Oooh - which Marsh?

The last time I was eligible to vote in an election in Wales was the 1997 General Election, so in a sense this isn't my battle to fight; but - what he said 👇

Thank you *so* much for the earworm!!

Blimey - sending best wishes.

So sorry to hear this - what's the timeframe on selection for sacking/redundancy?

And it's only April ...

Congratulations!

A reminder that we did this.

Looking at the later photos in that thread, I think it's fair to say that he grew into the chin as he got older ...

I like the (no doubt apocryphal) story of the bishop who seemed to be able to find a text for every occasion. Asked to bless a new maternity ward, he went with 1 Corinthians 15.51: "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed"

I hope all goes smoothly. And that you can have something to eat later!

Although I'm not sure that having it in the kitchen (or rather having the kitchen by the organ) will do wonders for the tuning ...

We had a briefing recently that an AI tool is being used as part of our admissions process (although not to make the final decisions). What really had me screaming, though, was that the acronym/abbreviation is HAL - has no-one in the relevant team seen/read '2001'?!?!

(Absolutely no contest!)

You're moving?! Or is that an "at some point in the future, no idea when but it'll happen at some point" when?

I get that, and I'm not downplaying (or not intending to downplay) the many many disadvantages of losing a job, but I wasn't sure whether Vole might finally have got to the point of having had enough, and the downsides of leaving might just be felt to be better than the downsides of staying.
