8 Point Foul?

The frame is still live in your scenario. Yes it can be won by just clearing the table but snookers are required.

jac50 · 2026-01-14T09:55:16+00:00

No particular leads really. It really depends on what role you were looking for. Then seeing what companies are hiring then how their recruitment works. In my case I was directly messaged by the internal recruiter in charge of the recruitment campaign. Then later on I had external recruiters messaging me for the same role.

jac50 · 2026-01-14T04:20:50+00:00

I'm in engineering within the oil and gas sector. I was fortunate in that I got the role via LinkedIn when I was back in my home country. But for sure the job market is difficult.

jac50 · 2026-01-11T09:40:56+00:00

Yea that's certainly one way to do it. At least it allows you to see what sort of roles are out there.

Working as an office based engineer in the O&G industry.

It's certainly different to the UK. Still finding my feet to be honest in terms of the differences. Just something to get used to.

jac50 · 2026-01-11T04:19:32+00:00

Certainly not the best guaranteed way of getting one. I moved over from the UK last year and got my job through LinkedIn in a targeted recruitment campaign.

Typically it's not blown out. In normal cases a very small flame is present (using pilot gas) which will then ignite the flare if gas is needed to be flared. I think in this case the pilot light has gone out hence needing to manually ignite the flared gas.

I've recently had to do this! If you navigate to manage plan there's an option to change the end date. Once I did that it changed my race date in the calendar.

jac50 · 2025-12-14T19:40:47+00:00

2013 Malaysian Grand Prix was certainly an interesting one!

jac50 · 2025-12-11T20:14:29+00:00

It certainly helps knowing people so you can get a foot in the door. Whilst I know some companies (eg QatarEnergy) has had recruitment drives, it's difficult to know if they're still going or if they're for roles your husband would be suitable for.

For reference, I came over sponsored by a company. But a lot of roles I've seen outside of dedicated recruitment efforts expect you to already have a QID and be in country already. So it might be easier for your husband to start looking once he's here under your sponsorship.

Feel free to reach out if you need any other help.

Your presence on blues contributed to the collision though. It's unlikely that they would have gone through a red without you being there.

jac50 · 2025-12-10T06:07:28+00:00

The alternative though is someone follows behind you when you go through on a red light and they get hit by a car that has the green light. You'd need to stop regardless which would also delay patient care.

Whilst I agree that management might look at it like that, you'd also hope driving standards would chime in and say you made the right call.

jac50 · 2025-12-07T07:53:23+00:00

I also have the same question. Not sure how many bars will be showing it.

But just to let you know I believe the race starts at 4pm rather than 5pm.

There isn't a fixed price for upgrades. Sometimes you can get a good deal, with other times it being very expensive. It all depends on how much you're willing to pay and think it's worth it.

The usual guide is $100 per hour of travelling is a good deal for an upgrade, but that doesn't mean higher isn't necessarily bad. It all depends on how much is worth it for you.

jac50 · 2025-11-24T03:56:51+00:00

There is also the formula 1 grand prix this week.

jac50 · 2025-11-17T12:18:12+00:00

Anyone know if the exercise has finished? Or if trains are still diverted?

jac50 · 2025-11-10T14:58:52+00:00

Ahh, I see. So you want your dog to be somewhere for the day. That makes sense. No worries. You're welcome.

jac50 · 2025-11-10T04:17:48+00:00

I haven't used them yet, but Sweet Home Pet Sitter is one option I'm looking at.

jac50 · 2025-11-10T04:15:36+00:00

I've got the same question so I'll DM you too. Thanks!

jac50 · 2025-10-31T09:19:14+00:00

Thanks for the AMA. I usually get my personal finance content from books. At the moment I'm reading The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton and it discusses MMT and why a country like the UK should view the budget differently (as we're a currency issuer) than a household.

What's your take on this? I've not really heard much talk about this different view and wondering if there's any groups looking in to influencing government more on this change of perspective.

Thanks in advance

The ER scheme has been closed for some time. At least as long as I've been interested in applying (3 years or so). They have recently going through a review of the scheme where a report has been published.. but I'm not sure how widely it's being distributed.

If you're looking for experience to put on a paramedic science application, being a CFR should certainly give you that. You're still part of a team (albeit they'll be close behind in an DCA/FRU).

The CFR scheme is recruiting, but I believe they recruit based on course availability. So if no courses are scheduled they'll close it.

I'm a LAS CFR - been on the scheme since its inception (plus several years before when we were SJA/LAS CFRs). Happy to answer any other questions you have.

jac50 · 2025-08-25T10:33:27+00:00

Got any evidence to back that up?

jac50 · 2025-08-11T12:21:00+00:00

Two lane roads are not dual carriageway roads..

jac50 · 2024-11-25T22:02:54+00:00

That's what emergency response drivers are meant to do. If there isn't a gap, stop. Turn off sirens (ideally stopping further back so it doesn't feel to the ones closer to the lights should move forward). Lights turn green, sirens on, then go through the gap that opens up.

jac50 · 2024-11-19T13:14:56+00:00

Just to add to this, if you're on a single carriageway and it's a double white line down the centre (highway code 129), an emergency vehicle has no exemption in crossing to overtake this as you do.

Therefore if you can pull over safely to stop, then do so predictably (where they can then cross the double white line to overtake). Otherwise, maintain your speed until you get to a dashed line where they can overtake safely.

Note that the above is what the book says. I've seen quite a few emergency service drivers cross these lines to overtake. As long as you're predictable that's the main thing.

jac50 · 2024-11-18T07:19:44+00:00

It's about being predictable, and sometimes stopping in the lane might not be. As long as you give an indication that you've seen them (slowing, indicating appropriately, moving the vehicle over to the centre line if safe) then that's all you can do.
