I'm not sure what's worse either.
Essex isn't bad at all but the TOWIE morons do not help matters at all.

Personally I'm loving it, it just makes a whole lot more sense than him and Laurel.
You're wrong.
Yeah I think it's a really nice place to live, it's just some of the people

I love it too, kind of want them to get together - it's clear there are feelings there.
That smile. Them feels.

I find Carey Mulligan and Elizabeth Olsen quite plain. There's nothing wrong with them, they just don't blow my socks off. For me fancying famous people is about fantasing about people you could never be with, whereas these girls look like the sort of people I could easily pull in real life.

In Drive I found Carey Mulligan quite attractive but not so much in other films.
I just overheard a member of my team saying that at the Christmas party, they're planning to get one of their female colleagues drunk so they can, and I quote, 'have all the fucking sex in the world' - now, apart from the godawful phrasing, should I bring him in for a meeting regarding the fact he's planning to ply her with alcohol? I want to say yes but the guy who said it is a bit of a 'lad' and might've been having a bit of banter with his mate.
I never said it was, but the guy has a bit of a rep for being that sort of guy. The talk of that has stopped but I think I'll pull him in at the end of the shift and talk to him about it.

If anybody said that here they'd be disciplined, regardless of whether they were joking.
Being a lad doesn't mean that you act like a twat.

Agreed, it doesn't matter if he meant it or not, you don't even joke about that sort of thing. Which is rape. Pull him up on it for definite.

Yeah Cyanide, that guy sounds like a dickhead. Shop the bastard!

Musha, I admire your unshakable self-confidence, as always, but...
;P
That's because Drive is as bland as a bread sandwich. She was like a tasty pile of Sweet Chilli Kettle chips on the side of the plate.
See, now I sound like a jerk who condones rape because I didn't pull him up on it immediately. But I definitely will be speaking to him come the end of the shift. And just to add weight to it, I'll be marking it down as a formal written warning.

Straight to a written? It was undeniably shit/poor taste banter but would a verbal not be the more appropriate first step?
He's had a verbal warning from another team leader for lateness.
Sucks to be him.
Well, yes and no, while I'm effectively making his future at the company less of a guarantee, the ball is (or will be) in his court to turn his attitude upside down and try to make things right. Verbal, written and then a formal termination of contract. If anything, it sucks to be me - I hate being the bearer of bad news but, then again, he shouldn't go spouting crap like that.

Went to Brum last week and drank at a jazz club called the Yardbird. Can't remember the name of the drink but I have this pic.....
Anyone know what it is?

It sounds like something you should do off the books, like an informal warning. I wouldn't want a bit of banter I overheard to contribute to someone's contract being terminated. But you could nip it in the bud by approaching him and making it clear that this kind of behaviour jeopardises his future. Even if it just means he's more careful where he says things like that, at least he's being cautious.
EDIT
My post is made obviously with the assumption that it was a joke. You know best whether or not that was a joke or a statement of intent based on hearing it said and knowing something about the guy.

Why don't you ask on their facebook page? Google Image Search brings up this image from a place in Brisbane, but it's still kind of hard to read.

The person who wants to know (who was there with me) sent me that pic. I'm on a wild goose Chase for her.
I'm 90% sure it was beer - it was a very hazy night!

I hear you on this, probably the worst part of being a manager is disciplining people. Kinda makes me glad I don't manage anyone anymore.
That being said I was a pretty good manager, way better than my current manager.
Don't get me wrong, I love my role and the work that comes with it, but fuck, I suck at shit like this. The shift ends at 4:30, suppose I better get shit together.

Thanks 8bit! Knew Britgaf wouldn't let me down.
Holy fuck, I know that guy from a boxing forum I used to frequent. If I was a nasty bastard I'd cross post it on there as they're ruthless fucks. Not as much of a cunt as I thought I was.

Pretty sure one of my classmates is self-harming. He keeps turning up with cut marks on his arms, including one on a bandage, and he wasn't in class for the last week. I asked him about the bandage and he said he just cut his arm on something whilst out one night. Wouldn't think anything of it but he's said this before, and he suffers from insomnia apparently.
Hmmm. You don't get fairly noticeable cut marks on your arms just from day to day activity. Not if you're a student, anyway.

How did he take it?

Either you should talk to him or if you're not up for it, tell him to see a therapist through GP about it. It's usually a stress reliever, just a lot more intense than what normal people use.
Does he drink a lot or take drugs?
Not well. I made it clear from the offset what the meeting was about. He assumed it was just going to be me giving a verbal warning but he saw me taking out the file notes and he started saying how sorry he was, how he shouldn't make comments like that and then he kinda started to tear up. I did feel a bit sorry for him but I wasn't going to back down on what I was doing - I wouldn't be doing my job if I did. I lost his respect as a friend but gained his respect as his team leader.

At 14 this isn't too uncommon, but at your age it is a bit rarer. If he is constantly coming in with cut marks they can't be accidental. It's probably best he talks to someone. If you're quite close to him then maybe you can approach him about it, if not I'd suggest approaching one of his close friends and suggesting they talk to him about it.
Most of the time it's just for relief or attention, but sometimes it's more serious, always best to check.

Good for you, he needs to learn that he can't get away with comments like that at work.

I don't really want to say a lot, mainly because I don't want to seem like a madman, but I probably should ask, right? It's certainly worrisome, or worrisome enough for me to post it here I guess.
I don't really know any of his close friends. I wouldn't call myself one, he's a bit of an odd one. It's a weird thing because as far as I know he does seem to have a fair amount of buddies from other places (flatmates, old society friends and stuff); basically, people who I figure would have noticed if he was up to that kind of thing.
Still. He doesn't really ever get into detail about it, I swear I've tried grilling him on a mystery scar or something before and he refused to get into it. Just assumed that was him being "mysterious" or some shit, like I say he's an odd one.
Well, third year of uni and that so stress is a factor, but if he is doing what I think he's doing than he's been doing it a long time, so it's probably other reasons. I don't think he does drugs, or drink that much. Like I say, not exactly his BFF here, we just share a pathway on our course.
Thing is, I know this won't stop at me. My line manager is in tomorrow and he'll read through the file note and probably have a word with him tomorrow, too.
