Well, nobody has posted on this thread for a while so I'm very pleased everyone are happy little vegemites with no problems. If only yhe world's problems could be solved in such a short time.

I was nearly going to post a problem... Then I thought better of it.

Oh Sod it....im posting it. Its late..im bored..ill deal with the repercussions later.

-------------------------

Oh oh..sorry to burst your happy bubble sibey, but ive only just gotten around to this thread...

Im not sure who to turn to about this..as I worry about getting a sympathetic response from mainly male members (Oh my).

The big steel toe capped boots I brought over from the UK are now busted and wrecked..does anyone know what I can do about that?

I also need some heavy duty razors for my excessive hairiness.

I also cant seem to find replacement excessively oversized knickers in a pretty style.

Im really quite concerned that western men will lose interest in me if I cannot sort this dilemma out.

Forget that one. I have a bigger problem.

Does my bum look big in this?

I would say there is nothing wrong with having a nice bum.

Nice bum!

Dear Sibey,

Let me first thank you for offering your considerate thoughts and advice given on every days problems that are very much taboo.

I have been struggling for many years (and still do) with something that most people find repulsing.

I have great difficulties in life due to my apparent not normal behaviour as so many people tell me.

I feel a bit like that proverbial "Black Sheep" and I am not sure how to deal with this.

Why is it that when I catch someone (during MT meeting for example) stating something is right while in fact it is wrong and a blatant lie, I always get those nasty looks (from higher management) when I expose the lie and present the truth, leaving the orator speechless and turn pale.

My previous manager (a corporate psychopath) even told me that I am a very difficult to manage employee.

I am very confused about all of this as it seems that people that show their moronic incompetence always end up getting the higher paid jobs.

Attached I have a letter from one of my teachers that send his warning to my mother a long time ago while I was still attending school so you have a bit of an idea about my character.

(sorry tried to upload the file but for some reason I am not allowed)

So my question basically is: What I have to do, join the filthy liars or keep on fighting them?

I am looking forward to your thoughts and advice as I can see from your previous advice given to Bedlam members you must have some great spiritual strength and incredible experience in life.

I say, nice bum, too!

Dear eek,

Looks fine to me. Others may care to adjust their screen resolution.

Do you have the same in black ? (it's always so slimming).

Sibey.

PS. is anyone else having visions of spank paddles ?

Dear AlexLah,

Your story has touched me deeply and parallels some of my own experiences in the corporate world which explains the rather long reply for which I apologise.

It seems that people quickly rise through the management ranks according to their level of incompetence. If this didn't happen serious damage to the organisation could result if such people were left in positions of responsibility. After all, people's lives and families could be affected. In the company I worked at for many years, which shall remain nameless, it was often said that Idiots Become Managers and, with so many wanke_rs in management, why management didn't know that Intercourse Beats Masturbation. However, trying to point this out just fell on deaf ears. To this day not one manager has been held responsible for continuing to make Itsy Bitsy Machines, almost bankrupting the company in the process, while ignoring a bunch of college dropouts developing a 50 billion dollar business right under their noses. I've since learned that the same approach to management is also widely practiced in small businesses as well.

With so many of these managers being university educated with MBAs and whatever I've concluded that this incompetence must be learned behaviour. Looking at a typical MBA with subjects such as "Illogical Logic", "Ignoring The Obvious", "Lying For Personal Gain", "Denying Responsibility", "Finding a Scapegoat", "Brown Nosing The Boss" and "Perks For Profit" it's no wonder graduates turn out like they do.

As we can see through the current financial turmoil this learned behaviour is widespread. Women are also proving themselves equally incompetent as men. But competition in the management world is tough. To get to the top job it is necessary to prove your incompetence beyond that of your peers. Therefore, those aspiring to promotion devise elaborate schemes to prove their incompetence beyond others and attract the attention of those more senior in the hope of finding favour and recognition. This competitiveness ensures that over time greater and greater incompetence occurs throughout organisations as the competition for management positions intensifies. It's a self perpetuating phenomenon.

But what to do in your situation ? In my situation managers became so annoyed at my behaviour that they decided to fly me around the world for 6 years so I wouldn't be around to attend meetings. It worked for a while until a few of the managers learned how to use a computer and read e-mail. With the spread of the internet it became harder and harder to find countries with no internet to send me to so eventually I was brought back and locked in a closet until I accepted a separation package.

