Loving the turf wars though…
Verbal is calling it DOWNVOTEGATE , bless him.
Even though I think he’s being a hysterical tart, I quite like the writing.
On the shortlist for writer of the novelisation of Sotonians.com?
What is this down voting thing and it’s purpose? Sure it is explained somewhere as seems as thing.
Can i upvote Fry?

He disappointed me yesterday by referring to The Papnishment, rather than The Pappening.

You gain 2 points when a post of yours is upvoted, lose one when a post is downvoted.
The theory is that it’s a better way of self-moderating than a collection of me-too posters screaming “fuck you, Alps”, etc.
Ahh so is that what this week’s high earners list is? Although notice no apostrophe

Leaderboard is most up to date. The high earners stuff only gets updated every few hours or so, but Leaderboard is real-time.
I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any wrong-doing on the TSW thread. I would also like to take this opportunity to say fuck it, I never did anything wrong.
All bases covered, no problem then! 
Only bletch gets upset about people posting there, but I think we’ve talked him off the ledge for now.
I’ll simply explain that you were all “advertising” for Sotonians over there. He’ll then pick one, at random, for punishment. The rest of you will (probably) live.

NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG??? Wtf?
All those years when we were marooned in the wilderness with just Merry Davington and Saintsplayer for company YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG?
What about all those “Just popping outside for a lucky smoke/sh1t/washing up?” How many times did that back fire on us. I am STILL convinced our relegation under Rupes & Creech was down to goals conceded during your ill timed anti-social behaviour
Here we all sat on the innerweb in the depths of a bitterly cold winter with tempeartures down to an icy 24C because papster won the global warming thread duh and with you telling us how you listening in the blistering sunshine AND YOU DID NOTHING WRONG?
My God you even called in Nuns too early on more occassions than Eric could lose an A380 in the stack FFS.
Oh you can get away with alot of things but your match trhead behaviour was never one of them

Apart from JP Morgan, Lehman Brothers, invading Iraq, Roswell, (how is Roswell Saint these days?)
Don’t you have a fucking golf story we need to know about?

After the accidental death of Bambi’s mother on Friday the G word is now banned in this house hold. My therapist says it could take until mid November to recover
Serious question. Would you hire anyone that used to work at Lehman Brothers? Came across a CV and that was on it, along with a couple of other big firms that went bust. Spider-sense was fucking tingling, as I’m not sure I’d stick a catalogue of failure on my CV, especially one as big as Lehman Brothers.
I’d probably say I was a taxi driver instead.
Depends on the role. You need a sh1t hot well trained BS salesman or a receptionist or an IT guru then fine, but a broker or someone who worked in their programming, marketing or PR departments? I’d pass.
I’d also pass on the sales role IF you were a reputable organisation

My concerns were two-fold really. First, huge household name failures just stick out. They can’t not, so you always wonder what part that person did or didn’t play. The other thing was just that it was completely non-checkable due to defunct company status. Sure, you might be able to list an old boss, but that gives me little confidence as an employer. That person has probably been chosen precisely because they’ll say good things, and of course, anything they say is completely uncheckable (and also from a failed company).
He must have been doing something for the last5 years there is your credible references. Unless he was the CEO or investment director or board member , you will probably be ok . If he was good enough for to job, I’d hire him

But people keep using Anderson Consulting or whatever they want to be called these days. A company with a list of over-budget over-time projects longer than a queue of Liverpudlians applying for the job of gynaecologist’s assistant.
Don’t know if he’s reading this, but huge props to Verbal for his sterling work in recruitment on TSW. We get new members each time he warns people not to join!
