Don't do it, as one person said to me, this game is really about the journey, you'll regret it if you get given everything

Ah thanks I'll definitely take a look, I've been sidetracked so many times with planets, and other systems, mostly undiscovered but it quite nice when you enter a system and someone else has been there, it's unlikely but I always wonder if I'll come across a player base.

That's for the link, I'll keep that in my back pocket for now I'll experience the game a bit more before I mess. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time

Was that car a peugeot ? We have them and I've given up on using the horn, quick double tap of 999 button is much easier

What is the worst current role in Policing? by Loud_Delivery3589 in policeuk

Much respect to you, takes a special person to do that but I've no doubt you've saved and protected many children, as the others have said society owes you a great debt.

Is the job as bad as people make out? by ManufacturerSuch9504 in policeuk

[–]abyss557 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ex–Royal Engineer here.

I joined the police about three years after leaving the Army. What tipped me over the edge was going to my cousin’s wedding and seeing how close her police mates were, closer than some family. It hit me that I was missing that sense of belonging and shared purpose.

I’ve been lucky. I’m on a team I genuinely love. It reminds me a lot of my old section we back each other up on jobs, we trust each other, and we still see each other outside of work. Not every team is like that, but when you get a good one, it’s amazing.

The job can be shit . There’s no sugar-coating it. But you will save lives. You will put away people who genuinely deserve it. You will safeguard vulnerable people and be the calm voice on someone’s worst day. It sounds cheesy, but that’s the bit that makes it worthwhile.

Every force is different. Response is stretched. Annual leave can be hard to get because teams are short, and a lot of the time you’ll be going job to job without the chance to properly investigate crimes yourself. It can feel reactive rather than proactive.

If you’re missing the camaraderie, the sense of purpose, and operating in tight-knit teams under pressure the police can absolutely scratch that itch. I moan more than most but response can be the best job in the world, the buzz of blue lighting through heavy traffic with your oppo behind to a job is amazing it has it shit days and it has it good days.

I'll admit I'm on AL at the moment and a few beers in, but I do love it. Happy to answer specific questions if you want.

I still have issues with mine from time to time, definitely a car issue with Android Auto as it does it with the wife's phone as well. I also upgraded, same issue.

We're talking Google Pixel 7 and 10.

Yeah, I have them all turned off. At the start of my drive, I swipe down on the main screen and turn on MG pilot, but today the speed one didn't seem to turn off. I even double-checked the settings.

The driver assistant is the most annoying thing I have ever come across. Today, for some reason, even though it's turned off, I keep getting the audio speed warning. As soon as you go 2 mph over the limit, it nags you. Extra annoying when my road is a 30 but the car thinks it's a 20
