If it's anything like the orange Monster it'll be decent.
Talking of energy drinks, I'm kind of avoiding them after drinking one every couple of days until recently. No real reason, I just got fed up of feeling buzzed I guess.

If I pour my own drinks, I choose the vodka intake (reason why I get fucked so quickly)

I've never heard of Dragon Soup, sounds like something from Game of Thrones.
If you can find a shop that does it always add it into your basket when your getting a carry out. A few cans to get you started or finished. It's really easy to drink too, your body won't think its drinking anything else but an energy drink. The taste of the vodka is 100 percent masked.
Its a hard hitting drink for sure.
I'm the same, I don't touch vodka for that reason. After a few its so damn easy to pore half and half mixtures.
Can't believe you Englishmen have no heard of this shit lol, It's in every corner shop in scotland.

Excellent. 8pm is good for me.
Urgh, sitting melting in the van. I'm actually hanging out of the door!
When I was about 28 I found out a friend from High School / College (and we were close friends when we were 12) had died of Leukaemia. It really threw me, he always seemed healthy, played basketball etc... It just seems so young no matter how it happens.
I was too mesmerized by the lack of hair on the legs to make a comment.
EDIT: Sorry to hear about your friend Chinner.
yeah indeed, he's only 24 and was just entering his third year of uni. it's pretty sad.

The below doesnt affect me in any way, Im certainly not the friend mentioned below, I am however interested in peoples opinions.
One of the teams where I work have been told that they are now under consultation, 35 positions will be deleted and the people within those soon to be deleted 35 positions will have to apply for new positions that will be created, 10 new positions will be created.
Out of the 35 employees one is currently on maternity leave and another employee is going on maternity leave very soon, they have been told that they will each get one of these 10 jobs. So realistically there will be only be 8 positions available for 33 people.
One of my friends is in the consultation, he says that the employer cannot discriminate (obviously) but he feels that they are discriminating by giving two jobs to two employees who will be or are on maternity leave and he feels that these two employees should be treated like the other employees.
Thoughts?

Unless they are the backbone of that subgroup that is unfair.

That's my guess too, I very much doubt that they are doing it out of the niceness of their hearts.

Bullshit, that guy who is making a fuss should kick up an even bigger fuss

The company is protecting its ass, if they made these two women redundant whilst they were on maternity leave they'd be in deep shit.
It's terrible knowing when your like 70 or so you will have this situation to deal with every few weeks.
i made a similar remark to my girlfriend; it's only going to get worse as we get older.

This is actually making me quite angry, it doesnt fucking matter, should all the women in the department get preggers so they cant lose their job?
Problem is, it sets a precedent for other companies to fuck over pregnant women. The law is there for a reason, sometimes it seems crap (like in this instance) but in most others it's vital to ensure women feel safe to start a family.
Companies have no moral compass, they would screw all pregnant women out of their jobs if they could get away with it.

It's a Human Rights law man, you can't just ignore it.

But it's not about screwing the pregnant women, they're screwing like 25 people, so they'll be screwing just the non-pregnant people
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
In positive news it looks like you guys passed a gay marriage bill for England and Wales. Good show chaps. Embarrass the fuck out of our country for barely being able to secure legislation in a handful of states.
I think it's an important rights protection practice to protect women from getting the boot due to needing more time to carry, deliver and care for a child. There really is no way around it, as unfortunate a situation as it is. People are being let go no matter what, the real ugly side of it is that the company (fully knowing pregnant women are protected from redundancy during maternity leave) has told everyone else that instead of offering 10 spots they are only offering 8 because of complying with worker rights. That's scummy and bullshit.
The only realistic and fair change I could see happening would be to extend those protections to new fathers as well, but those situations are a lot less important as the men are not the ones carrying the child and thus are less likely to be taking time off before and around the time of birth.

Well yeah Jackben, that would be a good solution, so maybe they should fucking riot for that then

Pretty cool dude. A bit too much of an advert for me though.
I've got my eye on these two Diesel ones. Diesel tee's fit awesome:
Really dislike that Freaks and Geeks font text but apart from that it's a nice t-shirt.
This one is really cool.

I like the jeans one, but there's no fucking way I'm spending £40 on a tee.

I believe Clothing prices now are barely justifiable, atleast when you bought a tracksuit at JD you knew you were buying it for the brand and quality, now things are pricey for the fucking sake of it, it's disgusting
To be fair, the only brand I find justifiable is SuperDry... their shit is the dogs bollocks.

Memb
Seriously?
Yeah, I love rocking my SuperDry tee, quality is great.
I used to have an Ecko tee as well, that lasted me three years without going all bobbly and shit - but now it's ruined a bit - Their new stuff doesn't last either.

The only problem with their tees is that the cotton is almost too good. They're a little thick on a super hot day. But the material, fit, stitching, everything is primo quality.
Edit: Tash, chavs are cool. Loosen up man.
