Scottish independence polling still stubbornly seems to remain at 52% in support of the UK. Opinions are pretty entrenched. On the plus side independence has a massive majority with under 50s, so we just need to wait for natural attrition in the voting population.

It seems like a bad idea to keep dogs with a prey or herding instinct as pets. My partner has been moaning at me to get a husky, and sure they're cute but the also have an abundance of energy, get bored fast, and will maybe just maybe try and eat the cat. I dunno if a bull terrier is any more prone to snap than a bored out of its wits border collie. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Sep 11, 2023 |

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:They're often more aggressive towards people because folks don't bother training it out of them though. People walking little dogs who are pulling so hard on their leads that they're walking only on their hind legs, snarling and snapping at people and other dogs who come past, but the owners don't bother doing anything about it just because they're able to physically hold them back. Sure, but in a combat scenario where you are attacked by an off the rails chihuahua vs a staffy, I personally feel confident I could absolutely destroy the chihuahua and take only minimal damage.

Failed Imagineer posted:A fun thread fable of getting a British train, extremely functional system you got there. Did this happen last night? The hotel next to Ayr station went on fire which inexplicably caused basically every service to be cancelled (including services that do not go through Ayr). My partner called me in a panic as she was stuck in central with no information, a board full of cancelled trains, no indication of replacement busses. Take a bus home instead you say? Would probably have worked if Stagecoach didn't decide to totally gut their rural services earlier in the year removing all of the stops from the single X that stops in our town. She lucked out and managed to get a last chopper out of Saigon situaton, hopping on the last Glasgow to Carlisle train which had a stop with a connection to a local bus service (the local bus took 1hr 15 mins). The only other options after that would be a taxi or hotel (the hotel would probably have cost less). keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Sep 26, 2023 |

Would be nice to have a government that actually did something, just basic stuff you know like maintaining a working transport network, having adequately staffed and up to date hospitals/schools etc. Doing something about the sewage so it doesn't leak into the rivers, just things like that.

Josef bugman posted:Does anyone have any budgetting advice or help with funds atm. Just in general. Don't be like me and hide from your bank balance, check it everyday even if you know its in the red. Move all of your direct debits / standing orders to one day, preferably your payday (or equivalent) so you make sure that these are paid and you don't factor them into spending. Do shopping in bulk, get a delivery of tins, pulses pasta etc. Enough for the month (or two month if you can manage). Anything left over put in savings, even if it's just a few quid. Get in the habit. (I actually used an app called Chip which forced me to stay aware of daily spending and bank all excess funds every week, it really helped turn around bad habits).

Josef bugman posted:Also, what is a "business analyst" because when I am looking at job roles the term keeps coming up but it seems to just include secretarial things? It's a very broad title, could be anything from capacity / workforce planning, mi work, project management support. You'll need to be confident with spreadsheets probably and pretending you know what you're doing. You'll be looking at data, making tables and projections, stuff like that. Like the role actually varies wildly, as does salaries. It really depends on what sector you are in. Call centres for example will have analysts managing staff/service levels, other businesses will be more financial analysis. It's a bit of a job that you tend to fall into accidentally, but everyone tends to rely on them. keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 11:50 on Sep 27, 2023 |

If you can bike commute, then a new bike probably costs less than an annual travel card. I spent my poverty years just cutting around town on a rusty old beater which saved me about £50 p/m on busses/trains. You do have to deal with being cold and wet a lot of the time. Make a weekly budget and stick to it ruthlessly though (include some discretionary spend for fun stuff if you can). If you are in debt or overdraft then getting rid of that is a priority, and it's a real weight off your mind when you actually end the month +£20 rather than -£300. There's a finance thread somewhere that probably has better tips, accounts, tools for helping you. Vegitarianism is also a lot cheaper as long as you are cooking from scratch rather than eating processed meat substitutes, and it will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. edit: lol Starmer's hosed it quote:Westminster Voting Intention (Scotland): keep punching joe fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Sep 27, 2023 |

Skull Servant posted:It's very funny seeing the SNP remain significantly far ahead after a summer of "SNP ELECTORAL MELTDOWN" over a couple of polls where they were slipped 5 points (but were still about 10% ahead of Labour). Partly due to unpopularity of the SNP due to some stuff covid response, trans bill, nicola being arrested. Mainly though the media narritive had been based on the hopes and prayers of Labour, UK press. The poll that probably matters more is the 48-52 percent of voters who have fully given up on the union.
