That's shocking- though perhaps not, as that is a fairly long flight of locks for Jeff to work down singlehanded .... Silly old bag.

Well that would be a good excuse. “Telemachus” in large writing on the boat less easy to excuse.

No. Also Nick did say it was he who was driving when Rog gave him the disdainful stare. It was me driving.

I did think you gave me a somewhat blank stare! Sorry again ... it would have been good to shout Tellymackus as you passed by 😁 You looked much younger with more hair than I recall, but it must be three years since I last saw you and sang happy birthday. Rog Hmmmm, I was wearing a peaked cap to keep the sun out! 67 this month, but I’ll take the “younger” compliment!

?? No you were standing beside your boat when I waved at you, and you commented on our flowers. Well I think it was you. Or else it was someone seeking revenge and trying to steal your boat. Would have been around 2pm I think. Jeez ... sorry. I hadn't registered it was you ... I never saw the boat as you were passing alongside as I looked up ... just saw the flowers above my boat roof. Rog I did think you gave me a somewhat blank stare!

Well there’s a new one, I have never been called little before! You do seem to have a lot of anger in you. I suggest that you masturbate more frequently, it helps to relieve stress and anger. To be frank and honest, I don’t care who you love or want to have sex with, as long as it’s not me, kids or animals. Just stop trying to piss on us, and tell us it’s raining. It’s raining.

You should have let me know you were going to be passing Telemachus ... after fixing the travel power (hussar again) it was launderette day ... guess that's where we were. Rog ?? No you were standing beside your boat when I waved at you, and you commented on our flowers. Well I think it was you. Or else it was someone seeking revenge and trying to steal your boat.

Last full day of our trip. Shame because these last few days have had the sort of weather we should have had all through July - but didn’t. All very quiet until we got to Atherstone top lock where suddenly it was mayhem with boats everywhere, mostly not moving for some reason. But even though it was very slow, everyone we chatted to was very pleasant. Unfortunately we missed the excitement 2 boats back where apparently two blokes were brandishing windlasses at each other threatening to do each other in. If only I had been there I would have suggested the perfect forum to vent their anger on - Thunderboat.
Saw mr Dogless still moored in the long noisy pound. He gave me a very warm greeting as we passed. Fortunately his flame thrower ran out of gas just before we came abeam.
Then more/different nice people ahead - earlier ahead boat had tied up in the long pound. They had just bought a new boat and were moving aboard, sensibly first staying in a marina until the boat was sorted. Lots of questions about batteries, solar etc which I did my best to answer. Then another new boat came up behind (earlier boat behind us also stopped in the flight) and we had a great chat about the Scottish rogue Nicola sturgeon. All very pleasant. But incredibly it took 4 hours to traverse the flight when, without other boats, it would be about 2 1/2 hours.
Tomorrow will be back in marina and visiting my mother, Sunday we are going on a road trip to Duxford and Bletchley Park, then homeward bound.

For what it’s worth I have a similar dislike of you. As do many other people. Well obviously you're looking for support to dislike me, where as I don’t need any support to believe how abhorrent you are. Pathetic little man. Well there’s a new one, I have never been called little before! You do seem to have a lot of anger in you. I suggest that you masturbate more frequently, it helps to relieve stress and anger.

There is nothing homophobic about not liking nick norman. A horrible vindictive narcissistic gormless individual who seems to be suffering from age related brain problems. First line, can be true depending on why you dislike me. Second line, your opinion which you are entitled to hold. For what it’s worth I have a similar dislike of you. As do many other people.

Oh no I haven’t. Although I suppose actually your comment is a “when did you stop eating your wife” type comment. Clearly I have not ever accused “everyone” of being homophobic. I limit my accusation to those few remaining dinosaurs on here who are demonstrably so. That’s basically you, stabby and Jenlyn. I realise you have a huge opinion of yourself but surely even you can see that that is not “everyone”? I called you out for grooming an underage individual, that's hardly homophobic. You were breaking the law, sick c*nt. I didn’t and I wasn’t. You have no idea. You are just creating an excuse to vent your homophobia. In any case that was just one of many homophobic posts you’ve made.

It's very borderline. If a business can justify it then indirect discrimination can be justified if there is a clear business need. Because they have one branch is pushing boundaries. If its only a requirement when speaking to that branch then that maybe OK, if they are required to only speak Polish then it's starting to cross the boundary. I wonder if they employ polish speaking brits. I think that is the important point, it didn't say "Poles only" it said "People who can speak Polish only".

Looking at their team, they have a few foreign nationals employed to deal with customer in their original country. It makes perfect sense to employ a German to deal with German markets and customers. But at warehouse op level? ETA, all candidates are required to have excellent written / oral communication in English and Polish. Can't see an issue with that to be fair. kris is just sulking because he isn't suitably qualified for the job.

So can we take it that you offered him help? A bed for the night, perhaps? Or even a stale sandwich? No, I thought not. Is that you throwing the first stone ? Loads of room here for you to tell us of your input to resolving his plight. But of course like me and most others here ,there's nothing to say. For my part you comply or leave ... it's not a difficult choice. Rog No it was me responding to a classic piece of virtue signalling. Someone was in difficulty, "they" should have helped him. Whilst the author had done nothing themselves other than talk about it. But of course I agree with the latter part of your post.

However that seems to be about all you learnt. Not so. I also learnt metalwork, including things like what the design and purpose of rivets are. Good for you. But you still clearly didn't learn about the concept of a figure of speech. Hence your earlier confusion.
