Hospital radio is redundant?
www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19270013
Thoughts? What do you think is redundant in our modern age? Vinyl records? Phones with cables?
Alt, I'm starting college next week, any advice for mature students? Other than the obvious "fuck off"?

Always try to become 'facebook friends' with every single person on your course
and then constantly contact them all about 'all going out somewhere'. Do this several times a day to ensure maximum popularity. Referring to the group as 'guys' is also strongly advised.

right well
joe and kev hired a new telesales girl for our new company last month, Allison.

Allison's skin-ny-as-fuck and got a bit of a rat face, BUT Malc fancied the pants off her. Right?
Well, Malc flirted with her outrageously for the couple of weeks she was here, despite the fact she has a boyfriend, is a recent divorcee, and malc's got a girlfriend too. Right?

So anyway, malc ramped up his charm offensive, sent her some flirtatious texts and whatnot, there's even a little love note on the whiteboard next to her desk with TWO kisses on it. Right?

Except Allison hasn't been into work since. She's booked off 4 weeks sick due to 'anxiety', totally fucked us over because she was our first new employee.

Turns out her boyfriend saw the texts, fucked her shit RIGHT UP, and won't let her back to work. Ummmmmmmmm!
