lets all pull together to get there
Ah shite... can we do it over the summer instead. I'm busy until then...
 
T.C.Harrison in the '70s had a collection of clockwork twats who all ran around clutching clipboards, checking their watches, ignoring customers etc.etc.

Trust me, it worked, all day, every day...

When I left school, a couple of lads from our year got jobs at British Steel (now Forgemasters) and they told me similar stories, late 70's, some of the maintenance blokes would walk across the yard, tool box in hand, making sure people saw them looking busy, as they went to a legitimate job (say a light not working in an office), they would take a quick look, "oooo not sure we have a fluorescent strip in stock, I will go and check, and if not, I will order one", then walk back across the main yard, to the toilets, sit on the loo for an hour, do a crossword, then walk back in another direction, always looking busy, into the canteen, get a cuppa, have a fag, then walk back to the spares place "have we got a strip in stock?", "yes mate", "ok, keep it to one side, I need it later today", then walk back across the yard to the office "I've ordered a strip light luv, will pick it up later and be back".

Then go for lunch.

Then an afternoon of walking between "safe places", where you could walk past the gaffers, tool box in hand, then stop for a cuppa, a chat and a smoke, and then go and pick up the part, go and fit it, and then time to clock off and go home.

So the 20 minute repair job lasted all day.

Don't get me wrong, some grafters there, as in all walks of life, but my mates said some of these blokes did it all day, every day.
 
However long it took to put that OP together is a frightening amount of time out of someones life they can never get back.
its off the os copied and pasted , with a bit of deleting , hence the 2 big avatars dont know why they are so big could only have 19 pictures had to delete last 2 s badges

took about 10 minutes

Ron Delta used to tell s joke about his first day of work at the pit. When he was waiting to go down the lift came up and four miners were carrying a bloke out on a stretcher. Has there been an accident he asked, no someone said, they're taking a fitter to a job.
 
So its down to logo comparison.

Bolton looks like it was done on Microsoft paint.

Charlton is a shit version of ours.

Oldham is a better version of Wendys.

Millwalls is a shit version of Chelseas.

As for FTFC. Should have just put a big W.
 
The way home???

Why does it show only the first half off the journey?
 
6 important games in there, that if we win, we will win the league, I believe . Unless we lose all the others.

These are for me : Bolton, Bradford, Scunthorpe, Charlton, Scunthorpe and Peterborough.

The threats in my eyes, some of these teams this season have already haunted us, but I think we can get the results we need if we play well.
 
I feel Rochdale carry more of a threat than some mentioned. not enough to stop us , but could take one of those top places

Trust me, it worked, all day, every day...

A very well known Sheffield technology company (who I won't be naming) had a porn "server" (a desktop PC crammed full of hard drives). Half the employee's would spend the entire working day downloading porn from Usenet Newsgroups and upload it all to the server (this was back in the days of dial up modems, when doing it from home would take a gazillion years).
 
Earliest we could be up by is March 14th but that would require us winning every single one of our fixtures until then.

If we keep up our current form I can easily see us up by April.

And I bet that when a promotion came up it was these idle cunts that got the job rather than somebody who actually worked hard

Working hard means you're invisible and the middle management who are thick as pigshit wouldn't notice you.

Thick middle management don't notice you and you're a cunt as far as they're concerned and you're name will be mud upstairs after thick middle management reports to their superiors

It's the reason I am self employed and haven't had to impress or answer to anybody except myself for 25 years

That's the reason the steel industry went tits up in Sheffield.
 



That's the reason the steel industry went tits up in Sheffield.
And the power stations were no better ( the old CEGB), subcontractor on these for over thirty years.
Before nat power/ powergen and the rest, CEGB fitter, fitters mate and an apprentice just to take a 6 bolts off a flange. Nowadays 1 man,( not necessarily a fitter, it's all multitask, ) 2 flanges a valve a bit of welding, all to be done yesterday. Back then they didn't care, it was public money.
