I seriously doubt if you'll be playing the video of AC/DC w/ Bon Scott singing
"Baby Please Don't Go" at the office, right?
Let's see, computer skills you've got... and as for the rest, though, Rover's
totally different than working for the U.S. Government as a secretary like I
am... but no, I definitely don't wear a skirt and high heels.

No to pile on, but I've been meaning to ask Bob.....Why are you so willing
(even eager) to continue in the employ of a corporation which has shown
itself so willing to treat you like a complete piece of shit? If I were in
your position, there would be no amount of money large enough for me to ever
work for Rover again, but you seem to act like it's the only company on the

Well that's obvious! Can you blame him for that? He's just using the
system to his own advantage, since the law in his country allows him
to. So it's either Bob or Rover. Good luck to Bob!

Dave,
I am really surprised by your lack of compassion here. What makes you think
it was ME who put my wife and kids through Hell?
If you knew all the facts then you wouldn't be so rash with your comments or
are you still annoyed over the 'Ejaculation story'
Rover have made me three offers of compensation - Does that suggest to you
that it is ME who is in the wrong?
You may sit there at home rolling your rizzla's all day but believe me
brother I have been to Hell & back. Last May I took an overdose - not
because I was mentally unstable but because of the way Rover have treated
me.
As you know I returned to work today only to find out that there have been a
number of jobs on offer for the past two years that I could have done.
To have a disability is bad - to be discriminated against because of it is
scandalous!!!!
Bob
BOB FIDDAMAN

NO - because if I were to seek employment elsewhere I would lose all my
rights to claim for any severence from Rover.
Remember they placed me on the Long Term Absence Register even though, for
the past two years I was deemed fit enough to return to work.
They claim that there has been no vacancies but I and my employment adviser
know otherwise.

Rover are a Company that have had 9 years of blood, sweat and tears outta
me. To treat me like a piece of shit, as you correctly put it, means that
they are now choking by taking me back into employment. There are reasons
for this Nate that you would find pretty hard to comprehend - I'm not
patronising you here but our Employment Laws are different to Yours.
Frankly, I don't understand.
Employment Law Advisers do - That is who I have taken the advice from.

I think it was pretty clear. You seem to play to win or loose it all,
but remember Rover probably have "the card to bring you down" if they
want to. Try to get to know the colleagues around in your new position
and show them that you are in fact a real nice guy. That way you'll have
a chance to get people that Rover probably still care about to support
you in your fight for justice. And try not to talk so much about what
assholes you think the members sitting in the management of Rover are.
That will only create a bad atmosphere between the employees in your
department which in turn will make your boss nervous. And believe me,
even if he knows all about your story he's probably more anxious about
his own position than yours and will make sure that the management is
informed. And one thing that an employer really dislikes is a bad
working atmosphere, even if Rover have them selves to blame. They will
then wait for the first chance they get and then get you fired for good
(one tiny mistake and it's all over). Even if you don't feel like it,
try to be nice on the outside because your dealing with very slimy
creeps.
Very sad story of your life you have been telling us Bob. I wish you a
better future, you deserve it.

> I am really surprised by your lack of compassion here.
Are you implying that you expect compassion? Bob, if you don't want to be
criticized, then you need to stop laying bare your life story in a public
forum.
>What makes you think
> it was ME who put my wife and kids through Hell?
You have been *voluntarily* not working for two years, and there is no
guarantee that you will recoup any lost wages from this time. It seems to
me you're staking your future and that of your family on a proposition where
the risk to you far outweighs any potential reward. So don't overreact when
everybody doesn't instantly understand and embrace your point of view.
> If you knew all the facts then you wouldn't be so rash with your comments
or
> are you still annoyed over the 'Ejaculation story'
Bob, you keep accusing everyone of "not knowing the facts," but you
continually fail to explain them. You can't chide people for being
uninformed when you're making no effort to inform them.
> Rover have made me three offers of compensation - Does that suggest to you
> that it is ME who is in the wrong?
To be perfectly honest, it seems that questionable judgement has been
employed on both sides. You know, I hate to break it to you, but you can't
be 100% right and have them be 100% wrong. With any issue or argument,
there is merit on either side. I am not saying any of this to flame you,
I'm merely offering an objective analysis based upon available information.
> You may sit there at home rolling your rizzla's all day but believe me

