Yeah, according to Musk it's a commonly used form of bantz in South Africa where guys call each other 'pedo guy' all the time. Having spent over two years there, I can honestly say he's talking utter poo. If you call your average Afrikaner 'pedo-guy', it's a safe bet you're getting laid out! It was a cheap shot from Musk all in a fit of pique because his toy submarine was deemed to be of no use to the rescue team. Childish really!

The piles of rubbish is astonishing We really do have some scumbags about (those dropping the litter not the litter pickers). There are 4 of them. They should make anyone caught dropping litter do a few hundred hours litter picking, maybe they wouldn't be so keen to drop litter if they had to be up early on a cold Saturday morning doing it. We are far too soft with people. There was a video doing the rounds a couple of months back, it may have been Greece or some such country, where a guy had been caught fly tipping his fridge down a deep ravine. His punishment from the judge was to get the fridge back to the top and dispose of it properly. So what’s to stop us from doing something similar with fly tippers and litterers generally other than political will and public service organisation - and a willingness from us all ie the general public, to face down all the Twitter backlash when someone actually has to do it?

I’m very conflicted when it comes to Musk. He’s doing some great things, but he’s also quite problematic (pedo comment, anti trade union, etc).

Pearl Ram Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 With all due respect VG, while being a valued member of this forum, you opinion carries a tad less weight than Musks. If you had called the gentleman what Musk did I doubt it would have attracted global attention, therefore his reputation wouldn’t have been brought into question the world over.

It was horrible. And we used to get driven around just sat on the back of a pick up which is definitely illegal now and probably was then too. And then I got sacked for stealing contaminated cans of cat food out of a skip! And I didn't even do the crime, I just took the blame for the son in law of the boss who'd already blamed it on me then begged me in tears to back up his story. Actually in fairness I didn't get sacked for that but got a final warning because I think the boss knew it was actually his son in law that dunnit. I got sacked a few days later when I was supposed to be working on a Saturday morning but woke up in a car in Skegness with no recollection of how I'd got there. Great days.

SSD Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) People at work who state a company asset as "mine". I hate it. When has that company thing ever been yours? "Have sorted moving "my" container?"....... crikey, I didn't know you bought a huge container. Oh wait, no you didn't, it's the companies which is used by all types of employees.

Some of our friends do this & post the elaborate set-ups daily on FB etc. I just have a problem with the whole concept. Miss Wolfie is a good kid, so why would I want to impose an evil looking elf on her, whose puropose is to spy on her the whole time & report back to Santa if she steps out of line?!.

It’s not mine, it’s still hers and if she decides she’s doing a day in her old office she claims it and I have to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
