Well it’s official now.
My employer is sending me off to the Isle of Barra for 3 to 4 months.
I will be stationed in a remote part of the island and won’t have internet access.
Aggghhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't suppose there is anything I can do. :( :( :(
-
Bluetooth ? (or is there no mobile signal in such remote parts ?)
Satellite phone ? ;)
-
You will be missed Highlander ;)
-
Can you not take some homing pigeons when you leave ,for urgent messages ? ;)
-
I hope this is an April Fool message H. :(
-
Don't post on 1st April mate! :) ;) ;) ;)
-
Never mind it is a beautiful island ;D ;D ..just think of the pictures. Always the weekend..xx
-
Message in a bottle H. ( possibly faster than some broadband providers.! ) ;) ;)
-
oh H !! no,,, we will miss you. As you know I am familiar with your firm from my investigating commercial opportunities north of the boarder late last year......they were really helpful. I notice the announcement on their website www.asandj.co.uk .......not sure whether congratulations are in order....or not !!! Sure the sheep will think its christmas.
For what its worth.....I have over 100 years experience in HR and run a consultancy based in Cambridge. In terms of can you do anything about this, it all depends whether there is a mobility clause in your contract of employment...it pays to read the small print .... happy to check it out for you if I can be of help xx
-
Oh no, 3-4 months without daft quizzes where all the answers are wrong anyway??!!
At least you made the website, I don't think you've ever been on that before: http://www.asandj.co.uk/news.asp?newsid=22
Looking forward to 3-4 months of easier admin already.
-
You could keep yourself busy with a little renovation project ?

As I recall you didn't get many, if any of the "answer on the card" ones so being away might let you off the hook for a while

Maybe that's because the World's tallest building isn't Dingwall post office

Thanks for the compliment pookie - it's not the greatest website in the worls and I'm not sure why the put the announcement on. Thanks also for you offer.
At least some people are willing to help rather than make so called funny remarks about quizzes.
-
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just saying if you are going to do a quiz you should be sure the answers are correct. Also it is absolutely infuriating when you ask the questions then slope off to bed ignoring the answers till the next day so nobody knows if they were guessed correctly already.

It's a good job you weren't trying to be funny because you succeeded

There's no need to use reply with quote when you are replying to the last post. 3-4 months without all this nonsense, can the project be extended?

I haven't got the first idea of what you are going on about re this quote thing. >:( >:( >:(
And I have say I'm beginning to think that Barra not not be such a bad idea after all
-
Barra's loss is our gain, trust me.
-
Oh really !!!
Well I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to email you the Grand National sweepstake information and you can sort it out because I've had it on here
BYE BYE !!!!
-
Are you still here?
-
Bullying - H is H twas always thus ;)
-
Are you still here?
NO !!!!! and you can quote me on that
-
Hmm, I believe this may be a very elaborate April Fool joke, involving both Highlander and Scunner! If it is, congratulations, it worked! ;)
If not, then you really will be missed H! :(
(Hedging my bests you see!)
-
H.....thanks for the email.......looks like the terms of your contract allows them to do this. After Scunner's post, I'd welcome the peace and quiet if I were you !!! Still, look on the positive side, at least its spring / summer....it could have been worse, they could have sent you in November / December :) What does Brenda think of all this ?
-
I'm still checking in after midday to see if he's going to Barra! ;)

Wow, that's some experience Pookie - 100 years and you are still working.........amazing! ;)

Don't suppose there is anything I can do. :( :( :(
How about telling your employer to poke his job and retiring to Calis - Simples !!!!!
(At the age of 61 I'm surprised you are not there already ;) )
-
My apologies for not owning up sooner after 12 noon but I have been unavoidably detained since my post at 10:26.
My posting to Barra is indeed a hoax as indeed is scunner and my mini spat within the thread (and on the Thomson thread).
My thanks to pookie and scunner for their assistance in the deception.
If I need to apologise to anyone, and there were quite a few, who genuinely offered their help with Employment Rules, then I do so unreservedly.
-
Silly old twat
-
Oh sorry is it over :D
-
Oh sorry is it over :D
YES

Sadly the quest to master "reply with quote" continues
-
Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;D ;D ;D
-
Silly old twat
My thoughts before I read your post Scunner. ;D
H you got me at first because I believe you sewed a seed on Sunday night by asking for assistance re employment law etc.
I was expecting a full teddy out of the pram spat with Scunner when I started reading it but you kept it quite mild.
All good fun though. ;D
-
So its not goodbye from him. Oh well, we'll just have to put up with him for a bit longer I suppose.
-

That was the plan, amazing how difficult it is to actually do though - I am quite fond of the old duffer ;)
-
Well done Highlander, and Scunner, on your deception! Didn't think much about it yesterday with your post asking for help on employment rules but sort of twigged today! Somehow the spat between the two of you didn't quite ring true for me. Rather glad it was just a bit of fun. :)
-

Does it ?

It is a beautiful place but I wouldn't have fancied flying in or out :o

you little rascal!!

As Joey Barton famously once claimed "God loves a trier" :)
-
Good scam H, but there was no way you would become a Barra boy and leave your lovely Brenda for months on end ;)
-
"and leave your lovely Brenda for months on end" totally correct badger :)
But if it hadn't been a scam the present Mrs H would have been delighted :-[
PS note the non use of "quote" :)
