Well they could be wringing their hands, shaking their heads in self recrimination or more likely they couldn't give a f*ck because they are no longer part and parcel of RMG.Big Daz wrote:I wonder what mssrs Leighton and Crozier will have to say

It could be deal of the decade, or millennium, or in fairness no one ever specified which century, we assumed it was the 21st, or maybe a late 20th, what if it was the 10th, or 11th centurydvbuk55 wrote:Well now that the union bods have breasted the parapet the news must be bad...........so get ready for the spin doctor to weave his web..............this could turn out to be yet another deal of..........no surely not....one of those every 100 years is more than enough.
the age of serfdom, bonded labour, and all the attendant levels of H&S, DRAW, occupational health, pensions, etc of those eras

Waiting for a statement from on high is a bit like hanging round the old folks home for a date...........you don't really want to ............you know you're not going to enjoy it...........but you do it nevertheless and then you're going to lie about itsmokerjim wrote:It could be deal of the decade, or millennium, or in fairness no one ever specified which century, we assumed it was the 21st, or maybe a late 20th, what if it was the 10th, or 11th centurydvbuk55 wrote:Well now that the union bods have breasted the parapet the news must be bad...........so get ready for the spin doctor to weave his web..............this could turn out to be yet another deal of..........no surely not....one of those every 100 years is more than enough.

Re: colleague shares??
Hmmm this post makes we wonder if Dingo is here to talk down the shares thingy so that if we get a decent amount but have hoops to jump through it will seem like a good deal, or if he is trying to stoke the anger in preparation for a move by HQ.dingo wrote:Announcement due !!!

However just to point out you hide bad news with someone else's bad news or you sweeten the pill with some good news to hide the crap. You certainly don't hide the bad news by lumping it all together.

What makes you think that the high echelons of the union ( on the evidence offered over the last 4 years ) actually has anything vaguely resembling a clue?CourtneyCox wrote:However just to point out you hide bad news with someone else's bad news or you sweeten the pill with some good news to hide the crap.

Yes, but with Blundering Billy it just comes naturally, with no intent! I truly do not think the man actually knows what he is talking about! I stumbled on his blog a few days ago, HELP! Also noticed that there are one or two facebook sites about him, i'e, billys tummy-- and they actually have members.
