In the meantime in preparation I shall spend a little time reading about Sikhism:

"Sikhs are expected to embody the qualities of a "Sant-Sipāhī"—a saint-soldier. Which means to love God, meditate on God, keep God in the heart, feel God's nearness and also be strong, courageous and ready to fight to protect weak people from cruel injustice attackers. One must have control over one's internal vices and be able to be constantly immersed in virtues clarified in the Guru Granth Sahib."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikhism
I spend my life trying to fit in but I always end up standing out.

Should all reps be Sikhs?
And the Kirpan may be useful at weekly resourcing meetings.

There are a number of religious prohibitions in Sikhism.

Prohibited are:

7.Worthless talk: Bragging, lying, slander, "back-stabbing", etc. are not permitted.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Deliveries aren't difficult, even on the worst walk in Britain all you have to do is walk around till your finish time and go home.

Ahh you make it sound so easy.

Technically your right of course, that's all you have to do, and a few years back with 3hr or less rounds this was true. :Very Happy

Things have moved on and 4hr 30mins is a different ball game. :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Would not bother me in the slightest to be in the minority!
I have worked with folk from Thailand,Philipines+Pakistan+India+ Jamaica+ Ireland+Spain+Africa ++++enjoyed every minute of it and learning about new cultures,etc....so much so I took 6 months off work 18 years ago and travelled the world(back packing)....think it broadened my horizons+ made me a better person and made me realise there is a great big wide world out there.

If you break it down to basics the soldiering isn't difficult. All you do is wait till someone starts shooting or making big bangs and shoot back. :wink: :wink:

Football is an easy game then - you wait for the referee to blow the whistle and you run up to one end and score a goal.

I would avoid deliveries. I've only been with the company 6yrs and have noticed a dramatic change. It doesn't keep you fit the job injures you. I have so many problems now I have to wear orthotics and they don't cure the problems! You tell your manager you can only work till your time and they look at you like you've killed a person! I've given up and just claim the overtime now. We don't have a main manager at the moment just a line manager so they let me claim but when we had our old manager I couldn't claim any overtime! Was told the usual you have plenty of time to complete your delivery. Basically stay clear of deliveries.

A prison sentence is easy - all you do is sit around and sleep in a room until yer allowed to go home.
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

Forgot to mention the paper reading, endless cups of coffee, and the snotty remarks to everyone else about how lazy they are........ :Very Happy
