When in doubt, talk to the people at a job fair and look interested. Like, you wouldn't believe how many people apply for jobs and then turn out to not even seem that interested when you call them for interviews. I'd rather have a team member that gels with the group and can adopt than someone who has the perfect educational background. Thanks for all the advice. I can really use that. Man I hate job hunting, even in the most basic jobs you have to answer really dumb questions and seem as if stacking shelves is your life's purpose.

Best mockery of it I've heard is "I agree with the Latin Kings on social issues, but fiscally I'm more of an Aryan." (Also it relies on a very Reagan definition of conservative/liberal, classically fiscally conservative would have been protectionism tariffs and and noblesse oblige, and fiscally liberal would have been laissez faire, whereas the people saying that usually mean they are socially and fiscally liberal.)

Like England Wales has a bit of a south bias (perhaps because the capitol and most of the population is here), much more money gets spent down here and the north is left with scraps. I'm not 100% sure on the language thing, it does get quiet involved. North Welsh is different to South Welsh significantly so in parts. Also in the 19th century some awful, awful South Wales liberals thought it was really neat that Welsh people spoke English and not that lovely Welsh language. Also agree that North Wales is very beautiful, except Wrexham (Wrecsam).

The thing with non-alcoholic beer is that it's basically the same calories for none of the benefit. And yes I know coke and stuff is sugary, but you shouldn't be drinking sugary coke anymore, you child, you infantFumble posted:More than one local pub was caught watering down their drinks in the late 90's, so I got into the habbit of not ordering from the tap.

Also in 19th century South Wales a bunch of very cool non-liberals got together and hosed up all the bourgeoisie tho. & yeah I guess the North/South investment thing has a lot to do with how people view nations, since England & Wales have been pretty much the same "state" (if still very distinct "nations") for a long time, & South Wales still gets the poo poo end of the stick compared to *cough* other parts of the UK, so I guess it's just my Englishness stopping me from seeing it. Interesting stuff though, thanks. Anyway, "socially liberal, economically conservative" is just the thinking person's "I'm not racist but"

does anyone love Heineken? I mean I'll drink it on occasion, sometimes it might even be my first choice if the place doesn't have very many alternatives, but I don't think there's ever been an instance where I see Heineken and think "ah great, that's exactly what I was hoping for"
