Sorry Fred, been away for a few days. Bad news about the license, but you need to work on the cycling proficiency (I'd let the train take the strain though) Glad to hear you're back home now.

At risk of being unsympathetic, you have something in common with fit women at last !  (sorry)

[Fred Elliot]

Thanks Nev

Feeling a lot better, yesterday with my mates did me the world of good.

I had no idea you'd been ill when I saw you Saturday Fred!

Losing your license must be a pain but hopefully you'll recover fine and get it back no trouble!

[Fred Elliot]

I am now taking a cocktail of 3 drugs, 4 times a day (which is a pain in the arse)

My licence has been sent away.

My Epilepsy I.D. card cam through today.

My car goes on sale tomorrow  

Got to go to a meeting with HR next Tuesday  :?

My life is fucking great !

[Simon Pieman]

You're still alive. Count your blessings you miserable cunt  

Love Si x

Well mate, I still love you for what it's worth.

I meant to ask you on Tuesday night (but you didn't go - headache?) - what's your company's legal HR stance on your condition?

Have they got anything about having a valid driving licence in your contract? If so, how does that work? I'm sure that medical conditions must override any clauses?

[Kinky Tom]

God knows how I missed this but I did.  Sorry to (finally) read about this mate.

All the best and all that.

Yes, the valid driving license clause is there.

But they are also I.I.P AND ISO 9002, so there are internal measures etc.




In all honesty that is all bollocks !!!!

Sometimes I have worked 16 hour days for 12 days solid, slept in my office in Docklands and not seen my family because it needed doing.


Fuck all this HR crap, I want Stephen to say to me

"Andy, you have got me out the shit plenty of times. This time I'm going to make sure you are ok,  dont worry about it, this is what we are going to do................and you will not be hit in the pocket"

I can then start sleeping at night again

Good to meet you at last Saturday

[Kinky Tom]

You too mate, I'll try to get involved with some pre-match build up soon, it's been a while since I had a few shandys before a game.

[redbullzeye]

Just occasionally I end up working with someone who goes the extra mile, turns up for work with enthusiasm for the task and sees the job through with a sense of humour and I think "that person is worth 10 of the other feckless, buck-passing cunts that I usually get on projects"  You have a condition that as JJ has said, is easily controllable  in 90% of cases and if your boss doesn't realise what a contribution you make then it's his loss.  Cos someone else will end up with the benefit of your skills and motivational ability.  Good luck mate and hopefully catch you for a beer at the Gills game

Fred/Andy,

To be honest your employer, (if he isn't a complete cunt) should feel a certain sense of responsibility in this. As I said to you the other week it's that sort of workload and lifestyle that's always brought this shit on for me.

Anyway, unless you're in a post that CANNOT be done without a driving licence, (driving a bus or something) the employers on pretty fucking dodgy ground not keeping you on thanks to the new DDA.

Have a gander at the stuff on this link, there are contacts on the site that might be able to help if the bastards try to shaft you.

I have to say all my employers have always been very good, and I've had a couple of spells of being banned from driving (mind you both those times were when I was working in the NHS, so the attitude might be a bit more liberal)

[Mexicano Rojo]

if i was your boss i would fucking sack you for being an eppy.

or make you take a bath have a fit and throw my washing in.

[Bushey Boy]

Thats fucking ace Mex, Andy will piss himself when he reads that
