I remember reading all about if Russia invaded the Ukrainian they would steam roll through and be unstoppable
Big pinch of salt in every report
Desire or desperation?

£240k a year is a chunk of change.
Presumably as they are no longer employed by the RAF they are free to work for whoever they like?
Absolutely. It's a moral decision though, one that they may want to ponder with Chinese activity towards Taiwan, South China sea claims against Australia etc. They may be training pilots to fight against our allies, possibly our own pilots at some point. That would make a fun reunion back at base. They can not claim not to have been warned, that they did not see this coming, so yes, they are free to do it (I assume) but accept the criticism and consequences of what you are doing.

The pre authorisation on cards at Tesco pay at the pump now being £120.00. So if you do not have £120 in the bank, you cannot use pay at the pump. Dread to think how many people get caught by that at the end of the month. Still, at least Tesco will have plenty of staff on to deal with the increase in the number of people paying in the shop. Nope, normally one person who is generall more interested in stacking shelves than serving customers.
Former pilots, desperate? That desperate. Come on.

Kid at my wife's school. Just needs to be in a proper special school not just with sen staff.
That's a 3rd member of staff in a&e this year by him
My wife had done her hour with him and 5 mins later her friend got assaulted
He isn't safe for regular school and not fair on staff to work with him.

Simply not enough "Special" Schools in the borough, Corbets Tay is massively oversubscribed, and so is Hall Mead which isn't a special school but has an outstanding record with SEN pupils. (Pushes house prices in the catchment area through the roof!)
The boroughs main method of dealing with SEN pupils is to try to offer extra support in Mainstream schooling. Most of the times this works well, especially if the SENCO at the school keeps the same assistants with the same pupils all the time. (My 21-year-old Asperger's son still remembers his fondly)
Obviously in the instance you posted about this is not adequate, and staff must be protected. One thing is for certain though, it is not the pupils or his parents fault, the system is to blame. Hats off to your wife though doing what she is doing, they play such an important part in these kid's lives.

Just bought a £500 battery powered brush cutter to re-establish the local footpaths on the field near us. So far...only a couple of nice comments. Just waiting for the complaints because I'm cutting "nature"....I've warned the local councilor, he's on my side. But somebody will hate.....just because.

I am going to be stopping using pay at the pump now If they want to play that game, they will have to staff the kiosk sufficiently. This is a new thing at Tesco as last week it was only pre authorsing a pound.
Appointment at the Hospital today to get the stitches out of my hand. Surgeon had said she couldn't see a reason I couldn't start paying again within a few weeks of the op, but today she said not to risk it and give the bone another 4 weeks to fuse otherwise it may rip the screw out.
Have to play my match play comp final by the end of the month, so looks like I will have to concede, so all those tough games giving lots of shots away were all for nothing

Whilst I echo your sentiments entirely my wife doesn't work in Havering (yet) after a decade of being together she is finally going to look to move next year. Can't understand why on earth she has worked in Newham so long.

Yes we are at war (small 'w') with China.
Really: they have accepted very, very expensive and unique training while getting well paid and have retired on a comfortable pension deal.
I was offered a very considerable chunk of change to lecture in China but I knew it was 'inside' knowledge over the sensitive area of my expertise that was jacking up the fees. Contractually I was under the OS Act but 'free': I declined: patriotism; possibly.
These guys aren't stupid and know exactly why they are attractive to the Chinese and that is why IMO the offers should not have been accepted. In my book its treason.

I understand your point and admire your decision not to be have been suckered by the Yen but treason is a very strong word to use towards these pilots. Selfishness and greed yes, but not treason

Will the club not give you some latitude, especially as it's a final? if I was your opponent I'd be happy to extend as to win it that way would be hollow; I'd rather lose it on the course than claim it on the rulebook. .
Alas the club will move to winter course at the end of the month, with mats and forward tees. It's also the club presentation night the 2nd week of Nov and this particular comp is provided by the current captain.

Ah, see the dilemma, my sympathies. We were fortunate in that we were struggling to get an agreeable date for the foursomes final & the pro said as long as it's done before the next year's one starts then no problem.
To his credit my oppo has no issues leaving it till the last couple of days, to play. I'm tempted to give it a go but, in reality it's only a screw holding it together and the prospect of a heavy shot ripping it out doesn't bare thinking about?

Think that be more than just a tingle in the fingers....
Yes it's a 3.5 cm long screw though the finger tip and down through the 1st joint. Ouch?Think that be more than just a tingle in the fingers....
