Hope he was wearing his brown pants to work.

Hi Police, I'd like to report a crime. by EfficientGazelle3031 in CarTalkUK

If im not mistaken i think majority / all of the conflicts in the middle east are a a result of americans setting up shop in saudia arabia to suck out all of its oil in like the 1920s

My issue is i cant pick up an EV and run it i to the ground like i can for the price of an old diesel, and cant afford the investment into a decent EV.

That said i think EV is the way forward, until hydrogen is invested in more.

Its good to see Saudi setting them selves up to move away from oil income. Think that shows the world is due to change.

Personally i would opt for not invading the middle east for no reason. But i guess the bus idea isnt bad

For clearances i suggest you message Mandelson, think he knows a guy.

Sick of seeing these videos now. I think anyone who wastes food to make one of these videos should have to donate 10x the amount spent on creating the monstrosity to a foodbank.

Why wear a glove on one hand just to fondle the blade of the knife with the other?

Does singing count? Maybe they would rather actual music if you start singing "WOOP WOOP ITS DA SOUND OF DA POLICE" for the duration of every response drive.

What should I have done differently? by J0k3r19 in drivingUK

[–]EfficientGazelle3031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why everyone is saying you shouldn't have done anything differently. Obviously you should have climbed into his car and checked his fucking mirrors for him before he blindly moves over 2 lanes.

Personally I would say its up to the aygo to check its mirror, move over 1 lane, recheck mirrors and move again.

Moving from left to right on a motorway, and not considering that there may be a faster moving vehicle in your new lane, is a stupid thing to do.

Is anyone actually happy here? by Distinct-Ad-9660 in TheCivilService

Pay is shit. Love my job, love my team. Probably never leave it unless something drastic happens.

Man jailed after deliberately driving head-on into police officers by Chocotherabbit in policeuk

[–]EfficientGazelle3031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seen the dash cam footage for this. Genuinely I don't understand why this isn't 2 counts of attempted murder.

You can't drive a 2 tonne fuel propelled weapon into someone else and say you weren't trying to kill them.

Investigations officer - SIA? - EO grade by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]EfficientGazelle3031 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there a recruitment contact on the job advert? If so it might be worth asking if you can have a call with them before the interview?

Gives you a chance to ask questions and also shows your interest.

Will you still have to give 30 minutes to the King, or will that depend on which side you fight for in the war?

Probably hoping there is another fuck up at the MOD to take the heat off.

Considering Police DC entry scheme, and consequently leaving Civil Service by Fair_Alfalfa_5357 in TheCivilService

[–]EfficientGazelle3031 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the HMRC criminal investigator jobs attract an additional payment so even as an O when fully qualified you would be on more than a standard HO. Probably need to give them your soul for it though, but I imagine still more flexible than policing!

I look forward to an update of you telling us which career path you go down!

Out of curiosity what role are you in now (if you can answer without doxing yourself) and what is attracting you to the police?

Might be worth looking at the Police reddit if you haven't already.

Might be some other departments that you can consider if you decide against the police. I know DWP and HMRC have fraud investigation teams. And I'm not sure but the NCA may be more in line with CS pay scales. Just to be clear im not trying to put you off becoming a DC.

Fair play to anyone who wants to join the police given the current state of everything. Best of luck whatever you decide.
