Jim is correct, it isn't professional in the strictest sense. Always address them by name. Annoying at our spot because there are several people who go by names that aren't their actual names

Ignore it. Doesn't matter if they're a cunt, as long as they're a cunt paying you money.Originally Posted by SvN

So far it hasnt been problematic but when busy if you just reply using their screen name (for example Carl) but you know they insist on 'Jeff' it can feel like you have commited some inadvertant hate crime.

You needed the IG account to discover it? Disappointed.
Lol my ex work colleague called a customer buddy and he went mental, shouting at him that he wasn't his buddy. Six months later he came in cus it turned out his russian girlfriend that he'd transferred 20k to wasn't actually his girlfriend, lol bad luck buddy.
Ya what? She's not fit, but she has a cracking body? Sounds like she's fit.Someone from work who isn’t fit at all requested to follow me on Instagram. She has a recent bikini pic (phone strategically covering her face) and yowzer.
Reply with ‘Sorry guys, won’t happen again.’
I'd call them a jumped up cunt and invite them to conduct a swivel. Or just get Taz in to gammon them to death.
Just reply to their email with the exact same text but the names swapped if they themselves opened with "Hi guys."
Is your customer chabuddy g?
Regarding the email conversation, start your emails with "Sup cunts" from here onwards.
Love that guy. Honestly one of the funniest characters ever written.

Right up there with Mrs Brown, yeah?
Or that chav Instagram family
Polar opposites, from what I've seen.

I stumbled upon this post as I opened the thread. We had a Section 5 Ofsted this Tuesday and Wednesday. We had to work on our foundation curriculum as it was deemed an area for improvement when we had a Section 8 last September, so we've been a bit on tenterhooks for a while too. It was a pain them coming Christmas week, but much better to get it out of the way.
There will be nothing official until January, but it went well.
Edit: like you, I'm history coordinator and they did a 'deep dive' into history.
I thought Section 8's were the only a 2 day inspections? The other being a 1 dayer.
I also was told that all Ofsted visits recently are to be Section 8 inspections due to the past years disruption by covid and local downs. Could be nonsense though.
Was their recent visit due to your school inviting them back? Or did they do it of their own accord? Seems quite a quick re-visit.
Section 8 and 5 are both two days, 8 being an interim inspection and 5 being a full one.
We had a Section 8 the very first day we could have had one after their Covid guidelines changed (the second week of term last September). We were still quite restriction heavy and it didn't go down particularly well. We were a 'good' school and remained so, but if they see a particular area which requires development they will come back after around a year and carry out a full Section 5.
We won't see them now for around 3-5 years.
Ah, I see. Well done on getting through it and achieving a 'good'.
My son's primary school (I'm a parent governor) had one a couple of weeks ago. As expected, it did not go well and the school 'requires improvement'.
The main issue for my son's school is the head teacher previously passed away and they've taken 2 years to replace her. The school was effectively rudderless for those 2 to 3 years. A new permanent head has come in from September and alienated all the teachers. She thinks they're underachieving and she's trying to stamp down her own way of doing things. The next 12 months will be interesting. Not great.
Glad it went well. We've been informally told we'll remain good. I didn't even see an inspector while they were here, but some of my colleagues were seen 4-5 times over the two days.
Oddly enough, we've started excluding students again now.

Well that cunt at the end is getting banged up for a long time.
Yep. Definition of heads gone. I wonder if the pool ball hit anyone.

I thought Guernsey was the civilised island and Jersey was the scummy, exploding house, nonce protecting one?
And yeah, the fella at the end is doing time.
Assume this wasn't for the jobs thread though...

I assume this is the harbour lights (aka Harbour fights) fight. Some properly scummy behaviour if it is.
From now on I'll judge all fights on how resource intensive they are.
Time for my annual pre-Christmas "I have zero motivation" post. Thus is bollocks. Pointless bollocks.
Clearly stints in Southend and Coventry have removed your ability to recognise civility.
Today's my last day and I'm doing very very little.
The Arab is in full send mode as business winds down for the year. He just told me a story about the first time he visited London as a 20 year old. He was a jiu jitsu instructor at the time (or so he claims). He went to King's Cross and wanted a train to Hatfield. Being him he didn't look at the information boards or ask at the information desk, he just went up to a random man in a suit and asked how to get a train to Hatfield. The man in a suit said 'I don't see how this is my problem'. The Arab then elbow-punched him in the face (he demonstrated this, seems to be an MMA move). He was quickly arrested and told that if he offended again he wouldn't be able to enter the UK for ten years.
This was in the context of me trying to explain to him that in this country (especially when on a conditional working visa) it's not a good idea to solve disputes with pre-emptive violence, and that we don't care about 'honour'. He finds this frustrating as, back in Jordan, if anyone insults him or says something he doesn't like, he just lays them out and that solves it.
He genuinely sounds like a man without a redeeming feature beyond being a source of anecdotes for here.
Which is more than enough redeeming feature for me to be fair.
He is quite fun to be around in the sense that he entertains. He is an over privileged man-child with zero self-awareness and an inability to sit still or shut up.
Get him on the board. Best and Worst Poster 2023.
He wouldn't survive TTH. One "" and he'd be turning up on doorsteps.
I think the thing that sums him up best is that he wouldn't accept that the Ancient Egyptians weren't all 10 foot tall until I showed him a graph of average human height over time. Until then it was all I PROMISE YOU and ON MY FATHER'S HONOUR.
I do love the honour stuff, which should be "I will be honest, modest and devout" but just ends up being "YOU will pretend I am honest, modest and devout or you're getting fucked up, son".
It's basically the Mafia model.

His Dad is the man.
I'm ready.He wouldn't survive TTH. One "
I just went and had lunch with him. He told me about both his prison stints. One was for supply of cannabis, the other was for banging an underage girl. 15 day sentence for each, but the first one ended up being longer because he kept breaking people's arms inside when they insulted him.
He also told me about his spell in Canada, where his dad paid for him to rent an apartment in order to study for a degree. He found the degree boring so quit almost immediately and started raking it in as a mixed martial arts trainer. Eventually his dad found out, flew over to Canada unannounced, came to the door and presented him with a ticket for the next plane back to Jordan.
Oh, and (I didn't know this before) someone in the warehouse apparently got fired last month after saying 'Here comes the camel trader' when his dad walked through.
He's a virgin and never been in a fight, isn't he?
Knocking about on lunch with a nonce. Merry Christmas.
He sounds like a brown version of the IT nerd from The Office.
Yeah, I tried to do a 'Hang on there old boy, you're telling this story loudly in a Hungry Horse chain pub' but he doesn't have ears, only a larynx.
She was 16/17 so wouldn't have been underage here but still pretty noncey.
I would simply not go for lunch with the fightnonce, but this is why I never have good stories for the board
The company aren't firing him any time soon, so one is best off learning to live with him.
