management lurking..

So you post that your employer is an idiot who couldn't organise a celebration in an establishment dedicated to the production of Real Ale.

And it's NOT their business?

Imagine you post it on a billboard in the town centre rather than on FB or some other social media.

You do not post anything that cannot be seen, we now know (Thanks to the Grauniad and others.) that the UK government, the US government and Uncle Tom Cobley and all have the ability to monitor individuals electronic life. My emails end with a signature to the effect that I know this, and I write in the knowledge that Big Brother not only exists but has better IT skills than me.

Some years ago I read up on subjects, in the local reference library, that I would not dream of looking up online today, if I did the Thought Police, the Anti-terror Squad or Future Crime would have me in custody. I had entirely innocent reasons to know this stuff and used it in planning a Wargame (Yes I'm a Wargamer and we recreate battles in miniature on a table play with toy soldiers.) but frankly the material was in such well known publications as the Jane's Defence Weekly and their associated books, and is still freely available. BUT I'd no more dream of running an internet search on this stuff than fly to the moon. Such is the effect of my paranoia, and the very real state of society today.

Pfffffffffffffft!, don't know what else he's written up there but he' only bloody admitted to being a wargamer a.k.a weirdo bedroom dweller.

He wants to be blimmin careful an'all, because that's how Rock Hudson started!!!

And then included your former name underneath...let's hope Columbo is not on the case eh?

Yes, very good. But doing that and keeping my avatar the same for a short while were part of the t's & c's of the change.

I'm reminded of an acquaintance of mine who was a prolific contributor on a drumming forum, his chosen career is a lawyer. He was issued a written warning by his employer to stop posting on the forum during work hours and told in no uncertain terms to cease posting on the forum at all times as it did not reflect well on him and the firm.

That's a cymbal of something :-)

Reminds me of this (some sweary words)

Tish

The 'tish' bit is also a cymbal I guess

I like using facebook, and I use twitter more and more (mostly for links to foreign newspaper articles that I like to read, to keep language skills up)
But I use FB for sharing music I like, photos I've taken and occasional witticisms (not the 'and of the pier' stuff I tend to put on here, though).
Only got one workmate on it, and he's a mate outside work too. Nothing ever goes on about my job, and I haven't put on there where I work either.
Most 'friends' are actually friends, one or two who I haven't met, but that's all.

Ahhh; but he put "FORMALLY" known as Greg Collins, rather than "formerly". So that's ok then.

Given to believe that FB has been checked, at work, to see if people are 'out & about' when they've phoned in sick

Not being fit for work and being fit to leave your house are two different things.

Where as a fish is a symbol



That religious types have as a sticker on the back of their cars.

You can buy the answer from the Darwin society, a fish with legs and holding a spanner with 'EVOLVE' inside the body I have one on the back of my car to annoy Happy Clappies.

Big Brother is watching you-when he can remember which tapas bar he left his laptop in...
