Just for a giggle I've been for an interview with McDonald's (a.k.a. City Sprint).
I'm numb.
How anyone signs stuff like their "contracts" is beyond me.
How their "contracts" - not to mention other demands - are lawful is beyond me.
How anyone can work in the office for a bunch of - Ahem! - people like that ought to be beyond me. Sadly, in this society and this industry, it isn't.

p.s. - I won't be starting with them.

so where's spirogiro with a grainy still taken from the CCTV?

I think "utter shite" is what McDonald's talk.
Like when they tell you that they'll never have you back... then take you back again a few weeks later. Eh, Pikey?
I believe darts afic... er... affish... er fans have used your "witticism" to mock Ted "The Count" Hankey for a number of years, Shedhead.
Like all McDonald's employees at the moment, I think Spirogiro's praying to whichever farcical incarnation of the God of the Jews he worships. Praying that he's not the next parasite McDonald's lay off. Imagine, Spiro. Being back on the road. Having to do some work. Assuming McDonald's have any to give you. Nightmare.
How's that GMB case against the parasites progressing, by the way?

goodbye.

More bitter ranting from cyber-worlds greatest ever courier, I see.

I have the luxury of being able to choose my riders. Usually only upon recommendation, so although I note your interest, no chance there eh!

That GMB case is dead in the water. Shame really, I was looking forward to a day in court. Would've been like old times.

As for Pikey, for all his faults he can be, at least, somewhat charming & is a very capable rider. We felt he deserved a 2nd chance. You don't!

Finally, whilst I accept that redundancy is a possibility for anyone, I won't be losing any sleep or praying to any gods.
I work with the largest, busiest, most professional fleet in London. I have a good relationship with my employers as I do with my riders. This is based on mutual trust & respect, something you'd be unfamiliar with.

I note that you will not be posting anymore so I wish you good riddance xx

Just seen this. made me giggle.
I look at you saddos on here now and then. Never posted before tho.
Always find it strange you don't know who Basie is. I know who he is cos he worked for us up till a few weeks ago.
He did go to City Sprint for an interview. How do I know? Coz they rang us and asked for a referenece. Comical. Last bloke so up himself to ask us fro a reference was that cokehead moron yuppie David Paul. Hes now at XL. He'll get on well there.
Reference! In a game as bent as this. Wot a laugh.
As it happens we'd give him a genuine reference. One of the best cyclists we'vre had. Fast when needed. Hits improbable deadlines. Out there at 8. Does Mildmay Parks & Ossory Roads at 6.45. has done SE23s and Sw13s at 6.45 when most of the m/cs have gone home. In January. Strage bloke. Last time he was here the C1 controller was on notice. MD offered Basie the job. At least £100 take home more than he was on on the road. Basie laughed and told him to fuck off.
But we'd give him a ref. As for CS refs if we had Dennis Neilsen and Jeffrey Dahmer here and they'd left in a hurry, we'd give CS glowing refs if they rang to ask for them. We're a traditional company. Run by dodgy people. Not idiots in suits with second rate degrees from polys. We'd love to get some tossers on the CS fleet. If a punter had gone bust owing us dough we'd give them a ref too if CS asked. Evil aren't we?
I know Basie worked at OYB. Not sure of his claims to have been at W1 in Newman, SD and CS at Scrutton but I've no reason to doubt them. Bloke's probably worked for CS at least 4 times and they have to ask for a ref. Tragic.
How did they become the biggest company in London? You could write a book on it. Call it "Kingdom of the Blind". The title answers the question.
He doesn't know who Spirogiro is. I do. Try a few less drugs and have a few less moodswings Kev.
And give Mr. Bartram his job back. It was a good ten years ago. You'd have to be Sicilian to hold a grudge that long. Brian OKs him coming back & you throw a prissy fit and tell him to fuck off when he walks in.
Quiet today isn't it?

(lol), If you know me mug, it's been a while. I gave up recreational drugs years ago unless you include the odd glass of wine.

I'd rather pull my own teeth than employ R. Bartram again or indeed you, whatever you want to call yourself (unless your one and the same, which would make perfect sense).

Why would our fleet dept. ask another company for a rider reference? When I said recommendation I mean from my riders, people I know, respect and trust. What a cock!
