If you wanted to remain in the EU and think Johnson see's the UK through rose tinted imperial sunglasses. Can you still be pleased if something goes well for the UK (the same applies vice versa)?0

I only see one piece of desperation here and that's coming from you. Posting the straw pic was quite telling.rick_chasey said:I just find it funny you’re highlighting a fairly meaningless symbol and ignoring the actual words coming out from Biden and people in his administration.
Maybe you only read the telegraph so you haven’t seen the words, I don’t know, but the focus on the sequencing of the phone calls looks really desperate.
Now, how about answering my questions above?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
He probably called Johnson first because he knew it's the kind of thing Johnson would be concerned about.0

Nope. Now about those questions...briantrumpet said:Stevo_666 said:

So nothing to do with the US-UK relationship?kingstongraham said:He probably called Johnson first because he knew it's the kind of thing Johnson would be concerned about.
As with the Trump thread, it appears that some people are getting confused between nations and their leaders..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

To be clear you're at the 'denying pictures of the thing' stage of delusion now...
No, no, "He called me first!" changes everything.
Or maybe Biden knows how to deal with narcissists.
Whatever the reason, obviously it's of great importance to Stevo, given his reaction to a photo of straws, and the inevitable "Answer my questions!" response.0 -

Yes, but ours is a special relationship. I think it's written into some treaty or other...0 -
its amazing how much reaction a simple post about a phone call and the good relationship between 2 countries can elicit.
Now that the Trump thread is fading away, this more evidence for my 'first law of Cake Stop thermodynamics' theory (whinging and negativity are never destroyed, they are simply transferred to other threads)

You seemed to feel the need to react to my post about US UK relations with an attempt at a dig. Tells me what I need to know, bitter boypangolin said: "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
There's a much more interesting 'special relationship' going on the now, WvA vs MvdP. 😉1

Hopefully positive. However, when you have a round of calls and have to deliver bad (or at least not great) news you might get those calls over first. Who knows?Stevo_666 said:
Agree, it is a positive thing. Some people just cannot handle positive things it would appear.focuszing723 said:
Yeah, I would say that's a positive thing and I don't understand why people are using Google to hunt for the negative.Stevo_666 said:The special relationship lives on:

Jeez, a flurry of posts, I thought something interesting had happened!
Some people are hunting for the positive, others for negative. It’s not exactly worthy of speculation without any details - are there any? It doesn’t exactly seem to be a major story. I have my fingers crossed that Biden wasn’t just trying to offload a bust of Churchill.
Any conversation not involving the orange buffoon must be mainly positive I’d have thought!

Maybe Boris was first call because he needed to be told off first.
Something like, you sucked up to Trump, you fecked up with the whole Brexit shambles and if you fuck up Good Friday , well, there'll be hell to pay.0 -
About what? please tell me, what have i got confused? please share with me the benefit of your vast knowledge about employment law and recruitment in practice, either internally as a recruiter in any size of corporate, in any sector or government body. perhaps as an external supplier?pangolin said:
You seem a bit confuseddavid37 said:
HAHHAH you could A ask why they think there arent more women in that level / type of role, suggest a review and a rethink on selection / hiring process / corporate culture to address diverstiy issuesTheBigBean said:
Out of interest, what do you do when someone comes to you and says they need to hire a woman? I have come across that a bit lately.rick_chasey said:surrey_commuter said:
I know somebody who went back to work when the twins were born but had to retire as could not cope with the post GFC compliance regs so retired againStevo_666 said:
I know a few people who have retired, realised they just end up working unpaid for their OH and have gone back to work for a bit of peace with the added bonus that you get paid for it. Each to their own I suppose.First.Aspect said:
My dad retired when he was 72.pblakeney said:
My Dad finally retired when he hit 80.rick_chasey said:Fair play if you know anyone over 70 working in a full time job.
He said he'd get bored, and he was correct, he is bored.
I hate to break the news, but working past 70 will be the norm when most of us get there.
strong.
I'm hoping the massive focus on diversity in recruitment will do the same to my boss.
B as above
C hire a woman
D repeat with "diversity". one groups selection for diversity reasons is another groups discrimination.
My recommendation is go with C and for diversity go with hiring diversity candidates. unless youre very senior and can talk with authority on the legal AND the reputation costs AND the effect on motivation and culture.
But Im guessing youre not the CEO or Business owner. so just hire what youve been told to hire.
Discrimination is evil in all its forms.0 -
Probably. Because its best to start off on the right foot after all.kingstongraham said:He probably called Johnson first because he knew it's the kind of thing Johnson would be concerned about.
