If you live in Devon and you get any flood warnings, that was me. I'll try work in a 'stairs' comment or something.

I'll keep my ears open for stairs-related comments, preferably puns.

So for valentines I got my other half a big box of her favourite chocolates along with her favourite wine and a bouquet of roses. She got me a Sith TIE Fighter.

I shall marry this woman.

Sorry to hear about your slot issues, MrPawse. But I guarantee it will be worth the wait!

In other news, my wife and I know each other far too well and independently got each other these cards



Edit: I also used the phrase ‘revolutionary vanguard’ in a love letter, possibly for the first time ever..

One of the fun things about monitoring a political figure's public-facing email account is that you get to read people's 2,800 word essay asking Rebecca Long-Bailey to support the decriminalisation of incest.

They can't unilaterally make you as it's a substantive change to your employment contract. Ask for something you really want in exchange like a lot of extra money to gague how serious they are.

Ask them what you get in exchange for losing freedom to move and signing a new contract. Speak to your union rep as well, of you've got one.

I'm pretty sure they can sue you for breach of contract?

Which if your job is important enough for them to want a longer notice period for it, they might well do if you leave them in the lurch.

Conversely, you are never obliged to sign a new contract as long as your existing oen is current, but there's nothing stopping them e.g. not renewing a fixed term contract, making the longer notice period a condition of moving from fixed term to permanent, etc.

Basic suggestion, as with any employment issue, is to get union involved if you're concerned.

Speaking of which, what unions would cover Crisis? It's a big national organisation so I'm sure one of them must and I want to get my dues in straight away this time.

Maybe I'll just join the IWW.

The TUC have a "what union should I join" thing on their website but the first thing is to see if your workplace recognises a union or if there are other union members in the office. And no matter what, also consider joining the IWW as a more radical complementary union.

Freed of the shackles of the EU, Britain is now in an excellent position to negotiate a favourable trade deal with the US, especially because of Prime Minister Johnson’s excellent personal relationship with President Trump!

Someone in the replies suggested that he (stupidly) went to the non-EU queue because WE'RE NO LONGER IN THE EU.

Colleague today was specifically talking about this kind of thing happening at the airport this week, where he was like "should I use the non-EU queue, due to, you know" to the staff and they smiled and said he has a year left before he has to worry about that.
