This is why:


''Just over a month ago, an excellent teacher who had completed a 2 year contract was denied his performance related bonus (which is written into the contract). All the teachers protested and two refused to teach until they were allowed to speak to the elusive General Manager, Abdul Kadir. They were both fired and given 4 hours to move out of their school-owned apartment.''

What was the reason? You said on another thread that you told porkies on this forum. Why would my friend be given everything, yet the person you claim to know didn't. It doesn't make sense.

Hitch hike Jack wrote that not me. You read the OP didn`t you?

As for porkies I never said I told porkies. All I said was that like Faustino, Scarred 2 etc. the reason behind using a handle or moniker is that you don`t want your boss and others finding out who you are and compromising your job or a future job. Sometimes that may require substituting Spain for Italy or Bakirkoy for Kadikoy.

One is haram in Islam (hence no porkie sandwiches around here) and the other is rather Nordic, mutfak'ly speaking, innit?

A porky is a lie but a red herring is something that takes your attention away from the central issue which is who is 31.

You took that out of context. I meant the central issue in throwing in a red herring, to disguise your idenity.
