www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/news/freecontent/articles/2012/04/13/427188-high-tech-jobs-hopes/What utter pish. This company are more likely to cut staff than increase their workforce. And just what were these suits doing in Parliament snivelling with the Undertaker?  I smell a faint niff of shite here. What have you promised them McKenzie or more to the point, what have they promised YOU! "Hello, you're through to Ian, how can I help you?" Come the day...come the f****** day Undertaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jost because you work in T-Mobile disnae make the jobs "high-tech".
Answering the phone and fixing someones bill is not "high tech~"

We were guided by the boys because we knew and know bugger all about technology. They made me get a smartphone and even now most of it is a mystery to me. Mind you, it lets me surf the net in bed much to dear Mrs Tiddles disgust!

on those phones there is so much you can do on them, the only thing that is wrong is that it cant put the kettle on for you when you want a drink

I am still wondering what they were doing pee-heeing with Undertaker in Westminster. Sounds bloody odd to me.

Greetings and Salutations to you all !
There are many ways to save money in this age of having to tighten ones belt.
1) Turn off the fountains (unless of course ones having visitors)
2) Turn off the heating in the West Wing (as I only use it during winter months)
3) Allow the staff to have an extra 1/2 hour break every day (unpaid of course - I may be kind - but I'm not THAT kind...Good Lord No !)
4) Have the 5 piano's tuned once a month instead of weekly (half of my afternoon tea friends won't be able to tell the difference and the other half will be too polite to point it out....it'd be dreadfully ill mannered don't you know )
5) Can't I stop at 4 ?? Were those not austere enough ??
Anyway, I must dash. I have a four o clock carriage to Euston to catch. Meeting an old friend for dinner this evening. Bertie Tiddlesforth (any relation I wonder ??). Lovely chap - if not a little hairy for an Etonian. Raised a few eyebrows on the first few visits to the club I can tell you ! Some even thought they were allowing common tradesmen in as members - could you believe it ?? Once the experiment at Porton Down in 1953 was explained it was all acceptable. He was jolly lucky too in 53 - he had his name down for an experiment but missed out to some chap called Ronald Maddison.....most unfortunate....
I shall communicate with you all on my return.
Toodle Pip !!
Aye that Sarin stuff isnae furra faint-hearted

If he is one of the Berkshire Tiddlesforths then yes, we are distant cousins. His mother was a horse for a while and his father did a passable loofah impression.

Yes and when they open one we're meant to be grateful for it. They straight out of a scene from Metropolis or Chaplin's Modern Times. Hateful bloody places, the poor souls who work in them are no more than bees in a huge hive.
