to open your Christmas cards as they drop through the letter box, hoping those friends you dont seem to have to time to ring through the year but still want to keep in touch with have remembered you. Then, the dreaded Round Robin 4 page A4 prose drops onto the floor. Surely most self respecting people would be out stressing about what to buy for presents, worrying about what to wear for the works party and making lists of food to buy for the big day. But no these people spend at least 3 hours composing a veritable resume of their life over the last year. The question is do we want, or do we have time to hear it?

Nigel and I have had a wonderful year we visited Venice for the first time it was soooooooo romantic if a little expensive.
(He’s stopped shagging around at last then)

We intend to go to Mauritius again in the New Year after our new 5 bed house in Surrey is finished.
(Did you forget I live in a rented Council House)

Our eldest daughter Charlotte seems to have found the man of her dreams.
(I know her fcking name I’m her godmother ffs).

Nigel loves being retired and revels in the time he can spend doing up his classic cars.
(Retirement my ar se he got sacked I saw it on News at Ten and I taped it for prosperity)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Graham and I still havent sold our B and B although we did come very close.
(We told you not to move to the north of Scotland but would you listen nooooooo)

Vikki got a First Class Honours degree we are so proud and she is hoping to go into nursing.
(My boy got his First Aid at Work certificate in November you know)

James has a steady girlfriend who is adorable we all love her.
(If I was 30 years younger I’d shag James too)

Grahams Parkinsons has progressed to the point that the drugs dont seem to be helping he becomes very aggresive and I’m finding it very difficult to cope with.
(Now I feel a cow for moaning about Round Robins because Graham is one of the nicest people Ive ever known
and however shtye our lives seem at times surely we can spare a few minutes to listen to others).

amen to that rosie !!! xxx

What else do staff at any job do ? Just let the company roll over them ?

of course not Pete, but BA is in trouble, its making very large losses and has presented the workforce with the very real job losses and cut in staff. The guys at the head of the company have one job to do and thats to make the company work, of course its no joke losing your job but, there are always natural surpluses in staff with voluntary redundancies and early retirements to be had, however, it seems to me that the staff have been told whats going on , exactly how many losses and extra work to do, i heard this morning also that the average cabin crew worker on BA gets c£29,000 pa in comparison to the average wage on virgin and easy jet of around £14,000 pa.

we are in a recession and whilst i dont condone gun ho staff cutting , sometimes it has to be done , and yes i have been at the raw end of a company doing this, of course its upsetting and can be soul destroying but at the end the day if i had to lose my job so a man or a woman with a young family can keep theres then so be it, taking this sort of action hurts the ordinary person in the street more as well as the bosses of the companies, all I am saying is the company havent just gone eeny meeny miny mo to find ways of recouping losses the people that are being paid to do their jobs at the top are doing just that.

As far as BA are concerned lets face it with companies like virgin and easy jet amongst others, I would imagine if they dont do something the whole lot will fold anyways.. they will be the losers in the end as passengers will lose faith in them and not fly with them if there is any alternative etc etc

of course there are companies that walk all over their workforce and I do beleive that unions are a necessity to bring it all together, however in my case i found the bluddy union more of a hinderance than anything.

all that said i would be interested in knowing if the bosses have taken a wage freeze too?

It is said that, after some time has passed, a prisoner gets used to having his food pissed in and spat in every day. Apparently they also get used to daily forcible sodomy.

I expect that the Human Rights nazis will be screaming their lungs out in protest for years to come.

Still never mind, expensive lawyers will always be on hand to defend his ‘rights’ …… and the best bit is – you are all paying for it !!!!!

Human rights? these people never gave a thought to the human rights of this baby, they deserve everything they get, there is no rehabilitation, no special care, no special rights should ever be given to them, anyone who beleives they should have any form of human rights should read exactly how this baby was found, exactly how many injuries this poor little one suffered, i cannot now, and never will read the whole story, the headlines 8 broken ribs, a broken back, and a tooth was found in his colon where he had been hit in the mouth and swallowed it should be enough!!!!

did anyone care about this baby , wasnt there anyone in the ‘family’ or neighbours who suspected anything?

Baby Peter is now at rest, and i for one cannot comprehend the suffering this poor baby had for his brief life on this earth.

Well thank you cath … as for being a ‘grown up’ – there’s absolutely no danger of that whatsoever so you can relax.
