Jaeluni Asjil posted:I'm going away for a few days tomorrow (finally getting to use an airbnb voucher for a cancelled trip over a year ago). It includes 3h on a train. If you go through Bristol Temple Meades you can see the junction remodel I worked on and after 9 weeks of night work I now hate trains.

Guavanaut posted:pro tier forums name When the pandemic started Network Rail demanded that all workers wear masks as well as the usual PPE. This meant that our glasses would quickly steam up and make work impossible so people either took off the mask or the glasses. Network Rail would send people round to worksites to photograph workers to make sure they were complying with the mask rule. We used to call these guys the 'rail perverts.' Jaeluni Asjil posted:As a former employee of a large, popular, national transport company - ahem ... Looking at trains I get, well not really but I see tons of trainspotters if I'm working near a station. They'll coo over the various engines but they never say "Oh look, they're using fast clips on this part of the track, not pan clips." or "Is that a HPSA point machine with power link? Got to get a picture of that!"

Failed Imagineer posted:Some interesting analogies which lead me to believe you have definitely hosed a train Buddy... Jaeluni Asjil posted:I'm saying nuffin', whistles nonchalantly. Tampers and the like are one of the few machines I like seeing on the rail even if occasionally they mess up and turn a four hour shift into an eight hour shift. The idea of jacking and packing an entire length of rail with hand tools makes me vomit.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Normal island. Couple of pages back put that's just unbelievable quote:A jobcentre security guard told a disabled man with a chronic bowel condition that he was not allowed to use the staff toilets, but that there was a bucket that was kept behind the building “for claimants to use”. quote:It later emerged that the guard had been mocking AJ, and there was no bucket in the location he had directed him to and no way to access the back of the building. just loving disgusting.

This is pretty cool Betty Campbell: Statue of Welsh black heroine unveiled quote:A monument to honour Betty Campbell, Wales' first black head teacher and black history campaigner, has been unveiled in Cardiff. This though: quote:It is believed to be the first statue of a named, non-fictional woman in an outdoor public space in Wales. Didn't realise that, a bit embarrassing.

goddamnedtwisto posted:AFAIK it's "remove red tape", i.e. allow anyone on a provisional to haul 40 tons of flammable liquid around with no restrictions on hours worked etc. so the poor overworked haulage company owners don't have to actually pay a driver what they're worth. That makes a lot of sense. (for him to say that not in any actual reality)

One of the guys I work with did 4 years for, I think, manslaughter and he's a pretty decent driver. It can be difficult for people with criminal records to get a job so as long as they're competent then this could be a real route into employment for them. EDIT: My mum has decided that at 78 it's a great time to learn Welsh but now she doesn't want to say the Welsh word for fish (pysgod) because she says it's rude and irreligious not that she is religious. bessantj fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Sep 30, 2021 |

Catpetter1981 posted:These are Tories operating the program though. The only route it will lead into is indentured servitude and exploitation of the prisoners assigned to the jobs, and enrichment of the connected private contractors hired to run the program. Well I was thinking it more for people who have come out of prison and would find it difficult to get work. I'd hate to think of the logistical gently caress ups that would happen if they used actual prisoners. Oh dear me posted:Tell her to use a k instead of a g, it is the Cornish way Good idea however, there is no k in Welsh and I don't want to confuse the poor lass anymore than she already is. I asked her "how are you" yesterday and she replied first with the Welsh for "goodbye" then "have fun."

Ah right. His terrible decision really mount up.