So now we're back to square one, Bob Fiddaman playing the eternal victim and
expecting unconditional sympathy from everyone. Christ, if I was home two
years, I'd damn well want to kill myself too. I was home almost two MONTHS
after my surgery this year, and I almost lost my mind. I was not a cool guy
to be around. It got so bad I went back to work before I should have, and
now my shoulder hurts like fuck all the time. But I decided I'd rather work
in pain than sit on my ass recuperating, because I had no business
subjecting my wife and children to my constant mood swings and petulent
bouts of depression.
Bottom line: It is MY OPINION that you have allowed self-absorption and a
vendetta with Rover to influence you in making decisions which have
benefited no one but been detrimental to your family. Now go ahead and get
all hyper-defensive if you must, but I'm not going to sit here and lie to
you about what I think.
> As you know I returned to work today only to find out that there have been
a
> number of jobs on offer for the past two years that I could have done.
Moral of the story: THEY WANT NO PART OF YOU. They didn't give you a sniff
until the press was involved, so what makes you think they won't manufacture
an excuse to fire your ass as soon as the reporters stop calling? For God's
sake, you're being SO naive about all this.
> To have a disability is bad - to be discriminated against because of it is
> scandalous!!!!
And to cry about it is pitiful.
Doof©
dicks to you and only made 3 offers that got turned down BEFORE the press
got hold of the story then that should tell you something. It should tell
you that as soon as you fuck up, your fired. IT is evedent to me that Rover
doesn't like you for various reasons. I could care less what they are Bob
thats not my business.
I understand your situation Bob but something tells me you were maybe a
trouble maker at Rover before your illness and they used that as a loop hole
to fuck you over.There are two sides to every story Bob and we don't have a
member of Rover in here stating what you did or may have done at work. I'm
not taking sides here and shit, I hope things work out in your favour. But
I'm sure your not 100% the victim in this story as Rover isn't 100% right
either.
Anyway good luck in your battle.

BOB!!! Okay, *disclaimer* The US and the UK are obviously very differnt

Oh fuck it, I give up.

It doesn't suggest they were. It was a token settlement for you to go away
and leave them alone. It happens in business every day.

It seems you decided to make it an extended stay....

Bob, mentally unstable people are statistically the only people who attempt
to commit suicide. I know it's a cry for help and all, but..... oh this
is going from bad to worse.
> As you know I returned to work today only to find out that there have been

Did you really think there wasn't? And..... why didn't you know about them?
You said you were in constant communication with the human resources dept.
Or were you waiting for that 'golden phone call?'
> To have a disability is bad - to be discriminated against because of it is

To use it as a badge of honor is shameful.
Dave
So....we're all supposed to follow the pack and pass out sympathy cards??
> What makes you think it was ME who put my wife and kids through Hell?
Well...it seems to me that you had a choice 2 years back. You could have
picked yourself up and found a new job (thereby earning a fulltime salary &
supporting yoru family but forfitting the chance to become a secretary 2
years later and any possable payout)....or you could stand your ground and
fight the system for fucking you over. You chose the latter...and as a
result both you and your wife are poverty stricken and one step away from
straight jackets. Sure it wuz Rover who fucked you over (hey life sucks
sometimes) but it wuz YOUR decision that any possable payout (and the chance
to learn shorthand) wuz worth more than the misery you have attained as a
result.
> If you knew all the facts then you wouldn't be so rash with your comments
Facts or no facts Bob...I wouldn't have sat on my ass for 2 years going
after retribution which may or may not happen (no matter that they were in
the wrong).
> or are you still annoyed over the 'Ejaculation story'
Don't push me Bob....I'm not in the mood!!!
> Rover have made me three offers of compensation - Does that suggest to you

When you put the foundation of your family in jepardy as a result of your
stubborness (sp.)....then yes it is YOU who is in the wrong.
> You may sit there at home rolling your rizzla's all day
At least I can afford to pay for my herb.
> but believe me brother I have been to Hell & back. Last May I took an

