated with some Falklands digs and a few years later at St. James' it was pay back time for Ardilles. *Guess who? Vinnie Jones once tried to intimidate some of our players as they came out to warm up at Elland Road in a crunch promotion match in a very hostile atmosphere, (we were also given a joke allocation of tickets, about 800). As they came onto the pitch Jones had some weights placed in the tunnel and was lifting them, contorting his face with his top off and grunting etc. Unfortunately for Jones, John Burridge was our keeper at the time and Budgie was fit as a fiddle, built like a brick shithouse and like most insane people, (Budgie was/is a complete eccentric), unfeasibly strong. As Jones was doing his 'hard man/strong man' routine Budgie walked up, lifted the weights off Jones with one hand and asked him if that was all he could do before lamenting the lack of stamina in young'uns to much laughter from the away team.

I agree with the 'challenging' bit, however maybe another neutral mod could step in and warn the protagonists off each other. Has Stevie deteriorated the site to the extent where he needs banned? That was others, (not Ants!) excuse for binning LM. Does Stevie fall into the same category? -
Actually, What's in it for you, CT? What's your incentive to champion lower pay for those who suffer shiftwork or weekend work? The companies cost these things up, if it isn't profitable they wont do it, so if companies do pay up why do you think they're being screwed and as a family man from a working class part of the World, why do you think shareholders should get that extra bit of profit at the expense of the man who can't take his kids out as he's at work/in bed asleep after a shift etc?
-
Do I really need to spell it out that weekend work and nightshift work should have an enhanced payment CT? Most people's social and family activities revolve around the weekend, mate. Sunday is the traditional rest day. Again, it's just arguing for the sake of it now. Are you seriously trying to tell me that the only reason it should be any different is due to religion?
-
Any company that works 24/7 does so for business reasons, they obviously have the capacity and volume of orders to do so and need these shifts manned up. They will drop these extra shifts like a stone the minute volume dries up and not think twice about putting workers on the rock and roll where your favourite party and their supporters can label them 'scroungers'. The orders will bring in the extra revenue to the company and the company will cost the extra shifts (including any enhanced unsociable payments) to the customer. Although I'm pretty certain you know all this already. Those poor, poor companies being shafted time and time again by those workers. What's an exec to do?

Misread your post. Apologies.

FYP Wait till you grow up and have a family. If you're the future with thoughts like that then I sorely pity the lifestyle your future kids will have to endure.

I agree Stevie worked his ticket a bit with Ant, however this was after Ant joined in a Stevie/J69 love-in which lets face it, peters out after a few posts of slagging each other. J69 nor Stevie were banned for it but he argues with someone who has the controls and he's out which I don't really think is right. Am no way saying Ant has to be some kind of Terry Waite and turn the other cheek and I can see why he must be getting a bit pissed off with taking the rap for LM's ban*, however, even though he can go a bit OTT he's usually an entertaining poster and has a knowledge which he can share about our club and jog the memories of fellow sufferers like myself and other older sweats. I've no idea what Ant does on this board to run it as I'm a complete knacka when it comes to computers but I'm glad he keeps it going and he has my gratitude. Just let the lad back on though, FFS. *(I know I'm in the minority but I wouldn't have banned him either), -
Complete horse shit. I've NEVER worked anywhere other than the private sector, I've worked at several different companies and have NEVER worked any unsociable shift pattern without some kind of enhancement. Single time for a Sunday night? Aye, righto boss!
-
Are for fucking real, CT? Do you think employers should not have to pay workers overtime rates or shift allowances for working Sundays/nightshifts etc? No wonder this countries fucked with when you have 'the man in the street' sucking it up, swallowing and thanking them for it. I like your presence on this board, mate but Fucking hell, man.

I've still got the Brazil/NUFC hat from Mirandinha's time at the club but never had the shirt. One of our group did though.

I can just imagine Norway must be chocca with slim, young good looking females putting their points across about why Jonas is shit or Pardew must go etc on a foreign football message board instead of talking to other girls their own age on facebook or going to clubs or spending time with their boyfriends. -
