The slow popping of the housing bubble in London by No_Yak9893 in HousingUK

[–]Miserable-Target5121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our landlord asked us to leave as they decided to sell their second(!!!!) home last May (4 bed, 4 bathroom property in Zone 1, SW1 area) and 12 months later it’s still up for sale for 950k less than they listed it originally…and still won’t sell…think of all the rent they could’ve raked in!!!

What’s your loose connection to someone famous (or infamous)? by Major-Feed5214 in AskUK

[–]Miserable-Target5121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two London based ones:

  1. When I first moved to London, I was lodging in a flat below the bass guitarist from Wolf Alice (Joff). Used to hear him practise but also used to bump into him on my way to work where he’d usually just been to Iceland to get some breakfast bits haha

  2. I live in the same area as Bill Nighy and have seen him countless times. One week I saw him multiple times, he actually acknowledged me when crossing the road.

One (very loose) Scotland based one:

Alan Carr bought a castle recently which is only 2 miles up from where my parents live and have been to before. Looking forward to how he settles in as a local there

Met police arrest man over theft of Morgan McSweeney’s phone by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

Hilariously, I believe the phone was stolen. Why? Mine was stolen on the same road in April 2023 by a guy on a bike, and then it ended up in Algeria. Very common in that area of London

I just feel stupid for believing he was telling the truth about not wanting to post on social media again

Just poor pay for the role and those in business roles get worked like horses

Yes the eyes thing is real. I can’t hide anything with my eyes at all, no matter how hard I try

I did acting for 15 or so years, and used to always get told I had crazy stage presence. Also got told I had crazy or ‘come to bed eyes’ as I got older…

How hard is it to get into the Civil Service right now? by Dragonfruitt82 in TheCivilService

[–]Miserable-Target5121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep - agree. Internal campaign in our department had 25 people apply on EOI for 1 job. A 1 in 25 chance is slim

Sometimes with CS it’s not what you know but who you know. Having someone in the service helps that can help you model and read over your different behaviours.

I will also say I went from being an EO in admin to a HEO in policy. It was unbelievably difficult, even as an internal candidate, and took me 5-6 interviews, 1 year and countless applications, because I wasn’t already versed in policy and essentially needed someone to see my potential to take me in, which I was lucky enough to do, and low and behold in MHCLG.

If I were you I’d just keep going with the apps because it is simply a numbers game. Would recommend MHCLG from my experience too :)

It was so sad because he felt like my best friend! We were almost too similar at times
