My bus is parked inside the garage at the moment mate. Let’s wait until the end, see where we are at. Great so far though with NDombele
But can’t believe your old work colleague

I had to fire one person for downloading p 0rn. And one for downloading a film. I work for a massive media company. At what point did they think they weren't going to get caught by our IT dept.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
where did he think he was gonna find the time to watch them
There's a guy in my office constantly just on youtube watching boxing videos, Kickboxer (the movie)
the director is aware of this, and after many idle threats, the guy is still here....
Use to have a colleague, many moons ago, who was always never going to last long - fairly useless at the job - but he was regularly caught in the open plan office watching p0. rn. Bloody weird for me, I mean, time and a place doesn't quite cover it. Most annoying thing was he was paid more than most as he "moved around a lot", can't imagine why.

I worked shift work years ago and did a week of nights a month, 10.30PM to 8am for 7 days then a week off after.
There were 4 of us on the shift team, one of the lads was mental, he used to come into the office, let the other person leave, divert the phone then head off to the pub, then night club, then casino at least 4 nights a week.
Would come back to the office locked, sleep till 7am then go home at 8am in a paid taxi. He did this for years!
Also one time he came in absolutley hammered for a night shift, I was waiting on him to let me leave. One of the managers was coming in the following moring, a Saturday, to let him leave, she rang into him to ask he book her a taxi on the company account to pick her up in the morning. When she came in the next day th elad had slept and sobered up, he asks, as small talk "How did you get in this morning" she replies "you booked me a taxi last night"
He got away with this stuff for years, and left the company of his own accord.

The JA606 pages are the same colours as our office work chat messaging service - so I can type and read away
I simply cut a moustache out of a post-it note. Genius.

Dont really care, or a quick switch to a new document if need be.
Years ago was working as a stock controller in a warehouse. One of the lads there mentioned his dad's place of work had gone bust and he could get hold of couple of manual pump trucks for free.
The bosses said 'yep, we'll have them.' So he brought them in. They were a bit battered, but perfectly usable.
After a couple of weeks he went on the sick, claiming his back had been injured using one of the pump trucks he'd brought in.
He sued the company, and while the case was ongoing came into the office for about 4 months on 'light duties', basically sat around on his fat *rse shuffling papers.
He won the case and got a payout, on the basis no-one actually did an initial safety check to see if the trucks were fit for purpose being 2nd hand.

fack me, stitched up good and proper
to be fair, I'd probably try aim for a big pay out if the opportunity presented itself
I had to fire a lad off nights for watching p0rnatwork as well. Most people have phones so don’t get why you’d use the office computers. Even so has no one heard of private browsing?
the constant morespurs conveyor belt of articles over and over again is pushing me to dust off Dons bus and kickstart that mother up
=======================
Haven't even finished yet
World Cup 2014, England v Costa Rica (I think it was this game), hot summer day. The company smashed its Q1 and Q2 target, and a week or so before the game, a new bird had started, right fat old lump she was, and you could tell she was completely nuts even when sober.
The MD put the whole firm on a half day and we went to the pub to watch the game, all drinks on the company. This bird got drunk early doors, and got worse and worse as the day went on, at a faster rate than any of us.
After about 3/4 hours she aggressively pursuing one of the boys - grabbing his tie and pulling him towards her, grabbing his old boy, kissing his neck etc, right in front of everyone without a care in the world.
Initially, the bloke resisted but as time went on and the beers continued to flow, he eventually grabbed her hand, walked to the toilets with her in front of the whole company and she sucked him off. She came out with him about ten minutes later like nothing had happened, whilst the bloke went and told all the boys as you do. It was only about 7.30pm at this point.
Then an hour later another colleague says "I bet she'll do it to me as well if I ask. So he did, and she obliged. Again walking out after without a care in the world and socialising like nobody knew what had just happened.
At this point I had left to go home, I go into work the next day and it turns out she went in there with a third colleague!! But this time went a step further and banged him , and they both got caught and kicked out of the bar.
She called in sick for the next few days at work, then I kid you not two weeks later a lot of us went for beers after work on a Friday, and she introduced us to her boyfriend.
A complete fruitcake.

Same, one screen is less visible. Also it almost looks like work when people don't use loads of smileys and the adverts fack off
On my last job there was once when I turned up 5 minutes late.
I walked in expecting someone to say something but no one did. I felt like the king of the world. Was strutting round for the rest of the day absolutely loving it.
Crazy times man.

Winston, you're really James Milner aren't you?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
In all seriousness, there's one story that stands out for me.
My old company went global in about 24 months. It was crazy and they eventually went bust, but for a while they were rolling in money and just decided to go out and do business anyway they could. They went into South Africa but started doing campaigns in Namibia as well.
A local business partner was invited over and the MD's PA was hot on community projects, so she set up for this kid - maybe 18 - to come over with him and promote their charity projects etc. It was supposed to smooth over the client relationship as well.
Anyway, loads of people went out for beers and the bloke and kid went as well. Everyone getting on fine. After a couple of hours, my mate who was there started to smell sheite. He thought it was on the floor or something but it kept following them wherever they went. In the end he asked the kid if he knew what the smell was.
Kid says to him that he went to the toilet but they didn't have any toilet roll so he used his pants. Mate says fair enough. So why the smell? Kid pulls out his sheite stained pants from his pocket.
I haven't done this story justice, funnier with the long version, but was facking hilarious when my mate told me.
