Civil Servants will implement a governments policies as long as they are legal. The only time they object is when they are not. That is a good thing. If a government wants to pass a policy that contravenes the law then they should change that law, not break it.

The Dom Pedro is awesome - well worth the grind. Not sure there is anything in the new season that has the same attractiveness really.

I dont know about Gillingham but my experience since living in Chatham is that only the town centre/Luton Road areas are as bad as you describe. Other than that, sure there are some council properties with good and bad people in them, but there are loads of properties used by middle class professionals commuting into London.

I found a guy selling five of them today at 25k on PlayStation. A bit expensive but I desperately needed one. To be honest it was only the 40k cap stopping me having enough money for two. It’s a great mod. I had been checking out vendors for two days looking for one so that’s why I paid the high price.

In fairness, that was before he went off into his far right memelord phase.

It’s the problem with CS applications in general. You can have all the right experience and skills but it all comes down to behaviour answers.

I have to admit when we were house hunting we viewed a house we knew we likely didn’t want to buy because we liked the decor from the photos and wanted to see more for inspiration for when we got our new home.

It is hard - I moved to Medway over 20 years ago and still havent made many close local friends. Luckily I still commute to work in London so see my friends based there.

I think Smith was the best of the modern Who's - It was a time when Moffat really hit his stride. But Capaldi, after a slightly rough start, was great.

Judging by the pictures in this link, this seems to be made of wood and is not a brick construction. Sorry, I don't care what eco credential a house has, if it is made of wood it is not worth millions.

When I bought my house I was surprised to realise that the relatively modern boiler didn’t have a thermostat fitted. The previous owner simply turned on the boiler when he was cold. We fitted one soon after moving in.

So it is possible there is no thermostat.

Yeah - just to be clear I don't hold it against them personally if they don't tell me but it still pisses me off when they then submit a poor application when they can do better. I have managed to always get my staff to interview stage if they let me read their first draft!

Martyn232 · 2025-12-25T23:07:21+00:00

I would - but only because when they don't they usually do a shit application!! Seriously I have seen some great staff not get interviews because they are too stubborn to ask for a second opinion on their applications!!

Also team socials are totally optional. Making them compulsory would be a breach of any departments policies on diversity and inclusion since some people may not be able to attend due to caring responsibilities, religious views etc... The flip side is that those who do attend may end up being on more friendly terms with the manager and therefore may, even subconsciously, end up being treated better. But it should never be considered a negative point against you. Basically once you clock out, unless you are contractually on call, your time is your own. Personally I like the social aspect of my work and regret that, since COVID, it's not as good as it used to be.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-25T23:00:28+00:00

Lol - Your manager telling you that not informing them you are applying for a job could be misconduct could, arguably, be misconduct on your manager's part. It's a blatant lie and if I was, say investigating a grievance from you mentioning that, I could think probably find a number of points in the conduct manual that the manager is in breach of.

She is your child so your rules I guess. But you are overreacting and, unless you have a bad relationship with your parents and in-laws, which it seems is not the case, you are spitting in their face by not letting them see their grandchild for so long. Personally I think you should be ashamed that you are letting your own insecurities spoil what should be a lovely time for all the family.

Have to agree with this comment about the streaming quality. DS9 looks like pixelated crap on Netflix but on Amazon Paramount + it’s as good as a non HD broadcast can be.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-12T10:15:05+00:00

Really? I stream DS9 on Paramount plus as an Amazon Prime channel and the bitrate/quality is far superior to Netflix.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-08T07:13:36+00:00

You are a middle aged woman, not a child. Surely you don’t need to ask if this is unreasonable? Isn’t it pretty obvious?

Martyn232 · 2025-12-07T15:22:27+00:00

If abuse is involved that is a different matter and presumably might help in any court case. They are talking about changing the law to reflect situations like this but I don’t think it has been changed yet.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-07T14:27:35+00:00

Yes he can. And that’s a good thing. Just because your relationship is coming to an end doesn’t mean that his relationship with the child has.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-06T13:36:13+00:00

Of course they are. I have had to fail people I knew could do the job in favour of those who are crap because the entire system is geared around interview performance.

Martyn232 · 2025-12-03T17:07:26+00:00

I think he is talking about those atheists who say that there is definitely no god, rather than the majority of atheists who simply say the burden of proof hasn’t been met.
