It's funny, but if you type that place name without spaces, it comes out as ****.

Manchester is predictably gloomy today.

I'm still at work completeting an IF1 (Incident report) about a customer that royally abused and spat at me today. He called me a "thick bimbo" amongst other things, which actually amused me.

Sometimes, this job gets me down.

I stood my ground and shouted "GET OUT OF THIS OFFICE" at him, everytime he spoke I shouted "OUT, I SAID!"

I don't need no security guard...

Hell hath no fury like a smorgs scorned.

Still shaky though...

I need some chocolate.

Sounds a little like the building sites that lot Smorgsi. Always happens when somebody is miffed at something or another, then they start bellowing!


On the roads it's exactly the same, road rage with capital F's and C's every time. I'd have thought your place would be equipped with cameras and recorders. A guy I heard about is buying up copies of these types of incidents to make a TV programme about them. seems hospitals are the best types, they are probably drunk!

Personally, I think its pig ignorant, but most of these idiots don't have anything to loose by getting arrested etc. They simply don't give a toss.

I've just noticed that I've met two people of that horrible M25 accident, more than 30 years ago, at a wedding in Monofieth. (that former footballer, his wife was killed) Crying or Very sad

...it wasn't just me who was "thick". It was everyone that worked for the Government and all the other jobseekers were "little people with little intelligence".

I gave him my whole range of evils, he's lucky I didn't punch him in the face! But he wasn't worth losing my job over, then I wouldn't be able to pay my tax, to fund his lazy lifestyle, a forty year old able bodied man who hasn't worked for NINE years!

Sorry for the rant.

You are entitled to let of a bit of steam after such a demeaning incident. I feel you behaved admirably under the circumstances smorgs, a credit to your professionalism, you were the winner.

Smorgs's bad day
Hi Smorgs

Been busy since my first post last week but I've just looked in and read about your bad day at the office. That was nasty. Don't think I'd like your job (most of the abuse I get is over the phone - they can't see what gestures I'm making as I sympathise with them!).

Maybe he had been up all night watching the cricket on his HD TV and needed to take it out on someone.

Anyway, I just wanted to suggest that, if you need chocolate, get down to Asda and see if they have any Asda Cocoa Dusted Truffles left. £1 for a 175g box. They will be guaranteed to take away the bad taste. Don't know why they only sell them at Christmas. Probably the Nanny State dictating that we can only buy these for a limited period to prevent even more obesity!

Hope tomorrow is a better day.

The bloke might have a point smorgsie.

It's his rhetoric you are objecting to.

You are using the objectional rhetoric to discredit the general intellectual position he was attempting to support however distastefully.

Now that's naughty in male circles. It's so cheapskate. It's a verbal trick that underestimates the intelligence of your fawning readership.

It is quite well known that everyone who works for the Government and all the other jobseekers (a lovely phrase I must admit) are "little people with little intelligence".

Do you not know that little people with little intelligence are the salt of the earth?

Why don't you just send him a Giro in the post. That would obviate the possibilty of his ever appearing in your office again.

Well - cricket's all over! Poms crimbled again!

Now what do we do? No more Pom baiting!

And - the yanks don't play cricket - or any other international game - so we can't bait them.
