Bloody 'eck, I'm starting an immediate lawsuit against myself ...Originally posted by Bumfluff View PostOn my first day on a permy job I called the Head Of Archectiture Ali and did so for the next week till someone corrected me, this was his surname his first name was J**v*d. He then went on to claim race discrimination and got 100's of k's to keep it out of papers based on the fact someone called him an IT 'guru', guru being the oh so offensive term.Hard Brexit now!
