Hasn't Dundee had a few recently? And Glasgow.Jock42 wrote: Tue Nov 07, 2023 10:16 am It wasn't just Edinburgh there were clashes in Dundee with SFRS also targeted by the wee cunts.
There were plans for riots on Halloween that didnt come to much (the first anniversary of the death of an upstanding drug dealing member of society that sparked the riots last year) and the weekend before with a few scuffles. Fri and Sat passed without incident.
Any fat tourist…..
I laughed
Is that what they're generally like or does that one have a cold?
?
We had several of them at my previous work place (a non-profit). In principle not a terrible idea, but it seemed that those who became the MFAs where I worked were those you'd least like to talk to about anything so personal and it mainly seems another box C-suite types can tick off to say they're trying to create a good culture in the workplace without actually having to do anything substantive to improve the lives of employees.

Most of their role is about 'sign-posting to support', they're certainly not meant to be a therapist or medication substitute, but if someone is in the midst of an anxiety attack the MFAs should be sufficiently trained to help manage the sufferer through it. Or if someone with depression is feeling particularly low that day and MFA is someone they can state that to, so that they don't have to bottle it up and stew on it.Sandstorm wrote: Fri Nov 17, 2023 3:03 pmFirst Aid for long-term mental issues seems an oxymoron to me.

A client had it in his signature today. Never heard of such a thing before. I checked and it's real.

Macallan gave the 40 bottles to valued clients.
Every time one comes for sale, it sets a new record for the highest price paid for a single bottle of wine or spirit.
One had just been sold at auction for £2.1 million.

The days of a barrel of whisky being a good investment are long gone. As is en primeur wine.Uncle fester wrote: Mon Nov 20, 2023 12:02 am Spirits as "investment" is a dumb dumb idea. At least wine will continue to age.

This is so much worth read. Next time you think with your cock, think of this man. Bonkers.

Again, all in theory. How comfortable anyone would feel doing the latter in the work place to someone who may functionally be a stranger or at best a colleague you're friendly towards yet not friends with.
Sorry to hear that, Sal. You got anyone irl you can talk to (excluding the MHFAs of course)?salanya wrote: Tue Nov 21, 2023 9:45 amWe've got Mental Health FAs at my work.
