The labour party looking at jukels pension

I was a Maintenance Manager and the owner started kicking off f***ing and blinding at me. I warned him I would walk. He carried on I threw my tools in my truck and f****d off I was 62 at the time. If they start walking over you it will get worse and worse. Struggled for a while nobody want you at 62 but bought some tools mower, strimmer, chainsaw etc drove machines and farm work made nice little living and no stress. Never realised that job was killing me, boy did he do me a favour in kicking off. Cheers Arry

So it's quite easy with Ken as my boss...if a problem is encountered we have a chat to see how to solve it...we listen to each others ideas then both agree I was right and we do it my way....

You could get piece of paper put all pluses one side of the page all the negatives the other see how they measure up. I gave up a job on the cards at 62 went self employed I didn't earn as much but I was my own boss again. Took on what jobs I wanted worked for who I wanted it was different every day. Happy to get up in the morning. Worked for a few grumpy old buggers but they new I would just leave their garden or what ever I was doing if they pushed it. Could have retired at 65 but did another year because customers wanted me too. In the end I just said no more well almost no Lol. There

You're either a good manager , or you aren't. Being a good man manager isn't something that you can learn . You either have it or you don't. You can learn management techniques and buzz words , and have a fist full of management qualifications, but , none of it is worth a wank if you don't understand people.

I’ve often thought about importing dogs, ( I’ve actually imported three; two from Australia and one from Saudi, but they weren’t working dogs). So why import , well it would be more from the heart than the head, there’s nothing in this country that can’t be caught with our own types and breeds. Years ago, imported Salukis added to the coursing dog, but would they add anything now ? I doubt it. Staghounds from Australia ? I’ve seen them work and as impressive as they are, they are for the ground and quarry down there, probably not for here. They may add something, but I’m not sur

Open the doors on the stove mate lol ...

I work with my boys, I’d be the first with my head down a sewer man hole, and I expect them to do the same, I won’t push them to do something I’m not prepared to do. We have a laugh but I do tell them to get moving, we have stupid phrases that we make up and use for a few days,we have a simple rule , I tell them what to do and they get it done, with me on the tools. No point going to work to upset everyone,it’s a struggle with out bad feeling in the air allday

Something I’ve learned recently lads you can be a good Friendly honest hard working man but bosses or companies you work for is they will take the piss if they can and you let them! Stand your ground don’t let them take the piss out of you lads because they will. My experience with this is I’m 10k down from October last year as I was paying myself a top up wage out of savings because I was letting people take the piss out of me thinking we were all buddy buddies swings in roundabouts bull shit till i cracked and it was effecting family life. Gotta make it clear it’s a business transaction your

Iv just been told if im not willing to do 7 till 7 hours next week don’t bother coming in …..My Answer was get f****d iv just jacked

Fitz, 7 1/2 Mth. See how he goes.

Go for a multi fuel stove Francie you know it makes sense.lol. Pulled the back boiler out on Thursday evening and it's being replaced with a multi fuel stove, can't wait if I'm honest.

I’ve generally had very good bosses, but one incident springs to mind. Two of the directors called me into the office and said they had been told I left a training course early and they were going to suspend me for a week. They didn’t ask my version of events, so I told them they wouldn’t be suspending me, as I was already pondering an offer from one of their competitors, and they had just made my mind up for me ! As I was leaving, they said please wait and let us discuss it, I replied that they couldn’t think much of my worth to the company if they could do without my input for a week

I felt the world had been lifted off my shoulders when me and the Mrs got our pensions. First time in our lives we were free. Brilliant feeling still.

Non-ped whippet; Back in the 60’s. Cheers.

A little side hustle I have is a pie cart to events. Just dropped off and set up at a wedding earlier, lovely place at farm that does barn weddings. Hope the young couple are pleased with it .

K'nell Dido, Baldrick has had better jobs than you. You possess a lot of dark resentment You need to develop,a more left wing, 'I'm as good as anybody' outlook. I'll send you a Starmer party correspondence course on self esteem.

Get the popcorn, enjoy the chitshow, this lot are going to tear themselves apart in no time, Reform are now in a good position to take advantage of their inevitable loonacy and collapse I don't believe that Labour will be any worse than than Tories have been or any better, the pushback can only go one way now and that will be right wing populism. On another note , did anyone see the state of Rayner yesterday when she went to no10? ....looked like she'd been kicked up and down Primark

I was sort of in a management role mainly managing incidents, but when managing people I found every person was different and had to be managed separately a lot of the old reverse psychology comes into play you have just got to be able to read people to get the best out of them, still I haven't got that problem any more, as others have said a weight off the shoulders free to do what I want.

