Good for you, 99% of the time people will just go fuck it, I can’t be arsed with the hassle and pay. It’s what they’re counting on and why they get away with handing out bogus fines.

Maybe write to the Guardian Consumer page as well. This sort of case is right up their alley.

Was getting ready to go skate and pulled my fucking back! Now laid out flat on the living room floor with shooting pains down my right leg. Fucks sake!
I know a beer garden that’s good for back pain…

Thanks for the support @ciaran @hugo @nazoreth
I’ve sort of come to terms with it. I feel like it’s a failed step on my “5-year plan” (absolutely hate that term) but they’ve laid out a plan basically to fill in the blanks where I didn’t meet the criteria (they’re putting me in for an industry based qualification which was listed as strongly preferred as opposed to essential) so I know they’ve got confidence in me for the future. Just apprehensive that I’m going to both be training my next manager and they’re going to turn out to turn out to be a power hungry prick.

Try and just crack on and be as professional as always. Maybe he’ll hate it and you’ll get another shot really quickly.
The oven has broken. Mid roast!

You can still save it, convert to a pot roast but do it on the hob or crock pot and it’ll be delicious still. Forget about the oven admin until the bank holiday is over.

No available oven elements anywhere until mid June.
Looks like it’s the summer of pot noodles.

What brand is it? There’s fully working prop cooker/ovens at the studio stores. Could see if any match and we could do an element swap 
It’s a belling, the sites I’ve tried a few sites and they all ask you for the specific model number. I presume they will explode into a million pieces if I use the wrong one.
I’m going to try phoning some local repair places tomorrow to see if they have anything. The part is only £20, so it’s just annoying that I can’t get it done myself.
Thanks for the offer though.
How open is it going to be for tourists next month, do you know? I have a week off at the end of June and am kind of in the mood for a mitraillette.
fuck. sorry man. how is he doing?
oh glad to hear it. guess you’re all stuck isolating still then
Isn’t it mental health week. Maybe trying to raise awareness that you can’t tell what people are thinking? But I don’t think I would if I was in his position.

Right, fair enough. Reads incredibly strangely, although I appreciate LinkedIn is potentially even worse than Facebook for absolute nonsesne.
Ah it’s worse. At least Facebook occasionally has videos of pets falling over or whatever. LinkedIn is just a quagmire of humble bragging, virtue signalling, bandwagon riding Michael Fabricants. I have to go on there for genuine networking and finding new jobs and cringe every time it loads up. It’s even got retired gammon who have no career reason to be on there turning up to wind up the snowflakes.

Saw that post and there’s more to it than that, the guy is a mental health/workplace wellbeing guy. Got into it for pretty obvious reasons. It’s not like he’s just sharing the screengrab for the lols. It is pretty intense though.
Agree on LinkedIn generally, every time I find myself scrolling in it I cringe like mad. Good for job hunting though, just update it once a while and let the recruiters come to you!

Right. I’m only ever on LinkedIn to accept a friend request, which obviously happens completely randomly, but I follow @thestateoflinkedin so I know what happens there. But best intentions aside, I can’t imagine being happy that my dad shared a private message I sent him just before I killed myself, and I can’t imagine posting same online if my daughter was to take her own life.
I guess it is still LinkedIn though, and the guy probably wants to sell his services, but that seems a bit much to actually post. Could have described it perfectly well without a screenshot. Feels weird seeing it. That’s none of my business.
