Guest The Phoenix Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 how long do you keep your councal tax payment sheets for? Dundee? I'd recommend framing them and hanging them on the wall as collector's items. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 What happened on here last night/this morning that made Div post a thread about "Unacceptable Behaviour"? I'm intrigued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Indeed, that's a pretty straight forward no nonsense post from Div, are you equally pissed off you missed it all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The cube's posts in "who do you want to win" thread were cringeworthy, not funny and everyone ignoring him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Can anyone recommend a cream/treatment for getting rid of a stye or would my brother have to see a doctor to get a prescription? Stye treatment. Basically, give it a couple of days, see if the compress helps, if not, see the doctor for antibiotics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pencils Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I got offered a new job earlier today and they want me to start tomorrow, however I'm meant to give my current employers 2 weeks notice and meant to be working there tonight and tomorrow. I intend on starting my new job tomorrow regardless of what my current employers say, but is there anything they can do like hold my wages or that? Its meant to be a full-time job but im only getting 20 hours a week, and the new jobs 60 hours a week at £8 pound an hour.. so can't really afford to turn it down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the terms and conditions of your contract. Play it safe and don't burn bridges with current employers. You never know when you may need them. Congrats on getting a new job though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reading Saintee Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 anyone know where in Inverness/Nairn I will be able to get a traditional hot shave, starting a new job next week and am letting the facial vagina grow a little so I can get one done.

Lisa Cuddy Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 You might be able to negotiate something with your current job. I left a job working in Personnel with only 3 weeks notice instead of the month they wanted. They can't actually force you to come to work and you need to be paid for any hours you've worked, so just go in and have a chat with them. You might find that they're alright about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencils Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Cheers folks, I'll go in later and explain the situation to them and see what they have to say. Hopefully they'll be understanding! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrgirl Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Cheers folks, I'll go in later and explain the situation to them and see what they have to say. Hopefully they'll be understanding! Have you got any annual leave accrued that you could use up before you leave. That would ensure you get paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencils Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Just phoned them and explained the situation and they were pretty good with me and understanding. Cheers for the help, greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The poster "blue478" has posted that Andy Murray is 6/4 at Unibet to win the US Open. Why wouldn't a bookie simplify these odds down to 3/2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The poster "blue478" has posted that Andy Murray is 6/4 at Unibet to win the US Open. Why wouldn't a bookie simplify these odds down to 3/2? Bookies do that with many odds. Another example would be 100/30. It's just the way it has always been. Who's all watching/watched 'The Loved Ones'? Wow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 The poster "blue478" has posted that Andy Murray is 6/4 at Unibet to win the US Open. Why wouldn't a bookie simplify these odds down to 3/2? As Cowden has indicated below, many bookies do it, although I'm unsure of the exact reason. I seem to remember hearing that it was a tactic to subconsciously con punters into thinking they were getting better odds. I.e to someone who doesn't know much about betting or odds, 6/4 might seem bigger than 3/2 because the numbers are higher. This could of course be utter nonsense and codswallop. I'm sure someone else will be able to shed more light on the matter though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, fractions are for old people, decimals are where it's at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