So what...I came from an alcoholic family growing up....watched my sister
and my mother attempt suicide (my grandfather actually went through with
it...hung himself)...seen my mother go through detox (can't count the number
of times coming home and finding her passed out on the kitchen floor and
needing to be carried to bed). I'll tell ya something Bob..it ain't easy
seeing your mother being pulled out of her bedroom on a stretcher by an
ambulance driver after downing a bottle of sleeping pills and a bottle of
vodka. But ya know what Bob....I don't post about my problems in an open
forum for all to read and give me sympathy. All anyone here knows is that I
don't drink...they have no fuckin' clue as to why or what I went though to
get where I am today. Life sucks sometimes....pick yourself up and go
forward!!!!!
Rover didn't put you in the position of deprevity....your decision to seek
retribution (even if you're legally entitled to it) instead of taking the
hit on the chin and find another job...that is what has caused you to be
*unstable*.
> As you know I returned to work today only to find out that there have been
a
> number of jobs on offer for the past two years that I could have done.
But they didn't want you....what does that tell you. It tells me that
fighting the system is not worth being somewhere where I'm not wanted.
> To have a disability is bad - to be discriminated against because of it is
> scandalous!!!!
Discrimination in any sense of the word is a bad thing in my books. But
when you weigh the pros and cons of the situation....is it really worth
losing 2 years salary...having your wife and yourself close to going over
the edge....not being able to provide for your family...and losing your self
respect??
Bob...this post has been coming for a LONG time in my books. Everyone else
may be passing on their wishes of good luck and sympathy for you....but I'm
not going to sit back any longer while you milk this newsgroup for their
pity.
It my post offends anyone..or makes them think any differently of me...so be
it. I simply feel that if one is able to work...they should work. Sitting
back for 2 years and hiding behind a legal entitlement to do so while their
family suffers...then goes after sympathy votes in a public newsgroup as a
result of which....well it really pisses me off!!!!!

Rover have denied me this right.
Before you start saying look elsewhere for employment - which I can
understand - Rover set up the LTAR for people with Long term illnesses. The
Company states that once a member is fit enough to return to work then they
will try and find him a suitable job.
They have clearly NOT allowed me to fill any of the vacancies that arose. We
argue that this is Disability Discrimination.

Everyone is entitled to their point of view. For the past two years I have
been faced with positive discrimination from my employer and yes this has
made me kinda bitter. Shit I love it when people disagree with me because
this is a subject that I am very passionate about.

One thing I have noticed about this thread is that most the Europeans seem
to understand where I'm coming from. Possible answers for this are that the
Employment Laws differ immensly over here and the States or there's a bit of
anti - eurobod thing going on here:)

Rover have a policy of 'A JOB FOR LIFE'. If an employee falls ill, is
injured or is clinically depressed they state that they will do everything
in their power to get the employee back to work. NOT IN MY CASE!!!! Hence my
claim for discrimination.

But they are legally wrong Dave - Why should I let them get away with it. I
have since learned that there at least 20 others in the same boat as me. My
mission in life is to get these people back at work and I am meeting with
the Union on Monday to tell them of my plans.

Milk the Newsgroup? My original post was purely an update of my situation.
If you look at the thread you will see messages of 'Congratulations, etc.
Hey that's nice. You will also see messages of 'piss taking', mainly from
the Cannucks - I can live with that. Dave, to suggest that I am 'Milking The
Newsgroup' is way off line. Just because you don't agree with the messages
of support or think that it is me who is in the wrong does not mean that I
am seeking sympathy.
Your lack of compassion comes across strongly. I seem to remember Fran had
her stereo stolen from her car and there was plenty of sympathy. Did you
write her and tell her to get on with her life?
You come across as a nice, peaceful type of guy Dave but for one reason or
another I seemed to have rubbed you up the wrong way.

Like I said earlier Dave I think this is a personal thing between you and I.
Maybe you've never forgiven me for when I first came in here acting like a
buffoon, maybe you're still pissed at me for writing the 'Ejaculation Story?
Who knows?
Or maybe you're just Xenophobic?
As I put in the header this is my final word on the matter unless I feel the
need to respond.

