  • Quick question: what is it about your current role that you dislike?

    Follow up question: what is the current company like in terms of gardening leave? I know of many large organisations where the 3 month period is about being fair/reasonable to the employee if they are being sacked, and...

    Morning all
    Filthy weather from about 8pm yesterday through the night. Blue skies just before 6 this morning and a chilly 3oC, so we headed out. 20 minutes in there was a brief squall, and then about 50 minutes in the heavens opened with sleet.
    It eased up maybe 20 minutes later,...

    There are references to other articles, but not to the research or the project. The original article in the Telegraph just referenced its own stories about Shakespeare. Your link is nothing to do with the project.
    If the references were actually to the project, then you'd have provided a link,...

    Is this the same source that spewed a story the other week about having one performance of a play for a particular group of people was disgraceful discrimination and that white middle-class men must be allowed to go to see something they don't want to see anyway?

    Interestingly, the claimed...

    Morning all
    A bit precipitous earlier, mostly when we were about 3km from home and from then until we got in the door, so only a meagre 7.52km walked.

    It's probably either/both:
    1. Save on flight tax because the tax on flying to Dublin is a lot less than the tax flying to Mexico, and then if you are just In Transit through LHR on the other flight then you pay a minimal tax.
    2. She needed one more sector/a couple more points to stay BA...

  • If you've already applied through one agent and another phones you about the same role, then you tell the second one that you are already being represented. That saves you being shafted by both agents.
    You don't tell the agents about where you are applying, you ask them who the client is. If they...

    Morning all I have successfully completed another circuit around the sun.

    MMtSH woke me at 5:18 this morning, and in the end I got up at 5:40.
    12,000 steps and 10.6km later, we're both tired, he's gone to sleep and I've gone to work.
    Overnight drizzle has given way to...

  • You'll have to ask HMRC if it is the total closure, but it will not include repaying the loan.
    You'll need to go to the company that provided the loan to get them to close it off, which they will probably only do after you've got confirmation from HMRC that you have settled the tax side of it....

    Mildly damp on our walk earlier, and due to me not being able to get myself moving, we only managed 7.97km.

    Some gardening was achieved yesterday, including finishing cutting the grass, planting a quince tree, staking an apple that wasn’t growing straight, digging up some ground elder, repairing a fence and shredding whips. More shredding and weeding to be done today, and maybe...

    A power outage at 13:00 today meant I finished work early (about 16:00, but billed a full day on advice of project management), so I’ve probably trimmed 3/4 of the lawn, probably half an hour more to finish it, and then the big mower is due to be fixed on Tuesday, when I’ll be able to cut the grass...

  • No way of checking, but you can tell them that they can represent you for a period of x days/weeks, provided they can confirm that the client has stated that they will accept candidates from them.
    Make sure that is in writing....

  • Looking at your post history, you seem to have opened and closed a few companies.

  • Tell your "friend" to keep looking.
    I've had interviews for stuff and been told I've got it, but that the date was being pushed back. Never trust a contract until you've got paid for your first period of work.
