Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

Sounds as though you are at least spared from the sexpats with the conservative girls? Unlike here.

If I end up in your neck of the woods sometime I'll give you a shout.

Met this absolute nutcase in a London hostelry at the weekend. Was asking lads in our group to take pictures of him as he was throwing a Nazi salute. Obviously aware of his infamy, he told us to look him up: "Nazi Steph".

Intrigued, I Googled him today to find that he is indeed a bona fide grade A racist cunt.

Attended a central distribution depot (transport warehouse) induction today as an observer. Out of 17 people, only 3 were native English speakers. 9 quid an hour and only 3! I know it's not a glamorous job, but fucking hell,  3??

Would you work for £9 an hour?

[LucienSanchez]

I never thought I would, but I'd take it right now

[Reg Smeeton]

Would you work for £9 an hour?

I'd have thought that an attractive rate...certainly plenty of employers in Swindon pay a whole lot less.

[herthab]

Would you work for £9 an hour?

If I was unemployed? Hell yes.

[Honkytonk]

Would you work for £9 an hour?

Fuck yes, I'm on less than minimum wage currently (employer got my DOB wrong).

Jose Mourinho...  Gets appointed. Spends typically around £100mn-£150mn assembling a team, wins a trophy...then fucks off after 2 years.

The guy is a winner but he's a total fucking bell end and has hardly ever developed or nurtured a young player.

Gareth Barry also annoys me on account of being incredibly limited as a footballer for an England regular.

I thought I was posh going up to £6.75 an hour at Asda as I've been there 6 months!!

Thats good Herthab...BUT

Is it permanent...doubt it
Can they sack you when they feel they fancy a change...probably
Can they dictate the hours you work...probably


My niece worked at a Transport warehouse for a month or two...goodish money granted but the hours were shite....they used to ring at short notice changing them....some mornings she turned up...only to be sent home.

In the end her permanent temporary contract lasted two months....before she got a phone call telling her she was surplus to requirements.

Best thing that happened to her,,,she is now got a proper contract on decent money at the Science Research Centre.

So yes £9 an hour is half decent...but that is just part of the package i am betting

£9 per hour, if you translate it to a 37 hour per week, salaried position, is approximately £17,500 per annum.  Not raking it in, but better than unemployment.

The current "living wage", as calculated by the (potentially not completely objective) Living Wage Foundation is £7.45 per hour. 

Mind you - I have a wife and two kids, and we spend our whole lives trying to scrimp, and we just about get by - and I earn a fair more than that.  That's not a brag - I earn about the national average, maybe a little over - I mean to say that I don't know how we would manage if I were earning the "living wage" - or, for that matter, £9 per hour.  But I suppose we would - we used to bring a lot more money in between us before we started reproducing, and you adapt to what you have.  That only works up to a point though.

My word - what a load of rambling.  I think I disagreed with myself three times.  Ho hum.

I think you do just adapt to whatever you're earning.  I earn double what I was earning 5 years ago and yet I am by no means rolling in it (far from it!).  Makes me wonder how I used to survive!

How a man survives without caviar and tailored silk shirts is beyond me.
