Easyjet late again and buy us a coffee

Easyjet have screwed up again, but never admit it.
Last week it was a technical fault that they knew the night before but didn't announce it until 1 hour before take off.
Today must be the same.
They obviously do this to not comply with the EU rules on delays.

Last week 4.1/2 hours late and I didn't work so lost a days pay.
This week 3 hrs late sop may miss a days pay again.

This just isn't good enough, i need to look elsewhere.

The F.A. have a decision to make.

Capello has no idea how to motivate the England team.
The players are arrogant and cannot get motivated.
Let's take a look:
Hart - made mistakes and unsure, but I think still good
Johnson -  good at going forward but slow in turning to come back
Ferdinand - Good but getting on
Terry - Good but getting on. **
Cole - Good but getting on and makes errors and loses his player sometimes**
Wilshire - impetuous and is in danger of giving away silly free kicks or getting booked
Milner - Absolute waste of time. He cannot cross a ball properly. He has no imagination
Lampard - not playing as well as he could have in the past season and a half. **
Parker  - Workhorse but getting on.
Bent - 1 in 15 attempts to score. He had an open goal and can't kick with his left foot with an open goal.
Walcott - Good at times but has no imagination. Like Milner tries to cross when run out to the line and the defender just puts their boot in the way. also Walcott falls over his feet when he is confronted with 2 or 3 players and gets confused.
Baines - a good replacement for Cole but can lash out.
Downing -  never liked him and never will. Well over rated.He missed a goal as well.
Ashley Cole - good player but needs the open field and feeds from players.

All in all the team are too old.

However, although I wouldn't want to lose him Harry Redknap is the man to motivate all the players.
Although, he has his court case in July, so not until after he has been cleared will the F.A. offer him anything.

So if we are to do anything in the European Championship Harry needs to be brought in asap!!!

FIFA and Sepp Blatter fools

So Sepp Blatter says he needed another 4 years to make and change the FIFA.
I think it's more of another 4 years of corruption in his swiss bank account.

A corporation these days are given between 1-3 years to re-organize and improve.

Mr Blatter takes 12 years!

Doesn't quite seem right does it?

One thing is for sure, the UK may as well pull out because they will be the scapegoat for everything from now.

Hypnotist's Mishap Leaves People In Trance

....Three people were left in a trance on stage when a hypnotist knocked himself out during a show in Dorset.

Entertainer David Days, from Weymouth, was performing at Portland's Royal Manor Theatre on Friday evening when he tripped over an audience member's leg.

He was in the middle of bringing the participants out of a hypnotic state and could not be roused by his stage team.

The audience was asked to leave the theatre but they initially thought the commotion was all part of the act and applauded.

After a few minutes, Mr Days came round and was able to "wake up" the hypnotised trio.

Mr Days, 37, later wrote on his Facebook page: "I would just like to let my fans know that I am completely fine.

"A little bruised, but that's all. Thanks for your support tonight, it was a great show with some great volunteers."

His manager Tara Nix said the three participants were also "fine".

Employment agent scam

Today I was called by a nice girl who wanted to offer me a contract role.
I had all the experience etc.
I even explained to her what the job was!

After some time she called me back and asked for a copy of my passport!
I asked why when I hadn't even had an interview or an invitation, so I didn't know if the company was interested.

She said it was company policy to get a copy.
Again I asked why? and that I don't hand out my details willy nilly.

Let's lets take a look at this and the issues.

1. Agents are not allowed to ask your date of birth, so this is a way around the law.
2. Does an agent store the details after printing them
3. If printed does the agent have a SECURE STORAGE. From my experience in Insurance this is open to stealing details from foreign workers to sell. The insurance company lost them all and didn't report it to the FSA
4. Does the agent have a secure interent site equal to 128 bit which is equal to the Ministry of Defense.

Of course the agent fails on all of the above.

So I guess I won't be put forward, but it may give you food for thought.
I am a good Operational Risk person as well!!
