Look some pillock named Greg tried to live off of yellow sticker items and found it really hard. https://twitter.com/MENnewsdesk/status/1498636200458039298 Apparently man cannot live of yellow sticker items alone. But a couple in your weekly shop is alright. Yeah, cheers Greg.

Mega Comrade posted:My parents still have a faint Welsh accent but when they get on the phone to a relative you can almost plot the (time on call / accent strength) on a chart. My father came from the Rhondda and moved to Newport early in his adult life but never lost his accent but when he was speaking to his family or speaking a bit of Welsh it definitely got stronger.

Went to work yesterday after having a tooth removed, not the smartest thing I've ever done. Speaking of not smart things. On the weekend a gang on the night shift said they'd been forced to work 13 hours because they'd worked from 8pm to 9am. No amount of explaining about the clocks going forward would move them. Still, 12 hour shifts are poo poo and can gently caress off.

All this talk of learning to drive. I haven't driven for nearly a decade but really want to get back into it. Has anyone ever had some type of refresher lesson to get their knowledge/confidence back up?

Nothingtoseehere posted:Most driving instructors will do those with you for the same rate as normal lessons (since it's the same time used). It's not an uncommon request they get - fairly common, especially from people who learnt to drive abroad and have moved to the UK. I need to research my local driving instructors. Owning a car is so expensive but at the moment I'm working a lot and a car would be a huge advantage.

I do think Johnson and co lying about the party is very consequential in the grand scheme of things because if they'll lie about something so apparently inconsequential can we trust them on anything? On the really big things that matter to everyone? No we can't and if we let them get away with this then they can get away with anything. 1+3=4 I'm sure that's important to numerologists somehow.

My parents weren't people who smacked their kids. None of my sisters ever got smacked and I think my brothers has less than a handful of smacks between them. I was given a smack a couple of times as a kid. The second time I was 13 and my mum couldn't hit me hard enough to hurt me so I really didn't care. When I was 17 my dad and I got into a proper fist fight that ended with us rolling on the floor, my dad getting me around the throat and me about to put a thumb in his eye before we realised how hosed up the whole thing was. He took me down the pub and bought me a few drinks as a sort of apology. Also: British PM Johnson signals visa flexibility with India to win trade deal quote:British Prime Minister Boris Johnson indicated he was ready to offer more visas to India in return for this year clinching a free-trade deal that could boost annual bilateral trade by billions of pounds. Those people that voted for Brexit to keep out the immigrants must be jumping on their hats.

There's bound to be a bunch of "Oh legal immigration is alright, it's illegal immigration that I'm against." But plenty must still be against immigration of any type, unless it's very rich people.

Victory for the workers everyone! I'm working a few hours away from home on a 16 day blockade. The core gang were given a half decent hotel with a food allowance. Meanwhile additional workers such as myself were put in a worse hotel, with no food allowance and nowhere around to buy food apart from a Burger King and Waitrose in a petrol station. Anyway everyone complained including the core gang that this was unfair and, after the first block of work, we wouldn't be going back to work until this was changed so everyone was in the same type of hotel and had food allowance. All us additional workers have been moved into the better hotel and have a food allowance!!

Hello UKMT goons, are you or anyone you know unemployed? Do you/they lust after a job that will just butcher their/your quality of life? Where your loved ones will be annoyed at the fact you'll be working away from home for weeks at a time? To work in a job where the pay isn't great but the work is hard? Where you'll work for 4 weeks straight from 6am-4pm the suddenly have to work from 10pm-8am? That when you suggest this will cause fatigue you will be looked at with derision and told that you have atleast 24 hours off and that fatigue is your problem to deal with? That you'll work 6 days a week knowing the money you earn on one of those shifts will be taken by an umbrella company? Where you can work in blistering heat shovelling ballast or in the dead of night at -2 in the driving rain shovelling ballast? Where racism and misogyny is common? Then get your PTS and get on the rails, there's a shortage of workers and tons of work on at the moment. Just think, you to could be working 4 hours away from home, staying in the finest 2* hotel your company can legally get away with, spending money on poor quality food because hey, you're here to earn money not spend money all the while working on a project that seems to have been planned by a gibbon flinging its poo poo at a board!

Bobby Deluxe posted:https://twitter.com/HardDriveMag/status/1529084848652136448?t=nOIsBXoLHtpkn0OMk-iJ9A&s=19 I recently watched his new special and it's really strange because at the start he says some jokes that are based around anti-trans talking points. Then he goes on to say it's all parody and you shouldn't get offended etc... etc... But in the show all his trans jokes are based around anti-trans talking points. So I wonder how many anti-trans jokes do you have to say before you go past the point of parody/irony and are just anti-trans? or anti-gay or racist? He also tells anti-religious jokes, does that mean he is actually religious and a supporter of people's religion? Because he seems to just shrug at any criticism and say "it's all parody." Also I have never, never heard another comedian laugh at their own jokes as much as Gervais. Nobody finds Ricky Gervais funnier than Ricky Gervais. Sometimes I think the only reason people laugh is because he's laughing and it's kind of infectious. bessantj fucked around with this message at 15:56 on May 25, 2022 |
