"A question for E_B and anyone else who works shifts"

How does working shifts affect your love life? If you are wanting to go out with someone who works a day job doesn't it get hard to keep the relationship going since everytime you have a night shift that'll be an entire day you wont see them. Even if you're on backshift chances are you wont see them the whole day. That must put a serious strain on the relationship no?

I want to join the police as you may remember when I'm 18 and a half but I want to know if you think the pay is worht it or if it even come up often as a problem? Thanks for your time in advance.

Yeh that's what I thought. I want to join the force but everyone wants a stable relationship too so I don't know if I will now. Hmmm I don't know what I'll do instead though. Probably lie in a guitar rehearsing the phrase "Any spare change mate?" day in, day out.

Not only do I not work shifts, but I'm not in a relationship right now. Regardless, here's my two cents.

Working different times from everyone else will always mess things up. I'm at college during the day then at work until 9, so I only have the weekends to see my mates. Kind of puts EVERYTHING you have planned in life on hold. God, can't wait to leave college...

You meant pithy, but didn't know what it meant regardless.

The grape may be old, but it still produces the juice baby.

Dunno, turns out it's not even a word. It was a crap comeback.

Plithy? Eh?

Plithy comeback, Cubist. Quick, make another.

Cubist, you're kidding. They dont let girls like you work in the police!

Few places do although I did see a job description which required all applicants had the brains of a very old grape. I think you could be in there.

Britain’s law enforcement does not employ idiots.
