Off the subject of sport, I find it difficult to understand economic principals relating to foreign debt.

If Soccer didn't have the offside rule it'd be a shambles. Just put a couple of blokes on the goal line...
I rate the offside rule, but I don't rate when they don't pick it up....

Since when do they have a pass backward rule in basketball ? Or do you mean once past the half way line you aren't allowed to go back into your defensive half ?

Correct, it's called a "pass back" if you take it back over the centre line when you have taken it forward into your own offensive half.

Thought it was called Back Court violation, but anyhow.....They need to introduce that rule in the AFL too.....

Why is it that some Government jobs that are not going to get filled by a new employee advertised ?
In the past couple of months, I've been to 3 interviews only to find out that the positions were taken internally and "already filled" .
Please spare me the hours and stress of completing the job and person specification profiles and travel expenses and just send me a letter saying I was not successful.
It's not only the expenses but the raising of peoples/families hopes and constant rejections that get people down.
It depends in the agreement with the unions. Some jobs need to be filled and will be done so internally but they will advertise because that is the requirement in the agreement. Weird I know but that is how some of it is done. Yes it does suck alot when this happens but that is how some places go about things.

The bureaucracy is required to pretend they are seeking the best person for the job, despite the fact that they know they are going to appoint someone with the "right" political attitude, or for some other reason of expedience.smithy wrote:I'll start off with a serious one.

That's how in the 1980s a guy affiliated with the Victorian ALP who was sacked from a job in public housing in Victoria finished up as a Regional Manager in WorkCover SA.
He was later tried and gaoled in Victoria for the frauds he had committed over there.
The female WorkCover SA employees he had sexually harassed while here were glad to see him gone.
[ I can't say anything more specific, but I was involved in dealing with the WorkCover issues.]
