The Grapevine (OFF TOPIC CHAT)

wat, I take them just as seriously as the Misfits :pac:

ohhhhh, that's cooooooool........../nervous laugh

oh I got very obsessed with writing html before, had a site but I took it down........it was fairly crap, did everything in a very roundabout way.....why googlebots no like html?

winner ^

haha looking very angsty there, I'd say there was some heartache themes to that album. Where is that pic taken, is it just trinners?

Why are you backing away? HEY COME BACK! :pac:
spam bots posting on it or wha? Or the search bots?

Try fbml! made a facebook with that this year, was fun

No the googlebots will visit, but they won't list html sites in google search, gotta be php or some fancy ****te I think. Anyway was one of those fleeting interests I develop when I should be doing other things.

Really? What store? My mam is with Marks and Spencers thirty years and still loves it!! I'm so happy I got the job back! Mam has worked in Mary Street, Grafton Street and Liffey Valley for 12 years now, but has worked in stores all over Ireland and London, as she was some of the first to start in ireland when they opened here. Never had problems!
I had one issue...but management were amazing and it wasn't anything else than a minor glitch!

Hi ye I'm still on........

She was in Grafton St. for the christmas, I'm trying to remember now if it was christmas gone by or before and panicking coz I can't remember....ahhhh

But if you know the Grafton St one, the doors there are just left open all the time, bloody freezin for the staff, no heating, and then after weeks working there they supplied the staff with thermal vests :pac:, she worked on the ground floor per una I think and got really sick from being in the cold, wasn't just her either.
She used to get in trouble for every little thing, the staff were real bullies, there were a number of instances where somebody kept reporting her, setting her up to be fired. Then stuff like changing her work schedule on the morning that she was supposed to be in work and then giving out to her for not knowing. I'm sure she'd give you an ear full, I heard enough about it at the time :pac:, she was in tears many evenings after it, that was without the annoying customers too.

I have always heard people say they're a good company to work for, I'd say that's true for the long-timers maybe. I've never worked there myself. Their interviews are mad!

Tar that vid , I thought maybe that was you at first :pac:

That's quite sad to be honest! I've never heard of anyone having a bad time there. It makes me angry to hear that. :mad: I love the company!!

I'm a part-timer at the moment, hopefully I'm going to be a long timer!! The interview system is insane!! I had to do the phone part on the bus...I got a lot of funny looks saying "a" "c" for half an hour!!!

Tell your sister to call the confidential report line, I'll get the number if you want, and report what happened to her. I know she might not work there now, but by reporting what happens she might be able to either help someone else who is working there and maybe make it better for them. I realise this sounds corny and soppy, but I mean it.

I've always found the management more than helpful with any problem. I know part of this may be because my mam works there and is practically part of the furniture. But! I was working there one day and one manager asked me to do something etc, had a problem, she didn't realise who I was, and sorted it out in less than ten minutes!

Though it can get very hot in Per Una sometimes!!!!

that's just ruined the movies for me

*puke* sorry was all the corn........kidding

I couldn't tell you if she reported it at the time or not, I tend to zone out when she's talking :pac:

Cheers though.

I'd say some of the customers are awful. Someone tried to return a pair of trousers bought 10 years ago when she was there :eek:
