One thing that's come out is that he's a sex addict and a serial cheater. How can any woman ever trust him? How can any relative or friend trust him with their partners or wives?

Women of the same ilk would not care.

There are always people who believe that other people can change, and that they can help that happen. Especially if that person is rich, famous (infamous) and handsome.

Respect to his Brother who you'd expect to be bitter! Comes across as a nice guy.

I had that. Total bollocks, how can you have too much experience?

They mean that they don't want to pay a reasonable wage so they hope some no-mark will accept peanuts.

That was it!

Culture fit is another one.

I've turned people down who were too experienced before. The issue had nothing to do with salary as we advertised that in advance and my assumption was that they wouldn't have applied if that was an issue for them.

The reason I took someone with less experience was because I was concerned the more experienced person would get bored and move on too quickly and I'd end up recruiting again in the near future. I wanted someone that would grow into the role and be stretched by it.

Or you don't meet their 'diversity criteria' - not that they could possibly admit to that of course......ffs

Tripped over the cat and trod on a plug. Great start to the day.

And if we win later, you do know you'll have to repeat this each match day ?

You have to be able to film a video of Southend's games?

Yes. There's another one they use nowadays, you're over qualified. It happened to a relation of mine.

Dear oh dear(Can I say that?). Britain has gone nuts. So after a little nudge from the government, cricket has now followed the same route as British Airways, Theatres and train operators in that some phrases are not to be used, like Ladies and Gentlemen. They must replace Ladies and Gentlemen with ''Hi everyone''. Husband and wife is to be replaced by partner, and the weirdest one, you can't say you're young at heart when praising maybe an older person, as it's now replaced by energetic. Absolute bonkers, as not many were offended, but a higher percentage will be offended by things we are now not allowed to say. I knew it was going nuts when a cheery train conductor on LNER welcomed passengers with ''Good afternoon Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls. LNER came out and apologised. Give me a break. Now they are getting away with it, more everyday phrases will be changed in case they cause offence. Anyway Ladies and Gentlemen, that's all for now. Oops.

We're getting old. My Scottish wife was back in Scotland this summer and said she felt like an alien.

Have you also noticed that one of the fielding positions has been renamed on the quiet? It's no-longer "third man", it's just "third".
