"Boote-call"?

i'd row her heath

/got nothin'
//obviously

careful, guys. she'll sue.

I'll sue her for sex discrimination. It is discriminatory that women can sleep their way into a cushy job and men can't.

just curious though, how is this news? It happens all the time. Is it just because of the current paranoia about terrorism and airports that this is news? Our safety is compromised by an unqualified bint? Is that why it is news?

Donna Boote, 37, is now not only in charge ...



wait what? 37? Id have guessed higher

/ridden hard put away wet i guess

Well, the security screeners are inept, why not have an inept manager too?

That's not a real newspaper, is it?

mistervague: That's not a real newspaper, is it?

No not really. They go on to say "The Mail on Sunday understands that she was given the job by Heathrow's former managing director in late 2005." So no, there really isn't much of a story here.

There's something to be said for putting all your bad eggs in one basket.

/Heathrow is from the Latin root "heathrowium" which means special level of hell.

She just got the job and she lives with her boss so they can comute and prevent global warming.

See Farketts you can grow up and be somebody

Six years is a long time to sleep yourself to the top, though. What'd she shave off the normal process, 1-2 years?

Okay, fine, but . . .
Where the hell is my luggage?

if you've got a Boote in your Heathrow, don't be alarmed now

id hit it

Caesar's wife, and all that...
/not really all that obscure
//can't think of the Latin for "slashies"

weren't there 15,000 luggage bags abandoned/lost in Heathrow just this past week? I remember some kind of major snafu affecting travelers, stranding them in droves. Can't remember what it was caused by.

NCP69: id hit it

...with my empty Crown Royal bottle.

My guess is that with all the baggage fark-ups currently going on at Heathrow, journalists have been sent there to cover those stories and turned this up whilst they were digging for stuff to write. Fits in nicely with the 'wtf is going on at Heathrow?' theme.

Hmm, the company that administers the largest British airport is owned by the Spanish??? I thought Britain was into socialism and screwing up government departments. Seems they have outsourced incompetence.

the voices in your head: if you've got a Boote in your Heathrow, don't be alarmed now

ok, people, turn your computers off. The internets are officially closed. Silently sit still, fold your hands in your laps. The End Is Near.

/that was a seriously bad pun
//I'm scared

BTW, did anyone else catch the story advertised on the right about Heath Leadger possibly fathering a kid by an older woman at age 17? Link (new window)

I think I've stumbled upon the only thing more awesome than winning the internets.

From now on, every post i make will be an attempt to make a joke so excruciatingly bad that the internet shuts down for a week. Or maybe I'll just post Carlos Mencia's face. Either way.

Hell, she doesn't look half bad for someone that has 6 years of taking it in the bum on her resume.

WTF? Do all news stories sound like myspace in the UK?

Governor McGreevey and his boyfriend disagree. If at first you don't succeed keep on sucking until you do succeed was their motto and a whole lot of other folks' as well.

Now she can sue for sexual harrassment if she ever gets fired. Was pressured by director into sleeping with him for promotions.

I'm amazed by her skill though. Slept with the previous director to get promoted, then to keep the job, marries this one.

Old_Fark: Okay, fine, but . . .

Heathrow shut down for hours, flights delayed, today whilst they look for it! Traveler says the system may become "user friendly" by next week. Heh.

Ms Boote, a 37-year-old mother of two, was formerly in the Military Police, which she joined aged 17, and eventually became a sergeant in the Special Investigations Branch.

The promotion was obviously crap, but she still has more experience than "Heckuva Job Brownie" did...

/sorry for making a Bush connection
//at least I didn't godwin

I'd promote it, hell yeah.

Woman sleeps with manger to get a promotion and doesn't get it = Sexual Harassment

Woman sleeps with manger to get a promotion and gets it = Successful businesswoman who can sue for sexual harassment if she loses that position in the future.

This is totally off subject.

I really could care less about this chick, but I have a question and I trust the Farkers so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm a young guy and Ive been unemployed for the past 2 months, but I'm about to start a new job this week. Its really not what I want and no where near the pay that I'm used to. I'm considering buying some stock, but I have absolutely no idea what site to use and what to buy. If any of you have advice on what to do feel free to email me. Thanks. reds­o­x_­4­0­6l­iamto­hco­m

It must have been her teeth that set her apart from the competition.

The article mentions neither golf balls or garden hoses, but for some reason I feel it should?

Or is it just me?

You have a crap job after two months of unemployment and want to buy stock? Suggestion: don't.

Also, she's an alright looker. PROMOTE AWAY!

Since you have no idea, put the money in a 5% savings account until you do have some idea. Who the hell asks for stock tips on FARK?

Didn't Bernie Kerik goe from being Guliani's driver to head of the NYC police department in 6 years also?

Looks like if you have a special talent or two, you can make to the top in 6 years. I guess all those people in MBA school are wasting their time and money.

I'm considering buying some stock,

If we are really entering a recession, I would wait until the market goes down another 20-30%, and then buy(1-2 years).

and why would someone about to start a low-wage dead-end, fresh off of 60 days of unemployment, be on the lookout for where to invest stock, and ask for your email?

I would not send this person my email address.

I would, however, pound that British woman; but the boss has got that locked up I think.

Well you see, I had the same job for the past 8 years, it paid well, but I hated every minute of it. So now I'm just taking it easy trying to find something I'm actually happy doing. As far as the stock tips, I just thought that buying some stock would maybe give me something to do in my free time and possibly help me earn some cash on the side. And as for mama's_tasty_foods's comment, I'm not trying to start a collection of email addresses, I just like the fact that the people on Fark are somewhat humorous and I'd rather take advice from someone that I could see myself having a nice conversation with as apposed to some uptight asshole on Wall Street.

The article led me to this link, which has some truly hilarious comments:

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Asking that on Fark:
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA[choke]HAHAHAHAHAHA[choke}HAHAHAHA[snort]

Being recently unemployed, getting a crap job, and asking that on Fark:
You owe me a new heart. Mine just quit, due to an excess of coughing/laughing.

Right now, the market sucks. Don't trust anyone who claims to know where it is heading. There are people who want to believe that Jan. 22 was the market bottom. Only time will tell.

If you haven't already, you may want to max out your IRA account. If you are investing for your retirement, you may want to dollar cost average into an index fund. Note that this is long term, and assumes that you can ride out the current economic uncertainty.

Thanks for the advice.

As for the rest of you, I just felt that this article was a waste of time and decided to change the subject. And although it may not seem like it, I've got a good head on my shoulders and I know not to take any advice without doing the research myself. And the fact that I'm 25 years old, my house and ride are paid for, and that I actually have the funds to buy stock after being out of a job for 2 months just makes me laugh when people call me an idiot. And I am by NO MEANS WHATSOEVER planning on throwing away a ton of money as long as Bush is in the House, but I thought that I may start an account and figure things out before Jan. 2009.

It's Boo-tay, Monkey Boy.
