Did some work on a film last summer for my then boyfriend; a completely talentless egomaniac who made my life absolute hell for the whole duration of the production. If he flunked his lines, he'd tear me to pieces in front of the entire crew to try and make me look small, etc, etc. You get the picture. Some of the crew were brown-nosing for future work and gave me a hard time by suggesting I was only cast because I was the director's GF, so it was a real no-win situation, and one I wouldn't want to repeat in a hurry.

Totally unrelated, you have the same name as my wife, which means it wouldn't technically be cheating if we had relations.

I do not play with other people's toys.

Complete and utter knobhead. Surname is too distinctive to post but Baz you don'tknow how close you came to staggering down the mezzanine with a pen sticking out of your fking throat.

You married a woman called Tow? What's it short for?

You probably are - I doubt their surname is Rqrd too. I don't think I can even pronounce that without dribbling.

"fingering Mandy out of the back of the Ritzy on a Friday "

Sorry but no, this is the best line on the Internet at the moment.

I liked one of The Daily Mails pictures they had.



It looks like someone's going to have the most organized and depressing wk of their life.

ANNNYYwwwayy....

Back on topic. I'm guessing that Garlick is sitting there in PH towers watching this thread with interest in case any of you guys try to apply for a job with Haymarket.

In which case all my bosses have been wonderful.....

You've been looking at her pictures again haven't you!

No, it's just a speech impediment.

I once had the fortunate to work for a female version of Ali Dizaei ...

every ready to hint that anyone who criticised her poor management or lack of competency in the practice arena was a racist ...

expounded to be an expert on what it felt like to be a member of her professed faith despite ignoring everything that is seen as the norm for that particular faith

took great pleasure in attempting to get rid of anyone who was actually competent at their job ...

Are you still bitter because I told you the truth about that Pinder tart? Sadly, endless, frenzied fapping to YouTube videos of her isn't a patch on actually meeting and working with her in real life. But, you'll doubtless convince yourself that this isn't the case...

Please tell me he isn't obsessed with Lucy Pinder? Having met her on a TV show that my company made, she is not only thick but thinks she is rather intelligent; awful combination.

Schadenfreude is an unattractive trait, but this is a pleasing confirmation of an opinion formed when I observed this vacuous waste of organs appear on Big Brother.

I fingered myself out the back of Ritzy once. I had to, some bigger guys said they'd hit me if I didn't. Still it's alright, I've got a lovely CL now.

Then you had better reconsider your opinion. I have met her myself and have corresponded with a lot of other people who have also met her, and the opinions you quote are the only two of their kind from the entire sample and are diametrically opposed to everyone else's.

The worst boss I ever had was a complete Essex wideboy, gobste.

He even tried blaming me for when he walked across some wet concrete, so I'd get the bking from the gang instead of him.

He was a midget, and had size 7 shoes. Anyone who knows me would realise how stupid it is to try and palm size 7 footprints off on to me.

I used to work for a greek bloke named Con, he should have been a used car salesman, he could smile and lie to your face while ripping you off. He still owes me 50 bucks. But all good things come to those that wait, he once ran a good third of the doors in melbourne, his empire has crumbled to the point where he has sweet FA.

[Dr.Doofenshmirtz]

I've never liked any of my bosses 1] because I don't like being told what to do, and 2] I hate pretty much everybody.

My first job was for an absolute tyrant. The stories about him were endless.
Firstly his recruitment policy: no foreigners, no ethnic minorities, no women, no people with any regional accent, Dress code was suit and white shirt with tie. No digressions.
My industry has a quiet period in Jan/Feb and in the early days when unemplyment was very high he used to sack people on Christmas Eve and re-employ others in March.
He once visited the manager of one of our offices that was the flagship part of the company that was making huge amounts of money and very succesfull.
He asked the manager what could go wrong, to which her replied "nothing. everyone is extremely good, know what they are doing and the figures reflect it".
"I disagree. THey will get complacent. Go out there and sack someone"
"No, that's ridiculous. Everyone is doing well."
"Sack someone now please"
"Oh, Ok- I'll sack X-he is the newest and his figures are lowest"
"That would be pointless. WHat would that show?- Sack Y"
"But he is the best person. THe best person in the company in fact."
"Exactly. If he goes-then everyone will know that noone is safe. Get him in here now and sack him".

The pleasing finale to this is that as soon as employment opportunities increased, noone good would work there and he has now had 3 companies, each of which went under and his fortune has diminished to nothing. Just a sad old lonely friendless .

. She's a tramp who has a column in Nuts (I think) and does some shoddy TV shows. Why on earth would you want to know anything about her?

Now come on. That's a pretty silly question, isn't it, chap?

I mean, from your description, I'm pretty much in love with her.

What grounds could they possibly have used?

This is not a coffee related question, for the resident punsters.
