THIS!!! People are sat in this office 10 hours plus a day doing seemingly fuck all. I work my hours and I'm consistently doing 40 - 50% of the tickets out of a team of 8 but I know perfectly well if I started leaving on time every day I'd get shit for it and be seen as the lazy one.

If you choose to make work your entire life that's your own choice. I've been there and from my experience it doesn't lead to pay rises or promotions. You're just working yourself into the ground for someone else's benefit. The problem becomes when its becomes an expected thing and people are...

I got way more done, in much less time, working from home than I do being back in the office. And I suspect that is why a lot of managers / company owners don't like it. They're more concerned with getting more hours out of you and unpaid overtime than they are on the work actually being done or...

24 Hours In Police Custody this week focused on immigration. Watching that there's one very obvious thing that needs to happen, a clamp down on social media. They visited Albania and kids there are being targeted on social media with post after post telling them about a wonderful life in the UK...

I actually found WFH had the opposite impact for me. Don't think I'm alone in that as one of the positives people put forward for WFH is work life balance which is just a corporate speak way of saying you have time to do other stuff. WFH I finished on time more often that not and as I was...

purely going off what's on the video he's broken his shoulder or something similar hasn't he? Similar to tats injury, land at a strange angle and you can be in all sorts of trouble. edit: the original video, not the one just posted showing him being shoved between two players which is now...

You don't pay for prescriptions if you're unemployed so guess there's a fair case for anyone not at retirement age and in work to pay. Probably not the best time to have that discussion after the mess the winter fuel allowance has been.

What happened to one ready to go as soon as the window opened? Was that actually an ITK or not, can't remember now.

I'll be honest. It never even crossed my mind that you'd get free prescriptions before pension age. Is there any reason the two aren't the same?

that's an attitude that's existed here since I was a kid in the 80s and I find it pretty frustrating. Obviously being next to a city as big as Brum is going to impact things but it just seems to be a get out for having any ambition. how often do you see major touring bands playing places like...

There's definitely a lot of city centres that are shit but for a city the size of Coventry we are especially poor. Birmingham is obviously a much bigger place but as Nick says if you go there they have adapted and there's something for everyone. In terms of similar sized cities I go to both...

You don't pay any attention to Canadian politics do you?

Was surprised how quickly they shifted their tickets tbh. Shit time of year when everyone is broke, shit kick off time and now looks like shit weather against a team we play all the time while we're playing not exactly exciting football. Thats before you even consider the prospect of weakened...

Think there's just been, or just about to be, a documentary on about that case which is probably prompting those sort of articles

Pretty different to normal tonight, looks like it's going to be an interesting one.

Don't think so, got moved for international TV.

Foregone conclusion that one surely. If they're best mates as many on here will have you believe and Austin only has a job because of Robins then he will follow him Stoke as part of his team. Might take a couple of coaches as well, which is hardly unusual, which will enable us to freshen things...

It been mooted a few times I think. Blair had some plan for rolling out medical centres which would have basically everything under A&E level under one roof but nothing ever really happened, well other than letting GPs massively cut their hours and get paid the same. But its all down to the...
