Tindog

Hi Just received a review that said one element of my disclaimer was incorrect and I quote: yet my disclaimer reads (and has ALWAYS read) (with the relevant part emphasised in bold). I even double checked this against the guideline link I was given. So I do not see the reason for this 'complaint' and I most definately do not want my story deleted for an incorrect disclaimer that is actually correct. So do I just ignore the so-called review and remove it? I've edited it for even further clarity but not happy about having to and hoping this **** doesn't happen to others who are entering valid disclaimers as I can see it driving people to leave if it's happening on a regular basis. I'll assume this time it was someone being a little trigger happy

Jack Nicholson did warn him about the apparent curse of playing the Joker too. Similar apparently happened to the guy who played the joker in the original 60s TV series, and Nicholson isn't exactly known for being balanced (although that is part of what makes him a great actor) Can't say I was really ever a fan, but still sad to hear of the death. When I first heard of it, I didn't believe it.

Even at 25, I can totally empathise. When i was looking for work years ago, i firmly believe it took a long time because while I was slaving away at part time jobs and volunteering to develop skills and a CV alongside actual jobseeking, there was; 1/ Effwits in the jobcentre who would come in, sign, then say "I havent bothered looking for work, can you gimme my money today", and get away with it. The Government claims to keep an eye, but they continually harrassed me for proof I was looking for work. Luckily I was always able to provide exactly that, even got proof that I'd turned up for interviews etc, but it always annoyed me that chavite workshy slobs were getting away with it. This just gives people my age a bad image, many employers I interviewed with (mostly for junior admin jobs) gave age as a secondary reason and only took me seriously when I started doing crappy agency work. 2/ Friends who would mock me for not being able to find a job, despite the fact that they'd never looked for a job in their lives and had well-paying jobs purely through Nepotism (one dad I know gave his son who couldn't even be bothered to climb out of bed on signing day a job in his factory and a car when he got his driving licence, mine demanded rent out of the money I didn't have while claiming). Even in my current job, there are people who don't pull their weight and it's not age exclusive (although the action taken seems to be). The one in my team with the constant lowest productivity is over 50, which seems to be the reason nothing is done where a younger guy who did more work (still not much, but more) was actually fired. I personally have a strong work ethic, which is the reason in the two years I've been there I've been given 2 pay rises, a promotion and been recommended for jobs within another department. I don't expect everyone to do all that, but there is a line of pulling weight or being lazy, and some people cross it far too often.

Hi I'm Tone, 25, living in Nottingham, UK but originating from London. Long time reader on AFF, had an attempt at fic under a different name a while back. I work as a techie by day. I'm a fan of scifi, music, reading, motorsports and gaming among other things. I have a few fics in the works at the moment, sat here half finished on my laptop. I hope over time to finish a few, continue some further, get feedback and learn to write better fics (i was good at creative writing at school and think I just need to get back into practice), while enjoying other's fics too. I do original stuff loosely around people and events in my actual life as well as the usual fics of various tv and radio shows and celebrities. Looking forward to having some input on these forums too

Hi I'm Tindog, long time reader, soon-to-be first time author. Anyways, username is partly a reference to my job and a character in Doctor Who. For those of you that have seen the second series (David Tennant/Billie Piper) episode "School Reunion", the character Mickey Smith says the following to Sarah-Jane Smith "I'm their man in Havana, I'm the Technical Support... oh my God I'm the Tin Dog" Tin Dog in that case is a reference to the robot K9, and Technical Support happens to be my occupation, so I thought that name would fit well and be fairly anonymous.
