Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

I hate “big corporate” life sometimes.
Not always better at smaller companies. Our CEO has had a couple issues with our VOIP system (most likely user error) and he has royally thrown toys out the pram. He wants a new system (not thinking about the logistics of how long it will take to get in place etc), when I advised that the termination fee was around £50,000, he just said we wouldn't pay it.
IT is an interesting old world, I remember an old boss saying to stay in a position for a maximum of 18 months and move on, and I am starting to come round to that thought process.

I play "8 Ball pool" on-line on a site called "Miniclip. Why they call it 8 Ball is beyond me, but there you go.
There's an aim hack that can be downloaded called "Cheto". Basically, you cannot miss. The only why you can beat the cheating b***ards is pot a ball on the break and clear up in one go.
Why people play with it is beyond me. There's no skill involved and it just spoils the game. I just quit the game and don't give them the satisfaction.

Dogs. My office is full of dog lovers, who insist on bringing their pets into work on a regular basis.
So my neighbours ones annoy me with their barking, I cycle to work swerving poo and dogs that can't understand a large object moving towards them should be avoided, and now I even have to put up with them in my office.
Why do dog owners automatically assume everyone loves their dogs?

It's not the dogs, it's the feckin' useless gobshite owners, 80% of whom are bloody clueless when it comes to handling their pet.

Spot on. Watch Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly.. Nine times out of ten or more, Graeme Hall ends up rectifying problems with the owner rather than the dog. Dogs are simple creatures, they just want to know their place and what's expected of them.

Maybe for the same reason that people in my office, sorry women in my office, always asked me if I'd like to hold their new baby?
My response was, no thanks come back when you have a puppy.
I have never taken my dogs to work, but anyone that doesn't like dogs is a wrong'un as far as I'm concerned.

The Borthwick era starting with a poor home loss to the scotch.
In attack they were ok until he brought Youngs on, at which point it all slowed down to predictable levels.
Other than that he needs a defense coach as they seemed to think they were playing touch rugby.

People started taking their dogs to the pub.Why? What makes you think i want to see your dog,trip over his lead,slip on his slobber.These are people who normally go to the pub so it's not an excuse to get out.
