…Did you shake him by the hand, wish him luck, and send him on his way with heartfelt words of kindness? :diablo:

….I love Karma!

You and Earl Hickey ! – It is justice, he is one of those really political animals, out for himself at any cost, and there is often a cost. 2 years ago, 4 of his 6 direct reports were all signed off with stress, 1 never came back, 1 was off 6 months, the other 2 back in a couple of weeks. HR called in all sorts of consultants but nobody actually nailed him. Now, we get a fresh broom and my word it has swept clean ! Mind you, if I’m outsourced it will be the same, but 12 months pay off, mortgage is insured for a year…. I have a safety net !

some (IMHPO) poetic justice

from the big re-org, a bloke who has often lied, offered my job to two people while I was off sick and generally brings on my tourettes in spades has been chopped. You don’t wish anybody out on the street these days, but IMHPO in this case, what goes around…….comes around.

Having had one a year ago the anticipation, because of everything you read and hear, was many times worse than the actual experience, which was not so terrible but neither enjoyable. Just something which has to be done for health reasons, but which should not be feared.

I can second that, I dozed off in mine, it is noisy but its something you can tune out (well, I could). Very useful tool, not at all invasive like a lot of medical tests can be :eek:.

Ah well, that’s all ok then isn’t it?

Mr Adams is very definitely respectable as you say.

the current Mrs BSG-75 deciding that she wants to change the residency we agreed for the children, having explained it to them, having had them start to accept it (pending the time she actually does sling her hook and I change the locks) having had the boss agree to change my working hours (no easy feat given the atmosphere at the office !) its all change…….

yep, its 01:13 hrs and I’ve yet to cool enough to go to sleep…….

The British Army intimidated many Irish people throughout the conflict and seemingly, according to eyewitnesses, took great pleasure in doing so!

That would appear to be a sweeping view of a hugely complex issue, with feelings running and bred into generation after generation. The Army should. in an ideal world never be called into a police situation. To quote a line from a TV series a while ago:

“There’s a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.”

For every claim of a soldier taking pleasure in intimidation, there is a republican act of violence and cruelty. The truth will never come out, there are probably two many truths to count.
