Bit of a result!

Serious advice though, log on to companies house website and make sure
you are fully au fait with exactly what responsibilities go with being
a company director.

 

Congrats. Nice one.

 

You're not the first to mention this. I will certainly do that.
Thanks for the advice.

Too much exposure to lizard 'upper-middle-managers' who always speak weasel
words. they get very shirty when I speak my mind. maybe it'll be different
at board level. Hope so. The chairman is a top bloke. Speak his mind too.
doesn't take any BS either which is good.

Jb.

 

Did I really type that. Oh dearie, dearie me.

Bit better than walking the plank.

Congrats, btw, and thanks for the batteries.

 

Was just looking at Aldi's latest offers: Champagne glasses 180 ml,
red wine glasses 590 ml, white wine glasses 340 ml. No wonder Britain is
binge drinking. A wine bottle is 750 ml; that red wine glass is 580*13%/10
7.5 units of alcohol! (..and nearly 80% of a bottle in its own right...)

You don't have to fill them, y'know.

Drinking a decent red from a small glass is *horrible*.

And serving beer in small glasses stopped Australians binge drinking?

 

Check the books just in case they're fucked and they needed a newbie
to blame it on

 

That's not "political correctness", that's simply incompetence. If a
manager can't explain or deal with a situation without recourse to
bullshit or lies then they're not fit.

Managing expectations and office politics are other games altogether but
neither is 'political correctness'.

Treating people with honesty and respect is a usable practical definition
of being 'politically correct'.

 

A lot of the beer monsters I've known would only drink draught beer in
half-pint glasses. A pint seems daunting when you're on one
apparently, whereas a half is one gulp big.

 

Ah, another one joins the ranks of the Imperialist Lackeys.

 

BT,DT, declined the opportunity.

 

S'true. When I went over to NL, I stopped drinking from pint glasses -
they use little tiddly things. I thought I'd end up [1] a lightweight,
but the opposite happened. I was able to keep drinking from these
thimbles from early evening until 4 or 5 am - something I couldn't do
with pints.

Course, over here, they do 24 or 32 fl oz glasses, and so I've returned
to lightweight status.

I used to drink in a 6 o'clock club. Usually 6 of us. We'd start with
halves of draught Bass. Each buying a round. By the time the first round
was served someone would be ordering the next. Once everyone had bought a
beer round we would repeat the process with G&Ts.

We'd be done by 7.30pm and most would toddle off to their cars and go home.
I usually drove to my village pub and had a few more beers. Amazingly none
of us were done for drink driving, none of us died and none of us killed
anyone. This was 20 years ago and within a year or two there was a cultural
shift and most of us gave up the cavalier attitude to drink driving.

 

I think the anti-DD campaign is one road safety initiative that really
has worked, and where the government(s) and road safety organisations
have really succeeded in causing a mindshift, to the extent that it's
now considered unacceptable by most people.

However, they obviously think they can achieve the same result by
getting 'speeding' to invite similar popular opprobrium, and I don't
think that horse will run.

A bit like the Yanks, having beaten Japan in 1945, reckoning they can
beat anyone. The DD campaign is a bit of a one-off.

 

So you don't think the 'drink driving law' was a step on the road to the
police state that the UK is becoming? That the law has destroyed more
lives than it has saved?
How would you like it if speedometers were unavailable and you would
get a year's driving ban for exceeding 60mph? That's about as logical
as the current law. The punishment should fit the crime....

 

I can sort of see your point. I was done for DD 19 years ago. I was
parked up outside my house at the time but had been followed as I had
clipped the white line (of the road I was turning into) while turning
right.

I got a 18 month ban.
