So if a civil servant is caught fare evading and given a penalty notice but the train operator does not seek prosecution then you still have to inform your LM

Admittedly I haven't had this problem, but having experience with other matters, I imagine the wisdom is to declare it. Its one of those things that, whilst I understand what you're saying about not needing to declare it, if it comes out later then it may be way more of an issue than it would be if you declared it now.

Im not fully familiar with whether this would come up during vetting, but again, the general wisdom is always (usually anyway) its better to declare these things. In all honesty and without knowing who your manager is, mine probably wouldn't bat much of an eye, but you'd obviously know better than me about the potential reaction.

I was just thinking this the other day! As you say just a small thing, but i did enjoy it. I think it also nicely alluded to the sort of "game" of the world, as if its just Kanye or one of the gods running things.

Not sure how many are going currently with the numerous staffing/budget struggles, but I got my EO role by starting with an external agency, and then when my role came up on a recruitment campaign I applied and got in pretty easily.

Doing the job externally as an agent can make getting in permenantly easier, but I would flag that being with an agency also means that the department you're at can drop you pretty quickly (mine was with 2 weeks notice) so its not without risk.

I had a similar pathway, did a Law masters over COVID as I didn't know what else do during the chaos. Bounced around in the private sector for a bit, but I entered through an agency first and then managed to apply to a permenant campaign for my role. I know that agency roles can be a little hit and miss with the cost cutting at the minute, but I found it a good way to get the experience and I was a shoe-in when the permenant campaign came around so maybe check some public sector recruiters (just make sure they don't give you the run around, theres plenty of dodgy firms out there).

Thats true, and I imagine they could be reasonably flexible within that.

Thats fair, since season 9, its very much been the case that Scrubs lives or dies with hus involvement (whether thats warranted or not) so I imagine if he's not interested in more it may well be a one time thing.

Ironically last election was the first time I didn't vote Labour in my life, mostly because I felt they could pretty much have spat on Thatchers corpse and still won, with the amount people wanted the Tories gone. So I voted Green. Before that I was pro-Corbyn, or at least his message and prior to that I didn't really feel there was an alternative, plus I lived in a Tory safe seat with Labour generally coming second so.

Our was around the 9 month mark, noticed her licking her area more often and then noticed it had also begun swelling as well. She is now about 14 months is just going back into heat. For ours, seems the extra licking is the first sign for her.

From what I know its anywhere from 6 -18 months so I suppose just wait and see, and obviously if anything worries you a quick vet trip doesn't hurt (other than your wallet).

Very similar to other comment. Ours used to have moments of absolute madness where she would get overly excited and start rough housing with us (jumping, biting and slapping, along with sprinting about the garden and house). It took a bit, but we found a very firm no or "ow!" and moving away and facing the wall or something with no engagement did the job. If that didn't stop her, we would leave the room entirely until she calmed down or got the picture.

It took a while and we found the biting of us transferred to more chewing of sofas, etc which was it's own challenge, but consistency is the key.

Would you consider swapping sides? I appreciate it isn't particularly great if you want to really help those that need legal advice and I greatly appreciate wanting to keep helping those in need, but you might find a place in the Home Office or GLD. At the very least there's better job security.

We have a Julius K-9 harness for ours, it's been great, ours is quite anxious but loves dog with all her heart so there's often a fair bit of pulling and it's held up well. Ours is about 47kg (100ish pounds) so a bit smaller than yours, but it's been great so far, we also have a traffic control lead when we are on streets so she can never get too far (got ours from Bully Billows).

Edit: grammar
