High 5s and Low 10s

That's one way of getting the shit goal difference sorted. If only we could played the (way below) Pars every week. Actually the result makes us look good. We were in the first half but the game sort of expectedly went very flat in the second half. Depsite somehow managing to get his name on the score sheet twice (Oh my god imagine a hat-trick!) Nish was still very much pish.

On the strike front it looks like very much on for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week however talks are still taking place. If only they could consistently apply maths, the whole thing could be sorted out very quickly. I personally find it galling for a Trade Unionist to question the overwhelming mandate for industrial action taken by Unison, on the basis that its 10% of the city's workforce holding the rest to ransom. It's compounded by the fact that further down the page it goes on to state "We've addressed the issue of Equal Pay and we've offered a deal where nine out of ten of our staff will either receive increases or see no change in their pay. We're putting in place measure to protect the pay of all of our staff and ensure that no-one loses out at the end of this process." So let me get this correct, that's only 10% of your workforce who are going to lose money?? Frankly if they were to Guarantee the latter part, for life, not 3 years in writing, then it would be a done and dusted deal.

Still, there's good news round the corner. Not long for this earth I hope, and a merry christmas will be had by many, particularly if his chum follows quickly.
