She might need to talk to her booking agent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26898 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Just read the contract, T&C's of my new job and not quite as good as I thought. Pay seems ok but one or two things I'm not too happy with, their union wants shot with shit for signing some of it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26898 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, Renton said: Did you get a canny bag of: For your troubles? No, but I did get a drunken nosh from his lass a few weeks later after a drink with workmates. (Unfortunately I was out of it otherwise I would've stopped her if I was remotely sensible). I felt terrible at the time but I couldn't stand the kid at times as he could be a right prick when he wanted to be, the favour was for another mate who was seeing the kids sister who was stunning so he obviously wanted to keep her happy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30440 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Once helped a mate move from Melbourne Court in town to a place near Chilly Road. He’s sound but to say he needs a rocket up his jacksie at times is an understatement. I knew it was going to be a long day when I turned up and most of his stuff hadn’t even packed his (now ex) lass, who was also moving was a right miserable fucker too. I don’t even think she spoke the whole time, let alone said thanks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been three months since I was made redundant and things were looking bleak job wise after I'd exhausted some good early leads because some of the few jobs available belonged in a Dicken's novel just going on the T&Cs. I honestly feel like crying with the relief of it. Easy to get to and no bad traffic time starts. Thank christ for that. Aaaaand breathe.... Great news mate but tinged with sadness that fucking lazy cunt is no more. Do you think they would be amenable to making your Saturday half shifts on the afternoon rather than the morning ?? Winter only, you can do morning in the summer, just thinking about what’s best for NUFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
