I like getting SE22, so I'm quite happy to quarantine it for a few days until I can read it 🙂 What is junk mail to one person is useful or interesting to another!

Has he fallen out with his girlfriend? There would be a difference between coming back to live at yours permanently, and flitting between yours and hers (not on in present circumstances).

I've had no post for ages either.

No mention of arrest of the man who allegedly broke into the house and assaulted the couple? Hopefully at some point we will know the full story .... I have a feeling that there is more to this than meets the eye, but who knows ....

To the best of my (admittedly out of date) knowledge, psychometric tests are quite commonly used in recruitment and the results would normally be used in conjunction with other information about a candidate, though also possibly as a first stage of selection if there were a lot of candidates. Nothing insidious about it. Obviously you have to exclude candidates somehow, otherwise everybody who applied would get the job 🤣

The thread is ten years old - I'm guessing the OP's baby will have stopped breastfeeding by now 😂 BTW the post two above this one is a first poster posting on a very old thread - I would be cautious about clicking on that link .... ETA: That post has now been removed.

That's about par for the course in communication, I would say 🤣🤣🤣 Communication to the public in relation to the virus, I mean, obviously ....

I don't think you can fairly compare Milgram's experiment with a survey on the effects of a pandemic on people's mental health 🤣

JohnL Wrote: -------------------------------------------------------Claims to be inactive now so > can't check it out :). Perhaps other people have pointed out the problems and they are belatedly sorting them. As the survey stood, even apart from the other issues, they could never have broken down the results by ethnicity, which I would have thought was a pretty important thing to look at, particularly given the apparently disproportionate numbers of BAME people testing positive for Covid-19.

Does anybody posting on here have tadpoles with legs yet? Mine are in an old ceramic Belfast sink. It does have plants and algae, but I'm feeding them a plant based tadpole food which is supposed to be only suitable until they get their first legs. I have some different food for the next stage, when they become carnivorous as well. I'm worried if I miss the leg arrival, they may start eating each other 😭

I like the first one it's clearer and simpler (in my opinion!)

:))

I just did that survey. I thought it was far too long, repetitive and poorly designed. Even the very first part collecting demographic data assumes that if you are British you must be white. Surely they should have got advice on what ethnicity categories to use? Nobody seems to have properly checked any of it over. Some of the questions insist you answer supplementary questions even though you then have no option but to give answers which are not true/do not make sense in the context of your answer to the original question. If you don't, you can't move on to the next part. And there is no way to comment on any issues you may have with the survey itself. Even YouGov surveys let you do that! I'm not impressed. I assume a student has produced this and their supervisor has not properly looked at it.

One ill person's discomfort and misery is another person's grouchy winge. 😢

Pretty ill by her description of her symptoms. Her age is completely irrelevant. She is not talking about "low level" noise. Read her post. Have some sympathy, FFS.
