I am a professional Social Networker I will have you know

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

I fed a stray cat once, does that count as charity?

I couldnt give it a home though. Well, it was poison i fed it, so no real need for a home then.

Yes, now you can put "VP EMEA of Feles Cuisine" on your LinkedIn page.

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

Ah yes LinkedIn - now there's an interesting site! Half the construction people we know on there have very interesting titles :rofl:

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

surely a construction company is 90% people on the tools and 10% people at head office with shirt and tie?

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

Lots of Directors in a certain company you know and they don't all wear shirts and ties. I love the job titles like Sustainabilty Manager etc that people add on to their jobs when they don't really do any of it!

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

I don't have a lot of time for the Brit expats who have noses higher than their foreheads...especially since many of them are hardly aristocracy back home to begin with anyway.

I'll go out with almost anyone, especially if they drink and can hold a conversation about anything remotely interesting. I even had a drink with a Frenchman once...;)

i take my lads out every now and again,its actually great crack watching these boys guzzle pints like theres no tomorrow.
its like when your 17 and in the boozer just getting aquainted with the finer things in life.
like every 17yr old the non-return valve doesnt seem to work very efficiently so you really have to know when to shut the supply off.
watching there faces in the morning is another great sight as well a kind of cross between bubonic plague and dementia !!

You also see a lot of Quality Assurance Managers these days

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

we took our lads to 'spice island' a few years ago. It was brilliant, one of the guys complained that the whisky included in the standard package was shite and he wanted the premium package..he drunk what must have equated to a bottle of Jonnie Walker and as you say, the next day he was a sight to behold..priceless..

ive seen a few really shit things also. About 4 years ago i took a couple of my team out to carters. One of the guys went out to the toilets (which are outside if you dont know) and whilst he was out, the bouncers started on the door.

They would not let him back in...he was mortified, and luckily i looked up and saw what was happening.

he got back in, but it spoilt his night.

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

we took them down to the york after ramadan, iv never laughed so much in a long long time.
what blows me away is the innocence of the boys,just a totally different take on what you and me would take as real or fake.

:thumbsup:

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

I hate that sort of thing...had that a few times in Dubai when I lived there and mixed groups of us would be out and the bouncers would try to stop anyone whose skin was darker than mediterranian tan and ask for ID, entrance fees or tell them the place was full etc etc...weird considering the bouncers were usually African and Indian. I suppose they are just following orders though, either way it's a shitty experience to witness.

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

You could have had two or more drinks with him if you had paid for the second round !:p:lol:

Re: Up the workers!!!
 

I be happy to but he stopped after the second...stating one shouldn't drink so much :confused:

It must a Gaulic thing...the Germanic and Celtic peoples have fewer reservations about going past the 2nd round :thumbup:
