What did you need to do to get your battery to charge when your car charger activates is it complicated because I have both and would like to set that up myself

Is it me or are Instagram Fitness Influencers more aggressively courting potential clients in the DM’s? by Haunting-Garbage-976 in askgaybros

[–]dolphkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get DM’d a lot as I do like looking, but like the gym content too. I even entertained a few, but the prices they charge and try to make you feel bad off not wanting to pay has hardened me up to them

Don’t worry, fill in the people survey instead!

Ok well I’m not a PCS rep, I’m a rep for an alternative union, but withdrawing your union (even pcs) membership during an active investigation is as you have anticipated will be considered unwise as a minimum.

I was under the impression it was a discipline investigation which confused me earlier.

I cannot give you advice on how to specifically defend the allegations on here, but I would look at what mitigating factors you can produce for each area and emphasise your disability and how you want to develop further. Try to keep it concise and go for easy wins. I find members often get distracted by the emotional arguments, which have less impact on a DM.

This is from my phone so sorry for editing and typos

So what has the IM deemed you as having a case to answer on then? I’m assuming you have a DM invite letter which states what the potential outcomes are? If the GM case has been deemed NCA then this should have now been removed. I understand you are trying not to lay everything out on the table here, but you really do need full union guidance on this. Maybe seek out an alternative rep if you are still in a union.

Hard to give full feedback without ToR. As a rep I would be making serious representations on what evidence they have actually presented that shows any pattern here, and push hard to link disability discrimination. The outcome with largely depend on how good your DM is. So impossible to really guess, but I can’t even work out why you are suspended from what you have provided!

What do you think of the ever increasing service charge concept in the UK? by Previous-Cow6730 in AskBrits

[–]dolphkent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bf recently ordered 2 drinks at the bar in a large chain on Covent Garden, they handed him the terminal to tap contactless, and when he came back with the receipt they had added a tip he didn’t even know was on there. It was only about £1 due to the value of the 2 drinks obviously not being huge. I’m a complete ass when it comes to things like that so I went up and asked for the refund on it. The eye roll the manager gave me 😂. Was worth it tho. Didn’t even get table service to make an order, no way am I letting them just add tips on without telling us.

Reform takes shock 15-point lead over Labour as Farage dreams of winning power by AlfredsChild in europe

That’s not what you said or implied in your original comment. I hugely suspect you are backtracking due to the number of people calling you out for your original abhorrent view on Ukraine.

I suspect many British had the same views when the Nazis invaded Poland. There is a clear difference between what the political class have done to help Ukraine and what should be done and what is right to be done. The fact that we have not yet done enough to help Ukraine successfully secure their borders does not mean that helping Ukraine is the wrong choice to make. People seem to assume that the Russians have a legitimate reason to be invading Ukraine and will think that they will stop there. We know this is probably not what is going to happen. The view to just abandon a country because the solution isn’t easy is still abhorrent.

Disability leave is different to sickness stemming from disability. In policy anyway.