Dave didn't "rain on your parade," nor did anbody else. All he did was
bring up some perfectly valid points. If you weren't so hellbent on the
avoidance of accountability for ANYTHING, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
You're one of those people who think that everything bad that's ever

a lot of other people. Rover didn't make you slam a handful of pills, Bob.
YOU DID THAT.

Exactly. You have been *voluntarily* not working.

Because you refuse to work for anyone else. You could have severed all ties
when they started dicking you around and gone to work someplace where you
were appreciated. But YOU made the decision not to.

It would be better than you saying "You don't know all the facts" every time

doing.

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHH
Beating-head-into-wall Whoo Yas
nihm
You wouldn't have even had the choice between deciding to find another job, as
opposed to doing what you have done, as a company here would not have to hold a
position for you, or offer you a position when you got well, as you were out of
work for a long period of time.
I handle personal injury auto claims and legally, at least in New York, I have
been told an employer is only required to hold your job for 12 weeks. They may
hold it longer than that, for example, the company I work for will hold the job
for 6 months and after that, you are terminated and no longer on their payroll.
If you were to be able to work again, you would be applying to be re-hired. If
you were injured at work, an employer would probably be more willing to work
with you, to get you off of worker's comp disability as, after all, they are
paying that insurance cost.
If you had been here, you would have had sick time. If you had purchased
long-term disability insurance you would have been paid whatever that policy
provided. When you were able to return to work, you would have had to look for
work, although it is possible you might have qualified for unemployment (26
weeks) when you were no longer disabled. The whole framework of still being on
the payroll on long term leave for years and the company having to find a job
for you to do when you are able to return to work, just doesn't exist here.
I have sympathy for you as I have tendonitis in both wrists, and inflammation
around the carpal tunnel area in the right hand. Given that I'm not actually
disabled (as least not that I can prove - ie typing as tolerated) I don't have a
lot of protection under the law and I'm trying to get through graduate school to
do something else before I develop a serious problem.
I just read your posts and I try not to be too judgmental as the legal game
seems very different over there.

He didn't? Sorry to keep repeating myself Nate but my original post was to
let the NG members that Rover had finally offered me work!!!!
All he did was

Sorry Nate but claiming that I put my family through hell is NOT a valid
point. Dave has a problem with me for reasons only known to himself. Like
I've said maybe he is still pissed off about the 'ejaculation story'
If you weren't so hellbent on the

Contracdiction in Terms here I'm afraid Nate - Are you 100% sure about the
above statement?
I'm not trying to start off a flame war with you here - Christ I've been
through enough of them with you. All I am stating here is that Dave jumped
in on a thread that was supposed to be an update of my situation - nothing
more - nothing less.
Rover didn't make you slam a handful of pills, Bob.

Agreed Nate - I was a victim of circumstance.

No I have not - I HAVE BEEN READY AND WILLING TO WORK - ROVER WOULDN'T LET
ME.
I know this is particularly hard for you lot (US/CAN) to understand as the
Laws are different there.
Put it this way Nate - let's just say that I took your advice when I was
first refused to work back at Rover.
So I resign - seek employment elsewhere. So now I have to try and get a wage
that is roughly the same, around £335 per week.
If you were an employer - would you take me on knowing I had restrictions?
Do you see what I am trying to get at here?

Yeh, because I thought that our laws were pretty much the same. If you

If you find Dave's (or anyone else's) comments so disconcerting, you should
ignore them. Once again, just as you have every right to inform people of
your situation, others have an equal right to critique your handling of it.

1. You were able to work.
2. You didn't.
3. Your family went through hell because of it.
4. It's a valid point.

Once again, NOBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH YOU. People simply feel that you
could have handled things in a better way. Would you rather be offered
advice, or ignored completely?

Yes, as I've never heard you accept any responsibility for any of this. You
would have us believe that Rover suddenly got a hair up their ass one day
and decided to make your life a living hell for no reason. I, for one,
don't believe that for a second.

There's that "victim" word again. You're not a victim, Bob. You made the
choice to place your destiny in the hands of others, putting all your eggs
in one basket while not formulating any sort of contingency plan. You are
not without fault in this matter.

