It's Friday night...

I'm laid in bed feeling sorry for myself after drinking far too much last night and only getting 3 hours sleep

Piddled off that Asda hasn't delivered my shopping this evening. Had to cook a chicken breast to feed my poor little girls before I put them to bed, not to mention that I'm short one expected case of stella for the evening. Luckily I picked up a few bottles of Tiger on special at Tesco, but it's not the same. Someone's gonna get a harshly-worded email tomorrow.

Edit:


Sunday roast in a pint, for sure. Just stay away from the crap they pour over here - it'll never be the same.

Good luck with that, not that they will care, but its always fun to kick off :D

Nice one mate! I deal with the police quite a lot in the shop and most are bang on.

They tend to be based at London road or Helen street in Glasgow.

I'm applying to Central atm. Most Police I've dealt with through working in a sports complex (get a lot of idiots coming in!) have been great, instilled my faith in them, always wanted to be a PC so now I've finished uni, no better time!

Nice 1 mate. Congrats.
Im still waiting to re-apply for the police. Sent my last application in without my medical because 1) I forgot, and 2) when I remembered I didn't bother because I have pins in both hips, doesnt stop me from doing anything at all though, including running, but thought the Army wouldnt accept me so Police maybe wouldnt. Then I was told they cant not take me for that reason if I want to work in IT in the police :)

They can be quite picky, I was on the threshold for BMI 29! I'm anything but fat, but had to cut back to comfortably get in. Aslong as your doctor is happy for you to do the run then you would be ok? It's just a quick medical check, in most cases. Despite the fact you've had surgery you should be ok!
 
RAWR! It's dinosaur for "i love you" :)

I'm eating Pizza / peanut M&M's, drinking pepsi (have some JD around so will have some in a mo), listening to some podcasts and playing a combination of Football Manager and Minecraft.

F.A. Cup tomorrow and a tough day after that. Hmm. Lazy mood today, as you can tell by my lack of effort to do anything tonight.

@ The Scot who had the Police thing! Well done dude! How's everything getting in to the police before that test? I've been thinking about giving it a go, but local isn't recruiting.

I'm afraid I'm only at the third stage;

Application,
Standard Entrance Testing,
Assessment Centre,
Panel Interview,
Drugs Test,
Recruitment.

The application was obviously straight forward, but if you have any priors they may pull you up on them.

The SET I'm confident you'll pass this.

The AC was pretty challenging, a lot of writing at times and controversial topics... I'm not holding my breath, but I will find out Monday how I fared!
 
Ah cool :)

Any priors? Do cautions count? t'was a long time ago.

Even though your not that far in its still really interesting, my friend joined recently (full time copper) and we've really not had the time to catch up.
 
Just eaten a pizza and now im sitting here being boring drinking tea. While hoping im going to get my graphics card back soon.

As long as you are open about them. I don't have any personally, but I've heard from people who have been refused because they didn't list previous arrests (even though they haven't been charged with anything). I think the main thing they are looking for when you are applying is honesty.
 
Wouldn't of thought about not putting them down to be honest, but wondering if it's a point of instant refusal.

Eaten too much pizza / m&m's feeling sicky ! ha :(

I wouldn't have thought so..? Depends what it was for really, but the only thing you can do is apply and find out.
