Take a bow!
 
Err...posting guideline No.53 -

"In all cases, use of appropriate smiley shall insulate any poster from apparent contradictions in relation to any prior committment or undertaking" ?

Maybe?

:eek:
 
caveat, i loved your version - just in case you decide to sing it during the next PS strike in front of leinster house, i suggest you get a red carpet and a biofuel limousine hired for you and i even pay for it from my taxes :D
 
Caveat, you have to distribute that to the carol singers on Grafton Street. Brilliant!!
 
My opinion of this thread seems to differ from many on here, particularly those contributing to its jocularity.
Given that something like a million people, public servants and their families, are currently on tenter-hooks waiting to hear by how much their family income is to be cut, at the mouth of Christmas, I would suggest that this thread is insensitive at best.

Whatever the rights or wrongs of it, PS "families" face a second pay cut in nine months. Did you have a clever rhyme for the Dell employees, or any other groups who faced a pay cut.

Shame on you.

What about the 420,000 people on the dole and their families....I suppose the PS employees are ful of sympathy for them.......
 
Yes we are actually. Have we ever said we're not??
And we certainly don't go around making up 'funny' songs about them.

Whether they have sympathy or not is irrelevant to my point. Public sector Vs Private sector is discussed in many threads all over this forum, and is not my point. My point is about manners and respect.
I have not previously seen any examples of people on AAM - nor quite frankly anywhere else - making jokes about the any group of people in such a situation.

How would you like it if people on here made jokes about you, if you or your loved ones faced a pay cut?
 
Neither Becky nor Shawady seem to mind - both public sector workers.

Liaconn (another PS worker) was happy to contribute - seemingly not upset - on page 1. Who has made fun of cuts in income? I haven't anyway. Lighten up.
 
There are more than enough threads to deal with the serious issues facing the public sector and the realities of the strikes and pay cuts!. This is a bit of fun, that's all, don't read too much into it - it's that silly time of year and people need a bit of a laugh, that's all there is to it!. This is the depths - for laughs and jokes.

Caveat........... brilliant!
 
Job security is priceless.

And so are Caveat's 12 days of Christmas PS Style! :)

Ask anyone in the private sector how much they would give up to know that their jobs were safe.
