Does kind of raise the question why didn't he sort this glaring obvious problem the last time he was president

why are there people waiting outside training grounds at night with signs begging for shirts? Bad enough when its at the actual game.

My office used to be in the air traffic control tower and anyone that thinks getting a job in ATC requires you to be the best of the best is kidding themselves. You need a handful of GCSEs! What you do need though is training and regular testing to make sure you're up to the job. Not sure I buy...

Aussies 172 ahead with 6 wickets left. Wonder if they'll go for an early declaration and get England in tonight under the lights. The way this tour is going you wouldn't bet against a few wickets falling tonight before being skittled out tomorrow. In other news ECB have accepted a bid from the...

Such a good show. Seems to have been a while since the last series, either that or my memory is worse than I thought! Good excuse for a rewatch.

In my current job we've had two people, myself included, taken to hospital from work. Upon release both were back at their desks within hours of being discharged. From my experience of working for SMEs for the last 15+ years I don't think it's particularly the company we're working for, it's...

It's weird because it's the same machine so they have to have actively removed that facility. if they've got staff to empty the ones that do take cash it can't be that much more work to have them all take cash.

Right on schedule, unlike pubic transport, the council have bizzarly announced today that the lines to Warwick Uni, CBS Arena and UHCW (originally the first line to be built) have been scrapped. Well in official terms they're now downgraded to a 'still planned over time' and they're now...

Think CVB might have meant to post in here not the Trump thread so I'll drag it over to respond to Malc. I've worked in the charity sector, education, local government and private sector and in my experience work culture in the private sector is you very much drag yourself in no matter what...

A very quick glance at the figures shows you that since covid came along the number of NHS employees off with covid-like symptoms has skyrocketed. It's a real mystery.

Is there any actual evidence that people in minority groups are flying planes, running ATC etc without the appropriate training and qualifications?

Is that Andy Streets plan or the VLR? Pretty sure the Cov bit was the last bit planned to be built of Streets plan so I wouldn't be confident we get any of it.

Its on the same route so I guess they're starting with one small bit and then if that works adding to it. Presumably will just be running empty as nobody is going to use it for an actual journey. Maybe one trip just to see what its like if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Earlier this week the council approved 220 metres of track being installed from the Warwick Road / Greyfriars Road roundabout to Ikea.

There is obviously a belief there is room or why are we wasting money developing the VLR. Although I'm not entirely sure why we're reinventing the wheel and can't use one of the many existing systems.

This is a huge part of the problem. There's not many options coming through and the ones that are they seem to coach any raw talent out of them. Look at Izzy Wong, in the England team, picked in the IPL etc then it was decided her action needed 'improving' and she can barely hit the strip to...

HS2 on the route I go. They've currently got the road I take closed for a month to join the existing road to a new road. Closed for a month for less than a metre of tarmac! Added bonus the 3 shortest / quickest alternative routes have all been closed at the same time. My best option now is down...

Don't worry, we're building a light rail from the train station to the Skydome so that will solve all the problems

I live south cov and drive away from the city centre so I'm OK but if I have to go towards town it can easily take 15 minutes just to get out of my road. There seems to be no flow to anything, pardon the pun. The lights will go green at the bottom of my road but they are never in phase with the...
