Quality of CIPD online discussions

Amanda Claire Baldwin

This is my first foray into the mist of CIPD online discussions and I have to admit to being a bit disappointed with the quality of some discussion for debate. 

Not to say that the items listed are not relevant but I think it would be better to have an 'advice section' for those individuals who have simple questions about practice to be answered? 

Then the space for discussions can be recogised and valued more as one where real debate will occur.

  • Headache Cure (Male Version):


    Tell Domestic Goddess (D-G) you have a headache: If no sympathy forthcoming immediately, struggle to feet offering to fix the creaking board in the bedroom floor she's been nagging about for six months. Struggle to shed with many gasps and groans of pain and suitable weaving to demonstrate blurred vision; fetch toolbox and various jars of nails etc.


    Stagger upstairs clinging to banisters with one hand and balancing tools etc unsteadily with the other. Enter bedroom (It is important at this stage to eschew all offers of help). Drag bedroom furniture around with adequate noise and further groans of pain. Draw back carpet exposing loose board.


    Take nail; hold to board. Take hammer; aim at nail. Miss, striking thumb.....


    At this point pain from headache will cease to be noticeable and, if you have carried out the rest of this procedure correctly, D-G will rapidly ascend stairs with load cries of sympathy and remorse at having forced you to fix board in your weakened state.


    Milk for rest of day while lying on sofa with hot tea (or something stronger) and further helpings of loving care and sympathy from D-G. Recover by bedtime. (It is most inadvisable for males to mention having a headache at bedtime as this may infringe a long-standing D-G prerogative).


    (If uncertain how to milk situation refer to chapter one, paragraph three, of handbook "How to be a Man" received at puberty by all Martians and available at all good men-only bookstores.)


    Warning: DO NOT allow this guidance to be found by D-G. Penalties for ignoring this warning are too terrible to speak of and may cause permanent harm.......
