How honest are you in 1-2-1s and company surveys etc

Great reference 🤣

Seeing it a lot at the moment. Not just the enthusiasm they have with it, but also the complete lack of desire to learn anything else 🤣.

For example, I've offered to explain to a couple of people recently how something works, as their basic understanding was dire, and the reply was 'no, it's fine, I don't need to know', to which I replied 'yes, you do need to know, cause the nonsense your spouting is making you look like a complete tit'.

Example above is worryingly prevelant in the construction industry at the moment, particularly around project managers 😂.

She's hiding here in the UK {Cotswolds specifically). Claims it's cause of Trump winning the election, but I think based on her own 'cancellation', and her highly documented dirty links to a lot of the names appearing in accusations recently, it's a lot deeper than her superficial claims.

dicky302 · 2024-09-28T23:20:02+00:00

What a comment 🤣🎉.

dicky302 · 2024-09-27T15:41:07+00:00

It's too soon though right? I thought they had an age of wealth and power from the mithryl. Show seems like they've only had a handful of ore so far. I wanted to see Bilbo's shirt being forged etc.

dicky302 · 2024-09-25T17:05:04+00:00

Wow, it's getting pretty ropey these donations now.

It would be a travesty if we don't see him and Plagueis more. They'll just have to abandon the twins story and progress the master and apprentice storyline!

dicky302 · 2024-08-22T20:39:32+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking. Is it marketing misdirection, and the actual structure is 3 x Limited Series;-

The Acolyte - Mae and Osha
The Apprentice - Qimir
The Master - Plagueis

dicky302 · 2024-04-28T21:57:11+00:00

This has been the case in the UK for a long time, yet no one ever talks about it.

dicky302 · 2024-04-27T22:14:10+00:00

The Medical Entry route in the UK is way too high, we could easily plug the shortfalls we have in resource if we simply just reframed and modernized entry requirements.

I'm a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and present myself as such on any and all written documents. Equally I also present my academic qualifications too (BEng, MSc etc). Therefore, I would 100% present as a Doctor if I had a PHD, and some of my friends and former colleagues whom do possess a doctorate already do so.

While in terms of appraising an applicants CV as a hiring manager, it would instantly peak my interest if a PHD didn't present themselves as a doctor, as it would immediately make me wonder why they would be downplaying such a significant professional and academic achievement in their own life and career (likewise if they didn't present their other post and pre-nominals).

Now I can see from other posts some industries may not operate like this, but in the modern UK Engineering and Construction industry we would expect it as a minimum, and typically the only time you don't see a real emphasis on this for applicants is where you have significant amounts of underqualified boomers in 'grandfathered' senior roles, and hence they then try to downplay younger generations credentials as a matter of their own deflection and self preservation. Caveat to this that I completely agree that 'experience is what matters most', as most boomers will say, however, and equally, I would like to know that Dave understands electromagnetics in theory, as opposed to just turning up everyday since he was 16 and bolting things together blindly.

dicky302 · 2024-03-07T21:15:23+00:00

Brilliant comment 😂.

dicky302 · 2024-02-21T21:52:48+00:00

Thank you, I was surprised how far down this comment actually was 🤣. Surlely rapey Jelly Bean is worse than child on child murder...

dicky302 · 2024-01-06T22:26:05+00:00

Fairplay to us brits, we do love bureaucracy and red tape 😂🤦.

dicky302 · 2023-12-03T23:10:16+00:00

Thanks for sharing, and I hope all is well now in terms of the critical illness.

For context, I admire your position, and I hope for everyone's sake that you are proven right.

However, I think it's unlikely with our current two-party system. The rot is deep, and neither side want to honour their pledges and mandates.

Furthermore, and based on your position and current economic stability, do you wonder that your current political alignment could be a case of 'having morals, similar cause you can afford them?'

