Yes, its crap... 177595[/snapback] Agreed. I don't think it was banned though - I picked it up for a fiver a few weeks ago. Complete waste of money tbh.

Skool Daze with better graphics tbh. At the end of the day, this game will be age restricted I'm sure. If parents choose to let their kids play this stuff then they should take any responsibility if any copy cat incidents occur. I don't particularly see why I should be subject to the same restrictions though.

I've got a friend who owns a door and window company and they do refer to windows as vision panels.

As long as it's a good product and you aren't selling them a load of shite at extortinate rates I wouldn't worry. You aren't doing that are you? 177160[/snapback] the company line is that it's a luxury product ad middle range price. whey for one thing I'm not going to say luxury, cos people think luxury means excessive and unnecessary. Someone says Luxury and I hear Laurent Robert. and I'm a little concerned about taking advantage of vulnerable people (either gullible or easily flustered), at the end of the day it IS a good product and it IS cheaper than products of similar quality from other companies. I dunno hopefully I can get the promotion quickly and distance myself from the sales part of it meaning I'm a step removed from the less noble side of things. 177173[/snapback] How can you have luxury windows then? What makes them better than normal ones? I assume they are still UPVC with Pilkington glass. Do you have to carry round huge samples?

Have you got a shoe fetish like, fatty? 177172[/snapback] We have already estalished that you are more porky than me ginge.

A perk of the job is to have a look for the shoebox under the bed while you're measuring up upstairs.

That's about right, you'll be using all the lines like you can only give a discount if you sign up today, getting some granny to give up her life savings on something she doesn't even need. I ended up telling the guy to fuck off and went with a company that doesn't use sales people. The irony was this made them cheaper too!

I had to physically remove the last one I had. I had made it completely clear I only wanted an estimate.
-
You really are a double glazing salesman? Good luck, try and not be as obnoxious as the last one I had.

I assumed it would be 10% of anything he made, or a ginger bumming if he didn't. I used to be, no real need for it in the conventional sense any more. I'm flicking back and forth, the work I'm doing at the moment is technical, and does my head in, so I have to give my brain a rest quite a lot. That's my excuse, anyway. Nearly finished this bastard project now, so you might not see as much of me. 177106[/snapback] How does that work like? You finish a project so you'll be around less?? 177117[/snapback] Like when Alex goes home at night.

can't be worse off and the product is Vision Solutions. 177109[/snapback] Glasses?
-
don't you sell medical supplies or something to hospitals? or is that someone else? or am I mistaking real life for tv again? 177068[/snapback] Not me, I couldn't sell water to a man dying of thirst.
-
Sticky it. All sales people are twunts btw.

First, he had to travel back to Mexico to pick up his passport. Second, Anna Friel has only just turned 31, and if you don't find her at least a bit attractive that makes you a hom.
-
In fairness, the first one was quite good as far as footy films go. But that sequel looks shit - take away the rags to riches element and what have you got? Plus not only has he dumped us the mercenary foreign bassa looks like he has dumped Anna! Twat.

It's probably pretty similar to Ireland, yes, there's plenty of money in the country, but living costs are sky high and people are over-worked. Weather definitely makes a difference too. 173580[/snapback] I work for a Dutch company, and I discovered today they get 48 days holiday per year over there. That would definitely make me happier! 173582[/snapback] I agree with that like. More holidays = . Mine are shit. 173584[/snapback] I get 25 days plus bank holidays. What you getting? Loved it at PwC where I got time off in lieu for overtime. Used to end up with about 10 weeks holidays a year. That stopped as soon as I qualified though. 173588[/snapback] I get 27, but the rules has changed and this now doesn't include a mandatory 3 day break over Christmas! Robbing bassas. Mind, I can work from home as much as I like within reason....

For people that are supposed to be happy, they've got a bargain bucket full of hatred. 173571[/snapback] Not your average yank on the street, I don't think. 173576[/snapback] You do know the average yank is not some gay hippy form San Francisco I hope. 173579[/snapback] Yes you tit! Just like I know the average Brit is not some gay stripey cat from Tynemouth. 173581[/snapback] Which is a shame, admittedly.

I disagree. The standard of life here is high, the quality of life is low. As was pointed out in a recent study I seem to remember. Are we happier than 30 years ago despite being twice as prosperous? I doubt it.

Regards the US, ignorance = bliss tbh.

I agree in the main but - I've won money and appreciated it more in a way. Your earnings go straight into the bank and you don't really see them whereas on the odd occasion I've fleeced the bookies I've probably felt better about that money than I would otherwise. I appreciate gifts too which are sometimes money/vouchers and in those circumstances I tend to buy something I wouldn't normally buy, as a treat. Also, do you reckon people who have their lives improved by charitable donations are unappreciative? 173489[/snapback] If you're generally working for your money, you'll appreciate anyh money that comes in, but if you've got a lot and don't have to work for it, it all ceases to have any real value. I also think people quickly forget how hard they once worked for it once they've got it; they stop appreciating what other people are going through etc. 173494[/snapback] That's what I meant and no I wasn't on a wind-up Gemmill you dick wad! Why is Shearer happier in all likelihood than Dyer? One reason would be I'm sure because he has earned his money and had some impact on the world. I concede I may be talking bollocks like. 173506[/snapback] There's a difference between being able to fully appreciate the value of money and being able to enjoy being loaded tbh. If someone handed me £10m tomorrow, I'm sure I'd lose sight of the value of money and spend uncontrollably for a while, but I'd enjoy doing it. I'd gladly take my chances with a lottery win to test your theory. I reckon if you won the lottery you'd stretch to a new pen to write your medical stuff with and maybe upgrade the car you've got to one with leather seats. And you'd get a new bathroom suite. That would be the extent of the change to your life. 173517[/snapback] Not much chance of me winning the lottery as I boycott the idiot tax. I like luxuries in my life as much as you, and I'd get the house etc. But I'd have to have some focus. And my main point is, money does not necessarily equate to happiness, quite the contrary in fact, which has been shown time and time again. For instance, why is the UK one of the wealthiest nations in the world and also one of the most miserable?

I also think you have to earn money to appreciate it.
