Amfa@aa

Rest assured any and all comments by Dave Stewart are to be dismissed as those made by a common liar, and might I add a very well fed common liar.
 
Earl steve, how you gonna educate the members when your walked out the gate??

Did ya get caught with your hand in somebody else's cookie jar?? Oooops?

Maybe now you'll get to see the twu in action. Good luck bruddah!!!!

Gary Hackett, you still believing everything they tell you and then spreading it like you invented it? *scratches head* I know I saw Connell at work all night, no one walked him anywhere, c'mon now Gary, you're not a liar also are ya? Or did the TWU save him quicker than he got in trouble and we just don't know it yet?

amfa and the likes of Gary Hackett are known for their poor history of repeating the facts, or even knowing the facts prior to a media release. amfa just needs to try a bit harder to get Connell, he's just a wee bit ahead of your game!
 
I heard all about Connell and his antics. I heard that TA Haines filed a complaint and that the company has to act, heard it went all the way to Dave Campbell. TA is our main man up here, he'll take care of Connell for us, just wait!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :lol: :lol:

You told him MaryLou.

Look out Steve, you have a wild one on your tail!!!! :shock:

Oh, I think you need to look for a better "main man"!!!!! "Cause TA ain't it!!!
 
I foresee Dave running again to management yelling about the overstaffing and allowing the self admitted mobile mechanic, TA Haines, to get furloughed...now that would be funny.
