its not just the air hostess.....its about all the other staff....
and I bet it was Jeeves job to ensure the right food was served.....
but jeeves left ......so there you go....

16 members of his personal staff have left so far,,,an average of one a month...that made the news last week...apparently he acts like a bully when the camera's are off
lost 40% of his staff by Dec 08
65 departures out of 270 staff....gilliard is worse..her staff turnover is 50%

and this last Sat......
His staff turnover is about to reach 16, or one a month since winning office, with the latest casualty being $78,000-a-year ex-butler John Fisher, dubbed "Jeeves" by the Opposition, The Daily Telegraph reports.

"Jeeves" will join a range of advisers, secretaries and assistants to leave the turbulent PM's office.

Sir O,
apparently the laborites were being taught how to laugh..or be happy or something just as silly...
maybe they should be taught manners, and protocol, and decorum, and take anger managment classes too...

like the nouveau rich....it can go to their heads and they pretend to act like they 'think' the others do...
to watch them in parliament..and then on the news its like watching a 'jekkyl and hyde' makeover...for the 5 main players

When I was young and dumb, once in the presence of my old man I let my temper get the best of me to someone who was seving a meal. He pulled me aside and said "If you want to tell the quality of a person, don't look at how they treat their superiors of their equals, look how they treat their subordinates." He then soundly chastised me for my behaviour, using words like treating others as you expect to be treated, made me apologise and pay a generous tip.

I can honestly say I've never lost my temper at a subordinate (male or female) ever again.

Yes we don't know what was said, yes we don't know if the FA has the emotional fortitude of an eggshell, but his record shows poor form and a remarkable lack of maturity for a man his age to behave in such a way.

Perhaps Kevin lacked a strong male role model eh?

Cheers

Sir O

In what is supposed to be a classless society, it never ceases to amaze me when i see/hear people talking about "superiors", "equals" and "subordinants". Some people still walk arround with their heads in the clouds believing their inherited wealth makes them part of some "ruling class" that are better than the masses. You treat others as you would have others treat yourself.
