Work is rubbish

Lets stage a revolution.

I demand a 3 day week and an extension of the Christmas holiday, down with all capitalist pigs and their airy fairy wage structures.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION !!!!!

I can see that someone won't last for long come the Age Of Change...
Can I head the KGB equivalent that we'll obviously have to have? I've got the right username for it and everything...

Re: Work is rubbish

You sound like all the unions in the US that the big companies are trying to phase out. Heck, all the television writers have been on strike for almost 2 months.

All part of the plan, tovaritch. By eradicating TV, people might read books or something.
By books, I mean The Little Red Book Of Boris.

You guys get coffee breaks? Dear God I need to never leave Switzerland. In Chicago I worked 12 hour shifts standing and running around all day and barely ever even got a moment to grab a bite to eat. I never got a lunch hour. And it's 100% legal. I really do need a new profession.

Fight the power...understand comrade that the big companies are there to milk you of your labour..join the peoples party and fight the fascist oppressors

I'd agree with the writers strike, except its totally screwed up Heroes season 2...insensitive swine's.

that is already set aside for burning subversive books & chanting the Ef mantra ... "oh come all ye faithful !!"

Apparently Lob has a pulpit, so we won't need to dig into funds

I could be persuaded, but it would have to be the full fat version.
