Taileron Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 I’m reaching the end of my career working for Her Majesty and I have started to feel a little past it, a point which was illustrated by one of my young subordinates this morning. Allegedly being a “social media influencer” is an actual job. I thought it was just a term for some work shy loser to sit at home on facetube all day. I mistakenly thought an actual job was where you went to an actual place of work and contributed in some way and received remuneration in return for your efforts. How wrong was I....

snow white Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 It ******* believe where do they come up with these names and how can they turn round and say they had hard day. I used to break between 8/10 ton of car/lorry engines with burning gun and sledge hammer per day I never used to say I had a hard day back home shower round pub till tea time then back round pub for game card darts or dominoes till kicking out time then back at it. Mind you if you could see me know riddled with arthritis ******** for walking more than 40 yards with out getting out of breath would I do it again hell yes really enjoy it.

The sales person genuinely thought that telling us Mr G Clooney wore this particular brand would somehow sway us/me into buying it. We didn’t buy it.

NatureBoy Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Ask Mark Avery! He's been trying to influence folk for years in his negative, misinformation, passive aggressive style. No ones ever worked out what he actually does for a living? Least his book he always banging on about (inglorious) is out of print now!