You could just stop going to meetings. If anyone asks your boss where you are your boss will make up some story to cover for the fact that he/she doesn't know or care. Probably won't even notice you're not there. Another good ploy is to request everything from managers in writing. They hate this. Not because it's a permanent record of their incompetence (it's a source of pride), but most have trouble putting a few words together and those that can worry this might demonstrate some degree of competence and affect their prospects for promotion.

You should only consider joining "the filthy liars" if you believe you can be just as big a liar as them, or better. There's no point in joining the management ranks only to remain on the first rung. You have to be confident of your incompetence and ability to lie and not be afraid to shake the ladder so those above you fall off. If this all sounds a bit mercenary, out of character and insulting to your intelligence for you then I'm afraid you're just not management material. I'd keep fighting them if I was you, if only for the amusement value. Work is supposed to be fun, right ? When they get sick of you they'll offer you loads of money to go somewhere else.

A handful of truly incompetent people achieve all that is possible in the business world and reach the stratosphere of incompetence. These select few enter politics.

Sibey.

Now I'm not going to be the first and only one to say something unflattering about your backside, eek. But I must say that it proves the convenience of a widescreen monitor...

Dear Sibey

My boyfriend wants to know why farting in the bath smells so much worse than a dutch oven?

Not just in the bath - I was having a shower this morning, just soaped up nicely and let one rip. Absolutely discusting. I put it down to the Lifebouy.

Aff..its not my bum!

.............nvm.

Aff..its not my bum!

Shame

It could be - if you wolfed down a couple of those super-Macs.

Does my bum look big in this?

not really. but if you want the professional assessment of a well known klingon bum connoisseur please drop the jeans and repost the picture.

Dear Eek,

I am totally devastated now you have revealed that the picture you posted is not your bum.

I fully understand that most likely you would like to have a bum like that therefore it is essential that you post a picture of your own bum.

Don't worry if it doesn't look as perfect as in that picture, we can give advice on how to get such fine looking bum.

Picture of your bum while dressed in thong or some fine lingerie would be preferred.

Please........

Ps, Thanks Sibey for your well thought out reply to my question, I am working on a decent reply.

Dear Admin, why can I not add pictures here?

I get the following message when trying: Upload failed. Please ask the administrator to check the settings and permissions

Dear AlexLah,

Me too.

Shame really, for I had the pictures you and Naam requested all ready for posting.

Oh well, another time.

YAAAAAWWWWNNNNN...

^Translation from Klingon to English:

'YAAAWWWWWWWNNNN' is from the lesser known lower-Klingon dialect of the Schlongtuggas region (famous for bringing the joys of Blutwein to the Klingon masses). It means, 'I'd rather see her bum without the thong or lingerie, thanks'.

you are a diplomat Ping. an appropriate and fitting translation would be... "you are one big bore AlexLah. Eek should post a picture of her NEKKID bum! no ifs, no thongs, no buts but BUTT!

educational note for our american friends. the european "lingerie" means in american "lawngeray"

Nice bit of work Alex.

(Evidently you have plenty of time up at least one of your sleeves.)

good work Alex!

Hmm...seems this thread has become the "eek adoration society".

Mods, maybe the thread title should be changed.

But it did take 4 pages to go off topic. Might be a record for Bedlam.

Sorry.......

Im saying nothing.

Im saying nothing.

A picture says a thousand words......or in your case.......

Im saying nothing.

just show. no need to talk

Just uncover da bum and parade around in the room here, no need for words, a blink of the eye says enough.........

Dear Agony Aunt Sibey,

I am suffering from a problem of dislocation - I contribute to several web-sites and after an interesting topic is started I enjoy several minutes of pleasure reviewing the contributions/

Then someone or other seems to hijack the thread and destroy the interest.

I do not wih to put my soul in jeopardy by becoming a moderator, so have you any suggestions as to how else such threads could be brought back to the earlier content.

Yours,

A Wellwisher

Dear Wellwisher,

most posters on internet forums (Bedlam excepted) have an attention span shorter than the time it takes for a bug's arse to overtake it's brain after hitting the windscreen of a car.

As for a remedy, I fear none is readily at hand.

Enjoy the few minutes of focused discussion and move on. From time to time you'll enjoy a thread that remains on topic long enough for you to make a second post.

Sibey.
