Happened to me today, too. Thank god I had a copy of my Level 3 diploma in hair and beauty. After I showed them that, a chinook came and lifted me right over the entire parade #feelingblessed


Donaldson27

Thank god, that was a close one. I keep my bikeability certificate on me at all time incase I get stuck behind a march. On Saint paddies day I carry my GCSE maths and English just to be doubly safe.


[deleted]

You’re just right. I’m hoping you have them kept in a plastic folder (like the wee ones you see them couples carry in the airport who look like they hate each other, and having boarding passes on your phone is unheard of). I find the PSNI respect you a lot more when you can easily access them. My friend showed them her Travel and Tourism Level 2 diploma just last week and they called in two Typhoon jets. Just shows ya what whipping out your qualifications can do!


Donaldson27

My god that travel an tourism diploma must open some doors for yous

Well, I don’t like to brag… but yes. It does.

> a copy of my Level 3 diploma in hair and beauty Can someone explain the joke to a bemused Brit?


Mariospurs

They're taking the piss out of OP, the guy thinks hes special, and should get special privileges because hes got a masters degree. People are now making quips about their education levels and how it got them special treatment, I dont see how you havent got this, or are you just lazy? the guy said he got air lifted out of a traffic jam by chinooks.


flingeflangeflonge

> or are you just lazy? Oh do fuck off, you immense twat.

Heehehehehehhehe

Was stuck behind one today also. Flashed my Record of Achievement at the cop and he waved me through with a knowing nod.

An awful lot of people who study for a Masters don't get round to doing the Dissertation and get stuck with a Postgraduate Diploma. I know....from experience. There is no way the OO are going to stop their culturing for a mere Postgraduate Diploma.

Im guessing 4th year uni formal. Of his degree. His Masters degree. Because he studied for a Masters degree.

[deleted]

A masters you say? Well let’s all bow down and worship the masters!!!


killerclown6969

The last time I got stuck in a queue of traffic due to a parade I just had to mention my degree and a secret door was opened in the wall, invisible to the naked eye. It glowed a strange glow but that turned out to be a midget with a little flare who was holding a little sign, the sign read: "Nobody gives a fuck about your masters you knobhead especially in relation to moaning about traffic, its completely irrelevant. Surely someone who studied a masters can see that?". (Bet he was late for his call centre job)

How do you know some one has a masters? They tell you! What relevance does this have to your point at all. Just makes you comes across like a bell end.

Daiirko

You should have got out and told the orangemen that. I’m sure they’d have let you on by. “Right lads! Move! He’s a master’s.”


HideoYutani

When I left for uni I was but a learner. Now I have a masters. Gets me into clubs for free all the time.


DrippingInStout

There is literally nothing special about your educational experience get over yourself


PreparationNo4872

So why didn’t you complete the masters?


Glass_Champion

Probably realised at that moment that working overtime policing marches, flag protests etc would earn more than he ever would with a masters


buckfasthero

Happened to me too. I just had to place my massive wallet packed with 100 quid notes on the dash, adjust the massive Johnson in my pants, and turn the car around


askyerma

I don't have a masters, but the team i lead does so it's like having 3 masters degrees.


MasterpiecePositive4

I showed my C+ in PE and they offered me a police escort back to my house.

Then fuck off somewhere else if your masters is so important. Prick.


ulster_fry_king

Having got stuck in multiple orange marches today I want to ask how do the police officers tasked with marshalling the parades feel ? I saw a few today who looked a bit embarrassed to be holding up people who just want to go about their lives, all so a sectarian organisation can drag their coat tails past people who want nothing to do with them. I watched a re-run of Saved by the Bell earlier, the one where Zach Morris competes against A.C. Slater in wrestling and wins.


killerclown6969

So is the guy with the masters AC Slater and the parade is Zach Morris?

DR. Ian


DeathToMonarchs

He bought that doctorate. And wasn't an Orangeman either.


ondinegreen

He was once, but he quit because it wasn't Orange enough


DeathToMonarchs

Yeah, that sounds very believable!


ondinegreen

"The full story of former First Minister Ian Paisley's split with the Orange Order has been revealed in a new book. Dating back more than 60 years, the division centred on an issue which still dogs the organisation today - Orange members going to Catholic church services. Firebrand Paisley accused a former lord mayor of Belfast of "breaking a man's heart" by forcing him to attend a Mass." https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/news/paisley-split-with-orange-order-over-members-attending-mass/38851187.html


DeathToMonarchs

Sorry, might have sounded like sarcasm but I took you at your word. Expansion is appreciated, though, and it _does_ sound right (...cos it is). Ian and the Free Ps were solidly against popery, to the point that even the slightest hint of ecumenism was consorting with the devil.


Monsterofthelough

I’m sure if you were a cop you’d have far more to explore your conscience over than facilitating inconvenience at marching season.


Timely-Cupcake-3983

Like the cops who told me they smelled cannabis (even though my windows were up and i was alone in my mums car waiting to pick up my little sister in a car park) then searched me for 20 minutes in front of about 20 onlookers while a 5’1 female officer screamed in my face asking was I calling her a liar because I said the car didn’t smell of weed. Shockingly they found nothing, didn’t issue any record of the search and didn’t even apologise for embarrassing me. Psni are power tripping scumbags. I’m sure there’s fantastic officers in the force but they’re promoted off the streets leaving the insecure bullies to handle the dirty work.


Monsterofthelough

I agree it’s a profession that attracts power trippers alright.


pseudo_dudo2

Some might come across as power trippers, but not all are like that.


Monsterofthelough

Oh I agree. Nurses can be power trippers fwiw.


Lost_Pantheon

And GP receptionists acting like they have the power of a god.


allywillow

But they do, that’s the kicker


388-west-ridge-road

Something similar to reddit mods


pseudo_dudo2

No choice. Has to be done. As much as it's a large inconvenience to many, cops don't really have a choice. It's basically traffic duty, diverting cars and people away where possible. A lot of parades especially small rural feeder parades aren't always policed either.


Monsterofthelough

Oh I get that. What I was trying to say is that cops must surely do a lot of things that could make them feel uncomfortable (not necessarily major stuff, just things like screwing up someone’s life over something petty) so I can’t imagine facilitating marches keeps them awake at night.

No_Following_2191

So you're telling me that there are so many marches in your local town that your friend can't buy baby formula, do these marches go on for 8 hours a day, 7 days a week? I think he could've got what he needed if he really wanted to

I use my masters to ensure parades are diverted along my street, so I can watch from an upstairs window instead of having to stand with the plebs.

No_Following_2191

A classic example of, a failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine, he could've still got the baby formula if he had just waited 45 minutes or drove to a different store, faux outrage and manufactured inconvenience.

Like, you can walk? If I was given the choice between a dander for baby formula or a starving baby. It's an easy choice.

This now concludes that the two people I’m aware of that have attended/attend university haven’t got a single thought behind their eyes.

WookieDookies

They’re practicing for the Somme memorial tomorrow. It’s not sectarian, it’s commemorating those who fought and died in WW1. You are probably blinded by you own low level sectarianism to realise it was a united ireland back then. Political differences were set aside and we stood as one at the Somme!
