    but yes hard to beat a chinnook. but who pilots this? granny?

    There was never this kind of hostility towards Aunt Mabel. The fact she had a spotty plane and not a chinnook is obsolete.

    if we are speaking of the same aunt Mabel here, she/he ran of with a rather attractive young Spanish waiter.

    Or was that me in a dream? I must stop taking those unlabelled pills that strange man lurking on the corner gave me for "free".

    Didn't know where else to post this.

    Did anyone see the Chief Con's tweet to a serving officer last night?

    '@FightingMicrobe well you're allowed to leave & seek another job - nobody is asking you to stay. Dry your eyes, do the job or move on!'

    Seems a little harsh given the reported low morale.

    I'd half expect this to be deleted when HR / media relations get wind of it. I would have thought he would required those departments to clear his tweets before posting them.

    Social media is a great piece of technology when used properly. However, it can all go wrong very quickly and even the fastest delete button won't solve it.

    Maybe he needs some coaching from PSNI Craigavon :D

    Definitely isn't however, gives excellent insight to that side of the job. some powerful stories on the show this morning.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭majgreen


    You'll always hear the bad stories on the news and very rarely the good. There are a lot of people who have had excellent help through operational health, it's a shame that those on the show this morning didn't have such good experiences


  • Registered Users Posts: 475 ✭✭blueboat


    Some really powerful stories especially the gent who 'lost his mind'. Everyone should know what they are getting into.

    Watched the 3 episodes last night. Pretty insane that they let them out on their own when they didn't seem to have much confidence!

    I loved the one says that the key to the job is pretending you know everything and just waffle.

    Thing is, it's the truth. You have to look confident in what you're doing even if you haven't a clue.
