The ceremonial handing of the polo shirt back earlier this morning was a beautiful event. After a handshake as limp as a used condom, Rob handed back his box fresh polo shirt and thanked his master. Chris accepted the polo before saying “farewell and cowabunga dude”.

Hurling appears to be a mix of UFC, rugby, hockey, football, baseball, the egg and spoon race all whilst hitting a snooker ball as hard as you can as high into the sky as possible towards goal with what looks like the bones of a tomahawk steak. 10/10. Would recommend

Hi Chris, Matthew and Rob, I hope this finds you and your family well. Well, we’ve had bad times and some truly horrific times.

O’Shea is saying he needs 1M hours from engineers. Let’s say (at a guess) 500 engineers have left since he started all his shite (500 x 40hrs x 52weeks = 1M hours). He could’ve gained his 1M hours by retaining staff. Unstoppable moron.

New polling shows 74% of British Gas customers support the strike against fire and rehire.
It's a profitable company - they don't need to do this.

Bullshit. Absolute fucking bullshit. The company deserve NOTHING from engineers after what they’ve put us through. Fire and Rehire needs to go. That’s the line in the sand. Negotiations should be going on DURING the strike. The company lift the suspension&everyone’s fired again.
