This has to go to an election I think, more time gives Johnson room to do back room deals to secure support for his agreement, even if it does give more time for scrutiny.

Croissant is literally crescent, they named it after what shape it is, it's not like they pulled a new word out of their rear end. This is exactly why I refer to avocados as ballbags, which captures the spirit and intent of the original word in Nahuatl.

Hey comrades I have a crucially important question on British culture Every place I’ve ordered a Full English so far, when it comes with toast, it’s almost always just one piece of toast, but you’ve got enough butter and beans to cover at least two toasts Am I supposed to spread the butter on the toast and then put the beans on it? Or are they just being stingy fucks? I did get like three pieces of toast in Scotland which was nice and should be the norm I think - enough toast to allow for all techniques

Apparently a dbs check hasn't come back and I started this whole process at the end of august ffs Those things can take forever - up to 12 weeks I've heard - and with the start of a school term not so far back, there's probably a big queue. If you haven't already, as soon as you can sign up for the 'updating' service. Costs £13 p.a. but worth it. (Having found myself in catch-22 for an enhanced DBS: No DBS = No work from agencies, No employer to apply = No DBS . When, after many moons, I did manage to get one for a job that ended up not happening because the place closed down before I started - I've made sure to keep it up Why on earth people can't have these things done for themselves I do not know, same information sources, same official channels.)

I don't see this negotiation as incompatible with a plan to get an election going during the extension; if anything, agreeing on a WAB timetable that's three weeks would guarantee the January extension and then it will be easier to get the extension from the EU27 if there's an existing framework in which to debate and possibly pass (and amend!) the WAB. But that does not in any way preclude an election being triggered to bring a second referendum to the table with a different Parliament. Especially since Corbyn already said he's happy to negotiate a timetable. Going "gently caress you" right now would make it easy to cast him as the reason the process gets stopped (and might even cause the EU to waver on granting an extension, causing No Deal Brexit) instead of Boris throwing a tantrum.

Hell, about 13 years ago I applied for a job with G4S in February, got offered a confirmed role subject to vetting in late March and actually started mid July. Vetting takes a while, and it’s not just up to the hiring company- I had to pass on several promising applicants when their former employers or referees didn’t bother replying to me within the window in spite of repeated chasing.

Do you have a reference number at all you could check progress with the DBS place and see when the new job actually submitted it? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/track-a-dbs-application Seems you can get your own basic DBS check quite quickly from this company (NOT the official DBS place) https://www.disclosureandbarringservice.co.uk/ Obviously no good if you need enhanced. Or maybe look for another job.

Failed Imagineer posted:We called that thing "bready-egg-with-a-hole-in-the-middle" when I was a kid, no joke. But then, Cork people have always been extremely literal. My partner from Manchester was over last week and they got a chip butty from a chip shop. They were amused and delighted that they were given it in a baguette and not two slices of bread. I was surprised they would assume that a chip shop would just serve that!
