I don't know to be honest mate. The girl asked me if I had heard from my medical and I said no not recently and she said did I get a letter saying I had passed it and I said yes. So she was like oh, what for full pension - which I was pretty sure it was, i think it said passed for full service.

Anyway she is going to call me back sometime. And I am guessing they have 3 or 4 places still to fill up so fingers crossed I'll still be in March 8th!

But I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm gutted for you bud. I really hope you get a place on the March intake, because;

It wouldn't be right to miss out because of their mistake.
I was hoping that you could run a 'bulling-for-idiots' class up at the hotel.

Big Mac Addict · 19-01-2009 10:59AM

Hope they do give you a March call. I would have been front row in that class. Hopefully I still will be! As long as it doesn't clash with 'Ironing 101' which is run by carlty? Yes?!

DownMTBer · 19-01-2009 11:05AM

LOL!! Thanks for your support guys. I do hope I get in in march and that's just why.

Yeah ur right it wouldn't be right to miss out cos of their mistake. Oh well...

Hopefully, fingers crossed, I can still do my 'bulling-for-idiots' class for you lot and no, it won't clash with Carlty's ironing 101 cos I'll DEFINATELY be attending that one!

carlty888 · 19-01-2009 11:16AM

I'll have to check with the wife. I was hoping to bring her in as a guest speaker on the 'Ironing 101' course.

PC Inwaiting · 19-01-2009 11:52AM

I have been know to be very good with the old iron.

Could be a second income for me at the Hotel lol. Or you could just pay me in chocolate.

Are you any good with new irons, or is it just the old ones?

Interesting, what are the fees for this? I don't mind parting with a Crunchie or a Twix but if you are asking for a Mars or a Yorkie the course had better be top quality.

You can't use a Yorkie as currency anyway. "They're not for girls!" It even says so on the wrapper.

The postie arrived this morning, but unfortunately he didn't bring the information pack with him.

Big Mac Addict · 19-01-2009 01:35PM

No info pack for me either. Has anyone handed in their notice yet? What was it like?!

PC Inwaiting · 19-01-2009 01:46PM

I waited at lunch for over an hour for my info pack but nothing.

I sort of handed in my notice, waiting until my letter arrives before I post the forms, it was a great feeling.

My favourite chocolate bar of all time is turkish delight, so that will get you a high standard of ironing.

DownMTBer · 19-01-2009 01:48PM

Sorry to steer the conversation away from chocolate!! But I thought i'd let ya'll know the wee problem with my medical has been sorted. So now just to keep my fingers crossed they have room for me in March!

PC Inwaiting · 19-01-2009 01:53PM

We always have room for one more in the Blue Squd.

Fingers crossed for you mate.

I think I could manage one Englishman, the problem is when you lot all get together. Always stealing all the good sun loungers on holiday lol.

The people in our HR section know I'm leaving, but they've nothing on paper yet.

I've printed off my notice, but I'm not handing it in until such times as I've returned all the relevant forms to external applications.

That kind of accent might just get you noticed in or around Belfast. Not quite what you want in undercover work.

Al hav ta wurk on ma Belfaust accent like.

DownMTBer · 19-01-2009 02:22PM

You have to say 'here's me' a LOT...

I phoned up external appointments today and here's me, what's happening with my appointment and here she was, its in 'the process' and here's me, here's me I says, here's me, what does that mean and here she was, it means your medical is screwed, and here's me...

well something like that anyhow!!

DownMTBer · 19-01-2009 02:50PM

Almost there i think...

Latest is that OHW tell me everything is sorted... external appointments still haven't spoken to them (or so they tell me - since OHW say they have

) but when I asked if there was any chance for March I was told yes there's still 1 or 2 places!

So now jiggling my leg up and down nervously, not getting any work done and staring at my phone watching minutes tic past! :eek:

PC Inwaiting · 19-01-2009 02:59PM

God they have really messed you around, I know how annoying it is just sitting and waiting.

Not to worry, you will have a lovely Belfast twinge by the end of your training. Dead on!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

'Bulling-for-idiots' will be commencing as scheduled!!

Blues you have your token Englishman!

:D:D:D:D

PC Inwaiting · 19-01-2009 03:44PM

Congrats mate, so pleased for you.

At least you will be easy to spot as soon as you open your mouth, what type of English accent am I looking for.

Now you just have to wait for the info pack like the rest of us.

Congratulations buddy. Really glad to have you on board.

You'll be a little easier to single out at the SRD than most. You can be the boardy liaison officer.
