The fly agarric or whatever don't you leave em till they fully spread out flap top?

If you wanted to take a spore print you'd pick the top off mid open, after the ring has formed.

If you wanted to just eat it then a shroom about that same stage as the photo but picked early to mid August would be perfect.

Not that it's advisable to be eating fresh Fly Agaric.

ooh the arrogance of these cunts with their threats, so easy to stitch up people like that these days fuk goin to court silly tosser

And good ol conservatives looking after their own decided that it was too easy for employees to take their boss to a tribunal so now you have to pay in advance for a tribunal. Bloody criminal. But hey, he's a fat fuck with serious health issues related to his weight (austin powers fat bastard would actually be a figure for him to aspire to be!) and he'll probably end up dead within the next few years, so fuck him. His million of pounds won't stop that

This is quite cool, but the film makers comment at the very end had me chuckling. He compares a rock that they've driven down a road on a lorry and put in place with a crane, to stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt Americans

But on the flip side you are automatically entitled/covered by specific statute when it comes to "whistle blowing".

It would never get to court and you would never pay a penny.

Which statute is this? And has the recent statute with regard to fees overruled the prior statute?

.gov states that whistleblowing is a £250 claim fee or £950 hearing fee payable in advance.

Not to mention my case would not have been whistleblowing, as that just means the employer might have to change his ways, but not necessarily retroactively. Mine would be unpaid wages, relating specifically to me as opposed to the employers practices.

I used to work in kitchens and the only thing that got me through those never ending split shifts was the copious amounts if free booze I extracted from them. Self employed construction tradesman is the road I went down but the same problems are there if you get shafted when it comes to payment. You have to pay in advance to take someone to small claims court, they don't have to turn up and would quite likely get away with paying a pound a week for all eternity and then not even pay that. These days, I'm in management but for years I would insist on payment before I stepped off a site. That way if the money doesn't go in then I start taking the work down and neatly stacking it so I don't get done for breaking and entering and criminal damage. The first time I got screwed, got burnt in court. It happened again and I simply went in and put my hammer through every fucking wall until to old bill showed up.

Split shift. lol. Easiest things in the world. My days started at 9 or 10, and then ran straight through till midnight to 1am. Didn't have a KP so at the end of service all the chefs would then pile into the back room and wash up every single item by hand (dishwasher was fucked so couldn't be used for a wash cycle, just a rinse cycle). All day every day. I could do it without too much of an issue, but it did involve copious amounts of cocacola. Like a pint an hour from the moment you get through the door in the morning. (I don't touch coffee)

I did a season in the mountains in France, I was
sous chef and had 4 kp's in what was an 8 strong team in Merribel. We had about 200 people to cater for at each service in this hotel, breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. No plunge machine, no potato rumbler and the biggest fucking pile of dishes any of us had seen. We didn't finish cleaning down until 2:00 in the morning frequently. Was supposed to be a working snowboard holiday, didn't see much powder. Jacked two months before the season was up and never worked in a kitchen again.

Since when does decent use of the English language mean I'm a fuckin pig? You've got some major hard on for rattling my cage man. Should I dumb down the grammar for you a little? To be honest, I reckon you argue with yourself if left alone too long.

Yup, I'm growing quite fond of these little exchanges.

We actually had a rumbler, but for some reason it was just sat in storage upstairs next to the freezer. We just peeled everything by hand. While the situation sucked, I am thankful for it. Having done that job for a year, I feel i can do about anything that gets thrown my way
