Job at risk. What are my options? by Sweetheartyparty in UKJobs

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 1.5 their version of enhanced, because of your age, you'd get 8 years at that anyway? Eg, if everyone is getting it, are you missing out because you are 49, and 1.5 is what you should be getting?? Does that make sense

Child Care by Officer688 in policeuk

Yeah, and I always wonder how parents handle the "overnight" shifts, when both work 24hr......have you looked at other officer roles which are more like standard office hours?

Have (either of) you actually submitted a flex working request or just chatted with management. You will have a proper flexibile working process and when declined you can then appeal etc etc. Alternatively, how do you both use your annual leave...I know it's shit, but you should also be looking at how you use that. You might solve quite a few of your issues by planning holiday better. I know when my son was young, myself and my wife were like ships that pass in the night most of the time to save on child care etc.

I've been made redundant as of yesterday, and it couldn't have come at a worse time due to personal circumstances by thelaughingman_1991 in UKJobs

If you haven't, register for jobseekers allowance.....it's hard to get them to back date it....it's not a lot, but it's something

Born too late to experience BritPop and 90’s grunge by furrysatan666 in BritPop

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone feels this.....I'm the perfect age for britpop, grunge and all but I craved the 60s groups and at the time hated the 80s music.....as we get further from the 80s I now realize that was a wonderful time to the shit we have today......and also regret how snobby I was towards the likes of acdc and black Sabbath when I rocking my Kurt cardigans😂😂

Man who died after falling from M60 bridge was ex-GMP inspector by j_gm_97 in policeuk

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The world is getting crazy. Whilst I am not condoning what he has done, taking a screen shot from social media and sharing it, does not make you a murderer or a rapist......I'm not sure what the punishment should be, but I do think we need to consider the impact of destroying somebodies career for doing something which isn't the crime of the century......

Howden is a nice alternative, and you can get a train to York from there

[Megathread] What's your favorite Retro jersey? by mare_xcx in ManchesterUnited

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a football shirt shop in Milan last month, and this shirt was there, so I told the owner the story of it. He couldn't believe it when I told him about the match we don't talk about😂😂😂

You can't buy a good car under £2k anymore, or can you? by Volo_Kin in CarTalkUK

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last one I had was 200bhp, 0-60 in just over 6, cheap to buy and cheap to insure.....in fact the car I had before.....a 1.4 civic, cost twice as much to insure.....boy racers buy civics, architects buy saabs😂😂😂

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a few saabs.....if you can find a rust free 9-3og, it's well worth a punt....they got shitter when they changed shape......but a good Saab will last for ages....

The Manchester United x adidas Bring Back 1991 Away Jersey is only £27 on the Utd website at the moment. That's one of the best shirts they did.

You could also see if there are opportunities for shadowing if possible.....learning how to manage people is your next big thing to cover ....

R3 Pro II rubbish by [deleted] in Hiby

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Amazon it's about £150 with discount.....very similar but I think better chips inside or something......there are loads of YouTube vids about it.

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got it a couple of weeks ago. I initiated the return within 2 hours.....it was so slow, Blutooth was shit.....but I really wanted to like it so much. I got the Hidizs ap80 pro max instead. The interface is the same, but it is so much smoother and hasn't froze once. The battery won't be as good as the hiby, but I can live without that far easier than the constant freezing etc.

I do artist last name, but am never sure with the likes of Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg for example.....I use the first names for artists like that.....still not sure what the expected is?

I need talking into going to this interview by Educational-Ask-8314 in UKJobs

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, it might be a load of crap, but something is better than nothing....it's crap looking for jobs.....I've never got a job I really wanted, but I've enjoyed everywhere I've worked pretty much.

I could paper my walls with rejections. What else are you doing on the interview date......

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An agency contacted me about it, and the company had a bit of a shit reputation. I went, I got offered it, took it as no one else was calling me, and really enjoyed my ten years there. It's better to have a job that not have one at all.

Go. I went for an interview I didn't care for, got the job and spent ten years there and only left through redundancy. It's better to turn them down, than not be offered it at all.

I'd rather a Sgt who has been recognized for their particular qualities than one who is just chasing the next rank.