Then fucking work somewhere else, for Christ's sake. I'm getting sick of

Blame it on cultural differences, blame it on legal differences, blame it on
Rover, blame it on the government....blame it on everything and everyone
except YOURSELF. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Isn't any wage better than no wage?

You might not be patronizing, but you're sure as hell being diversionary.
The "our laws are so different" thing is sounding like more and more of a
cop-out.
> Yeh, because I thought that our laws were pretty much the same. If you
> notice Nate the support I have recieved has been from the Eurobods - I

I frankly don't care from whom or from whence your support is coming. That
does nothing to alter my personal assessment of the situation.
> So it's my fault I get OA of the hips?
Yes. Nobody forced you to choose a line of work which would be physically
destructive in the long run. Is it the fault of every drywall company I've
ever worked for that I blew out my shoulder? Fuck no! I chose, of my own
valition, to enter this trade. And I alone am culpable for any physical
damage it has caused or will cause me. By your logic, I should be suing all
my former employers, contractors for whom I've done jobs, homeowners on
whose houses I've worked, and everbody else under the fucking sun. Hell, if
I wanted to handle my situation differently, I could probably sit on my ass
for the rest of my life collecting welfare checks, disability checks,
unemployment checks, and workman's compensation checks. But I'm out there
every day gritting my teeth through the pain and working my scrawny little
ass off. Why? Because it's the honorable thing to do. And if it got so
bad that I couldn't do drywall anymore, I'd change my name to Pedro and go
work in the avocado groves one-handed before I'd suck one drop of milk from
the government tit. Be a man.
>It's my fault I am employed by a

Yes. Nobody forced you to work there.

And the consequences to my wife and children don't matter either, right? So
I can sit around for years at a time pursuing my own personal version of
"justice," everything and everyone else be damned. No thanks.

The advice I have been offered has come from a Professional Employment Law
Adviser. I tend to go with advice from someone who knows what they are
talking about and NOT from someone who needs a spliff to help get them

Bob, I have an idea of where you're coming from. Rover broke the law, you

Ah what's the matter Dave, you feeling a bit narked that I could possibly be
right? After all I have taken the advice of an Employment Law Adviser and a
Disability Officer - both of whom are proffessionals in their respective
fields! For the umpteenth (sp) time If I would have took a job elsewhere
Rover would have got away with Disability Discrimination. I can't make it
more plainer than that!!!

Far from it - your scathing, venomous attack on me has merely bought out a
few of the members in here to respond. Just because you don't like someone
having a go back at you doesn't mean it's my fault. I announced that I have
returned to work how is this Milking Jayse and the others?
Why did you feel the need to come into a thread that was merely expressing
my joy at returning to work?
Your apostles are just as patheitic as you - first they send me wishes of

Oh, give me a fucking break. I'm sure every single damn one of us has
something which warrants compassion from others, but that doesn't mean we're
in the NG soliciting empathy day after day. That's not what self-respecting
people do.

Oh, perfect. So any American/Canadian who thinks any Englishman is full of

That's it, I'm done with your ass. Welcome to my filter, Bob. I'm sorry it
had to come to this, but I can only listen to one man being a jackass for so
long. Look at all the energy you devote to eliciting empathy from strangers
in some newsgroup. If you spent half that energy trying to be a productive
member of society, you wouldn't be such a goddamn worthless laughingstock.
Have a nice fucking life, Bob.

