Apparently Anita is signing for Leeds

This post could be from 5 years ago

Just watched PL Legends with Sol Campbell. Just basically called the FA Racist. Said if he was white he would have been England Captain more than 3 times. Said he was the best defender in the world.

This tbf. We have to sign players after letting people go, but I am not concerned yet. Are fans of other clubs who havent signed anyone pissing their pants yet? I doubt it.

Again this was on TalkSport so apologies. Last night they were talking about Wilshire coming to the end of his contract and Arsenal offering him another despite him being a crock. They said they are doing that so they can safe guard losing a £25m player. FFS I wouldnt give them 25p for him.

Nice one, I shall get on them

I made the mistake of listening to TalkSport on the drive in this morning. Quinn saying we have apparently gone from a transfer budget of £100m to £30m. Said we have apparently gone in for a few players but were not playing ball with the prices. Ashley is well and truly in control.

@Park Life what sci fi books do you recommend? Been years since I've read any.

No, is it under the same name? Will have a look.

8 Tram?!!? WOW. that alone is just mental.

Channel 4 news last week interviewed some people who were involved in the Finsbury Mosque attack. One was the women who videoed it. I said at the time, why didnt Snow ask her, 'Why when everyone else is trying to get the police etc did you just stand and film it' Freaks

Aye that's my thoughts especially for sign off.

Missing as in never put in of missing as in damaged and never replaced or missing as in nicked?

Got a Kindle paper white for my birthday. Well happy with it

Aye Just watching the first in the 3rd series.

Really enjoying Better call Saul at the moment. Part way through the second series.

Last weeks Friday night comedy podcast is class

A new one on 5Live called Beyond Reasonable doubt. Along the guise of the other murder podcast. Short 15min episodes. Not bad so far.

Yep. Ve is one of the fucking worse things ever. I assume that's whats happened with this cladding. I have done so many jobs in the past few years that you get it at Stage 2 and you can just look at drawings and say 'Thats going, thats going, that wont happen, that will get moved' because you just know its "too expensive" to do. Even for simple houses!

Very much. We also have a system called BIM in the industry which is now mandatory on all government projects. Contractors and clients have a very poor understanding of this and think it makes everything quicker and easier to do on a whole.

I first started as a junior 19 years ago. The noticeable shift probably started about 8 years ago. I worked at a company where we did QE hospital in Birmingham. It was a c£600m contract (Cant remember the full build cost) and that was probably the last job where the contractor was very good. We needed to put some retaining walls in. QS said it was too expensive and we needed a work around. Contractor in the meeting told the QS to shove it as it would save 2 weeks on programme due to the easier way of constructing it. Yes the cost initially was a lot but 2 weeks on programme dwarfed that. You dont get that any more. Contractors are wanting profit in such a competitive market and they're under so much pressure and as a result they now have more power than us lot. They expect us to have designs done before the architect has done their bit. Its a fucked system. If I could make money elsewhere that I do now, I would leave. But I would have to retrain and therefore drop wage, which I dont want to nor really can afford if I want to continue living my lifestyle I have now.

The industry is a joke. All a QS does is looking at £s and ps on a sheet. There is no thought in how a building goes together, the longevity of a building etc. When I first started we did some great looking buildings and it was superb. Now its fucking shit. Pressure from contractors on a daily basis. You ask for an extra 0.1% of a fee for a change and you get told to get fucked more or less. Architects get all the fee and all the glory and do FUCK ALL nowadays.
