According to the Equal Opportunities Commission statistics released this week, last year, for the first time in htm its 20- year history, the organisation received more complaints from men htm than women about discrimination in the workplace.You can see why the men are complaining. "It is vital to gain the technical abilities and qualifications before you apply for htm any job, but it is equally important to brush up on your communications skills and become service-orientated Charm is a big part of service. A macho approach isn't highly sought after these days." As htm muscle becomes an obsolete tool, so men index are, apparently, increasingly seeking women's jobs. "We've reached the end of the labour market press index press index and the beginning press of the skills market," says Alec Reed, Executive Chairman of Reed Personnel Services, the leading employment agency group in the UK. There are certain things a man's got to do when trying to land a job traditionally regarded as women's work. If he fancies being a receptionist, a secretary, a nanny press or a nurse, he would be well advised to take a crash course at a charm school, have dental surgery so that his smile looks straight and once index at an interview, keep the news that he spends his weekends going four-wheel driving, lassoing wild steers, or grinding grain between his over-developed pectorals to himself.

The rivals meet twice in the space of four days in their attempt to reach the First Division final against Stoke or Leicester.Charlton's supporters' club claims that under League rules they are entitled to a quarter of all seats available compared to the 2,943 allocation.Noades, however, says that Palace have been handed only 2,889 tickets for Sunday's first leg at The Valley and insisted that increasing the numbers available "would put both clubs in conflict with their local police, who have approved the ticket distribution".He added: "The competition rules provide for 25 per cent but clubs up and down the country are unable to comply with this because it is overruled by the police on the grounds of safety and segregation."This ticket allocation has nothing whatsoever to do with Charlton Athletic or Crystal Palace and is really outside their control.Fiorentina, the leading Italian club, have been banned from their Florence stadium for one match after fans hurled bottles and coins at the referee in last Sunday's Serie A game against Roma, Italy's football association said yesterday..

It seems likely that Evans' decision will spell disappointment for Neil Ruddock, Michael Thomas and the record FA Cup goalscorer, Ian Rush.However, Evans offered some hope for Rush, who leaves the club at the end of the season ''Ian will take some part, that's for sure," Evans said. McStay, with 73 caps for Scotland, is to have an ankle operation in the summer and the 31-year-old midfielder will not be ready for the European Championship, which starts next month. Jess won the last of his 10 caps when scoring for Scotland against San Marino last November. Now he is line for his first major championships at the age of 25."You can't quantify the loss of someone as experienced as McStay, '' Brown said.

''He is possibly one of our players who would be selected by other managers for their squads for Euro 96.''On the return of Jess, Brown said: "Eoin's attitude was first class when I contacted him and he will join us for training with the rest of the squad at the start of next week.''Roy Evans, the Liverpool manager, revealed yesterday that he had decided on his team for tomorrow's FA Cup against Manchester United.
