That’s a false widow. They are the UK’s most venomous spider but don’t let that frighten you, they hardly ever bite and their bite is no more significant than a wasp sting. Full size they do look a bit menacing and whilst they stick to their webs they can move if they want to which is a bit scary.

Everything he had written on religion and philosophy was toilet paper at best anyway - him and Hitchens were the best at sophistry and missing the point in their arguments their are much better (still wrong) atheist debaters out there, just less popular because they actually try and deal with the argument.

That figure is way off as well. 40% is people who would christen their baby, celebrate easter and christmas but then live life normally the rest of the time. I reckon it’s closer to 5-10% of the UK are practising, church going believers and that’s probably an overestimation. I agree Christianity is ridiculed way more than other religions but the bible tells us that thats how it will be so that doesn’t bother me. I do get annoyed by the intellectually lazy scoffers though, not because I can’t take a joke but because it annoys me how foolish the people are who bolster their unbelief with that kind of thing.

Are these all entries to the didn’t happen of the year awards?

I manage hours and holiday liability for a large leisure and tourism company that mostly hires 18-21 year olds on a seasonal basis. All of the things you have posted are legal and pretty common in my sector, particularly forcing holiday. The rule for forcing holiday is that the employer must give twice as many days notice as the leave they are forcing. For example if I am forcing 5 days holiday on an employee, I have to give them 10 days notice. They are entitled to rebook those days elsewhere within that time constraint. red, amber and green zones for holiday is vital in a lot of industries. For instance our busiest months are may and june and we will only approve holiday requests for exceptional circumstances.

I’m still a casual browser - I don't post very often anymore as I think I rub people up the wrong way and not my intention at all.

I know there is a good degree of irony in me responding to this over the web but I often wonder if life would be better if it was a passing fad and we were well shot of it.

People thinking for themselves. Cash Campinos

In my experience the posters who have what is described in 2023 as “provocative views” would do well to keep themselves to themselves. Unfortunately people are seldom capable of engaging in well-reasoned discourse and result to ad-hominem attacks or else whine about why the provocateurs views are so scummy via pseudo-intellectual tosh. I used to engage on here quite a bit but I just use it as a football forum to keep up with LCFC now. Well I did, this post is probably enough to set people off and result in a ban. Ah well.

I love cooking, cleaning, washing up, looking after my kid. I don’t like going out but force myself to for the sake of my wife and social conventions. I have a relatively well paid job but my dream would be to sack it in and take a job as a kitchen porter or cleaner. I think one day I will probably do that.
