FFS! Idiots

In that case, between contracting and CET, I'm on 27 years for the same
employer - only the name has changed

 

looks like the landing gear was based on a hospital bed

 

The Wasp is the naval version - the land version, the Scout had the more
usual skids.

 

In my experience of being a small company director, the work itself is
fairly easy, it's employing people that is the stress factor, as most
have their own agenda, and do not share the same values as you.

I would not consider going back to that role and quite like being a
wage slave.

That's been outside Asda in Swindon numerous times over the last god
knows how many years. I reckon I could single-handedly restore a
Concorde in less time than it's taking them to do that.

On a visit to Duxford me and my mate Allun were watching a team of guys
restoring a Spitfire. Allun walks up to the barrier and asks "How long
have you been working on this one then?", one of the guys looks across
and says "About 2 years", Al responds with "Jesus Christ, it only took
a team of unskilled women 3 days to build the fucking thing in the
first place."

 

Yebbut, the product testing was done under fire.

 

Well, that's one nail you hit fairly and squarely on the head ...

 

Nonetheless a welcome alternative to the one-eyed yellow bear.

 

So simple, so bloody addictive.

 

I watched him years ago and found him hilarious but that may have been
due to the smoky atmosphere.

Does he still groom badgers for the badger parade?

 

Of course they have their own agenda - their autonomous human beings,
with their own priorties.

And, as the values of someone running their own business is likely to
be "make me lots of money", it's hardly surprising that his employees
don't share the same focus on making the boss lots of money.

 

Surely JAL is just as good, if not better?

 

rubbish.

Not on TV Burp, no. I think there was some kind of dispute with Gareth
Southgate Badger over working conditions.

 

Not exactly my main problem - there seems to be a lot of in-fighting
between individuals started up of late

Of course, you can turn it to your advantage, but ...

 

Not in my experience.

Plus on BA I'd have a good chance of an upgrade to first...

 

I like the food on JAL, but I like most oriental food.
