In the news

I know nothing about it other that teachers are taught that there are 8 or 9 different forms of intelligence (depending who's training you). No idea at all if it's contentious.or simplistic.

It they're taught it the way you describe, then it certainly is. It's a way of categorising children and treating them according to those categories, rather than categorising behaviours and seeing that a child might have the potential to learn others. "Hey, kids, you get to play at Myer's Briggs just like the adults."

How is this working out?

One of the reasons drivers tend to earn so much (in my experience, at my company) is because there are not enough drivers so they are all offered fairly regular "overtime" at double rate to meet demand.

So even the places that offer good service don't have enough drivers.

It's not uncommon for there to be action short of strike and for the drivers en mass to reject any overtime, this brings services to its knees.

Thanks for that info. Always good to have confirmation of real life rather than mediated through the print media or purposefully misleading media briefing from ToCs or Ministers.

Not great. Left SE10 at 8. We're just outside of Folkeatone with about 50 mins if traffic before we get to Eurotunnel. And then there is a three hour minimum delay when we get there.

Yeah, but I'm not talking about leaders. This is more like failing to properly understand their part in a shared task because they don't realise they need to check in with what everyone else is doing rather than assuming they already know.

Maybe that's it...they believe themselves to be leaders in any context so act like (bad) ones even in peer groups.

Took us 8.5 hours to make it from Blackheath to a Eurotunnel train. Would usually take us about 2h15 including check in time.

No aggro though, which was nice. Was expecting to see frayed tempers.

Bon Voyage!

Did you have a fixed time for your train or Flexiplus?

Fixed time. They just piled cars onto the trains as they got to the front of the queue.

By car?

How come?

(will be doing a similar journey soon)

Have you not been reading the news? Chaos at Dover and Eurotunnel Folkestone. French passport control taking longer (thnx brexit).

Massive queues.

French are saying they asked to put more border control people on the UK side and the gov rejected it earlier this year.

Liz Cheney empowered trump and helped him to stack the SCOTUS, and now she’s pretending like she’s been against him all along.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nadhim Zahawi, has been sending threatening letters to people investigating his tax affairs. So this person published one

Looks like he dotted his i’s and crossed his t’s, good on him.

Shitheads shouldn't have given them a massive majority then, it's not like they changed.

That definitely sounds like the Tory cunts.

It now takes longer to physically stamp each passport and to check that each person presenting a paper hasn’t exceeded their 90 in 180 allowance that this was inevitable.

Can’t wait to see them vote for three word slogans soon…

check that each person presenting a paper hasn’t exceeded their 90 in 180 allowance

Roll on ETIAS which might speed things up a little and close a loophole for people with loads of passports.

And this dodgy fuck is our chancellor.

They’re all on the take these people.

There aren't that many people who make >10M quid from selling a company they were a co-founder of without some skeletons in their closets... and it's usually taxes. Paying taxes becomes a little more optional if you've got money apparently.
