If there's a slight typo in your CV but it's pretty obvious what you meant to say, will they completely disregard your application or will they take into account the rest of it and the cover letter? Basically I meant to say "Ensuring clashes were avoided" and I accidentally missed out the last two words and wrote "Ensuring clashes". Er, but surely from the context they realised I was trying to avoid clashes, not make them.

That's a pretty big clanger to drop. You ensure clashes? Doesn't sound like a good reason to bring you into a work environment...
 
Is it something that was sent in to an impersonal, amorphous HR department, or to an individual? If it's the latter, and you have a point of contact, I'd follow up on it via email (or in person); could turn it into a positive that way, by showing that you care about your work, and it would also be an opportunity simply to get noticed.
 
Just watched this...

I'd urge anyone to watch that, as well as being idiotic - it is amusing in places. The levels of idiocy...

Fair play to the girl about 4 minutes in. They're a bunch of animals, Neanderthal thugs.

I'm actually physically sick watching this. The fact people like that live amongst us...

Know that everyone is tired of any mention of him, but this roundup of Lawro's predictions is pretty good: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22596125

According to the predictions, Sir Alex Ferguson would have bowed out by leading his Manchester United side through an unbeaten Premier League season with a record 96 points.

Lawro does not really go for away wins. He predicted that eight teams (Aston Villa, Fulham, Norwich, Reading, Southampton, Swansea, West Brom and West Ham) would not win ANY of their away fixtures this season. In fact, Villa, Swansea and West Brom all won more away games (five) than sixth-placed Everton (four).
He predicted that Fulham and West Brom would lose EVERY away game (scoring only four and six goals respectively), and drew the ire of Southampton fans by predicting they would lose 15 straight games at one stage of the season .

Did you watch to the end? So many levels of stupid displayed.

Just piling off the bus to beat up Muslims who are minding their own business? Deary me.

Yeah I did. You just know something's gonna kick off soon. And I wouldn't put it past being around here in the Midlands either - Leicester's probably one of the most bigoted cities in the UK, if not the most bigoted.
 
Take shelter, Sikhs. These morons have never figured out the difference, so a turban looks like a giant ****ing bulls-eye to them.
 
Someone I know has just posted this... Average Asian family has 5 children. Average English family has 2.. Our children will eventually be outnumbered and have no rights.


I'm going to have to reply.
 
I really despair at the attitudes of some people in this country at times, a Saints fan that I follow on twitter was going off the deep end with his tweets earlier and later "followed" the EDL. The worrying thing is that he normally seems quite balanced, and owns a fairly large company, it's crazy how easily people can be swayed. Idiots.
