It'll happen to Cath Kidston one day Timmy Nasty-Pants will buy it hoping to make a wiz of cash by reviving the brand But her naffness will stick in people's minds and Timmy will asset strip her, leaving and empty spotted rose print Tea-Pot with stale piss inside A "Sussex rose' ironing board cover will blow from a skip into the road, the oncoming driver will swerve and kill the oldest cat in the street "Kidston's Chaos kills cat' will be on every remaining red top Cath will be photographed with Philip Green on his yatch

Here's what I've come up with X worked as a contractor for XXX between date X to date Y He worked as part of the distributions team He had X days holiday and X days sick He was punctual during this period and rarely late He is communicative in writing & verbally when required to be so He is well presented and pleasant in his manner His contract ended in Jan 2016 Thoughts?

People like Green don't do 'shame' in general They develop a wealth mentality that makes them fairly bullet proof BHS was crap tho, I'm suprised it lasted this long

Thanks Al Technically his contract ended on the last day of Dec I'll be mindful as I said previously, and yes mid-twenties is a big growth period And I don't dislike him, he's a really decent nice person. Just his work ethic was questionable, but who's hasn't been.

Thanks Grok, I'll bear all that in mind I'll stick to the bones of it as you outlined and leave it at that Is the Fox looking for a job? I'm in need of some new team members

Or ANPR even

APNR I reckon

Thing is, when he first started he was good and willing to learn. Our business is physical in parts and some roles are harder than others.... Oh what the fekk, why am I sticking up for him? Maybe because at 25 I fekked up a few things, but it did me the world of good in many ways, looking back at it. But then, oh boy I was in cloud cuckoo land. I'll suggest that my reference will not possibly get him the job he's after, but I'm happy to write it should he wish

I think we looked at, liked, hated, became despondent with about 20 places before this house. But this house was on the market, then not. Then sold, not sold. Discounted and eventually by some arse fate ended up on offer to us. It's been a joy, heartache a love affair and a money pit. Don't give up, keep trying and cry sometimes

This year in the New year we let one of our team go. He was a contractor and had been with us for around 18 months. I liked him, but I grew tired of man managing him to see if I could motivate some creative and positive contributions from him. But he was a lost cause, and I discovered he had some form in getting to much the same place in other jobs he 'really wanted to do' And sadly it was effecting other members of the team to the point of detriment to the business. To top it all he took 3 weeks out without first talking through the timings with us. But we coped and as always found a solution that suited us and the team. I also put it down to being a slightly young mid-twenty something, but felt more like a parent in the situation than someone we worked with. It wasn't nice, and we moved on So, off he went and on we went too. However, after six months silence I get an application for a reference from him. Which took me back a bit. But when I read the job I felt slightly sorry for him, not that the job itself is bad, just that he's a smart and talented guy, doing stuff that he's more than capable of, but which I know he'll end up hating. And that annoys me in part, but it also makes me want to contact him and ask what the f-he's thinking. But if he won't or can't face the hard work it takes to succeed then who am I to tell him what he should/could do. So, do I give him the reference he needs/wants, or do I write back and say. "He's a talented young man, who if he pulled his stupid negative finger out of his rear, could go a very long way. But given my experience, he'll drag you down and make every bloody stupid dumb arse excuse NOT TO DO THE JOB IN HAND" Arghhh ...? What to do?

Sue Can you confirm your purchase of NICE CHOCS IN ED And that you're aware where, if ever you needed, that you know Mealnge have moved, that that was then and this is now, you/we know of the places or places to buy chocolate. ALL GOOD FOR CHOCS IN ED NOW THANKS EVERYONE _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Joe You know Fox hasn't a clue about running a business. He used to run a kinda Grot-Shop, but his bagatelle of goods weren't that appealing to the folks of ED I think it was modelled on Reggie Perrin's fantastic idea, except Reggie was fantastic at it (being a made up person on the telly) and Fox was somewhat 'not fantastic' at it, and not on the telly Anyway, I digress. The shop will now be micro pummelled, dissected, and the subject of endless spurious nonsense from here in Ugly Betty can rest easy

Purple is on 50% discount

I liked Prince, or whatever he chose to be called But really, am I upset at his death, NO I didn't know him, but I am moved by the circumstances of a talented man being dead at 57 and of course, much like Jacko. Whereas Bowie feels more premature, such is the nature of that disease But if you've tried to kill yourself previously , then after a bit you might succeed I hate FB for all the reasons laid out by others

I know, it's ridiculous Just buy a new oven with the 'auto clean' function Gaggenau Pyrolictic is about ?5K

It's a sad day when the people's vote is ignored I mean, they asked and they got, didn't they ? I'd be very proud and slightly amused, if every time someone on the news, radio or in print had to mention Boaty McBoatface. I know it's utterly stupid, but no more stupid than many other things we get to endure. And just imagine world leaders and the likes having to try and say its name, Robert Mugabe and Putin come to mind here However, 'they' want to kill Boaty off. And for that I'm unhappy, but not suprised That said, If Jeremy Corbin can be the 'not so funny actually' leader of the Labour Party, then why can't a boat that looks ready to be sailed to sea by Bob The Builder not be called what the people want it to be called Mah, not fair! http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/19/boaty-mcboatface-tyrants-have-crushed-the-peoples-will

In Al's world we'd all be kitted out North Korean style Or wearing white boiler suits as in Wood Allen's Sleeper

Polish Prince gets my vote If Caroline Pidgeon actually wears a 'Pidgeon' costume, I'll vote for her Mind you Sian could out-do her and turn up as a 'berry' of some kind, probably a strawberry, then I'd say say 'The Pidge' is in trouble Bloody hell, now I'm way more interested in the whole thing

I got it now (duh!) it's a damage limitation excercise EVERYONE knows who this is, and if you don't, then you were never interested or cared anyway, so that's you parked up The big fella buys a million quid's worth of time, via an injunction of no use other than to stave of the inevitable 'publicity' Meanwhile, it's common knowledge on 'internet' but not in news print/website of UK media By the time 'it can be published' it's old 'yeah boring' news and barely 'page 4-5' news Fireworks pissed on, and we move on

Ant & Dec are hosting this, right? I can see it now Child on stage, lights down to a single spotlight Low drumroll in the background "And your final word is.......pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis " Child hesitates and as she's about to speak, Ant accidentally presses the RELEASE THE OVERHEAD TANK OF ALPHABET SPAGHETTI button

What's Nick Clegg up to now? A quick re-dunk into the vat of BBC Brown Hair Dye, and maybe he could stand, as I hated him Or how about a pair of Mayor's together in the job Zac and Sadiq I'm grasping at straws here aren't I

Yes but it's "more than something to sweat in, it's a tool for transformation" That's what Tamara's inspirational omni-channel sports retailer of the year, one to watch, award winning website will tell you. Even when you're paddle boarding in Witterings or mid-run on a copa cabana beach, not driving your 1970's VW convertible with your dog Ennis thinking of your global fitness powerhouse or going to the coffee shop on the paddle board Did I mention the paddle board already? Yeah ok, so now you know

Oh dear, it's all a bit messy But fark, it's not 'if' this kinda thing is going to leak out, it's when Do showbiz people live in a bubble, I suppose they do somewhat And yeah, after a very short while on Twitter you'll see their names Still, I'm sure there'll be a Hello magazine type renewing of vows in the not to distant future 😳

This is like that game where you wear a post-it on your forehead. Only this time you CAN'T out yourself Ok, so here goes Do I play a piano and the pink oboe?
