Dog to dog, you must be one of the rare ones Good on you...

I have never worked anywhere where there is an active union, and not really necessary for me...

haha - didn't take it as a soapy at all loggy , I'm a member and I do realise the whole is greater than the part,
What I find galling is the spiralling support for JG - it hasn't gone well.
As for big ears & his fat mate noddy - no going for that here don't worry!1!!!
No self-respecting union official (me) would do the "plank" walk - I'm ****ty about all the legwork we did for someone else , I would have done it for her but it's just a principle thing mate.


Union official

So Pugs, you'd be handing back all the pay increases you've received over the years...... because your union got them for you, and your not interested in union so coff up ya cheap bastard

no loggy , dumb is when you get fooled into manning poll stands for the ex-leader and soon a coup makes a joke of what was stood for originally .... fooled I say!


No mate, I work for Labour. So I work for the party. The party is what is importasnt not so much the leaders. Leaders come and go, some are great(Whitlam,Keating) others are good (Hawke), some are nutters(Latham), some keep the seat warm(beazley), and some are just plain good people(Gillard). But One things for sure the Party is the important thing, and if you think that the likes of Abbott, Hockey and those others are better,then go for it............. yeah I didn't think so. This isn't the best Labour Government I've seen but it's a labour government , and a labour government that has made significant social changes to Aus.(Carers legislation).....anyone? So no, not fooled.


You work for Labor. Is that you Kevin? No surprises there really, the way you pimp them on here. Must feel good to tell the truth - unusual trait for Labor

Shame you can't spell Labor, as in Australian Labor...

You're dead right Pweedas,
I stand corrected, and worse still I do know the difference. I have no excuses your honor and will give myself fifty strokes... ah lashes

See, unlike the pollies, I'll admit when I've stuffed up and even appologise.

Here's what I recon;

Lose vs Loose
A lot of people are mixing up lose and loose. In particular, a lot of people are writing loose when they really mean lose. Here are the definitions of the two words from my Penguin dictionary:

loose [lOOs] adj not fastened or pre-packed; not tied up or confined; able to move freely; not tight, not firmly fixed; not close-fitting; careless, inaccurate, vague; dissolute, immoral; not closely woven; flabby; (of bowels) inclined to diarrhoea; l. box stable or van in which an animal can move about; at a l. end uncertain what to do next; unoccupied ~ loose adv in a loose way; play fast and l. behave rashly or unscupulously ~ loose n release; on the l. free from restraint; on a spree; ~ loose v/t untie, undo; release from confinement or constraint, set free; detatch; fire (gun); shoot (arrow); (eccles) absolve.

lose (p/t and p/part lost) [lOOz] v/t and i no longer have; be deprived of by accident or misfortune; mislay, fail to find; fail to get or win; be too late for; be bereaved of; waste; be defeated or beaten; suffer loss, become worse off; fail to hear, see or understand; cause or allow to perish; (of clock or watch) go too slowly; (refl) miss the right path; become absorbed in; l. one's head become flustered, panic; l. one's temper grow angry; l. one's way fail to find the right path; l. out (US) be defeated after a struggle.

Examples:


This knot is too loose.
Please do not lose my book.
I had better not lose that file.

One way to remember the difference between the two words is to think that "lose has lost an 'o'".

I think all politics is like sailing a boat. One party steers to the right, the other steers to the left and some how it mostly stays on course.

The main difference between the two is who lets on the most water while on "duty."
......or is it who can bail the hardest!

As said, I have never worked anywhere where there has been an active union.

My company gives pay increases based on market conditions, experience and contribution. There is a shortage of skilled people and our sector continues to grow rapidly, exacerbating this shortage.

If we don't look after our people, they leave. Simple.

Plagerised from an email;


One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting
For him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money
From you , I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.

The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card
And a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door
Then an MP came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.'
The MP was very happy and left the shop..

The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen MP's
Lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens
Of our country and the politicians who run it.

BOTH POLITICIANS AND NAPPIES NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON!
They are all full of s--t