Bosses are like napkins full of shit and always hanging round your arse

I have a 12kilowatt wood burner in my house that takes 2ft logs but if you want to keep the open fire just cut some ply wider than the opening and bring the head down a few inches at a time until it starts drawing properly the opening is to high I suspect causing the smoke to roll in the opening before catching the updraft

Who says? Platt? What's hes selling? Pups! Any lurcher with half greyhound in it will chase and some will be crackers. But he's not breeding proven dog to proven dog. Be great to import some straws/staghounds from Oz and America and introduce some genuine working blood into the deer/ greys we have over here. Nice project for some of you younger fellas.

Yet my casio hasn't dropped, who's laughing now!

Plenty of deerhound/greyhounds being worked to all sorts, in this country. Just because someone on here, don't know that, doesn't mean it ain't happening.

My lad did his first nighter up the lake on his own Friday....best of 4 fish

England were awful. So much attacking talent and they sat off the Swiss like they were Brazil. Switzerland the better team over 120 minutes for me. England at least look like they’ve got a team of penalty takers…, and I reckon they’re going to need them.

Not much mate, wanted to get it under my belt my pal runs muck away company and skips so can jump on the tippers or loader if and whenever I want.. it’s more of a plan b

I remember gamekeeping and sat having dinner listening to the guns discussing their cleaning staff.... I realised they paid their cleaners more than I got paid keepering 7 days a week. I then went into hunt kennels, 13 days a fortnight, really grafting, skinning knackers and massive stress on hunting days. I'd see amateur whips and helpers out, both in kennels and on hunting days be treated like heroes, all the glory and no stress. So I went farming. Minimum wage, sat eating my dinner in the dairy freezing my nuts off getting up regularly to check on calving cows. Or eating my dinne

20 odd years ago I worked as a groundsmen at an old country house that had been turned into a conference centre, we had about 20acres of grounds plus woodland and surrounded by 1000s of acres of farmland. There were reports locally of a big cat sighting a few miles down the road, anyhow i started finding the reminants of old sheep carcasses on the edge of our woodland and mentioned this to a couple of the maintenance lads, we all decided to do a big search of the woodland and came across a mauled roe deer that had been dragged and wedged in a fallen tree over some old metal railings one of the

I can recreate the English deerhound in a mear 18month or just over

Woodburner/ Mutifuel burner mate they are brilliant mate no wasted heat no smoke. As well you can f**k off down the pub without a worry about the open fire and sparks. I would never go back from Woodburner to open fire. Could always get a big bugger in that space and would look nice. Cheers Arry

Multi fuel stove mate

Cheers Arry

Always found if you’re decent with people and willing to come and go a bit, giving lads a flier or two when they need it or when it’s quiet, and are always accommodating wherever possible if they have personal issues/appointments etc. that the decent ones will come through for you when you need them. There’s always one or two who want to abuse that trust and privilege, so I’d look to get rid asap. Decent lads don’t like the piss takers any more than the gaffer in that respect, as it just fcuks it up for everyone. Some managers think that all that’s needed is a rod and no carrot…, they’re the o

FairPlay to you mate I’d walk out of any job as soon as they started behaving like they owned me I look at it slightly different and consider them lucky to have me

STOP...well it is on mine

Your post struck a chord with me. I’ve been doing the same(ish) type of job for nearly 20 years. Guys I worked with years ago (mostly dead and a few retired) probably forgot more about the job than some of the fcuking idiots I work with now. I’m 52 and I know it’s my job to be a bit grumpy and moan about how things were always better in ‘ the good old days’ but recently I’ve realised that I’m actually fcuking miserable. Problem is I’m earning a lot more than I think I could if I moved on, and at my age it’s a bit of a daunting thought. Feels like a bit of a crossroads and I’m sort of in the pr

Sadly the man managers, the ones who could incentivise men and gain their respect, are much thinner on the ground nowadays.

My Mrs pup this afternoon,I think this thing will catch pigeons so quick it is,time will tell no doubt

Black & tan dog is out of my son's 5/8 Grey 3/8 Bull 'Roxy' ..she's been a very good animal,does all & everything in textbook fashion,the red dog is out of a Wheaton/Irish Terrier x Grey bitch back to a Minshaw dog,we had her all her life,she was called Fenn.. Roxy the black dog (dam of black & tan) & Fenn the white (dam to red dog)

“Scottish Deerhound “ is a Scottish Deerhound. ”English Deerhound “ is a cross between a Scottish Deerhound and a Greyhound. Simple as that, really…… Cheers.

The English Deerhounds are just deerhound xs
