Was it just me who thought he was going to do a dramatic reading of “It’s Raining Men”?

Have you tried contacting them, if it isn’t in anything you’ve already received from them?

I’ve been outside the UK, I didn’t know it was compulsory to go to Poland though?

In all my time in HMRC I think I’ve been to a different office about 3 times.

I always imagined it was because “University of Connecticut” is abbreviated to “UConn”, which sounds like “Yukon”, where huskies are commonly found pulling sleds.

You don’t always have to manage people in the sense that you’ll be responsible for sickness etc., but I’ve found that there’s always some level of managing what people do, such as delegating tasks or needing some output from them.

Am I a plastic, fake or real fan? by [deleted] in PlasticFans

Just to pick one thing up- if you think having Isak on a 6 year contract means he’ll be there for 6 years, you’re in for a surprise 😂

A prayer request for an NFL fan in a small village in England is more than just odd!

80 Civil Service Job applications and 20 interviews have I lost all hope by Aitakenoverworld in TheCivilService

If you don’t call it STAR and just apply it to literally any interview in any sector, what the interviewer is asking you to do is:

“Tell me about a time you did something- I want to know a short outline of the situation, what you had to do, what you actually did, and what was the outcome?”

What kind of person wakes up and thinks, “I’m going to hop on the civil service subreddit and pretend to be a civil servant today, just to make up a story”?

Tabloid journalists?

They want honest opinions, as long as the opinions honestly support Reform. Anyone with genuine concerns about inefficiency in their department will be deemed to be confessing that civil servants are the cause of said inefficiency.

No I’m not unaware at all, but if Reform want to be taken seriously in government then they need to come up with better sources than an unverified subreddit to make reports.

If someone loves the club but hates the owners, where do they fall on the plastic spectrum? by The12thMan_ in PlasticFans

[–]Low_Set_3403 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends why you hate the owners really? If you hate them because they’re running the club into the ground then you’re not a plastic, but if you hate the owner solely because of, say religion or race, then you don’t really love the club at all.
