    Oooooooh Chan has just hit a nerve there with "Diversity Awareness training". Biggest load of old bollocks I have ever seen. As if diversity in the workplace suddenly improves a company's performance overnight.

    Yesterday the SPD here in Germany elected their first ever woman leader. Well that's it then isn't it? After years of repression womanhood has finally made it to the apex of Germany's traditional socialist party. Surely it is a "slam dunk" that she will be the next Chancellor. You know what love? You haven't got a ****ing prayer.

    Diversity my ****ing arse, all a load of PC bollocks to get top jobs for people who think the world owes them a living because of their race/sex/sexuality/**** knows what. Talent is what gets results, not ****ing gender awareness. What a ****ing world we have created <doh>

    Agreed, I was taking the piss. The Beeb (which I am a fan of) were guilty of a little jingoism that's all. When I worked at a local College we had a little 3 hour diversity training programme called Black Coffee, White Coffee. I worked there for 9 years and managed to avoid it. Colleagues that went on it reckoned it was the the biggest load of pretentious old bollox they'd ever had to endure. They did also point out that they were still being paid though. Although I avoided that I did get 3 line whipped onto a Female Genital Mutilation training session. It was a Home Office course and part of the Prevent strategy I think. Anyway you got diagrams of all the different types that could be inflicted on these poor kids. I did query on what planet they thought a teenage girl likely of African heritage would approach a late forties white guy in a College and confide they'd had their undercarriage tinkered with. And if that impossibly unlikely scenario were to occur would a satisfactory response on my part be to ask to inspect the said area so I could identify the particular type. <doh>. I did pass with flying colours but it isn't pride of place on my CV.

    The dilemma that faces Moderators...

    A short time ago, I referred to “the revolting peasants” in a post that was deemed racist and was deleted.

    The problem is that the term could be misconstrued because of the possible definitions of ‘revolting’. As the peasants in that circumstance where the French proletariat rising up (the French Revolution), it might be reasonable to conclude that revolting was “rise in rebellion or insurrection” rather than “causing disgust, repulsion or abhorrence”.

    From my reading of the situation, I think bayernkenny means the same definition of ‘revolting’ because the drinkers of Irn Bru have been very vocal in their objections to the manufacturer tinkering with the recipe of their favourite tipple – it even made the news south of the Border.

    Given that he is one of ‘the natives’, the other definition would surely present a form of self flagellation... <laugh>

    Jobworths.
    Yesterday flying back into my local airport i had 240 cigs for someone. The 40 were added as free extras to the 200 box. They were took off me as they are over 200 allowance and i did not declare them.
    I could have put 10x200 boxes in the spare room in my case if i was smuggling, but computer said NO to the customs chap, i was 40 over.

    "self flagellation" I am becoming increasingly curious and suspicious of how some of my fellow contributors are aware of the hobbies I undertake (under the supervision of certain young eastern European migrants; thank you Anthony Charles Lynton Blair) within the confines of my local Gentleman's Club. I feel that at this point it behoves me to inform my fellows that this practice has no religious bent on my part; it is purely a recreation instilled from my jolly and rather strict education at a certain boys only school in Auld Reekie.

    I can certainly vouch for QM's belief that individuals from north of Hadrian's Wall with more addictive traits are extremely unhappy about the change in the contents of Irn Bru. Although we come from opposite ends of the political spectrum I have to side with his view on this very important matter of free speech!

    Come to think of it I felt the same way many years ago when the H. J. Heinz Company changed the ingredients in their cream of chicken soup.

    Must confess that I had my rant of the day when I got to the newsagent’s and discovered that they had sold out of the ‘Daily Mail’. I was therefore unable to secure a copy of the '16 Page Royal Birth Souvenir Pull-out’. I was Disconsolate, with a capital ‘D’, let me tell you.

    Robbie Savage – the biggest tosser in the history of football punditry.

    Just what did he win as a footballer? Why is it that when a British team is playing a foreign team that the decisions are always wrong when they are against the British team? The BBC should really kick this tosser into the long grass.

    Felt the same way in
    A 'like' not nearly enough to show my agreement with this perceptive comment.

    Somebody please murder Donal MacIntyre. When he is dead we can switch channel and watch ‘Donal MacIntyre Murdered File’ without having to put up with adverts for the show featuring him at every advert break on a sister channel. Even the Irish must be fed up with the sound of his voice.

    He is the footballing equivalent of Darren Gough in broadcasting terms. Goughie was the better dancer however.

    'Talksport' seem to 'employ' several individuals who cannot construct a lucid argument on many sports but predominantly footballs matters. Opinions are stated as facts and some of the facts spat out are complete nonsense.

    Step forward Darren Gough, Jason Cundy and Alan Brazil who discuss/argue like five or six year old kids who have just started primary school and taken part in their first disagreement outwith their family environment. Listening to these a-holes reminds me of viewing a scary programme on the TV at an early age and wanting to turn off the set but being unable to in case I missed something. Christ; my DAB Pure One Elite wireless has nearly gone out of my third floor window many times! The only thing holding me back from this extreme action is the thought I would 'hit' some innocent passer by on the bonce and be charged with manslaughter!

    When my wife had a baby I think it got a 1 liner in the births column of the local Bucks Free Press. I think that is plenty for any baby. I'm glad I never buy newspapers. I dread to think what 1 page could contain; 19?????? <yikes><yikes> Maybe it started off with the foreplay stage and went on from there?
