Are you allowed to drink (alcoholic) during a working day?

Powlay · 10-12-2007, 05:13 PM

I can drink when i want

being the boss has its perks.

Although be drunk isnt really good is it? Not whilst at work anyway!

But...being around booze allday kinda makes you not want to drink it.

hahaha doctors, that was absolutely hilarious

let Dr. James E. Armour take a look at you after your latest struggle wtih a pulmonary infarction, he knows best after all!

reminded me of jearm accusing people of fasting during ramadan to get off work which in turn led me to think of more moments from his greatest hits: his expansive vocabulary (no exaduation), that time he thought he was dr cox, all those times he embarassed himself and said "you fell into my trap", that time he said a team needs 8 centre backs in its squad. </BLOCKQUOTE>

you what?!

fasting: i said i have no respect for people who suddenly become religious just before a holiday if it entitles them to a day off work-the kind who for the other 50 weeks of the year break every rule or code withign their denomination but become model follower's if there seems to be something in it for them-i also said that extended to any religion, i have no problem with people who are religious, just the hypocritical ones

vocabulary: woopdey doo i'm dyspraxic and misspell words. it doesn't mean i have limited vocabulary-i'm still perfectly adept utilising a full range of phrases or technical terms through verbal communication

Dr Cox: blatant joke ffs if you couldn't spot it get pair of glasses

Traps: see above-stop ****ing falling for them & then bitching

CB: i said m5-6 overall including younger players to come through-Daaaaave said 8 as a ****take.

the novelty will wear off-like chocoholics who think a job at Cadbury's will be their dream job-they soon get sick of the sight of the stuff

i think the good people of otf can make up their minds about the most of them but on the fasting thing i'm going to have to point out that you were specifically talking about ramadan and that makes you an idiot.

people are apprehensive about broaching the subject due to the individuals ability to pull out a 'infringing my rights to express my religion' card knowing full well if a boss challenges them, they'll win ?

its quite unlikely (but not totally impossible) that somebody who smokes,drinks,gambles & has his (or her) bacon butty each morning, will when the time of year for a fast/day of rest (or whatever their denomination entails) become religious & know full well how unlikely they are to be challenged on the other 50-51 weeks of the year when they've shown absolutely no effort to keep to their religions rules/laws.

fair enough i do (despite thinking all religions are equally as pointless) have respect for someone who sticks to their laws day in day out (i may not agree with it, but then thats why i'm not a member of it) but those who just pick and choose when to be religious need a ****ing good kick up the arse- and that includes the Christians who wouldn't know if the vicar painted a pentagram on the alter on December 27th
