Yeah last year they didn't check and I didn't have to lie so I was completely unprepared. Not sure if I'll try again at another place but I'll keep the not-living-with-but-still-regular-contactee idea.

I'm not in the city so it seems better, but I don't see why they get to be cool last year but jobsworths today.

Guavanaut posted:It's amazing that instead of it creating an East Asian style culture of wearing masks anyway during flu season just in case, it created a culture of harassing people deciding to wear them. Because of freedom or something. As someone pointed out - the main thing missing from all the endless zombie apocalypse media is how intensely loving stupid it will all be. Even Sean of the Dead was too generous.

Fatty posted:Probably been posted here before, but I just heard this on 6Music and it immediately made me think of the UKMT. They’re a very UKMT band in general. I saw them in London recently. They had one bit between songs along the lines of “gently caress the tories? Obviously. But also gently caress Keir Starmer!”

Colour me surprised:quote:Labour officials could not guarantee, however, that they would overturn the change if they won the next election. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/08/part-time-and-shift-workers-to-lose-up-to-248m-holiday-pay-in-uk-rule-change quote:Ministers are cutting holiday allocations and pay for irregular and part-time workers, at a cost to staff of up to £248m a year. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/08/part-time-and-shift-workers-to-lose-up-to-248m-holiday-pay-in-uk-rule-change Seems to me that the Starmeroid wants the tories to bring in heaps of antisocial legislation and then more or less say there's nothing the new Labour govt can do about it.

Translation - 'When we were briefly challenged about this we realised we had absolutely zero proof we'd tried to contact this person outside of the one email in the junk folder and swiftly realised it was a fuckup to even reject her in the first place.'

Her case was accidentally filed under "Antiguan men who looked at a cannabis once in 1985" and this has been corrected.

(Not UK) I got mine by ignoring what it said on the health ministry's site about age, and typing my actual birth year into the totally separate vaccine booking site, and didn't get questioned at any point. Everyone else at the vaccine centre was old though. Then I got Covid the next day anyway  double immune! Or something...Guavanaut posted:It's amazing that instead of it creating an East Asian style culture of wearing masks anyway during flu season just in case, it created a culture of harassing people deciding to wear them. Because of freedom or something. Of course we couldn't even settle in the middle (i.e. the superior position by definition  ) of letting people wear masks and leaving them alone when they do

Since this is basically the Train Thread with some slight derails, how you can drive a train wrong and damage the cables? I'm curious because it sounds like a very narrow line between "cables being stretched out of place" and "oops train fell on the ground".

Personally, I'd change my profile picture from the rictus-grin-and-suggestive-but-tasteful-cleavage thing she's got going on before I commented on someone else's appearance, but maybe I just need to turn my monitor on.

To be honest I didn't know the pantographs were like, controllable. I thought they were just kinda... the way they are. Like how the train doesn't come with a track gauge selector.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:I’m very confused by this, isn’t it normal for permanent workers to accrue holidays throughout the year too? Yes it is, which I guess means the article isn't clear enough on what's changing. I think it means a temp worker can't book holiday they haven't accrued yet. Ie you can't book a weeks holiday in Jan because you'd only accrue 2.4 days that month. You'd have to wait until March to take a week off. I'm not sure though.
