Go, not to say ‘shut your ass’

– It will not do that the first time they are out on a private site and get to know that they will meet at 10 o’clock the day after they reply, ‘shut your ass’, says Kim Østerbye and continues:

– It is about behavior. So one can say that it is to be in a workplace and learn how a craft can give them the pride back that they do not think in the criminal courts.
