Ha ha, how long has Sordell been with Bolton? And they've only just realised this week?

I once had an employee who was addicted to porn. I knew within 48 hours of him joining the company.

Didn't you mention that you caught said employee cracking one off in the loos or was that another of your industrial relations classics?

Yes, he was sacked for wanking in the bogs.

This has to be a fucking joke? I'm starting to think Sordell is an even bigger mentalist than Amos.

I think that was unfair dismissal- what someone does in the privacy of his own cubicle has nothing to do with management.

This was the original post in November 2009:

As many of you know I help run my father's advertising agency in Manchester. It's not a large company, 31 employees with a couple of temps. My Dad prefers the golf course these days so generally I'm left to run the place including hiring and firing. I have no problem with any of that, it's just business.

But today I have a dilemma that I've not seen or heard of before.

One of our (male) graphic designers was caught openly masturbating in the men's toilets by one of the female cleaners. Not in a stall but over a sink in plain view of anyone walking in.

So far no one else knows about this but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Should I be letting people masturbate on my time? Is this not the same as sneaking into the bogs for a crafty fag or to make a personal call on a mobile...which are both disciplinary matters at our company.

What if a major client had decided to use the toilets just as this employee was ditching his load in the sink? That's a scary thought in so many ways.

There's nothing actually in peoples contracts about masterbating in public, but surely it's taken as a given that you don't w*** in public bogs on your employers time?

Should I just ignore it and perhaps put a big sign up outside the toilets saying 'NO WANKING' or should I treat this as I would smoking on the premises? Advice please.

This was the update in June 2012:


Anyway, after at first saying he was dropping his threat of legal action, the wanker changed his mind and took my company to an Employment Tribunal, which ruled this morning on this important piece of legislation.

Unfortunately the Employment Tribunal has ruled against my company and said it is acceptable for employees to take wanking breaks if others are allowed breaks for a drink or a fag. If the company doesn't allow breaks, wanking is forbidden.

I am outraged at this outcome, it is quite ridiculous to say wanking in the bogs is the same as having a drink in the kitchen or a fag in the car park. I fully intend to appeal this decision, who wants to walk into the toilets to find three people wanking themselves silly?

Are you against wanking at work, or perhaps you are a participant?

What was never made public was the masturbator had a photo pinned to one of the mirrors while he did the deed. It was a group photo from the Whittam International plc Christmas Night Out from 2008. I was looking hot. Make of that what you will.

Why does Twitter have such a fatal attraction for footballers?

With England under-21 player Marvin Sordell described by his manager as suffering an 'addiction' to Twitter, what is it about footballers and social media?

What is it with footballers and Twitter? This is a relationship that has already passed through the giddiness of instant passion, past the deeper notes of gathering dependency and now seems to be showing the first signs of damaging obsession. On Monday, England under-21 international Marvin Sordell became the first footballer described – by his own manager Dougie Freedman – as suffering "an addiction" to Twitter. "There have been small issues off the field with his tweeting, let's not hide, and we're trying to deal with it," said the Bolton Wanderers boss. "It could be bordering on an obsession with Twitter and Facebook and all the things that go on with these kids."

Ah yes: these kids. Some reports have suggested Freedman has now confiscated his player's phone in a bid to break the cycle of micro-blogging that has seen Sordell send a frankly rather so-so 5,306 tweets in two years (sample tweets: "I am who I am …" and "Hahahahahaa Smile"). Addiction might be pushing it, but what is certain is that Sordell's plight emphasises again how thoroughly entwined football and Twitter remain.

It has been a beautifully fruitful relationship from the start, football's natural habitat of foaming rage, weak jokes and baseless gossip entirely suited to the medium. Among English footballers Wayne Rooney has 5.5 million followers, while otherwise marginal figures such as Joey Barton (1.8 million followers) and barely glimpsed Arsenal reserve Emmanuel Frimpong (590,000 followers) have concocted buoyant second lives out of the fug of smartphone-based social media.

In spite of which, and with Sordell's plight in mind, there is more to football and Twitter than simply gossip. Footballers are often terribly isolated young men, their lives an unceasing rotation of hotel rooms, luxury travel and abrasive male banter and, outside this, the gilded alienation of a media-managed existence. Twitter can cast a grappling hook across this divide. There have been plenty of examples of too much sharing (Liverpool's Jonjo Shelvey is one of several players to have erroneously posted a self-shot penis-picture). Mainly, though, and beyond the obvious self-marketeers, there is often a sense of footballers taking some comfort in a form of technology that reverses just a little the sense of industrial isolation. One of Sordell's last tweets reads: "Just watched the impossible. It was unbelievable!! One of the most moving films ive ever seen Such a sad story". You said it, Marvin.
