		<description>Au contraire Stevo it is you who works in a pub. And I am not going to debate the issue of sick leave, especially with a right winger like you.I am just giving your opinion on the matter the contempt it deserves.Of course you are entitled to an opinion,however one the draw backs of a democracy is, even toady&#039;s have to have their say.</description>

		<description>Hehe Gaz, just as well there isn&#039;t a breathalyser on your keyboard.

Talking of pissing onto yourself is a novel, but ineffective, way of countering a point.

You got nothin&#039;, except at this time of night a high blood alcohol reading.</description>

		<description>Is that pile of foul language, personal attack &amp; talk of urinating onto yourself your way of refuting my point on &quot;why should no work attract pay?&quot;

		<description>&quot;And why should anybody get â??sick payâ??? Being paid to not work, hmmm.&quot;

Hmmmm I see one of the &quot;Captains of Industry&quot; stap is peddling the ol virtues of the &quot;Laissez_Faire&quot; of the capitalist world. You know Steve your postings have convinced me you were born in the wrong century. I see you as a mill manager in one of the cotton mills of Manchester in about 1870 or a leader of a press gang..Your a real Charles Dickens talking point. But you aint no apologist for Howard or his ilk are you Stevo?I near on piss my self with laughter when you go into your prove it routines  tsk tsk.

Still your point does have some merits.You could improve productivity by(oh by the way steve in your industry does improved productivity mean pushing that last pint down some patron at the bar?)you could dock your workers wages for taking a piss or shit, what about saying good morning that should take all of five seconds a veritable shit load of savings there.Have you thought about keeping a stethoscope behind the bar? you could check that your employees are actually alive.

You really don&#039;t get it do you Stevo? Your hero John Howard, if there is indeed a God, will get the sack for his attitude towards workers, and like you, his real thoughts and intentions are as clear as an expensive piece of crystal.</description>

		<description>Helen, concerning &lt;a href=&quot;http://larvatusprodeo.net/2007/08/02/soldier-on-with-casuals-soldier-on/#comment-389556&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;your comment&lt;/a&gt; in truth the old doctor may have thought there were particular circumstances.

In 1999 my wife and I and our young son went for the only ski holiday I&#039;ve had in my life. The other two had been quite ill with the flu for a while and went to see the doc about a week before we were to leave. He prescribed antibiotics, they immediately recovered and had a great holiday in the snow.

I came down with the flu while we were driving down. The young doctor there told me just to stay inside the ski lodge and rest. Which I did.

All that doesn&#039;t prove very much, but I hope the four who didn&#039;t make it in Perth were not subject to the usual doctor&#039;s reflex reaction and didn&#039;t perhaps get the best chance.</description>

		<description>In my discipline, at Griffith we always paid extra for marking (ie the tutoring rate was seen purely as covering prep and delivery of tutes).   I remember QUT did not - ie they took the hourly tutoring rate as including an hour of marking.

It&#039;s scary to think UQ is taking the QUT road.  And that such basic entitlements/expectations would be up to institutional interpretation, rather than a set rule.</description>

		<description>Dave Bath, what an untapped method of lifting the readership.  Which words should we use?

&lt;blockquote&gt;Praise be to Allah, there is a bomb planted in the parliament of the Infidels!

After the hijacking the unwashed sons of crusaders will take more notice of the brotherhood.

Brother Achmed, your part in the plot is as yet undiscoverd by the dull witted pork eating police.  You must immediately flee the country, spin some yarn about having sired a daughter and flee tonight.  You must book a ticket on the first available Jetstar, do not be tempted to hijack it and fly it into the heart of the infidel financial district, thus destroying the temple of the usurious Macquarie Bank and striking a blow on behalf of all true believers.

By the beard of the prophet, many of the uncovered whores shall be slaughtered and drown in their own blood in the very dens on iniquity where they consume alcohol and offer their flesh in a wanton manner.  The wrath of god shall cause these sluts to suffer for their abhorrent crimes against humanity.

The infidels gather on the beaches and shout slogans at us, brothers, gather at the mosque, bring your unlicenced and illegal glock pistol and let us go forth in convoys of Nissan Skylines intimidate the infidels on their own streets.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;ll work on a bit more overnight.</description>