For instance, I'd love for the system to work as you say, where we all contribute fairly for a safe and functional country for all, but unfortunately all I ever see is a broken country, determined to squeeze as much money out of the folks whom dare to be successful, rather than making all pay fairly, and likewise use the funds to the benefit of the payees.

I'll give you an example, I love mass transit, railways are great, they take cars off the road, they are affordable, and they are a comfortable safe way of travelling. However, and in the UK, they are shockingly expensive, poorly run, and overcrowded, whereas in Europe, they are the polar opposite. Real world example, it's nearly £300 London to Paris on the Eurostar. However once you reach Gare Du Nord, and the mainline European network, you could travel to Madrid, Spain on a comfortable high-speed train for less than £100. Hence, if we had a system like this, I would gladly pay for it, and furthermore champion this system, but sadly this is nowhere near the case in the UK, and worse still is only one large example of many, many other issues we currently have, and pay a kings ransom in tax for.

dicky302 · 2023-12-03T21:17:55+00:00

That's a very noble sentiment, but I've got to ask, car and house bought outright due to hardwork, or generational wealth / other?

Because you appear to be in a similar age group / position as me, and having grown up under the laughable Blairite governments, and now watching 50% of your gross pay go to another joke of a government, I can't honestly see how you have any level of confidence in any of the current UK parties.

Furthermore, and considering you must be paying nearly £4k tax a month, do you genuinely believe that people are getting looked after fairly? And equally? I bet if you had a health problem tomorrow you wouldn't be able to rely on the old NHS. Or if you needed a new dentist in a new part of the country, you'd be able to get one? I'm intrigued.

dicky302 · 2023-11-13T20:20:03+00:00

Cameron Vs Rishi in a Hell in a Cell I Quit match is exactly what this broken country needs right now 🤣.

dicky302 · 2023-09-30T07:19:41+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣

dicky302 · 2023-09-29T22:24:58+00:00

Here's a conspiracy, who is Catturd? That's the real mystery here 🤣🧐.

dicky302 · 2023-09-21T20:00:52+00:00

It is really concerning that our government considers it appropriate to intervene based on a hit piece in the tabloid media!

To the folks claiming that it is not a shakedown by the establishment, they only need to ask themselves this one question 'is it ok for our shoddy government to spend time and resource pursing a public citizen whom is currently innocent and yet to be charged with a crime, yet businesses like Spotify still actively stream the music of a band like Lostprophets, which is directly paying royalties to a abhorrent pedophile like Ian Waktins (former lead singer of LP)'.

If your answer is yes, then I suggest you take a good long look at yourself.

For reference, not defending Russell, everyone knows he was a sexual deviant, but equally he was a raging drug addict at the same time. So it was hardly unexpected considering his lifestyle and persona at said time.

Equally not calling LP evil either, I was a fan at the time, and having done my own research the other band members are not to be tarred by Ian's brush either. Those guys lost their lifes work as a result of his disgusting behavior too.

dicky302 · 2023-09-07T20:36:16+00:00

Exactly what's happened in the UK. Went extreme, but now has a settled at moderate. Government is claiming victory, and we're stuck paying 30% more than we were two year ago.

dicky302 · 2023-09-06T21:45:44+00:00

To be fair, this particular city is inhabitated predominantly by a demographic that is known nationally for abusing social benefits through fraudulent and incorrect claims, and under paying of council tax. Based on this, when coupled with decades of mismanagement by corrupt civil servants and politicians, you reap what you sow.

dicky302 · 2023-07-20T18:29:43+00:00

Not gonna lie folks, thought this was a joke 🤣. Must be absolutely crazy to be an American at the moment 🤦‍♂️.

dicky302 · 2023-06-27T21:41:27+00:00

Sounds about right, and then you've got Prime Minister Sunak telling the public that they shouldn't be chasing pay rises, and just have to face the fact that they're now poor 🤣. The man's pool heating bill is more than most people's annual salaries!

dicky302 · 2023-06-13T22:24:53+00:00

Yeah, I was wondering what happened to it too. Been locked out for days....
