I had a problem with my printer for the Luton game. I took a pic of the ticket and email. The incredibly helpful staff in the ticket booth took pity, realised the idiot that I am, and printed off a ticket for me with no charge (should've been £5).
I can see the tickets in my membership zone, but it doesn’t give me an option to email them or print them?
Did you fully recover from the fractured pelvis and hip joint? Or need surgery to pin it? My step father is a gas head, but lives in the vale of Glamorgan and now a Cardiff City season ticket holder. I’m convinced he does it to wind up me and my brother. So yep you was lucky your dad was a city fan
TRY A PRINT SCREEN … THEN OPEN IN PAINT /PHOTO SHOP programme to make a pic don't know the site, but also try a right click on tickets you might get print/ save/saveas /copy come up … ALSO don't forget your compo entry!!
My car accident was in 1982, the one bit of luck I had was the on call BRI orthopedic surgeon was old school and used an old school method called a green screw that went went into the femur head with traction and further screw through my tibia again with traction, that stayed on for about 18 weeks and wasn’t removed 2 weeks into my rehab at Winford, I was in hospital for a total of 22 weeks. I needed to learn to walk without any sign of a limp to resume my specialisation work wise, I am lucky to be alive and further lucky that I have a very high resistance to pain, I have needed 2 new hips for over 20 years but was advised not to have surgery until the pain was unbearable, I can shut that pain out.
With that lot, you will need a high pain threshold. My stepfather had 2 hip replacements and he hung on in there till he reached an age where if they failed at 10-15 years he won’t be around.
Bearing in mind that was 1982, did you have any issues with your bosses, either wanting you out of, or supporting back into, your specialist work? Just out of interest really!
The bosses could not have been more supportive, but back then they were proper bosses who actually gave a **** about more than themselves. Fast forward to 1997/1999 and what bunch of back stabbing, lying, law breaking, cowardly, evil, self serving C U Next Tuesdays the newer generation of bosses had morphed into, it took a high court judicial review and and later judge in chambers order + £55k of legal expenses for them to see the error of their law breaking way.
I was wondering if it was something like that! I obviously don't know the ins-and-outs of the latter issue but I really can understand where you're coming from. I left my role in 2009 after an incident involving one of my family; outside of my office was an "Investors in People" plaque All I wanted to do was spit on it as I left the building for the last time!!
I will let you know when I am on one of my visits to Portishead and meet up for a pint, we didn't have much time to talk at the mini school reunion.
Times and management have changed and not for the better. I used to manage lots of people worldwide up to 2011 and considered myself to be a firm but very fair Manager. No one ever complained about my style or my treatment of them, and I am still in touch with many people that worked for me even now. But how times have changed ! Work, people management and the boundaries that surround it all in many respects, is totally unrecognisable today from when I first started work in 1978. I am now a simple employee in a huge national telecoms company who works part time. The culture I'm in is one of bullying, favouritism, and micro management by woke clueless people and the diversity training we have to do makes me want to spit.
When I first went into my specialisation in 1977 I was told in no uncertain terms by my instructor "if I think you are not up to it, you will be gone the same day back to your normal role". The last 5 years I was head instructor and was told "if we send you a plank of wood and you cannot train that plank of wood, it is you that has failed, not the plank of wood" and boy did they send me some planks of wood.
