I think you overlooked one aspect of the entire situation. When you experienced the two white ticket attendants, you were alone unlike when you experienced the black attendant ....you were with your family. That may have been the ice breaker there. He has a job to protect and by extension family to feed. We don't know if in the past he's been reprimanded for whatever reason, with cameras around, he just had to issue you the ticket fine. If on the other hand, he gave you a fine but let go of another passenger with same issue, then you can complain with your full chest out. The last time a black attendant checked my railcard and went on to the next passenger, when we alighted at the station I was getting off from, our eyes caught and he thumbs me up  ....I'm sure he thought he was going to use me as a scapegoat that day but was disappointed ehizario2012: So immediately I got the ticket, I went online to read more and saw that I needed to buy tickets before boarding, except at some small stations where tickets aren't sold. By the rules, I was wrong and accepted it. That's why I immediately paid the £50.
But that still didn't take away the anger I felt towards the guy, especially after two whites had attended to me without any fuss. It was truly an if looks could kill moment... But in retrospect, I thought about his constraints. He might not get away with things the whites would get away with.
Finally, it's better to know ones place at all times. Regardless of the accomodation, we should never forget the deep fault lines - natural fault lines.
Thanks everyone. We good. |

Romance › Re: My Wife Watches Cartoons More Than My Kids At 37 Help! - Man Laments by bigtt76(f): 2:19pm On Dec 10, 2023 |
Several factors come to play here. First is she might have caught the bug to bond well with the kids on a common ground which is the cartoon movies. She might have also been missing her childhood days. Secondly, its easier to catch up on cartoons more than real movies. I still crave my Thundersub, Voltron cartoon movies  I would suggest you join in the crase just to be part of the fun when she's relating with the kids on movies watched. You got a lovely family man. DyshApp: A married man has anonymously taken to social media to complain about his wife’s addiction to watching cartoons with their children.
According to him, his wife was always excited to watch and sing along to the cartoon with their kids and she would narrate the stories to them if they missed them.
According to the man, something must be wrong with his wife. While admitting that she has not failed in her roles as a wife and mother to his kids, he reiterated his worry that he felt she should have grown past cartoons.
He appealed for help to fix the cartoon problem.
In his words: "I feel like something is wrong, I don't really get her sometimes. She doesn't even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I'm missing out on something great.
“My wife, 37 years old, enjoys watching cartoon even more than our kids. When I say cartoon, I mean animated movies. Our first boy is 14 years old down to our last who is currently 4 years old. They’ve turned the home into a cartoon home. They are soo addicted, they sing their songs, do their dances and discuss those things all the time. My wife at her age will be running as if something strange was happening and she forgets herself to be an adult sometimes. I’ve tried to explain to her that I don’t really like it, I don’t complain because they are being happy but, I don’t understand my wife’s addiction. Even when the kids aren’t around, she’ll be watching animated movies alone.
Once they get home, she’s going to narrate all she watched to them and even demonstrate with actions some funny/emotional scenes. I feel like something is wrong, I don’t really get her sometimes. She doesn’t even watch the movies I want us to watch together unless I really encourage her. She acts like me not watching those their cartoons with them, I’m missing out on something great. Is there something I can do to help her? It’s somehow bothering me.
Kindly note that, she’s fully employed and still does her duties as a wife and a mother. I don’t have any problem on that side, I just feel she’s addicted to animated movies when actually, she has grown pass it.”

They still want to maintain the international reputation of the educational sector so they won't scrap student visa or psw but rather reform it. All those 7 months courses that many piggy-back on for psw would be scrapped. PSW may now be reserved for postgraduate research students and limited to a year instead of two. Raalsalghul: Quick question Zahra.
Why not just cancel student visa for international students and scrap the psw? |

Take the NHS job, look for shared apartment in Bristol to stay for a while to get your footing before moving fully with your family. You should look at staying at the outskirts from Bristol which might be cheaper. Council jobs are a bit of a risk owing to the recent bankruptcy most are plunging into, one need to be careful. Same with civil service jobs which government is planning on downsizing to a level by 2025 Oyi12: Hello elders, please I need your opinion on this. I got 2 offers with sponsorship. The first is with council in a day centre while the second is a Band 5 with the NHS but in Bristol. Considering how expensive Bristol is will it be wise for me to move there with the band 5 salary with my family? There is prospect for me to secure a higher grade in the NHS in future but I am just scared of because of how expensive Bristol is.
House rent is about £1,500 average while i stay in a town where i pay less than £1,000 for rent. We are a family of 4 and my spouse hasn't gotten a job yet. |

You can't be eating ogiri, iru or okpehe laden soup all day and expect your mouth to be smelling like rose flower the next morning when you wake up  Brush your mouth after every meal and right before you go to bed. Also ensure you brush off the meal on your tongue ...as in brush the whitish thrush off your tongue until your tongue glows in its pinkish glory. Mercylike: Is it normal to wake up and experience mouth odour?
I don't like talking to people very early especially when I just wake up bcoz there is this odour when I smell whenever I try to smell my own mouth..
Is it normal or it is something that has to be treated?
If i have brush, I don't have any odour from morning till night except for night to morning sleep.. |

Unfortunately, she's of that age 23 when they try all sort of things, you can only pray that she changes ....she will soon though. Your friend should just tolerate her Draslo: This is not for me. My sister na church worker
My guy's sister is nothing you write home about. Their father has money, like 3 Rolls-Royce parked in the compound type of rich but the girl is very promiscuous. Many big boys on the island have had a fling because she must attend every raving bash. Her SM pages are full of filth in different countries. You'd easily call her online olosho sponsored by politicians. Her friends are worse cos they don't come from that kind of money. This girl is just 23 and already a red flag amongst guys. Even guys that have never seen her unclothedness will claim to have slept with her and people will believe as long as the guy has class.
My guy is getting married in January and doesn't want his only sister there. Can she still be saved? |

As far as you mention previous work experiences for the last 3 years, you would required to submit a work related reference (UK or Naija depending on what you listed). Your chances are higher if you list a UK work experience shaa. Yes Academic references (PT or DS) are suitable but then you would need to explain employment gaps. What a lot of people don't realise is that those part time jobs in the UK can serve as work experiences and references gotten from them. Phil46: To avoid all these dramas, if a UK reference isn't mandatory for a job, would it be okay to just use a personal tutor or dissertation supervisor (for those on student visas) plus a Naija reference instead? |
Travel › Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by bigtt76(f): 8:06am On Nov 23, 2023 |
Exactly. Most times in addition to requesting references, your employer or you may be asked for your past payslip. They also go as far as checking up the employer to see if they exist. kwakudtraveller: I think that this is the catch for most boot camps, the promise of a reference and putting them on your CV. I sure say most companies now don dey clock this format. |

Attend the disciplinary hearing and thereafter resign. If you resign without the disciplinary hearing, it means that you are guilty of deception and ran away with it. At the hearing you stand the chance to explain your situation better and understand why this issue came up. Resigning without this would be depriving you of valuable lessons learned. Avoid using bootcamps as work experience.
