had the misfortune to see this last night.

there are people who are on that show who are quite obviously mentally ill.

why on earth would you not put chips into the pot if you are calling ?

too lazy ?

Doubt you'll get action on 3 days, you need that 4th day imo.

Though yeah, you might die.

Can you die from it? I mean, would your body automatically die rather than fall to sleep ?

dont care, die or sleep, he loses the bet, so it would be paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee time.

KLM used to give away the BOSE cans in their business class  amenties kit. now you get a little delftware house.

cutbacks indeed

for netbooks, the Lenovo ('ideapad') is the business.

Whatever you go for, get one with the Intel Atom Dual Core processor.

the HP pavillions (DV6 and Dv7) are cracking machines. very well put together.

They are seriously heavy though, esp in 17inch format

My take on things follows...

Board members of bigger, brasher companies commit far more severe crimes/mistakes than those of Kev.  The result?   Summary dealing in person and the ‘offer’ of a resignation.  The individual is punished but leaves with his dignity intact.  At the same time the company avoids airing its dirty laundry in public; its reputation and brand suffer less/no damage.  If brought to book at a later date, they can more easily justify their actions to shareholders.  Naturally any party wronged, receives compensation or (more suitably in this case) a letter of apology.

That's easy for these big companies but when the person in question is on the front line dealing with customers i don't see how this is possible

He wasn’t paid by Blonde poker – so has our negligence caused or contributed to this?

In this case i am owed quite a lot of money having had to pay his and Tighty's wage myself


Her integrity is instantly called into question; if this is the case, how can she be expected to adequately judge on the disputes/contents of other individuals posts? Naturally this damages forum member’s confidence in the company/forum. Something must be done!

How does her integrity have anything to do with how well she can mod a forum? She has done nothing wrong. If we held this yardstick to measure all our mods we would have 0 mods. As far as i am concerned as the majority shareholder her integrity is looking pretty healthy.

BAIN THE MESSENGER
I am really not too well versed on this, but it appears to me very simply as a poor judgement call in appointing him as a messenger representing the website/company.  

Again you are just talking about things you know nothing of, he was not appointed as a messenger but don't let the facts get in the way of a good post.

Just a few thoughts, but a general rule to live by when deciding this (and future disputes/issues) could be:
‘Did the actions of the individual effect the operational effectiveness, public image or profits of the company?’
If on weighing up the probabilities it is 51% more - then impose a sanction!

Myself and Tikay are quite happy running the company but if for some reason we deem Tightend not to be the best person to seek council on matters of business (clearly this is very very likely given his years of experience dealing with far more complex things than our little company) i am sure we will come running to a member of the Armed Services because they are all so well known for having excellent business nous

Clearly if Blonde is to run as a business, things need to be looked at and frameworks put in place for dealing with future problems. If it is all too much hassle to run it like that then, is it all worth it?

Again I thank you for your concern over whether I am wasting my time, I hadn't put any thought into it but yeah now you mention it I'm not sure if I can be bothered any more, forum closed you can all thank jjdanellis

All I will say, is that it’s such a shame. Blonde used to be a really fun place to post and read many varied views without too much worry for being flamed (or if you did get flamed there was usually a tongue planted firmly in cheek). Something clearly needs to be done to uphold, clean up the forums identity – another Blonde Bash perhaps ;-)

It still is a fun place but occasionally we get the odd troll pop up and dig up threads a few days after they die to just re-start the arguments that are stopping us from enjoying the fun threads we are all used to.

Maybe I got the entire tone of your post wrong, in which case i will apologise in advance.


Now I'm going out for a bit to enjoy my life in the real world and not worry about whether an ex-girlfriend looked at an ex-boyfriends computer and how it effects her whole moral compass and social decency to such an extent that she can't be trusted to know the difference between flaming and banter or heaven forebid have to be able to distinguish spam from regular posts. I just hope I can stop all these dreadful thoughts from racing around in my head whilst i am trying to enjoy myself.

i never knew you and Kev were so close....nice one

Wheeeeeeeeeee...............

can we lend the negotiators on both sides of this, to BA ?

this one might actually be my favourite

I'm thinking if there Transdimensional beings, maybe their only way of escape (especially from the Law to evade being held prisoner) is through death, hence why they were so desperate to jump into traffic.
For some reason they both simply "bounced off" the cars and lorries though, perhaps different components/atomic scales in our Dimension than theirs? so it ruined their plans.

Blimey, the looney fringe/conspiracy theorists have got themselves in a right old lather over this!!!!! Look, 71 pages and counting:

DISCLAIMER: I do not go on this website, I just googled it lol

love this one

having considered all possible explainations for the 'non destructible' twin the only thing that appears rational is 'the one in the red coat' is actually from the future..........

and travelled back in time to lead her past self out of danger

Hence she was indestructible..........you cant die in this 'time' if you exist in the future

and the other twin wasn't on the documentary ...........why ?? coz she doesnt exist

i wonder if they keep the blood they take for the drug tests, like they do with the cyclists ? I wouldnt be surprised for them to discover a new synthetic drug, virtually undetectable using current method, and find out she was pumped full of this stuff..

dont post many horse tips, but got a tip for Exit Smiling in the 5.15 at ripon.

However, in many instances where an accident occurs, had a driver who was shown to be speeding *not* been speeding, the accident would not have occurred or there would not have been a fatality when there was one.

do you have any verifyable facts to back that up, or is it just your opinon,ie a lot of bollocks ?

Loathed as I am to waste my time replying to someone who chooses to address people in that kind of way, I would say it's pretty much common sense. What's your counterargument (presuming you have one, and that your level of debating skills extends beyond personal insult)?
Someone is driving along at 30mph, another driver emerges 200ft in front of them, from a junction, into their path. They stop in time and avoid a collision.
Someone is driving along at 70mph in the same setup, GOING FASTER YOU HAVE LESS TIME TO REACT AND TO BRING YOUR CAR TO A HALT so you are likely to hit them.
In another instance you do hit them at 30mph. Compare this to hitting them at 70mph. WHICH ONE DO YOU THINK MIGHT MORE LIKELY KILL YOU? The 70mph one or the 30mph one? Do you want me to go get you some nice internet links to back up my bollocks? Or can you think this one out for yourself?

a simple 'no' would have sufficed.
