This is a question Heroes and villains of 2011

Who were your heroes or villains of the last year, and why? Who inspired you? Who had you kicking the cat across the room? They don't have to be well known, you might even want to laud the achievements of your binman. (Note that "Nick Clegg nuff said" answers puts you straight onto our naughty list)

« Go Back

Steve, the bloke who persuaded me to go back to my old job, is my current hero.
I went from a reasonably-paid job with lots of driving back to a poorly-paid one but with no commuting. I can cycle, walk or run instead. Winner!

More importantly, I feel valued and appreciated. One day last week I managed to wander in nearly two hours late and the boss just laughed.

My villain is Mr Quar's former boss, whose style of 'management' involves picking out various employees in turn and bullying them into nervous breakdowns. This boss was sacked just before xmas. Presumably he picked on the wrong person. Hooray!

You've missed out an obvious hero
That being Mr Quar's boss's boss, for sacking Mr Quar's boss.

Yes, you're right.
Also Mr Quar's boss's boss's boss, for appointing Mr Quar's boss's boss in the first place and so enabling Mr Quar's boss's boss to sack Mr Quar's boss.
