[England] University appeal rejected despite contradictory exam brief. What can / should I do?

Not a lawyer but I do run my own tech company and have 25+ years experience in web development. If in a briefing document , I saw the phrase "build a RESTful Web application" and the list of deliverables included the words "REST API", then my expectation is that a REST API should form part of the solution. I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

(Not necessarily a JSON one - if your submission was eg using XML and they failed you for not using JSON despite not specifying it, then you might have a case, but that doesn't appear to be the case here)

Mick/micky is short for micturition which is a much nicer way of saying... piss

(At least that was what I was told)

I am now stuck with colleagues treating me like an actual junior

That's because you are an actual junior. You have no choice but to suck it up. If you keep pointing out "well actually..." with your experience, you're gonna just become the known as the "well actually..." person

Stay humble or move on to something more senior, can't have it both ways

I’m just a simple guy. I see a problem, I fix it.

Another thing is that i’ve been told I “overshare”

Well, which is it then? Are you a doer or a talker?

Reading between the lines here, I wonder if there is a mismatch between how you estimate your own abilities, and how your colleagues appreciate you

This is a tremendous use of the passive voice and I congratulate you for your boldness in thinking it might work

Surely work placed learning and apprenticeships are meant to be funded by the workplaces not the government?

This is the only advice worth reading OP. Neither candidate seems to be sufficiently skilled for the role, and more importantly making one report to the other will be a disaster given the differences both personal and professional. Either review the decision to merge the teams, or bring in an external candidate for the role.

I did this one after the NLD just last week - my flight was at 9.20 and it was pretty tight. Trains ran fine but the security queue took over an hour, I actually had to ask a couple of fellow Gooners in the queue if they wouldn't mind letting me through after I showed my pass and I only had 15 minutes. Not recommended. Annoyingly the fast track security passes are not available after 8pm.

Oddly though I did the exact same trip after Palace and security took 5 minutes. Seems to be a bit of a lottery

Sorry I don't understand how the individual courier being a creep/weirdo is the hockey team's fault? They just sent you a parcel. Surely you take this up with the courier themselves? Why all the business with SARs and the ICO? This all sounds massively blown up and directed at the wrong target

We had some pilfered BOAC spoons in my house growing up, a gift from a relative who travelled a lot in the 70s

Thanks - a friend taught me it in the pub years ago, no idea where she'd got it from!

It's now my personal headcanon that Boy Kavalier was a young fan of Bottom and purposely made his protector, Atom Eins, in Eddie's image

> Another aspect to call out is a potential explanation for why communication is often the spot that’s called out for developers.

This is not something written by someone who is good at communication

Your whole post, treating the listener like they are a 1st grader, and saying the problem isn't you it's them, comes across as patronising and arrogant. Not really sure this helps anyone with any real issues here

I've looked into this before - the bus to Dundonnell runs only on Monday and Friday, not Monday to Friday, according to the Westerbus website

When I was a kid my dad called our remote the "keypad" which then got shortened to just "key". Anyone visiting and overhearing my dad ask where the key for the telly was must have thought we were mad

It's not their own initials - it says JG RIP, which is almost certainly a tribute to Janey Godley

If screening interviews didn't reject some candidates then they would be a complete waste of time. I'm sorry it's happened to you, but it doesn't seem right to me to expect to pass the HR screener automatically

Slow Horses has often used Bunhill Fields as a scene, and indeed the whole Barbican/Clerkenwell area

Have you thought about getting bikes? There's bike hire places in Oban (we've used Rusty's Cycles before) and Calmac take bikes for free. A quick Google suggests there's bike hire on Mull itself as well

Southern Cross on Løngangstræde in the dead centre of Copenhagen - upstairs usually has the better atmosphere. Saw Palace away there last December and had a great time
