Not quite that simple on the Belgrano Fishtank,if it was anybody's fault it was the Junta who ordered her to push the boundries,also if she wasn't equipped with exocet her escorts certainly were,even the international Red cross said it was the right thing to do;https://falklandsnews.wordpress.com/201 ... red-cross/

How on earth have we got from a title of, "This Job Sucks". To discussing the merits or otherwise,of the sinking of a ship in a conflict that happened over 33 years ago,that is some tangent we have gone off on here. Meanwhile, the job still sucks , to some degree anyway.. :Very Happy

blimey!
didn't think this would be so political
i'd had a couple of gins on first post but still stand by the header, though tagging our managers with 2 nations leaders/tyrants was a tad harsh.
hitler/thatcher are better as they are both dead :left:
seriously though, the actual job is still the best on offer, a tiny bit of respect wouldn't go a miss,
i tried to give our new manager it, new start and all, and the initial ideas sounded fine,
but what a complete wan'ka!

The job doesn't usually suck, but last week certainly did. Worst ever week without a doubt for us, didn't take a packet from Tuesday onwards and was still over 2hrs over for the week!

had a decent 10 year roller coaster with many battles won & lost.
a new manager with people skills i can only put on par with thatcher/hitler & a union rep like homer simpson
our days are numbered
My manager and union rep are both like a 50/50 mix of Homer Simpson and Montgomery Burns. Both lazy and corrupt. I quite like the job, it's the way our DO is run that gets me down.
