[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Unrelated but related. I was reading yesterday how Human Resources (HR) now run companies with respect to their outward facing public perception. HR used to hire and fire, and make sure people got paid. They now hold meetings with bosses and run courses for employees, educating them in such things as transphobia, racism, sexism, etc, etc. They are not interested in productivity or the bottom line. You know, the stuff that keeps companies working.
Their ranks have risen by thousands since the pandemic, 80% of them are female graduates and they perpetuate their own power because they, of course, are the people who hire their own employees.

There was a bright young chap in the article I read who sacked his whole HR department, and most of the company's problems disappeared with them.

The very same breed who run HR are running universities, government departments, etc. We need to challenge them, but I fear it may be too late.

Just been reading that the National Television Awards have selected an all female shortlist for the drama award. Are all our male actors suddenly shit this year. Box ticking at it's finest.
Though just trawling through the lists of all the categories, its mostly all rubbish mainstream t/v anyway. Glad i watch YouTube or Netflix.

Do some of them have meat and two veg.

We need to be inclusive of all women.

Dolly Parton 80 years old

Goodbye Dolly.

[Varche]

She was unique. DEP

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Her ditzy image masked the fact the she really was an excellent songwriter.
R.I.P. Dolly.

[Dave_G]

Liked her a lot.
Always remember her saying ‘It costs a lot of money to look this cheap’.

A good lass.

Rest in peace, Dolly……will be sadly missed. Islands in the stream, one of my all time favorites.

So much could be said of her. Hugely talented singer(she put on great concerts)and song writer. I still maintain her version of "I will always love you" which she also wrote was far better than Whitney Hustons version. Never afraid to have a laugh at her own expense and gave away millions to charitable causes. Will be greatly missed.

Agreed.
But she said that she liked Whitney's version too ..... because she got the royalties off it!

As Chancellor Ken Clarke made a humourous observation regarding how the Labour party ran the economy.

He said they used the 'Dolly Parton school of economics'........a fantastic figure with no visable means of support. 

RIP Dolly.

The exact quote will be somewhere.
