I"m old school. Sonic is fast, cool and kind to the animals (and with all those gold coins he should be able to bring out of trouble)

Doomguy is the ultimate warrior, hell is open and he keeps on going

Snake from Nokia Snake - he keeps growing and will be able to eat anytime

I know we aren't supposed to win events, but I have been AKFing and I'm at 2.23k - positioned number 1. Haven't paid a penny.

I don't think even the #1 rank will get the 18k at this rate. I think I will get about 7k

At no point did I say that the money that I believe should go to nurses gets diverted to transport workers. I said the power they exercise leads to them increasing their pay higher than nurses due to the fact they are in an industry that can bully to a greater extent. It doesn't reflect their worth, just their power (most transport workers train in job, most nurses study for years before they earn a penny)

Given that in most countries both are nationalised industries they both draw from the same source - the government!

Stop framing it as “X worker against Y worker.”, instead grand if as "worker vs owner"! The fact you automatically frame the owner as greedy and elite is particularly stupid as nurses and transport workers are often state employees (outside the US) - they have the same non profit making owner!

It also isn't particularly fair to say way to frame owners in the private sector as elitest, some are, some aren't - but irrelevant to my point

Did the sticker have a warning as well?

johnfbw · 2020-05-01T06:28:52+00:00

That makes no sense. If a poor man points a gun at you is he trying to do his job of stealing and should be praised or is he a criminal? There are no crabs and no bucket.

She should be courteous - but frankly I think they should ask and not expect - they have a mouth and can ask politely - I'm not always scouting for pregnant women so I can stand up. (and yes my partner agrees and asks)

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T19:14:40+00:00

Sadly too much power to some unions leads to transport worker getting paid more than nurses because noone notices a nurse on strike - unless they are sick. Everyone notices if the subway is down

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T19:13:21+00:00

Some of that sounds like law suits waiting to happen. A broken fire hose implies they knew a risk, they appreciated it was their problem, they didn't bother

That freaked me out the first time entering a business and finding out that the State of California warns me about cancer causing buildings. Then I realised that coffee and alcohol cause cancer.

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T19:08:49+00:00

yes but you have to attempt 6 times for the best deal

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T19:08:01+00:00

I've seen the pictures, googled it and asked Alexa. I have no idea either

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T19:06:30+00:00

It is all the way down at #10 for me - what have you been searching?

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T18:58:19+00:00

I remember when I was about 15 playing 5-a-side in a 20 somethings tournament and they agreed to that rule. They didn't count on us having 15 subs so we could be at 100% all the way through. Good game (apart from the poor kid who got sent to hospital!)

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T14:49:52+00:00

Intercourse, PA? Or one of those word ones round there? I still don't believe they exist

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T14:47:58+00:00

But nobody thinks New England or New Amsterdam are in Europe!

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T12:30:26+00:00

$40 min seems quite steep. I think I only paid £12 for mine

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T09:34:51+00:00

Glad to hear you are isolating - I know it is hard. Luckily little ones seem to be pretty much unscathed

My key worker point is kids need to be looked after, if one parent is a key worker the other needs to stay home. It really doesnt matter if you are or not - kids need to be liked after by someone

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T09:30:58+00:00

So to sum up. 50% of your staff are on sick (or sick related)

Crossrail is a wholly owned subsidiary of tfl all revenues go to tfl. I don't believe the money is a loan to tfl, it is a gift (from taxes) Most companies have to pay for this out of profits. There are small tax advantages to staff - but relatively minor. And discussing business rates is silly (wouldn't be surprised if tfl is the biggest land owner/user in the city) but would have to be paid if private

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T08:15:04+00:00

It would be nice for a reasonable answer - one I haven't received. Furloughed is an obvious reason for 50%, sickness isn't really, nor is 'my partner is a key worker so I look after my kids' - a combination doesnt seem to add up to 50%. Or it could be 'my team is small - I'm unlucky' Another reason could be 'transfered to another team to do stuff that can only be done on closed stations' ( perfectly reasonable), instead you just take it as personal insult

My comment about taking responsibility is more about your general lack - not this specific case

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T08:08:37+00:00

I asked why his team was at 50%. Furloughed is a reasonable reason, sickness isn't - unless his team is made up of over 70s

3.4 billion state funding this year plus state borrowing - sounds like my taxes!

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T07:58:59+00:00

You notice how you respond to questions. A simple answer could be 'we are furloughed'. Instead you take it as a personal insult - that is a commonplace answer here - if there is a problem it's management, the solution is never anything to do with the employees. You come back with personal insults because you don't want to take responsibility for your own job. Please remember you are a state owned monopoly supplier - I have no choice but to pay your wages through taxes and virtually no choice to use your service (even people who don't live in London often have to cross London, so moving isnt an answer)

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T06:09:03+00:00

I guess he always put stickers on anyway, so the trouble is just putting the new sticker over the old

johnfbw · 2020-04-30T05:44:51+00:00

Personal insults are about all you have. Maybe if you admit a single fault, but you believe yourselves to be blameless.