Bob...are you so god damned naive that you honestly believe your own
comments?? My *scathing and venomous* attack wuz not solely due to this
thread...it had been building for a few weeks. You post every fuckin' week
about your problems...whether it be with your employer....their offers to
make you go away.....your lack of earning power (even though there is
earning potential with other employment).....and then there's the problems
with your family (I almost commited suicide.....my wife is at wits
end....yadda yadda yadda). These posts have been coming for over a fuckin'
YEAR now. Like I said....the first gazillion times I felt empathy for
you....but it's at the point where you are milking a public newsgroup...and
I can not sit idolly back and allow this to continue without stating how I
feel about it.
> Why did you feel the need to come into a thread that was merely expressing
> my joy at returning to work?
Because it wuz the straw that broke the camels back. I've had enough of
your public blathering. You make it sound that my initinal response (that
set this whole thing into motion for some strange reason) wuz only due to
your one thread about Rover taking you back...when if fact my *scathing and
venomous* attack wuz something that had been simmering for awhile. Don't
think for one minute that I *suddenly* became angry when I read this thread
the first time....it wuz a case of this thread finally making me snap. Do
you see where I'm coming from now???
> Your apostles are just as patheitic as you - first they send me wishes of
> congratulations - next they're saying I was wrong!
Damn you're thick ain't ya!!!! Dude..if you remember correctly....I
personally gave you votes of confidence (the first gazillion times you
posted). I (and probably them as well) had no idea of how your family wuz
suffering as a result of your stand with Rover. My *apostles* simply passed
on their good wishes to you...then got sick of you milking it....so they
took a stand similar to mine.
> Poor old Dave - the reformed alcoholic who really is a nasty little peice
of
> work.
Blah blah blah.....at least I don't have a wife who's ready to walk out on
me leaving me to do myself in. Oh...I forgot....you're a secretary
now.....that makes the last two years all worthwhile now don't it.
> BAH BAH Take down my page,
Is it down yet?? If it isn't....I will continue to bash you until it is
taken down off your site.
> BAH BAH you're milking the newsgroup telling them you've returned to work,
Your *milking* had stemmed long before this thread wuz originally posted I
assure you.
> BAH BAH Fuck You Bob
Let's hear it again shall we....fuck you Bob!!!!
> BAH BAH. I'm right and your employment Law adviser is wrong BAH BAH.
Bob....did your employment adviser ever take into consideration what toll
your stand on Rover may take on your family?? I mean....with the hell you
put your family through as a result of the last two years....can you
honestly say it wuz worth it??
> Roll one up Dave and stick it where the sun don't shine.
Thanks Bob...I think I will.

Ahh...stick a sock in it already!!!!!!!
Dave - Toronto
capn plectrum
the posts regarding his work/life problems long ago. The only reason
why I checked this thread out was the large number of responses. I was
honestly not surprised someone finally got tired of it all.
I have worked in an union for over 7 years and finally got out of it,
because of shit like Bob, or Fiddy, or poetboy, or whatever nickname
he gives himself, is doing. The lazy fucks I worked with looked for
more ways to make money without working than actually trying to make
themselves more valuable to the company. You wouldn't believe some of
the ailments that they would get and try to milk the company. I
finally got tired enough of it to get a non-union job, I make more
money now, and I don't have to listen to a shit load of whining.
In the NG, there are people here that will share certain things in
their lives, usually if it pertains to AC/DC. I have never seen Dave
talk about alcoholism that solicited a response from the NG. The
marital issues with Top only surfaced when Top was gone for a long
time and people were asking where he was. He didnt make posts like
TOPS MARRIAGE IS GOING DOWN THE SHITTER, EVERYONE PLEASE SUFFER WITH
ME.
I responded to Tops that I hope all goes well, and that was it. We
didnt hear anything about it until someone in the NG mentioned it
again, which was followed by an update from Top.
What Im getting at Bob, is that you have made your point, we have made
ours, we basically stated that we really are done hearing about it,
yet you keep going, and going, and going annnnnnnnnnnnd going.
Now you have burned bridges with people that seemed to like you and
did care how things went with you.
Now, Bob, please move on with your life.

I'm delurking for a moment here. I've been following this for a while
now. I think you've pointed out something important that people have
been ignoring. Bob was following legal advise. When you hire a lawyer,
or are appointed some kind of council, it is in your best interests to
listen to what they tell you to do. That is their field of expertise.
These people obviously felt that Bob was better off doing what he did.
Good on Bob. A lot of people don't listen to their legal advisors. I'm
sure Bob thought of moving on during his two years, but he was *advised*
not to by people who know.
Another thing. Rightly or wrongly, people in England have voted for a
'nanny state'. That is how it is over there legally and politically. I
don't necessarily agree with it but that's how it is. From that
standpoint, Bob is indeed entitled to what he is going after.
My advise Bob, for what it's worth: don't bother discussing it on this
forum anymore. Also, don't take a lot of it personally. Good luck, hope
the new position works out. Oh yeah...AC/DC rocks (now we're on topic)!

