Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

and a thought from down here to all you guys elsewhere ......

We shall be raising our glasses to those less fortunate than ourselves, to those who live a life of bleak solitude, loneliness and desperation, or Northerners as they are known here

Fuck off you Southern Puff :?O)

GF,

I think it daft, but prepared to accept my own and others daftness.

But, still think in M&S organisations the size of operation makes the choice they make sensible and doesn't effect their working.

However, I think the lady concerned should check the rules and regulations and interpretation of the chosen religion and been explicit at the time of employment.

Perhaps, she will review her "stances".

I know some UKIPpers and Cons change allegiances to other parties and "Christians" become atheists, even known the reverse happen.

I find it strange that the lady concerned chose to work for a company that sells alcohol and pork.

Thank you so much for those seasonal greetings, and in return we offer you this:

Karren Brady rebuffs SIX offers of safe Tory seats for 2015 election

Karren Brady, a star of the BBC’s Apprentice series, has been offered six safe seats to fight at the next election for the Conservatives.

Karren Brady, a star of the BBC’s Apprentice series, has been offered six safe seats to fight at the next election for the Conservatives.


However she has rebuffed them all and insisted that she has to concentrate on her business interests.


The number of opportunities is being seen as a sign of the desperation that the Tories have to persuade the high profile businesswoman to become a Tory MP.


Miss Brady is already well-known in the Conservative party, and has taken on the role of the party’s small business ambassador. She introduced George Osborne, the Chancellor at the party’s annual conference


A source close to Miss Brady said: “Karren found all the approaches very flattering, but she is very busy with West Ham and other work and has no plans for a professional career in politics".

ROUCynic



Ms Brady is accustomed to winning - why would she join a party about to be obliterated?

Is that Fred she is telling to fuck off, Stan ?

Anyone like to save 39% off their vehicle fuel bill?

just answer one question to any muslim on this thread

why are the betting shops full of MUSLIMS backing horses and playing the machines
and drinking beer from cans .

simple question or is it just a race card to break the law

Conservative chairman Grant Shapps said Mr Cable was like a "slightly rude" uncle at Christmas who was tolerated.

I thought he was being honest which I don't think Shapps is use to in the circles he moves.

very simple - not all muslims choose to follow the diktats of their religion, any more than jews do or catholics or any other religion
for example, do you show tolerance to others?
no need to answer yourself, as "very clearly not" is self-apparent from your numerous posts here

Just hold on a second cyners what happens then at M@S when a bird on the till happens to be a vegetarian and a customer brings a juicy joint of pork and a 1lb of sausages, does she tell the customer to find a new till point?????????????

Do M@S cater for vegetarians and vegans or is it just on religious grounds the soft touch for fear of racial discrimination????

Indeed, and as far as I know, no one was asking her to touch or drink the plonk.

But why have a punch up when there is a simpler way of dealing with it. Also, the simpler way keeps the majority of people happy and nobody ends up in A&E.

Also, gives an opportunity for the the "lady" to review her "actions".

Reminds me of bloody minded students standing up for their "rights" but not the "rights" of others.

Good to see Manuel has advanced and is now mind reading.

Perhaps,

Selling the alcohol maybe was to be seen by her as helping the purchaser down the pathway to sin, just as somebody selling cocaine to another, but not themselves using it might be seen by other observers.


Umm

Just wait till a Rasta demands a smoking room so that he can load up on mary jane.

Not to put too fine a point on it What A Load Of Bollocks! Terms of Employment surely are quite clear, if employed at any store as a sales assistant or cashier you are being paid to sell that stores merchandise. Personal,Religious reasons for not doing so should be immaterial, employees career choice. This country is fxxxed! Rant over!

Although he is very needed, I didn't know Manuel was a Rasta.

difficult being a bald rastaman :-)

sticky - in answer to your point, quite so, but i think i raised questions similarly in my post, but i can't find it now .... aha; 34476
