When you stand by and defend a player (and their mistakes) for so long they start to reward you with some fine performances to prove that you maybe were right to back them rather than condemn them (i.e. Pope and Fox)
Taking a gamble two and a half weeks ago and quitting a little job I had just to work with my dogs and earn a crust help train other people's. Now having more work than I actually wanted but doing what I want to do is fantastic.
I walked into our office in scruffy old dog walking shorts, no socks and trainers (despite office protocol) and being on compassionate leave (wife was in hospital) my gaffer putting on a show for others made a coffee and made all the right noises, leaning back in the chair I put my foot on his desk to tighten a lace, his face was picture. Standing up and telling him this wasn't a social call and to poke his job and his man management skills were zero, I shook every ones hand bar his and walked out. Fecking loved it, best feeling in the world.

Brilliant stuff.
My boss, asked me what company I was leaving for. When I told him I hadn't lined up another job, he asked why I was leaving? My response? "I'm just bored of getting up in the morning and coming to work here. I'd like to say I've enjoyed working here, but I haven't"

Love it... One of the best lines that Managers come out with is: If your not happy here, dont bother coming into work tomorrow simply because they know they're bluffing and know that most people will be forced into work for whatever financial commitment.
So to throw that back into their face must be priceless

Not so sure my wife will be too impressed when I tell her :

To follow that up he sent me a pm on FB, stating that he would continue to subsidise my final salary pension and that I should enjoy my pension at his expense.
I copied and pasted that onto the companies FB page with attached note.
Hi, sorry for the delay in replying but our flight into Bali had "internet problems" Ref my final salary pension as you will know I had one or two pensions that unbeknown to me I was old enough to start to collecting. I was never that smart at school so the fact I even thought about a pension was a bit of a shock, so as you can image to find out I could afford to retire at 58. Despite your continued reference to how much you did/do for your staff you need to get your head the fact people work in return for cash. I have nothing to thank you or the company for.... You did nothing WE bought a house I was 40, WE got on our first plane until I was 41, now I have no mortgage I live on the coast and have visited 17 countries. I was paying into a pension when your Parents were still collecting you from school. So now you listen jumped up little Oik you can no longer use your favourite phrase of "If you don't like you know where the door is" when you can't get your own way because fortunately no longer work for you. But we are now both enjoying early retirement so you crack on believing that I'm the mug. (See attached photo)
Having recently moved to Barnehurst I now get a seat on the train EVERY day even if the train before was cancelled and all the charring cross riffraff are getting on as well.
Getting a LOL for a post I made 12 (twelve) months ago. I'm on my phone, so can't check who it's from, but from past experience it'll be one of the pet spanners on here, probably the most easily offended and most unique one, thinking he/she is making a clever sarcastic point.
It pleases me to know I wind him/her up so much that he/she had to revisit a comment I made 12 (TWELVE) months ago. And I didn't even have to try.
Spent two hours with a supposedly "out of control" "untrainable" Staffordshire Bullterrier teaching it basic good manners and the owner a few dog handling skills only to find, what we did saved the dog from being PTS............. I love my job

It was from Shay Given.
If it was the Steve Clarke thread, then I looked it up for you and it was from millwallfan.

Yes. I was right. The Offended One.
Can't remember exactly, but I think that was the match Rotherham secured their survival and Millwall's relegation last season by beating whichever team was managed by Steve Clarke (Reading?)
overhearing my complete tool of a boss on the phone saying he has an upset stomach today. My cue to remove every single toilet roll and paper towel from the toilets nearest his office. An hour or so later he has rushed out to buy some new socks.

put them all back while he's out
What his socks? I'm so tempted to say to him "new socks Guv? I much preferred the brown ones you had earlier"

That poo sock story is hilarious. If that really happened very well played.
True story. My boss is a tosser of the highest order. Thank god I've only got 2 more weeks of him.
Given that I only have 2 weeks to go, calling in sick to go and play golf. Hearing the tone of my boss's voice and knowing he was fuming and clearly knew i was telling porkies, was priceless.
Fixing the not long out of warranty washing machine with a £15 replacement part from eBay. Even better was the shout of "cash back" (a la partridge) when It worked when turned on.

Christ I'm turning into @DaveMehmet. I'll be getting boners over daffodils and freshly cut grass soon.

All been shit on in the past/present, but on the verge of sticking a finger up to em. Well done chaps and good luck over the next few weeks
It's like being followed by an angry car.
