00:18:41 <rc-garage> well, I am moving
00:19:03 <K> to whre? sweden?
00:19:10 <rc-garage> honduras should not have issues like that
00:19:28 <K> i almost guessed right.
00:22:45 <rc-garage> but, I have no idea how good that can be, but it looks almost like I should play with it a bit. I really suck at programming stuff
00:24:10 <xstevia> Its like a big game of cat and mouse here in manchester today

22:40:37 <Halcyon> Hey Steve\
22:54:11 <Halcyon> How was your outing yesterday?
22:56:39 <steve30> fine
22:56:47 <steve30> spent the day chasing the police around
22:56:59 <Halcyon> You have some odd hobbies
22:57:09 <steve30> I reckoned they will have had to pay a lot of constables a lot of overtime
22:57:20 <Halcyon> For the event?
22:57:28 <steve30> yes
22:57:48 <Halcyon> I'm sure they are just normal rostered shifts rather than O/T
22:58:08 <Halcyon> Whenever we had operations like that, they were scheduled. Apart from the User Charges shifts
22:58:53 <steve30> My understanding is that anyone who is normally scheduled to work on such a day would be paid as normal, but anyone doing anything extra, gets overtime
22:59:07 <Halcyon> I mean. I don't know how it works there.
22:59:20 <steve30> Certainly when we had a similar event in Sheffield last year the officers who came over from Durham were on 1.5* pay
22:59:35 <Halcyon> But here, overtime is additional hours to your normal shift, or if you are recalled to duty at short notice on your rostered day off.
22:59:52 <Halcyon> O/T isn't if they simple change your roster with notice, to cater for operations and staffing.
23:00:07 <Halcyon> Oh good on them if they were.
23:00:35 <Halcyon> I used to love a bit of O/T. Certain shifts would even get you double or 2.5x pay.
23:00:48 <steve30> They certainly do overtime for football
23:01:33 <steve30> So I expect they would for other things. If you need to get pretty much the entire force out in one day, then people who are otherwise having a day off will need to come in. They won't do that for normal pay :).
23:01:36 <Halcyon> We usually do events like that as "User Charges" shifts, where the company putting on the event essentially "hire" police resources at a certain rate. But you have to apply for those shifts, and some can be very competitive.
23:02:05 <Halcyon> Seen plenty of concerts and things like that doing UC shifts. Even got to hang out with Zac Efron for one of them
23:02:21 <steve30> He was cute when he was younger :p
23:02:55 <Halcyon> Oh he was very attractive. I literally watched him do laps in a pool then had a chat with him when he came out. Actually a really down to earth guy
23:03:06 <Halcyon> This would have been about 10 years ago?
23:03:15 <Halcyon> Maybe 8
23:04:02 <steve30> Football clubs and gay pride events etc tend to pay for the police. But people wandering around with flags and placards don't.
23:04:23 <Halcyon> I used to love a good Mardi Gras shift
23:05:08 <Halcyon> I always used to put in for overtime at the after-party
23:05:24 <Halcyon> Met Steve Grand there one year. I wonder what happened to him
23:05:53 * steve30 googles
23:06:07 <Halcyon> He's an American song writer
23:12:44 <steve30> i'm off out for a walk
23:12:49 <Halcyon> Have fun

23:36:42 <motosteve> Cool
23:42:56 <Halcyon> Have any of you guys been to Hawaii before?
23:45:41 <K> nope from here
23:47:33 <Halcyon> Just looking at flights to places I haven't been before. I quite like the idea of being in the middle of the ocean.
23:47:45 <Halcyon> Also flights to New Zealand are cheap
23:50:30 <motosteve> Nope but if sounds nice
23:58:06 <K> go to nz, lest the trump locks you up
