That is unfair as a generalisation.

In the 1970s lots of people didn't have the opportunity to go to university.
Lots of bright people in engineering started as apprentices and worked their way up.

He may well be everything you say, but I worked for a similar company and some of the ex apprentices went on to be very competent senior people.

I agree. Degrees were very rare in the 70s. Not sure when teaching degrees came in for example but my mother didn’t need a degree when she trained to be a teacher.

From TT

Who does RR report to
AL - Nerys [Thomas?]

Request for 5 minutes break
Judge - all happy to come back then?

What's the text thing?

Basically making sure they have stayed off social media before giving evidence.

Witnesses shouldn't have any knowledge of what has already been said in the case, so they can't be reading tribunal tweets.

MyrtleLion · 03/10/2025 15:16

Boiledbeetle · 03/10/2025 15:14

Break til 15.25

Thanks! I'm desperate for the loo!

By whom? People in the US? I know several associate and assistant professors socially, and they are not, online. However, I will ask them if it's different in their working life. Things may well have changed.

When DH was studying for a PhD decades ago most of his correspondence from abroad referred to him as professor, but nobody in the UK would.

My colleagues did, before I retired. Maybe just them. I assumed it was the modern way

Boiledbeetle · 03/10/2025 15:15

This man must have the bladder of a teenager. He's just sitting there through the break

Probably not sure which loo to use - or doesn't have the requisite skirt and lipstick to use the ladies' loo

Well, it's good to know the batshittery we're up against. But "well-organised", "secret meetings"... they obviously underestimate the effect of having facts on our side. Oh, and Naomi Campbell!

As for the trans employee who says "I haven't actually encountered any issues with being trans even from Maria", well what is she supposed to say exactly? "By the way, it's obvious you're a man and you shouldn't be in the women's toilets"? Because that worked out so well for Sandie Peggie, Dr Upton just agreed with her and went back to the men's. Oh, wait...

Do we know what Naomi Campbell thinks, lol?

CriticalCondition · 03/10/2025 15:18

I think the judge, reminding him he was under oath, asked Andy whether he had read any text-based account of the proceedings ( presumably referring to TT) before he gave his own evidence. This would be contrary to the tribunal's directions to witnesses contained in an Operational Note which was quoted. I think his answer was no but it was very muffled.

PMSL at AL body language, brow wipe, just now

MarieDeGournay · 03/10/2025 15:18

I noticed this - the J addressing AL [apparently] before he asked him qq
J Just a reminder to tell the truth.

Ooo-er!

He’s looking forward to a large g&t later.

Or, he's a man.

I always rush to the loo at the start of the interval at the theatre, partly to avoid being at the end of a long queue. DH doesn't normally bother.

We didn't see any bundles in Sandie Peggie's ET.

Sorry, didn't mean bundles. I'm posting on the fly.

I meant emails. Like the ones KS sent out to the entire department.

Get hobbling quick. 😀

Seriously though, I hope your AB's kick in fast and you start feeling better.

You are doing an amazing job with the TT's tweets. Thank you. Flowers

Well no one, including the judge, believes he hasn't heard the acronym Terf. So he's clearly lying.

How to distinguish between Naomi Campbell and Naomi Cunningham - one of them throws the book at you, the other ......Smile

borntobequiet · 03/10/2025 15:21

I teach a little bit, part time, not high level, in HE. Emails from international students often begin “Esteemed Professor”, which I find rather charming.

Octoberaddsagale · 03/10/2025 15:21

Yes, thank you for the excellent work on TTs, @MyrtleLion. It's a grand job you're doing, even without consideration of your current poorliness.

Easytoconfuse · 03/10/2025 15:22

TwoLoonsAndASprout · 03/10/2025 15:05

NC You have to obey the law

AL That’s your view

?!?!?

🤯

Ooh, does that mean that it's okay for her to slap him round the face with a dead fish because that's her view of the law? Can I help?

Pretentious little disgrace to the male gender!

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 03/10/2025 15:22

I’d want to stretch my legs, if i were AL.

It's obviously quite warm in there. People in shirtsleeves, others fanning themselves. One person mopping their brow ...

That's because AL's pants are on fire.
