JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Sometimes, if I have too much butter on the knife after spreading my toast, I put it back in the tub even if it has toast crumbs all in it. I shuddered. Probably because when I was young my mum told me her boarding school stories from the 50s, where they'd scrape the butter off all the dinner plates back into the bowl so there'd be bits of old dinner in it come breakfast.

Hmm possibly have a job offer which could be contingent on being in Cambridge a few days a month for reasons (??). Could anyone speculate on how grim it would be to have to visit there regularly from Dublin? I've actually never been but I'm assuming there's a lot of decentish hotels or short-stay flats because of all the MNCs located there? If works paying the bill it could be fine I guess. Might be totally unworkable due to people being tax cunts tho

Thx for the Cambridge thoughts already people, but probably no need for anyone else to effortpost because I think the idea might already have been nixed by the Big Company HR going "No.  "

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Ed: nevermind, just saw your post saying HR had nixed it. Still appreciated, I'm having a call with the HR lad tomorrow to tell him to sort himself out, though it will most likely be futile. Figure I could just sleep on the floor in Stansted like back when I used to fly over for gigs when I was 19. My almost-middle-aged spine would enjoy that I think

Paperhouse posted:Cambridge itself is not a terrible place to be, but commuting there semi-regularly from Dublin sounds a bit horrid. Flying is presumably only a nice experience for people going first class or business class, for everyone else it's extremely tedious and uncomfortable I'm 6'6" so every flight fucks my poo poo up, but tbf Dublin-Stansted is only like an hour, I can handle that if I manspread hard enough

Total Meatlove posted:You’re paying an extra £60 to skip the security gate at Edinburgh and go sit in the lounge next to the posh BA one that does good measures. The Aer Lingus lounge in Dublin Airport was €35 last time I used it in 2019, and they just leave the bottles so you can get absolutely wrecked on quadruple Baileys and mini sandwiches and cheese and crackers. Fantastic value if you have a couple hours and enjoy being absolutely twisted on your flight

goddamnedtwisto posted:Just unprecedented levels of normality going on at Canary Wharf today - a military band playing what I *think* was Somewhere Out There while an unearthly siren blared from one of the buildings and the demolition works on the Reuters building provided a Rammstein-esque backbeat. I got video but unfortunately the wind noise completely blotted it out, but it genuinely was one of the most disorienting and disconcerting scenes I've ever walked through. Think you just wandered into an Einstürzende Neubauten concert there

goddamnedtwisto posted:Reminds me of the extremely weird protoScotNat campaign of trying to erase the "II" from the cypher on postboxes put up after Liz took the crown - "She's not the second Elizabeth up here!". Like they were okay with the concept of a monarch - and that monarch's symbol being on their post boxes - but they were *extremely* annoyed about the Anglocentric numbering system. I get it, but it's a really, really narrow window of outrage. Meanwhile the Irish state didn't even bother replacing the postboxes, just painted them green with all the ER/GR/VR symbols still visible
