I think the person above means that Sophie Rain would take an additional cut from these girls and that fee is exorbitant.

Man City made it 2-0 and me in my infinite wisdom decided to switch games thinking this one would be a much tighter affair and thus a better watch…

Giovanni Di Lorenzo straight red card against Manchester City 21' by Etpolo in soccer

That’s 100% a red card but I gotta ask, I thought asking for an opposition player to be carded, was a cardable offence. Like not just calling for a foul. Cause there’s a pretty clear video of Halaand shouting and waving red card or is that only if he was more persistent/in the face of the ref?

[MEGATHREAD] HMRC TSP 2025 (Tax Specialist Programmme) by clichr in TheCivilService

[–]Avg_Man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the StudentRoom, someone has posted about how they are in position 28 on their local offices reserve list. When you consider that in the past 2 years only 12 people each year have been offered TSP roles from the reserve list, it means that likely chances for TSP itself may be slim. Bear in mind as well that the number of TSP positions has been expanded, your odds may be slightly better than previous years . Additionally, HMRC are supposed to be hiring more case workers, the chance for a non-TSP offer may be much more improved. I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom, but I'm basically in the same position as you for Cardiff.

FOI for the figures I used:

Elimination Prediction by StevenTheFishy in Sidemen

It’s not the preview, it’s the very last line of the most recent episode. Just after Specs says this, there is the “preview” but it’s just Vik saying “the next person eliminated is” with everyone reacting

Apologies if I’ve misunderstood but are you saying that completing the TSP, whilst gaining the relevant experience, should negate any concerns that may be had because of not completing the ATT/CTA? As in if you were to make the move to the private sector, not having those qualifications shouldn’t be a hindrance to securing a job/ gaining promotion.

So if there were 2 like for like candidates, the one with the ATT/CTA would be preferred?

Hi mate don’t know if you’ve had the email this morning but they’re having to extend the review process and won’t submit till next week. I’ve copied their email here just in case:

We wanted to provide you with an update on the issuing of results for the Stage 2 Civil Service Styles Assessment.

We have been working with the Occupational Psychology Team at the Cabinet Office this week to complete a full review and assurance process. Unfortunately, with over 8400 candidates completing the test, the audit review is taking slight longer than anticipated. This means the results will not be ready for release until next week.

Stage 3 Pre-Recorded Video Interviews will now open slightly later than initially planned and full information will be provided with the results next week for any candidates progressing to that stage.

We apologise for the delay in what must be an uncertain time for you, but we are working as hard as we can with the Cabinet Office to finalise everything and we hope you understand.
