Erm, I thought strict muslims (i.e. the ones who might be offended by piggy banks) wouldnt use a bank account from those companies, as payment of interest was against their religion... hence the recently launched Islamic bank accounts that use a convoluted way of paying them.Vieze Oude Man -

Who in these large companies comes up with all this bollux?Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Perhaps the piggies should be dressed up in a veil?
BTW, what's the problem? The Koran says don't eat Pork(It actually says "It's not a good idea to eat Pork in a warm country as it spoils quickly"), not "Don't look at the cute 'ikkle piggies"!

As for the rest, the whole idea of doing/not doing one thing or another just because it upsets some peoples faith is b*llocks.
What next, remove all the world atlases because it upsets the flat-earth believers?Comment
