Pleased got two out of three questions right on University Challenge tonight on French cookery knife cut terms - wonder if @Cornercotcook got all three?
@rawlimark Thanks for posting this experience. It’s been genuinely moving, and I’ve been refreshing my screen constantly to read what happened next. And thank you for being so obviously decent.
@UNISONinLG@UttlesfordDC As a chief executive, if unions didn’t exist I’d be begging someone to invent them. It’s a challenging relationship sometimes, but we are better employers and service providers because of their challenge, so always keen to acknowledge and appreciate @unisontheunion ‘s work

@CaptainLibatron 2/2 So, short of guidance covering the point, I declared my sexuality, adding a phrase like ‘if that matters these days’. I obvs passed my vetting and enjoyed the job but your post really reminds me how few basic rights and signs of respect we could count on c 20 years ago
@CaptainLibatron Thanks for sharing. Reminds me that I had a senior civilian role in the police in 2002 and on filling in my SC vetting form (ie second level, below the really thorough/intrusive DV) there was a box for me to declare anything potentially incriminating or blackmailable. 1/2
Hey language experts/geeks - help me out. Twice in last few days on radio/podcasts (inc Americast fentanyl episode) I’ve heard people use ‘analog’/‘analogue’ instead of ‘analogy’. Is this a recent evolution or have I missed something?
