  7. Di and Lisa will be thrilled with this new work initiative to be implemented immediately. The only amendment will be the concept of lunch "hour". 10 minutes vigorous exercise is all that is required. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lima in the first half of the 20th century was a city of lunch pails, factory whistles, hard work, hard workers, and, of course, lunch-hour folk dancing. “Noon hour at Lima’s factories and industrial plants is beginning to be something more than a time to eat as far as the girl employees are concerned,” the Lima News reported in September 1925. “Bosses and foremen were surprised to find their sedate and dignified help frolicking in a most unusual manner.” The “frolicking,” the News explained, was folk dancing the women learned at the Lima YWCA “as a means of entertainment and exercise for factory girls who get little or no exercise in their work as cigar workers …” https://www.limaohio.com/top-stories/2024/03/26/reminisce-women-were-the-main-workers-in-limas-cigar-industry/?__cf_chl_tk=qp.UwejN5v31UHnnE_ORy9wKdaoSBYP5XNJ3Xv9omNw-1711568367-0.0.1.1-1791
  8. This is why Tik Tok is so good. These malcontents would be tracked, corralled, arrested, jailed and re-educated to do something useful like making shooaways.
  9. Cutting staff, cutting training. Cutting safety regulations. Cutting hours, cutting pay. = Corporate greed In this backwater you need to take a course to use a ladder on any commercial site. It if it is 29 degrees and 75% humidity?.......under union (CFMEU rules), site closes down. I can post 50 more "safety" idiocies. so let's remove: Cutting safety regulations Cutting staff, Cutting Hours?/Cutting Pay? 4.5% average wage increase last year in Pay. 10.1% in construction industry. 6.1% increase in paid hours worked over the year. https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/labour/earnings-and-working-conditions/employee-earnings-and-hours-australia/may-2023 Productivity? -3.9% I know who is taking who for a ride in this country.
  10. It has been a long time since I have been to San Antonio but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty going on. Riverwalk is great for a drink (if not the greatest of food). Backstreet BBQ is superb. Others will chime in. Enjoy!
  11. What a great FOH zoom session yesterday. Thank you for your company gents It is fair to say that Retsina is much maligned as a cheap and cheerful Greek white wine often found Greek festivals and at the bottom of the wine list at Greek restaurants. It turns out that Charles (Chas Alpha) is a fan as is Mike (BigGuns) which is all fair and dandy as I love vegemite. The question did come up however: Is there very good Retsina? Is there top end collectable Retsina? If there is top end Retsina, what are it's characteristics? Over to the wine connoisseurs of FOH
