people attending meetings who have another meeting directly after but only mention it 2 minutes before they need to leave.
had i known two (key) people had a hard stop i would have encouraged wrapping up sooner to ensure actions had been agreed with the right people present
My timing belt is knackered.
To be fair if a meeting is going to overrun the allotted time Iâm leaving at the finish time anyway unless there is a very good reason itâs overrun.
I try to schedule for 50 or 55 minutes not an hour. Everyone needs a loo/coffee/fresh air break.
I did have a client who liked starting at odd times (like 8 minutes past the hour) as they thought it made Zoom/Teams more reliable. But everyone just showed up at five to the hour anyway.
Wet belt or the non silly french idea type?
Yes??
So the 1.2 stellantis/peugeot/vauxhall/ford eco boost engines are designed that the timing belt goes through the oil resevoir, and common sense is pil degrades rubber and those engines are renowned to basically fall appart post timing belt change, word on the street is theres a timing chain conversion recall coming.
Other engines have it in the side of the engine, like the sensible lot that they are.
Pretty sure itâs normal and on the side then
Managed to splash hot oil up my arm whilst cooking dinner. Didnât think it was too bad. But now, a couple of hours later, it stings loads and has gone a decent red in the areas that got splashed. Going to be a sore night sleeping I think!
No blistering though, so superficial only thankfully.
Spoiler alert!! I checked ACC before doing Wordle and that ruined Wordle for today 
I deleted the post. @Giminion should know better than to screen shot a wordle rather than the share image.
I thought it was yesterdayâs! I didnât realise the time!
Sign out the mess Webley
I shouldnât be left unsupervised
Wish Iâd seen it. I lost my streak today
The trick with those, if you find yourself with one consonant gap that loads could fill in, is use guess 5 to guess something using as many of those possible letters as possible.
So, with today, at guess 5, guessing something like BLIMP would have told you the missing letter.

Bring a lizard into the house, let it go and see how long it takes the human to catch it.

So now the IPOC want to try and discipline Sgt Blake for gross misconduct after the shooting of the criminal Kaba. Even the Met donât want that.
Will the armed response officers now throw their authorisations on the table and say âitâs just not worth itâ?
An IOPC Persecution always goes down the Gross Misconduct route after theyâve lost a court case, they love a second bite of the cherry.
The rationale usually is that the CPS donât charge unless they think they can prove the case beyond reasonable doubt, now since the Gross Misconduct standard is âon the balance of probabilitiesâ they argue that just because the criminal trial failed doesnât mean that a Gross Misconduct hearing will.
What we are seeing a lot of is the IOPC referring cases that have no hope in hell of leading to a conviction, the CPS charging because itâs a Police suspect and they donât want to take the blame for NFAing the case, trials that go nowhere at great expense and then the IOPC ordering a Misconduct Hearing based on the fact CPS charged.
