Expenses. Polar bear has to pay someone to hold his coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Blackpool beach would be an advantage to the donkey and the polar bears be game as fuck on snow. MMA Ring, no holds barred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roman Christian historian Sextus Julius Africanus dated Jesus' conception to March 25 (the same date upon which he held that the world was created), which, after nine months in his mother's womb, would result in a December 25 birth. It's a made up day for a made up bloke, which ever deity you pick. So possible benefits fraud too ? Who's this Roman Christian African anyway that he knows when the deed was done. When the wick was dipped, if you will. Nobody liked a grass, even in them faraway made up days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a polar bear size donkey would still be a donkey and eat grass. The shits would be bigger but still roughage basically. A gang of donkey sized polar bears would be a fucking handful. Dead seal sized seals all over the shop. A PB sized donkey for me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of your complaints is that prospecting should be compensated, then you live on different planet. Speak to any sales guy in any industry, and they will tell you that prospecting dead ends are part of the job.

Most recently I spent time at Centrica as a Senior Originator, where I focused on development of new business streams including prepaid structures, route-to-market services for small energy producers (North Sea oil and gas producers and small electricity generators), and re-structuring of legacy contracts. Just for balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, we are subbies of a company that do the work for UU and so no one gives a shit as they all make a bit on top along the line. It's madness.

The guy person writing this is a moron I was told I needed to increase sales to schools (in stationery then) at the middle of June one time. I pointed out the school holidays and got a shrug of the boss's shoulders in response. 'Are we going to be having this same conversation next month?' He said. Not with me, you're not I replied, I'm finishing this brew then I'm off to the Hare and Hounds. And I did. I'd been made redundant from a real job six months before and never liked this job, in Haslingden. A month later I started being a support worker and never worked a day since.