expressing my joy at returning to work?
Because most people *do* reply to someone else's posts. Isn't that how
we get topics going on in here?
>>>Your apostles are just as pathetic as you -
Uh huh...He's pathetic but who's the one thats got to cry and spread
news about a company not being fair throughout a AC/DC discussion group?
Who is the one "Oh our great mr. popular Dave" acting like a jealous
school-girl.
>>>first they send me wishes of congratulations - next they're saying I
was wrong!
It's got old Bob...Real old..Hearing your sorry stories for months and
months...After a period of time, sometimes people think different about
a situation, and have different point of views from what they were first
thinking.
>>>Poor old Dave
Poor old Bob - the suicidal, fucked up hipped, innocent victim of a huge
company that wont give him his job back.
>>>BAH
Oh my! Bob did you go to school?!?!? "BAH" is not a real word!
>>>BAH BAH you're milking the newsgroup telling them you've returned to
work
No, you are milking the newsgroup by telling your sad stories for months
upon months, to try to get sympathy out of us. Why else would you tell
about your personal life? I could talk about how my friend Ryan is in
juvenile for something he didn't do. I could talk about how I got in a
fight near that last day of school (yes I do go there Bob, I insist),
and I`m gonna be getting a $300.00 fine and I`m suspended for the first
3 days of next year, but I don't. I come here to talk many about AC/DC,
and not problems.
>>>BAH BAH Fuck You Bob BAH BAH. I'm right and your employment Law
adviser is wrong BAH BAH.
That was said??
>>>Roll one up Dave and stick it where the sun don't shine.
I'm sure he will stick one in his mouth, yes.
Get a handful of sleeping pills, Bob, and attempt to kill yourself from
"stress" over a company.
ROCK ON!!!!

Poetboy was NOT my choice of nickname. I think it was Dave who labelled me

Dave
Back in grade 11....there wuz an assembly at school....so me and a buddy
(Douggie) ducked out to go to his place and raid his parents liquer
cabinent. We took every bottle we could find and poured it into one big
coke bottle (jungle juice...packs a hell of a kick)...and got totally looped
in the hydro fields behind the school. Well....that afternoon....we go back
to school to check out the smoking area (bad move). Next thing ya
know...Douggie's getting a 3 day suspension for stealing the fire
extinguisher and running around spraying all the preppies. When I found out
about his suspension soon after that...I went ballistic...marched into the
principals office....slammed open her door....and proceeded to laugh
hysterically at her two different coloured eyes (again...a bad move). Next
thing you know....my guidance counciler is driving me home with a letter
outlining my 5 day suspension.
Now....I don't condone school suspensions in any shape or from....but for
that one week (in the end of May...beauty weather)....I had my tent pitched
outside in my back yard....an extension cord running out the back door...so
I had my tunes and my popcorn machine goin' full blast while my friends
would drop by and lay out row after row of bottle tokes. Best week off I
ever had.
First day back at school after the suspension I have a short meeting with
the principal who warns me to stay out of trouble and keep my nose clean. 3
hours later I'm in the hydro fields behind the school....with a few
buds....roastin' a HUGE rocket. All of a sudden 2 undercovers walking a dog
take a quick detour over to us....and bust our asses by bringing us each
into the principals office and leaving her to deal with us.
Well....everyone of us denied everything....but the principal took one look
at me then sent my ass back home for another 3 days (back to my tent I
went...with about a quarter ounce in my pocket to keep myself occupied as I
camped out watching tv in my back yard until 3am the next few nights).
3 days is nothing dude...especially for the first few days of the school
year. Hell I set a school record for the least amount of time in class
between suspensions (3 hours). Do the time....and think back on it with
fond memories as you get older and more mature...you will eventually see the
freedom you once had in life.

I wuz wonderin' what the hell happened to wee lil' Toez. So he's up in Juvi

What didn't he do?? How long is he in for?? Does he have access to a vcr
or a cd player (guess a computer's outa the question huh)??

Nah, it's completely different, Jim. Besides, I *did* ask.
Let's not allow Bob's mood swings to dictate what we discuss anyway.
Hell, I say it's on-topic anyway, since we all met you and Ryan at the
BOD-fest, which happened to include an AC/DC show (Take that, Bob!)

