    Small request to people with 4 wheel drive vehicles: Turn on the 4 wheel drive before setting out, unlike some idiots in their jeeps with the two front wheels spinning and going nowhere . . . :rolleyes:

    My dad picked up our car from Mum's work in Inchicore at about 3pm. As of twenty minutes ago, he was at the Ha'penny bridge! Mum's Luas was quicker, she's meeting him in town so at least they can sit in the car together. Told her to avoid Connolly!

    I know of someone this morning whos boss demanded she get to work - Wrote the car off half way !!! Silly silly boss threatened her by text - whoopsy do !

    People like this, evil bosses need to have their arse takien to court for bullying employees into endangering themselves. Make sure she shows that text to a solicitor. Keep note of all todays weather warnings, and the weeks, as record.

    17:50pm Avia - Stadium of Light! The blurs on the footpath are people but the camera couldn't capture them. This lane is where the fox went up last night, I saw him later last night at our front gate looking very hungry.

    I was abandoned outside work last January for a couple of hours(I'm a wheelchair user), while everyone else went home. Spent a couple of hours wandering around with a colleague who was waiting for someone to collect him. Resulted in me being out of work for 2 weeks sick!!!! :mad: Am staying off work for the rest of the week cos I don't want to put myself through that s**t again.

    Silly question but I'm not a photographer.
    How come the people didn't show up in the photo?

    Also, hope you're leaving some food out for the poor fox.

    If you get up and walk out there is such a thing as constructive dismissal which you can take him to court for. At this point Id say f*** and leave, make note of everything before you leave your desk. Are there others there with you?

    chat to the legal guys.
