Was listening to an episode of the BBC’s ‘Pick of the Pops’ where after ‘All Those Years Ago’ was played the presenter claimed it was the closest that George, Paul and Ringo ever got to a Beatles reunion.
So, it was the Anthology that was the closest?

That it wasn’t. The ‘Anthology’ “reunion” was closer as a) George, Paul and Ringo all played together in the same room b) John’s voice was included and c) they called it the Beatles.

Yes.

I rang the manager at my workplace today (I work part-time haven’t been there for 2 weeks though because I was on holidays which I told them about in advance). Rang him at 2:30pm got a busy tone and I said ok I’ll ring him back in an hour, rang him at 3:30pm, phone was ringing, this time he didn’t pick up, I left a message saying “hey I’m back from holidays, just a reminder that I’m available to work any day this week” blah blah blah”. It is now 6:30pm, the place has closed, he has not called.
Ffs, I have to drive nearly 2 hours to get there and I set up residence in an apartment for a few days while I work there. If he calls me for work tomorrow, he can f**k off, I amn’t going to drop everything and drive 2 hours to get shitty hours with minimum wages for a job where they don’t even bother to answer my calls.
Speaking about not answering their administrative-office is horrendous as well, I sent them on my tax credits when I first started there specificially saying “ASJ does not qualify for the higher-tier tax because she doesn’t earn enough to have to pay it”. All well and good, I pointed it out to them saying “I don’t pay higher-tier tax”.
Get my first wage slip and they deducted “higher-tier tax” off them, I went “
” and emailed them saying to refund me it blah blah blah. And they never replied. Never. It wasn’t until I got my wage slip the next week that I saw they refunded my higher-tier tax. Surely sending an email saying “No problem, will refund on next wage slip” is not that difficult a task.
They also didn’t pay me overtime for working a bank holiday, so I’ve sent them an email on that and (surprise, surprise) still haven’t got a reply. They better be there next Thursday or grrrrrrrr.
And what’s really annoying is all the wasters are the people who are getting the hours in that place, they do f**k all work, just walk about and they’re getting more hours than I do 
Ugh!
I could have applied for a better job back in May if I knew this was the s***e that I’d be getting myself into.

Offline Sound like a useless company. Can’t you apply elsewhere whilst working? Better to find work when in work as you have a better CV and are earning. Plus it’s an incentive as you aren’t sittin around all day drinking cream whilst watching programmes on obesity.

I might send out some CVs but every place that would even think of hiring teenagers is probably full, now that it’s July. If I don’t hear back from then tomorrow they can ‘eff off and I’ll send out some CVs to hotels and the like.
I have a contract with them until September but if they’re pissing about like they are now, then I don’t see why I should respect them when they clearly don’t respect me.

Just be careful as if you break the contract without proper reason they might decide to go after you. Far better to give notice and work thru the period, whatever that is. They may even just let you go if they have enough cover.

Oh yeah I know that but they’re giving me stupid hours, two weeks ago I got asked “hey ASJ could you do 4 1/2 hours on Wednesday? And that’s it for the week”. No I bloody well cannot, I live 2 HOURS AWAY. If I drive 2 hours up, work 4 1/2 hours, then drive 2 hours back- I amn’t earning anything what with the petrol costs.
It is 12:22pm, nearly 24 hours since my last call- still no reply. I’m hoping manager will call me in the afternoon, seeing as he does the rotas then but how easy would it be to call/text saying “No problem ASJ will give you your hours when I have rota done Tuesday afternoon”. It’s not f**king difficult mate, takes 5 seconds of your life to be curteous to someone and saves them from not hoovering about their phone the entire day waiting for a call.

2. Ginger Baker isn’t dead.
But he is in South Africa, and a total dickhead, which is a pretty close second to being dead. Just not quite there yet.
