I'm a civil servant in the 6 counties. Since wfh began we were 2 days a week. Tbh the job i was doing, that suited as we were sending out a pile of letters so you went in, printed everything off and posted on your office days.

Our job changed last year to using the UC system so all communication switched to online anyway. Around September we were asked to work from home full time for a period (due to the building I'm in needing renovations) but tbh I've been able to do the job in exactly the same way. To be honest my mentality when wfh is I feel I almost need to work a bit harder to justify what I'm doing. 

I think the building work is almost done so it looks like we'll be back in the office sometime in February and we'll just have to suck that up.

However, if I got moved to Belfast at some stage I'd genuinely have to think about a job change. I did that for 20 years and I'd sooner go back to my office now 5 days a week than do 2 days in Belfast.

How far are you from Belfast?

35 miles.

Its crazy, myself included, complain about how far we have to work when we actually in comparison to other parts of the world live really close to work..

I'm about 28 miles and going away from traffic so its slightly easier than heading in to Belfast

You are using distance as the measure here. Factor in the time sat in traffic in Belfast which has only got worse since the new grand central station opened. Distance isn't the issue.

I would guess SS would be looking at an hour there and an hour back plus whatever battles to get parking

You could be as long commuting within Belfast travelling 2 or 3 miles to work

How did Tohill do ?

Not a great result today, didn't expect a win but thought may have been a bit closer

Denis Law

The girl deserves to be named and shamed. Exhausting even thinking about the amount of time she must put into this.

Most people know who she is anyway but if she's publicly outed there's probably big issues with regard her mental health.

Yeah that's usually the way of it when someone gets caught out

Jesus Raya would have been there all week and wouldn't have saved a penalty, obviously the keeper isn't the favourite to save one but continually diving the wrong way - would you not attempt a change of strategy ? i.e. standing up longer

A book of condolences has been opened for John George, the drug dealer murdered in Spain. That's a first for me

Was it not a very small number of Catholics, less than 10%? I'm not sure you could class that as integrated if it had went ahead.

Edit - in 2022/23 their enrolment was 1835 enrolled, 1084 Protestant, 54 Catholic & 697 "other".

"Pupils recorded as not belonging to either of the two main traditions are classed as 'other' and not included in the consideration of religious balance."

The GAA themselves said Gallagher was free to coach but Burns says otherwise ? Did he contact Clonduff last year ?

I see one of the deceased mates failed in getting his bail altered to allow him to go and search, due to gun & drug charges

Another unusual story. Saying he was lured to Spain so he could be murdered.

Safe to say he has been murdered, it's fairly obvious what his background/occupation is. Occupational hazard in that line of work

Body found

The implosion starts!

An Arsenal fan with 1k followers who pays for his blue tick ffs

The permanently outraged brigade will have moved on by now

Of that panel of 30, probably 20 Glenariffe. Glenravel needed the amalgamation obviously
