    I worked for a company who get a lot of stick here "most of it justified " I've noticed lately that a lot of the office staff are allowed on boards even though using the Internet at work is banned .
    When I asked one of the girls about this she told me that they were
    " encouraged " to counteract any bad publicity .
    Any thoughts ???

    No, for the same reason we can't use tigers as horses.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    If humans were 20 foot tall, could we use hippos as ponies?

    if you want to put a hippos jaw, that can cut a man in half, between your legs go ahead budzer

    Ah yes but if we're 20 foot tall, we can control said hippo!

    Besides, if we were 1/2 foot tall, I think cats would use us as a play toy :eek:

    If its any comfort to you there getting a 20% pay cut next month

    If its any comfort to you there getting a 20% pay cut next month

    See this post? This is the kind of thing that drives me bananas.

    Did you mean, "If it's any comfort there, .< > getting a 20% pay cut next month" (with someone, not mentioned, getting a pay cut)

    or

    "If it's any comfort, they're (nameless) getting a pay curt next month"?


    If you're (not "your) using the written word to communicate, then get it right, eh? Otherwise you end up looking like the subjects of the Facebook-status thread.


    No doubt great ire will be directed because of this!

    Where getting ?

    I hope that's not representative of your company's customer service - something brought to your attention and you almost immediately repeat the error ?

    in all fairness with the amount companies/people/groups that get slammed on here it could be ANYONE.

    This compliant is nonsense, I've been a happy customer with 3 / PC World / Eircom / Vodafone / O2 / CIE and I've NEVER, EVER, had the experience that the poster is complaining about.

    I've never had to use customer support but they have great customer support and really friendly.

    Unlike some others, I have no problem being corrected. :D

    There is a difference, however, between typos and poor syntax/grammar. ;)
