Case in which the question arose whether a declaration of non-parentage in respect of a man named on the child's birth certificate as the father renders his acquisition of PR void. Held, he did not acquire PR when he was mistakenly registered as the father. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

Only 4 days into December and I’ve had to abandon my longstanding radio station loyalty to Magic FM. 100% Christmas music has proved too much for me. Any recommendations for other stations? Trying Absolute Rock currently.

Two words for certain types of people, should you need them:

microlipet: one who gets all worked up over nothing.

struthonian: the person who buries their head in the sand and says ‘Problem? What problem?’.

My thoughts exactly. Not really an increase. And why not apply it to all the areas of work that suffered the reductions?!

This is incredibly disturbing.

Will the rates for all civil legal aid work increase I wonder.

Very British workplace translation guide What everything said in the office really means: 1 "Could do." Nope. 2 "I'll have a look in a sec." Please go away. 3 "I'll sort it out tomorrow." I'll forget about it forever. 4 "We've had a few teething problems." It's been a bloody nightmare. 5 "Let's agree to disagree." You're wrong but I'm so tired. 6 "What have you got on at the minute?" Prepare for your workload to triple. 7 "I'll see what I can do." You're on your own. 8 "It's the next thing on my list." I don't even have a list. 9 "Sorry, could you just clarify something?" What the hell are you drivelling on about? 10 "I have had better days." These have been, without exception, the worst 24 hours of my life.

I just joined this platform. Feels much more pleasant.

I don’t want to speak too soon, but this platform feels quite refreshing so far. Not seen any toxicity yet 🤞🏻
