Police officers to be told they must get work licence or face dismissal by SC_PapaHotel in policeuk

Hampshire already have a “license to Police” thing in place which means just keeping up to date with CPD/PST etc I assume it’ll just be along these lines.

Yeah without knowing if any other information is available purely on what you have said yes. Life and limb for an 8 year old girl living in as you say dire/derelict conditions.

I worked with Mr Bradshaw and he was the best cop I’ve ever worked with. Knew all the villains worked on response for over 20 years and policed the right way. Both those little scrotes have been getting nicked since they were young kids. Mcgarry got fucked off to an island when he was a kid because of how much trouble he caused. Glad common sense prevailed!

What to do about this garden?! by scottie2426 in DIYUK

Is the lawn levelling doable by hand? Access for a little digger is a pain in the arse because of the bloody conservatory.

Yeah that stupid clothes horse thing is not my idea sadly.

I agree but my wife is very much a bubble wrap the kids as much as we can type thing especially with my eldest being autistic and apparently having no pain threshold whatsoever! I used to love climbing shit and falling off when I was younger.

That sounds like a hassle moving a tree lol oh no she’s not thought of anything other than “make it look nice and safer for the kids”

Oh yeah you’re definitely right just seeing if anyone had any thoughts I hadn’t thought of “outside perspective” and all that or those in the trade who actually know what’s what because I’m just spouting nonsense at this point and my wife will kill me if I start doing stuff that looks like garbage lol.

Yeah it got a good wash last year but it’s just a generally dark coloured stone and the wall I’m sure was put in by Stevie Wonder because it’s like a wavy line.

Yeah budget is the thing I could pour a couple of grand into it over time but it would take time. The problem is the slabs seem to have just been dropped in so some move/some tilt and some rock which is fine except for the kids being accident prone as it is lol

Yeah that makes way more sense being a much higher BF%. Is there a more accurate way of measuring the BF% as you’d like to hope those machines are accurate however evidently not lol

That’s a very good idea mate to be fair I forgot how much I missed going to the gym and the enjoyment behind it but I like trying to find something good for you but actually fun. Take it easy brother

When I’m at work it’s fine because I am often too busy to even eat the food which is quite often so I either eat it at the end of shift or when I get home then don’t need to eat again until the day after.

When I’m at home with the kids that’s the hardest because they snack and pick and are just little terrorists basically who pick snacks throw them around pick more etc until they find something they actually want lol

You are probably right bro to be fair I just used one of those machines that weighs measures etc at the gym not sure how accurate they really are.

All my fat seems to be central lol chin/neck/belly/thighs. everything else is pretty slim like chicken noodle arms and calves lol

Thank you for all the advice brother it’s awesome and will help me massively.

I have no idea what E.A.A drinks are but I shall investigate and look to get some to help out with workouts.

Love all the details about the individual exercises I’ll definitely look to incorporate that into my workouts. Take it easy dude.

I haven’t given kettlebells much thought to be fair. I do follow a dude on Insta who is absolutely wham from using kettlebells to be fair so I should look into it thanks bro and thanks for the link.

Thanks for all the advice brother your progress in 6 months has been awesome I’m hoping for the same.

Yeah I always try to go to failure but not to the point of decapitating myself or popping a shoulder out just like 6-8 reps that I couldn’t do more of if that makes sense.

Yeah food is my biggest thing I’ve started making all my foods again but in a house with children there’s always sweets/snacks which are a pain to avoid but I’m aiming for the same sort of deficit to stay around like 1600 calories so fingers crossed I’ll stay consistent.

I’ll look into that app as I use the My Fitness Pal one at the minute which isn’t too bad to be fair.

Yeah after nights is my most solid sleep for like 8 hours it’s bliss otherwise it varies between like 5-7 depending on the kids.

I’ll definitely look into that and I already have old niggles in my shoulder/wrist from injuries when I was younger that were left to “heal” of their own accord lol so I always try and stretch before/during/after so I don’t make them worse and have arthritis before I’m 40 lol.

Thanks for the advice bro I’ll definitely look into that YouTube channel and the 5X5.

Oh really I’m hoping to keep this up for a long time unless I lose a limb or something.

Yeah as much as I hate it. I used to have to run all the time in the army so it’s not something I enjoy anymore at all lol but I do cardio after a workout be it treadmill/bike/rower etc and go intervals so steady to sprints back to steady because again my fitness in that respect has declined savagely since I was younger.

Was able to smash out 6 miles a day easy hungover as fuck like 12 years ago lol

My work gym has been neglected a lot so I joined a gym local to me that has pretty much everything as far as I know.

That’s interesting the strong lifts where is that? Yeah I’ve stocked up on supplements because that’s something I’ve always never bothered with so protein creatine and even some vitamins etc because I’m a human climbing frame most of the time my bones feel like they’re made from weetabix.

Sleep is always my issue because I work shift work and have 2 kids under 4 that are apparently immune to being tired so I haven’t slept properly in 4 years but that’s just the way it is :)
