Firstly I am pretty sure the courts would not bother hearing a case where only swearing was involved and it was the first time. Even if the employee complained it would have been resolved by a mediator initially.

And nothing to do with PC'ness. Just because you pay someone does not give you the right to physically and/or verbally abuse the person. And any decent manager knows that it is the most pointless way of improving someone's performance.

Earlier this year Gorgon Ramsays' shows on television were the subject of a Senate Inquiry because of the use of his language after so many complaints......

As those of you will know who have been fortunate enough to have made my aquaintance

Ramsay is the only thing I watch on TV - other wise I download it - simple as that!! Haven't seen much of the hells kitchen, but after watching the show I do admit I wonder about the food I get served these days

The Nine Network are saturating their audience with Gordon Ramsay just like the Seven did with Rex Hunt some years ago..

We still watch it for the laughs and tantrums and often think what lies behind the kitchen doors of the eateries we frequent..

As for BB, TBL, ACA, RSPCA, RPA, IMT, NRL, MTV, GMA, ACP, CSI, BTN, and NCIS....never watch em.........

I am a fan of the RACV though..

Yep, I watch too much TV really at the moment, MASH in the after noon before the house work, Scrapheap Challenge after dinner and Ramsay, the rest of the stuff is what Amanda wants to watch and I normally then sit on this thing and annoy you lot

As far as Rex Hunt's cooking show goes, I remember that, pitty he cant cook , is not that much of a business man and is generally an arogant rude ex footballer who lives of his contacts and not his tallent IMHO

By the way, Im not a Rex Hunt fan and yes I have met him on several occasions and they were not in the profesional arena and even in public (but not on camera) he would make Ramsay blush with his swearing around women and children.

We all had a nick name for him but the swear filter will filter it to *** **** *** *** **** or just TOC for short.

Not into voyeurism or Ramsey!

I too enjoy Ramsey's shows. It is amazing how many people make the mistake of "buying" themselve's a job. Happens all the time in all sorts of business.

It also often shows how someone can be so set on what they "think" people want that they become blind to everthing around them. Again quite common in business.

Having worked in kitchens (thank fully nothing like these!) and having seen some "chefs" in action it is the only thing they understand. And at the end of the day he has built himself an empire globally and does very well for himself (and was not handed to him. Originally he wanted to play soccer professionally. He's also not ashamed to admit he made mistakes in the past, not just in business either.)

Have to agree with the BB etc what junk and well said about Rex, unlike Ramsey he was just a footballer but of course in this country if you were even a "might be" AFL player you can make money.... How many car yards are they responsible for???

For entertainment have to admit I do like GNW, NCIS and House.

I'm even boycotting watching those this time round due to it being in China. It's such a joke when you take into account the human rights abuses in Tibet and inside their own country!
