    Well, they should give him chance to 'explain' all that happened in a fit of pique.
    OR, that's it and the gloves are off.

    Enjoy the fireworks!

    It sounds as if they're shítting themselves now. It seems that the initial interview with his boss that started the whole thing off was something of a blunder.

    Fúck me, they're going to have to pay him a fortune to go quietly and he'll walk straight into another director's job

    Can my company force me to wrote about alcohol when I have a mild hangover, i? Trying to write about a champagne that costs a mere 115,000 of your Earth pounds

    I'd insist on some essential research before writing that piece, la

    he would do well to throw in a 'breach of trust and confidence' complaint. That usually signals the end of the employment relationship and starts the negotiations.

    Naturally, I was ready to call the police at this appalling racism, but was prevented from doing so by the fact that, rather than break down in tears of rage or taking to Twitter, the Irish chap simply laughed at the joke and carried on bantering amiably with everyone.
    So, in other words, someone was in a position to portray himself the victim of a hate crime, but instead simply took a ‘joke’ in good part and as not as evidence of any ill-will or racial hatred.
    Genuinely baffling behaviour.
    We don't tend to get annoyed or angered by such trivial things though others do like to get annoyed on our behalf.

    The outrage last summer when Ian Wright made an attempted joke about Roy Keane's accent for example. There was absolutely no outrage in Ireland about it though I did see some complete fúcking melts getting annoyed on Twitter.

    Doesn't seem like much fun. Cramped and like a video game.
    the little room to have a kip is grim too.

    I believe it is the common parlance??

    Are we saying that Jamie Redknapp uses this on his Sky Super Sunday analysis?
