The State of the game

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

PMSL. You're on a roll here, Reidy. Teachers and now home owners...who's getting the hairdryer next?

for a teacher thats a pretty unintelligent comment you just made.

i am a homeowner myself, i am talking about the people that have hocked themselves up to the nines, the reason that others are now sufferring.......because shazza had to have the becks/rooney type wedding costing £30,000.
you know what i mean so dont act the prick, or is this your way of deflecting from the valid points i made about teachers.

Eh? I'm not a Teacher.

Calm down, read the posts...you've completely [Poor language removed] lost it.

I disagree that hes lost it, he made some valid points. But not every1 is suffering cos they lived beyond their means, a few ppl, me being 1 of them are suffering cos some firms have to cut back, thus leaving them no job. And it aint easy at the moment to find 1. But ive still got my season ticket, ive just gotta hope that something happens before next April/May or i wont be getting another next season. .

Its not really this season that the crunch will happen, i think unless we get an upturn soon you will find a lot of people struggling.

I'm not saying he's lost it over that issue, he's obviously right about that. He's just called me a prick - or doesn't that count as losing it?

sorry dave, i have just typed a large post which included the apology and then when i hit send i had lost my connection, mistaken identity.
i usually leave the more abusive posts to others, teachers do wind me up though as tbh they have it bloody cushy, if it wasnt so cushy they wouldnt do it.

Now teachers are pricks...I'll grant you that (only joking lukecrossland ).*

No problem Reidy mate.














*Not really, they are.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

you've got a fair point dave. i wasnt even in the right thread was thinking this was the one with the teacher.
my long post had a case example....

couple who used to live opposite me, moved in with a 100% 55 k mortgage, stayed 4 years and had everything, then sold up for 120k, mortgage when they sold was 95k. ffs they had hocked it all against the house, now they have a 150k mortgage and quite possibly neg equity, they are complaining that interest rates have risen and they could only just afford it when they bought it. they cannot see that it's the way they live their life that is putting the rates up, they have to have everything and now. btw he is a copper and she an intensive care nurse so they should be able to afford quite a decent lifestyle.
they will no doubt get bailed out as they are so called "key workers", which is something i am punching myself not to go off on one about, i will keep it short......

if these 'key' workers cant afford to live on their salaries then how the [Poor language removed] are the rest of us supposed to ? and what makes their job so important above others ? try to do without the railways, the truckers, the printers, bakers , abbortoir(SP) staff, undertakers, and most importantly LOCKSMITHS all jobs are 'key' for different reasons.

i feel for the ones who get made redundant as i have been there many times, it's a roundabout that keeps arriving and if your the shop floor fella you usually get feck all as well.

we all know someone like my case example though and these are the ones who will stop putting the casual money into the game.

Seriously mate while i wont disagree with anything else you said if you honestly honestly think all teachers have it cushy you are completly wrong.

I'm not a teacher and i have a pretty low opinion on certain types of teachers (self obsessed bullying pricks) but good teachers, i know a few of them and trust me, they do not have it cushy.

The amount of [Poor language removed] they have to take from pupils and parents alike is terrible, and you may think they work 6 hours a day 5 days a week but they don't. Good teachers spend as much as 14 hours a day sorting out work for their classes and do work at weekends.

As for you having to do their job in the evenings, again that might be true for [Poor language removed] teachers, but the good ones have to spend half their time during the day doing the job of bad parents.

Never forget the job a good teacher does when rightly slagging off the bad ones.

You'll have someone on your back in a minute telling you all coppers actually live a hand to mouth existence.

Seriously though, and without wishing to sound too much of a [Poor language removed] about it, I think most people who've been sensible about not overdosing on credit and notching up large debts are now viewing what's going on with more than a little satisfaction. It's a natural reaction....Schadenfreude. Nobody wants to see anyone on the dole, but the bullshit z-list celebrity chasing lifestyle some have sought to emulate is at an end.

I'm begining to like this ranting stuff.

Excuse me Kel you missed nurses off the pay they receive compared to the job they do is scandalous,I wanted to stay in general nursing ,but I have a wife and at the time a young daughter so I went to work in a special hospital ,the type like Broadmoor where its quite possible you will get a serious injury I dont know anyone who has worked there for a while and not been assaulted,so the pay while not great is better than general nursing and the pension is also better.as for teachers a friends son went into teaching he taught Rooney ,but gave it up and works in a hotel because he could not stand the abuse he received daily from out off control thugs and parents with little backing from the school.so while I agree with you not all teachers have it cushy,as for this financial thing what worries me I am not always fit enough to go to the big supermarkets and the corner shops prices now are horrific I paid£3 for a pound of butter today ,OK I know I can afford it but what about the pensioners that cant?on the other hand a guy lives by me has his ticket and accommodation in Madrid for the R/S fair enough ,but the guy left school ten years ago and has never had a job,claims looking after his kids with his girlfriend is hard enough

Id see CL qualification as a platform for wionning trophies so would prefer that, sad and all as that is! Though theres nothing i can do about it, would be made up with any pot though!

With the level of inconsistency we are seeing in the leauge, i think the FA Cup will be intresting this year, if we get a kind draw it could well be our year.

i know some nurses arent on high pay roy, she's on a good wack as she's in intensive care and works the shifts an all that, she keeps on doing exams and gets rises, maybe small ones but like i see she's not on a bad wage.

 

[stanleypark]

One good season does not automatically follow another. Give me a trophy over 4th anyday.

Just say we finshed 4th last season with a start like this we could have been out the CL and then out the UEFA Cup. Everything gone. A trophy is a memory forever. 4th place isn't.

Admittedly as a staff nurse the cash is not that bad ,but with the training involved and the responsibility of the job the pay was poor.it has had a few rises since I got retired.note I said GOT retired as because I had heart trouble I was deemed security risk and was pensioned off and because I was under 55 I had to fight for my pension to be paid,rather than wait until I reached the acceptable age . the guy for the dss actually told me it would be better alround to wait? so how was I going to meet my bills? I won the case .
