"Non-renumerated"

Yeah but being able to put Professor on everything? Priceless.

CriticalCondition · 17/11/2025 09:58

A Visiting Professor is generally expected to contribute up to 14 days per year to the University.

'generally'
'expected'
'up to'

'14 days' not adding a lot there.

'Generally conferred for 3 years'. I wonder when that came in.

AI says the UU conferred visiting professorships for maximum 2 years back in the early 2000s. They were never conferred ‘in perpetuity’.

I find it really interesting that in the brochure for the Enviro Solutions Conference she is posted as Professor in the speakers list, alongside others with titles and honorifics. Presumably people paid to attend and hear the talks.

As well as in parliamentary minutes and government docs.

Literally no one checked.

Anyone could do this.

Edited

Hahaha that video is so good. As a receptionist she wrote a 2 sides of A4 proposal to the company owners "in Jack &Jill English because they weren't highly educated"

She also says she had to go to RoI to develop her ideas - I wonder if leaving NI made it easier to fly under the radar as Dr Judge Professor Boyd?

Please don't quote what "AI says" as though it were evidence. It isn't.

£500 a day works out at £100,000 per year (on the basis of 200 working days)

Which is more than 80% of the population earn.

In fact £100,000 per year is more than 96% of the population earn.

Well done to that clever person

An FoI to the NIPSA Union about their policy to allow men into women’s spaces would no doubt throw up some things

Unfortunately as trade unions aren’t public authorities, there is no right of access to information held by them.

It is not proof, but it is evidence, unreliable evidence, which may be poor quality or false, & has got people in big trouble (eg lawyers submitting evidence made up by LLM/Ai in UK & USA).

edit for minor typo

Videos of DB interviews now on @glinner Patrick Ayre (?) has emailed the ET asking about the use of the Professor title there.He says 'Mumsnet rocks'. Understatement.

So our Michele “stand by your trans” Devlin scrubbed her twitter for this trial.

What does she have to hide?

The wonderful directors who want to love everyone should have focused on proper governance. Calculating & scheming via WhatsApp. A Director who’s not a legal director in post for 20 years. Not sure how many board effectiveness assessments have been carried out or CEO appraisals she’s had.

One woman shares a view that men shouldn’t be in Rape Crisis Centres - gets investigated & called Sara Palin. Still waiting for justice two years later.

'Generally conferred for 3 years'. I wonder when that came in.

An honorary role usually confers an email address and library membership on the individual as a minimum, so I'd be surprised if those roles haven't been routinely reviewed over the years, if only by a list being briefly nodded through a subcommittee so that IT can maintain and update the user accounts.

Thoughts and prayers for UU administration this week as they deal with the burden of increased attention.

I think I was responsible for some of the Cash for Ash speculation, either in this thread or the previous one - sorry!

I think the period where the Cash for Ash scam was ongoing was a period where there was a lot of interest in green energy/fuel, including biofuel and also reducing landfill. So there would have been money available for startups that wanted to produce green(ish) energy and reduce waste going to incineration/landfill.

As pp have said, the Cash for Ash fuel was wood pellets, not something made from landfill-type waste. But at that time, the idea that you could make fuel pellets from waste was probably quite attractive and could garner seed funding etc - which seems to be what happened with Re3, which had money from a US investor.

Agree.

My credentials- not from NI but NI Catholic parent. Catholics of that age had, as a group, fewer opportunities and so they disproportionately valued education. Not all of them, but enough for there to be a definite trend.

I'm not sure how relevant religious background is in this case but it's normally very obvious if people list themselves as British in the companies house info.

cannot wait til 2pm, just hope the workman is done by then so I can come home and log in properly. Off to my maw cause no heating / water and the leccy will be off soon. Tatty bye everyone til then.

Presumably the NICS would keep the consultations and input they collated though?

NIPSA were coordinating their responses to the draft NICS document I think.

This sum was incorrect, it's £200 per full day.

This thread has been really helpful. I didn’t know what I wanted for Christmas but I’m getting ideas 💡:

  1. Autoclave
  2. Laminated A3 sign with Professor SexRealistic on it
  3. A BIGLY SCREEN
  4. 37 page Erection Manual
  5. A biology book that I can lend out to BFF board. Maybe one on the Flora & Fauna of Ireland for Mark.
  6. A cover of Tammy Wynettes new classic “Stand by your Trans”

Trans ideology is the great non-sectarian belief everyone here gets behind.

  • Minor variances in theology of the sect of Christianity = murder
  • Biological men in Women’s Rape Crisis centres = funded out the wazoo by taxpayers money

Yes, but it was referencing a post that said (I'm paraphrasing) that if it was 'only'£500 a day that it would rule the majority of people out, as it would likely be a pay cut.

This poster just pointing out that it wouldn't be a pay cat for the majority (and the £200 a day thing has since been confirmed).

SquareEyedSue · 17/11/2025 11:18

Are the women in these photos (Sarah Morrison et al) trans? Genuine question.

£40,000 per year is more than 85% of the population earn.

Many people in the UK have a very skewed idea of what they earn compared to others. Remember that knob in the audience on Question Time who wouldn’t accept that he was in the upper 5% of earners.