You and everyone else knows that I'm a reformed alcoholic because I JOKE
ABOUT IT!!!!! For fucks sake Bob...it wuz over 12 years ago....I'm OVER it.
I make a smartassed remark every now and then about how I fell over in a
druken stupor at a bonfire while urinating....but at least I can joke about
it. I use it the humour as part of my act here at
alt.rock-n-roll.acdc......it helps put a spin on things ya know. Once in
awhile someone will chime in about drinking and driving...at which point I
put on my serious cap for a moment and get up on my soapbox....cuz drinking
and driving is a definate no no in my books....but for the most part I use
my problem with booze as a tool of humour...certainly not as a crutch...and
without sympathy warrented.

Yes, your posts have been all in caps, all self serving. I would skip
them. I wanted to see what got the response for this one, which is how
I got involved. I wasn't surprised to see that others shared my

You have kept this thread alive with this posting.
I have nothing left to say on the matter Dave but if you and your mindless
sheep wish to continue belittleing me then fine. It was good therapy for a
while but I realise that this is an anti-brit thing and seeing as the
majority of this group is US/CAN then it's pointless for me to respond as I
will only get accused of milking the newsgroup.
Each and everyone of you has told me to drop it (the thread) but each and
every one of you continue to harp on about it.
Let it lie - Find somone else to persecute.

Well, his dad came in like 3am, drunk as hell, went up to Ryans room,
flipped his bed over with him in it, then grabbed him up off the ground,
started pushin him, and asked him why the hell he was still awake (which
he wasnt), and when Ryan told him that, his dad went to hit him in the
face, Ryan brought his hand up to block the hit, but he ended up hitting
his dad in the mouth, so he called the cops and sent him to juvenile.
I was up there to see him last night.
Took him my portable cd player, with SUL in it, for him to listen to,
since he`s never been in any trouble before, they give a different
"color code" and he has more privligas.
Me and his brother are trying to get him out by tonight, the latest
tomorrow. We been to the police station, district court, and the
juvenile place. So far, it`s all working out smooth. When he gets out,
he`s gonna stay at my house for a while.
ROCK ON!!!!
Jim
Shit I aint worried about it man, all I miss is passin out books day.
Only thing i give a shit about is the fine..
Hell they wanted to hall me out in a cop car and I just said "A cop car
for what?? It aint like I brought and damn gun in and shot his ass! It
was a fight fight for christ sakes!" So I guess he kinda saw my point
and spared me the escort by the cops.
BTW, I`m sittin here listening to FOTW, and I hear in a whinney type
moan, "Dannngerr Dannggerr" what in the hell is this???
ROCK ON!!!!

No. I think you will find that the Drug induced Pot Head coined the phrase
'milking the newsgroup'

1. Saying Bob should've handled it differently is pointless because we
benefit from hindsight. It's all very easy to sit here after the event and
accuse Bob of being wrong. Perhaps Bob himself would've handled it
differently knowing now what he didn't know then?
2. It costs nothing to wish one well.
3. If everyone had done such, this thread would've been over in two days.
Instead, Bob has spent a week trying to defend himself, just as anyone else
in here would've done.
The next time anyone has their car stereo stolen or their AC/DC albums
pinched or breaks their leg or strains their sphincter, I will say it was
all their own fault and accuse them of milking the newsgroup. Doing so
will, of course, achieve nothing.

Jayse - I post about returning to work and get accused of milking the ng. I
have no regrets about answering that.

My point exactly. Can you imagine someone saying to Nate, Dave, Doof, TTT.
'Stop milking the newsgroup?'

At last, a humanoid!
The fact that our respective employment laws differ means that they (Dave
and his Apostles) are right and I am wrong.
Thx for the vote of confidence man. You do relaise that Nate will probably
filter you now?

Or to try to steer one in a wiser path.

We had "done such" for so long it finally boiled over. So it would have
happened in 3 months from now. So what.

Uh-huh. Yep, each one of us.

Go ahead. And the next time I pinch or strain my sphincter, I'm gonna blame
you just because you made me think of a strained sphincter.
Doing so

So here we sit.
