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.

You're absolutely correct there.

I'm from one of the rural Catholic communities in NI and, when I was growing up during the 70s/80s, the phrase "Education is a burden easy carried", was pushed on us all the time. Until Fair Employment legislation came into being in NI, we knew that we had to be much better than other candidates if we wanted a chance to be considered for Uni places, or jobs in 'State-run' organisations, or jobs in any of the really big firms in NI at the time.

Things were very different in those days in so many ways!

Well spotted! No one could ever accuse this tribunal of being dull.

How about you give me 10.

Then I get an article published about how I am using 10 of your machines, with a link to your website.

You then publish a social media post about how successfully I am using your machines

Then we apply for grant funding for me to buy more machines off you

Then we both join an advisory group supporting other people to use funding to buy your machines

Then we attend a conference talking about how brilliant autoclaves are?

And then you both end up as Professors?

Ah, the beforetimes, when there was no mystery as to who/what a woman was,
Will we ever get back to that?
@VeraAtkins It starts at 2pm: In theory

Edited

On Friday they agreed 1.30.

But that was Friday....

Sounds totally above board.

I wonder if US money being invested in startups is a way of writing off tax or, this is pure speculation, laundering money.

Do I need an autoclave? I'm been managing quite well until now doing all my claving manually.

Yeah I must have misremembered that: But as there's ANOTHER application for recusal just in, it may all be moot anyway!
Such drama - it's unbelievable isn't it? Naomi Cunnigham is a legend, and I get the impression that the NI tribunal system is likely to come out of this VERY badly:

NoBinturongsHereMate · 17/11/2025 12:38

That Trotskyite vs Marxist-Leninist article is hilarious. I'd love to have sat in on that tribunal and watched the judge's face as the issues were explained.

VeraAtkins · 17/11/2025 12:38

Only 50% of remaining panel can use Fibromyalgia as an excuse now.

Boiledbeetle · 17/11/2025 12:39

Is it normal to request a second recusal once the judge has refused the first recusal?

What happened to your NCP, Beetle? Or am I misremembering?

(If not, be careful now, Mumsnet will be able to track all your qualifications and when you claimed them... 😂)

weegielass · 17/11/2025 12:41

Argh the drama! I’m dipping in and out on my phone. Could it be all our findings? But if DB is already recused what could there be that we don’t already know? Where’s my popcorn?

Another recusal application has been filed according to NW on twitter!!

Link or it didn’t happen

I've been in workplaces that have NIPSA reps and they are very much a personality type that, shall we say....enjoys a good fracas

They reminded me of the shop stewards from WC Boggs & Co in Carry On at Your Convenience 😊

That’s it; I’ve just given up on normality as I know it for the moment. This thread is my life now.

VeraAtkins · 17/11/2025 12:45

Can you make a further recusal request because points raised in a first request were not addressed?

Scout2016 · 17/11/2025 12:46

I wonder if the second application is related to the judge
Allowing SC to speak to NC like that (eg lipstick on a pig)

Saying they were going to do something that legally they couldn't (taking MD off oath) which suggests incompetentence

Also suggests bias because that point she didn't even know what the recusal application was about, she just saw her arse at them being absent and called it disgusting and made a threat to do something illegal in response
