I bet it was a fight over the subject of football or something similar. No foreman gets eggy over anything else before 23:00pm on a Friday.

It was actually about talking work at lunchtime . The subbie was chatting to my boss about work and the foreman started shouting at them, I still didn't click that he was losing it... but then the subbie laughed at him and made some joke so the foreman threw his chair back at him and grabbed him and threw him against a door and that's how it started. :rolleyes: Men!

Well the director is here.. who's a bit of a tough fucker too... but I wouldn't like that job.

It was actually my boss and another subbie had to seperate them and they're both tiny compared to the other guys so I've a new found respect for them for jumping in there I wouldn't have gone in there.

The psycho just came into my office and acted like nothing happened :eek: and then asked me was I in the room??? :eek:

Work is taking up way too much of your time... Missouri.. for a whole month... sounds boring.. A week off soon... you'll be able to catch up!

urgh, I DO have to give a statement but he wants me to just write it myself... where the fuck do I start? And what details am I supposed to give? I thought he'd ask questions and I could just give yes/no answers :mad:

that's funny... neither do we although the subbie WAS wearing one cos he just came in to talk work.

Lol, Rita, will do 'I saw the flying kettle and thought I was going to die so I lay on the floor and waited for the aliens to get me'... I don't think they'll be calling me to court

If you need help with how to begin the statement then perhaps I can be of assistance:

"Today at precisely [.....] I was [sitting in the far right corner of the canteen, next to the table with the kettles on it]. I had just spooned a mouthful of my Chicken and Mushroom pot noodle into my mouth, and was in the midst of fantasising about mistakenly wandering into the Irish mens Rugby Team dressing room when all of a sudden....'
