Thank you for taking one for the lads - the sacrifice of having to read the scourier for us is most appreciated.

Thank you TBT,

Someone has to do this sacrifice for the sake of ridiculing this propoganda machine by RM-----it's not easy but it has to be done.
But there is only so many cheesey faces one can handle at one time :Very Happy

For the first time in my twelve years at RM, mine went straight in the bin unopened. That's because I already know exactly whats in it.

:lfo was quite partial to Morris Dancing - he apparently went to church every sunday according to The Church Times :left: - RM must think people are a bit simple :hmmmm

the bit about the Ken Loach film and a very dubious connection with RM's destructive and divisive version of team working is absolutely laughable . His films are usually left wing agit - prop films , the one about the trackworkers in a botched privatization rail industry is one case in point , the last one was about the Black and Tans in Ireland . :d'oh! :d'oh! - it wasn't exactly a Merchant Ivory Film :Very Happy

He's hardly going to depict the virtues of colleague shares and corporate clap trap . :hmmmm

Nope! It's Simon & Garfunkel :crazy:

I haven't opened my Courier rag for about 8 months now, I'm going to sell them on eBay and make a fortune! Well, them and a couple of hundred red elastic bands- only used once, great condition, well... snapped. Daily Heil readers will be queueing to buy them so they can litter the streets. So unless anybody on here is interested...unread Courier rags, going once....

I thought that style of photography went out decades ago , back to the days when the photographer went under a black cloth and somebody lit magnesium powder as I've never seen such wooden looking people in my life .

To cap it all , they're often not staff , they're pen pushers and managers as often nobody else would be daft enough to go along with it all .
