I wish I could get paid 40 grand to push on a couple of levers.

You could apply for a job doing this?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:10, Reply)

I could, but i have an education. I'd be wasting that.
Plus I'd have to regularly rub shoulders with the sort of people that don't even have the necessary drive to learn a proper trade. They're really only one step up from dole-scum and get given a similarly ridiculous sum of money to continue their meaningless, empty lives.

Don't forget 46 days holiday.

46 days holiday?
Bloody hell - no wonder so many times we have delays due to staff shortages - they've probably completely forgotten they've actually got a job.

There is literally no downside to driverless tube trains.
The reason the drivers are scared is because they'll have to get real jobs where they'll actually have to work for a living and get paid what their skills are worth.

And if they're lucky enough to have someone jump in front of them they get a year off on full pay!

As I become increasingly misanthropic, I'm starting to seriously consider a career with TfL.

2 jumpers and it's automatic retirement on full pay.

Sign me up for Cashmere!

( GeordieJay Bummers are deaf, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:27, Reply)

I do love cashmere. Can't wear lambswool or anything like that, has to be cashmere.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:27, Reply)

I prefer big, thick lambswool jumpers.
Cashmere just doesn't seem to keep me as warm.

Warmest item of clothing I have ever owned.
Even if it is, perhaps, not an especially socially acceptable one. I fucking love it, anyway.

I prefer using the tanned hides of working class children.

Christ - apparently only 30% voted in favour but they are going ahead anyway
not even you can defend a strike where 70% of members voted no or didn't vote
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:25, Reply)

Your statistics don't tell a complete story, so can't really be used to argue for either side.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:28, Reply)

bollocks
how is 30% a sufficient majority of anything?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:28, Reply)

I don't think I said that it is.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:31, Reply)

It would be interesting to hear how they came to the conclusion that they should go on strike, despite only 30% of their members voting for it.

( Je suis un vagabond is an unfunny, up your own arse middle class knob, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 11:37, Reply)

Probably a quorum of members required innit

In IT Terms a quorum is normally tiny
HTH

It would also be interesting to hear why people didn't vote.
