Has posting on this forum hindered your employment prospects?


Recommended Posts

Remember that there's no shame in posting a few thousand times on internet forums - only in deleting your posts afterwards, like a fool.


Moreover, if you're going to look at the porn, you might as well be having a w@nk as well. You're only fooling yourself otherwise. Think about it Alan. You're only fooling yourself.

No. In fact if I didn't periodically dip in and out of the threads on here over lunch I might end up caving one of my colleague's heads in with my magic mouse. So, posting (or at least reading) on this forum seems to have actually helped my employment prospects...and technically those of a number of my colleagues' as well :D

Oh possibly.


But there is significant mileage in Alan's inability to deal with his own past postings.


A head doctor would have a field day.


I read once that sociopaths show a consistent problem with looking in the loo after they've had a number 2. Apparently they can't accept 'this is wot I haz dun'.


There's nothing particularly pooey about Alan Dale's past postings, he just consistently made pronouncements that were consequently proved to be foolish.


Most of us have a chuckle and scratch our armpits, seeing both the humour in our ambition and rueing our misled convictions.


Not Alan Dale.


Alan Dale pretends it never fecking happened. IT NEVER FECKING HAPPENED RIGHT. FECKING PROVE IT. YOU CAN'T FECKING FIND IT. FECKING PROVE IT. I NEVER FECKING SAID THAT. IF YOU CAN'T FECKING FIND IT I NEVER FECKING SAID IT RIGHT. I'M FECKING RIGHT I SAID.


If Alan Dale wasn't such a tragedy I might even have a chuckle. ;-)

Ha ha Axeman. :))


There's a great scene in 'American Psycho' where Patrick Bateman flexes his bicep in the mirror whilst having sex, before pointing at himself in faux adulation.


It illustrates in one timeless moment the shallow pointless delusion of his life. He hides himself behind vacuous cartoon representations of masculinity. He has to admire himself, because he is so worthless and self-centred that he attracts no admiration from others.


He elevates himself above other people with a boastful petulance that precisely exposes his essential failure, he cannot accept that he is the architect of his own misery.


He attracts both disgust and pity in equal measure.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
