Ooooh
Someone trying to shit stir.
If I was an editor, I would report that, because it's so fucking mental anybody could use that as an excuse to take time off work.

If you were an editor of 12+ magazine (the nonce's choice)...
...you'd be all over this like flies on shit because it's the sort of clickbait that this retarded country can't get enough of. Editors couldn't give a fuck about their paper's accuracy, as long as the advertisers are happy and their website is getting mega hits.

Yes, the story is bullshit.
I should take writing lessons from you, probably.

I see.
"Since Wednesday, Peninsula has received 480 calls to its helpline from employers seeking advice on their staff requesting compassionate leave because of the Zayn Malik furore."
So this isn't factual information? I suspect it is real and once news slipped out, some bored cunt of an editor spotted an easy webpage or newspaper column and made it so. That is how media works. Which seems a bit lost on you.

Not lost of me at all, Harpy, old stick. I'll let you guess which industry I'm in.
I fear that it might be you who doesn't know how press-releases work in this country. Perhaps have a read of Nick Davies' excellent Flat Earth News. I think you might learn something.
I'm saying it's a bullshit-but-unprovable statistic/story. They probably received 4 calls, if any. All of which came from the same 'pranker' in their office.

I know, I *am* a wee tinker.
Tbf, it's no more crazy than some of the reasons for compassionate leave I've heard here (at a university). A colleague (who is lovely) got a week for her dog dying last year.

Aww, to be honest that sounds borderline.
Some people develop pretty strong bonds with their dogs, especially if that's their only real companion in life.
An entire week sounds a bit mental though.

THIS was in the paper, its a shit picture so I'll write it here:
'It's a bit gutting because he is the hottest one, after that it's Harry, so I guess I'll have to start liking him now'
This is from a 23 year old woman.
Who now cant find someone attractive as they are not in a band anymore. So has to settle for 'second place' as if she had a chance.
Women are fucking mental.
