The Perfect Element posted:Is anyone able to advise on a decent bike for me to buy via my works cycle to work scheme? I don't want anything fancy at all, just something I can go to the shops on, with maybe the occasional longer distance country ride. Comfy and reliable is what I'm after. How much are you willing to spend (as in real cost to you - I'm willing to have XX less money in my bank account), and what tax rate are you on? keep punching joe posted:If your budget is limited then just go for the lightest you can get for the cash you have, would advise something steel framed though as it will last forever if you look after it. For City commuting singlespeed is fine and cheapest to maintain (less to go wrong / easier to clean). This is very good advice, although I have a bad personal experience with Marathons - in that they're amazing, but when you get a tiny, tiny, tiny slither of glass in them that you really can't find and you think it's absolutely gone, they can cost you a whack in replacement tubes over a couple of weeks. They're great though.

Are there other industries where a round of applause is expected for a job well done? Asking for a friend. and there's no way i'm the first to make that joke.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Very similar energy to the whole 'participation trophies' thing, another chud talking point they get very smug and self satisfied about. I was listening to a podcast the other day (I can't recall which), and they were talking about participation trophies. The first recorded use of the phrase was almost 100 years ago - Feb 1922. https://newspaperarchive.com/sports-clipping-feb-08-1922-1129748/ And the funny thing about Laurence Fox - he wasn't even a failed, or a bad actor. He was perfectly decent, he just chose to lash himself to this bizarre flagpole. And now his acting career is, we have to assume, over.

Guavanaut posted:Midland Mainline IRA hijacked trains and delayed them for an hour without telling anyone. Presumably because it meant the trains got in earlier than people were expecting. GG, IRA.

Mega Comrade posted:I wrote to my MP (tory) about it and got the standard waffle about 'voter fraud' back. She didn't even acknowledge my concerns about minority voter suppression. She's a Tory MP, she probably didn't even realise it was a concern, just you were listing the good reasons for it.

Aidan_702 posted:I will only be inheriting debt, mother already spent the money my grandmother left for the family (and me) on fags and booze. Trying to think what I should change my name to when the time comes The good news is that you can't inherit debt, assuming you're not co-signed on anything. It'll be paid out of an estate, so worst case is you don't inherit anything.

Trickjaw posted:Here's a nasty little scam. I know most of you beautiful speculums are already snapped up, but some of us have to use dating sites. There has been honestly about 15 people who have tried this on me on Grindr (I know), but if its not someone with an onlyfans channel, you get asked if you have registered on the ghrlgbt site, to prove you are not an abusive rapist, accompanied by suitably gruesome images of the person so beaten they are naturally hard to recognise. Woah, the website in that link looks incredibly legit.  I can absolutely see why people would pay €2 to sign up on that. and then get hit for 50 more. Clearly scammers websites have moved on an awful lot in the last few years.

Tesseraction posted:Having had a "proper job" in their eyes before hitting the dole has shown me the way that it's two tier. I've posted about this in multiple iterations of the thread, but having an advisor who sees you as honestly trying (and probably "the right sort") makes a huge difference. On the couple of instances she was out of the office on holiday I had an absolute by-the-books excuse of a human who would gleefully threaten a sanction whenever I suggested, for instance, that I would probably be wasting my time in applying for the £140k Director role at HSBC just because I had worked in a financial services company in the past. So I applied, and now I'm earning £140k at HSBC! No, sorry, I mean 'So I applied, and heard nothing, for obvious reasons'.
