    anyone else watching the late late at the moment????

    Have you been listening to bill cullen and the other one?

    Saying that he kept his job yrs ago because he gave 24 extra hrs a week for free!!!! that that sort of attitude is needed to help us out of th recession!!!

    herslef saying that we should be willinging to work extra days and not get paid for them!!!!

    So employers shoudl in their eyes, discriminate against those who cant work over and above what they are contracted for.

    yes we are in a recession.....and yes we should do whatever we can.....within our capability........but proclaiming such nonsense on the late late.......all i can say is i am gobsmacked!!!!

    Bill Cullen is salt-of-the-earth and worked hard to get to where he is today. Of course he can make ludicrous and impossible demands towards his workforce, it's the Soviet way. Or something.





    **** this, I'm gonna go watch Star Trek.

    !

    Bill and a lot of other employers are no doubt creaming themselves about the amount of possible cheap labour they can wring out of their staff under pain of 'the current climate.'

    And his bird looks like a melted candle.

    Excellent, makes note to force my staff to work a few hours free, for me the economy of course.:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 65 ✭✭Escapism


    she also said that that she'd get out and pull the weeds on the side of the road ..... somehow I cant imagine it! :)

    Ha Ha good one... What was she on about....ya we really should all get out of our (Brand new rena**t) cars and do a bit of weeding...I mean it's not that bad really to be on the dole and do a bit of weeding...
    And then watch the Apprentice on our meteor phones while we're at it..it's great...

    My god these 2 gobsheens are all over the place.. could they get some mildly interesting guests on the late late please..ones that dont think their main contribution is to go on about leitharoidi ..

    I knew I should have stayed away from that 1 button on the remote..grrrr

    Hmm...having met Bill three times and Jackie many more I'll say one thing about them both, rather egotistical BUT they DO work hard.
    And I put in twice the hours I get paid for. Excellence demands it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,786 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Never mind Bill, did anyone see Snyper playing the accordion?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp

    They sell cars don't they? I'd rather be shot than "excellent" in that field tbh.

    I've got some shirts that need ironing here when you finished. Can't pay you, but I'm sure you'll do an excellent job.

    Selling cars in Ireland 1995-2007. Tough gig. :)

    Is it just me or was Bill cullen only on the Late Late a year or so ago. Constant repitition of guests is boring.

    And as for working all those extra hours for nothing...fair enough a few here and there but beyond that, no thanks. We'll all be dead long enough...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,803 ✭✭✭✭Mental Mickey


    The state of that yoke with Bill Cullen!! She looks like mutton dressed as, er, mutton..........:D

    never been a member of a trade union......
    i have however found myself in a situation in a job i loved.....whereby i used to go in on my day off...only to be phoned and asked where i was one day.........and for me to get in....it was my rostered day off!!!!

    In the last few yrs I have done quite a bit of contract work...from a few weeks to over a year........ and found that i was being s*****d in holiday pay from the recruitment agency!

    Indeed. Not only must they perform the impossible task of selling cars backwards throughout time, but they have to do it prior to their invention as well. Sucks to be them.

    the state of your wan with him

    a great advert for why you shouldnt use sunbeds


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,810 ✭✭✭✭evolving_doors

    So if I worked 3 times the hours I get paid for would I be twice as excellent as yourself?

    Who cares how long people spend at their job anyhow..sound like inefficiency to me...

    Sorry just ranting, but this guy is famous in Ireland for what ??? selling cars!!! what a talent...I suppose he raises money for charity too...

    What's wrong with using sunbeds? The guido look is hot this season.

    She's a bit of a wrinkly raisin allright. I found her comments about getting the unemployed to pick weeds at the side of the road a bit patronising tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,266 ✭✭✭Juwwi


    His girl in the office starts at 5 am supposedly.

    Bill works 20 hours a day 7 days a week.

    Jackie thinks we should all clean up the weeds to help the economy out.

    What a pair of clowns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,564 ✭✭✭✭road_high


    She wants her head examined so. Life's too bloody short for that imo.

    why shouldnt they do some work instead of sitting on their backsides getting money handed to them

    i thought they actually made some sense about the schools etc

    Haha..can you imagine Jackie pulling weeds on the side of the road...eh...no. Id say the only thing shes pulled is the botox needle from her face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,203 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    What is it with all you guys - anyone that has worked hard all their lives and made money and then give free advice and explain how they did it - you guys just hit at them and make fun of them - and then come onto boards posting threads about rubbish about how i've lost my job - what am i going to do -
