I work in an electrical wholesalers. My work pattern is: Monday-Friday 0730-1730 For this i get an additional 2 weeks on top of my 28 days and i get a bonus every year. Also the working environment is not so bad and it fairly flexible for my needs (child care and medical appointments) It not the most hours i have worked in a week for a job and it not the shortest but it is very close to home in an industry i like.

The Lock ness monster The Black shuck The Welsh dragon The Scottish Haggis And my favourite The brownies

I only remember three books. First book i actually read from start to finish Oliver twist Random books i remember we read at school but I’m not sure if they were required reading or just suggestions. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein James Herbert the Rats

Yes and sort of lol Yes for my old surgery because that what you did. But my newer surgery and other place and this is especially true after Covid but they now collect you and walk you to the room and i do not have to touch a single door with my hand. The only door i ever touch now related to a doctor anywhere is the main entrance.

Always and i repeat always take time off if you are sick. It will benefit the people around you a great deal more than if you turn up sick. Not only will you be the slowest you will most likely spread what you have and cause more people to be off sick. So always take time off to recover. Unless you have a hang over then thats your own problem and you gotta turn up lmao

I was placed in care myself from 13 to 17. I had 2 families and a care home. First family super controlling no TV after 8PM no lunch bigger then a sandwich and dinner had to be from a cafe for some reason no home cooked meals. Later on i found out the husband and wife were divorced and living separately which i promptly informed my social worker about as i really didn’t like the family it took a small investigation and a month for them to prove me correct and for them to be barred from fostering. Second family were pretty decent overall but sadly they didn’t know how to treat a child with extreme peculiar behaviours and also they kept comparing me to a previous foster child which i did not care for. Lastly a kids home it was the greatest place for me personally. I got to do what i liked i had a large selection of adult to lean on and they knew how to treat me well plus 3 meals a day guaranteed. I eventually got old enough to move out and it was an alright transition although social services in my area were not great for after care support so took a while. I would say overall it was all good i suppose but the kids home was the best personally.

Between 0 and 100 times a day lol

Im a happy adult. Me M41 a father of 3 daughters a grandfather to 1 grandson. My work pay is just under the median. I do not own a house (will be looking this year). I had what is considered an awful childhood (i think I was always sad the. But it becoming hard to remember) but once i was put into care my life got 100% better. But to be the happy person i believe its a combination of things that i believe anyone can do. I do not have contact with around 60% of my family (my choice) mainly my parents and aunty and uncles. I have simple hobbies, I’m a gamer I fly kites and work on my motorbike. Im not massively ambitious person but i am slowly moving up at my own rate. Im in a stable relationship with someone and have been for 10 years and by nature they are emotionally chill. I also have an incredibly small group of people i socialise with but i am an introvert so i think that is normal for me. No matter the situation i know it can be fixed or wont matter later on. And if you ask most people about me I’m not normal and I’m kind to those around me but never outside people around me. Also lastly I am acutely aware of the greater problems the world has and I have solutions but I’m not ambitious and i do not plan on being a politician. At the end of the day i do not socialise too much i mainly keep to myself and i have simple interests and i do not stress about things that can be fixed. Now the question should be what can you do to simplify your life will cutting people out help or does long term planning your career help or lastly not worry about thing you literally cannot do anything about help. Only you known the answer and being part of reddit for a ling while has shown you will find many people who think and feel like you do so keep in mind your not alone.

My parent have always had no real cooking ability. The height of spice in our house was my mother putting garlic in a food that normally wouldn’t have it. Same for my grand parents they would put salt into the food to give it flavour. Once i lived on my own i had every type of spice and herb going juts because. I do think it’s more generational and maybe wealth related. But heard to say.

I still make mine it pretty easy to do for iPhone. Im just not sure the legality of it but they do get made from music i own (physical copies)

Bruce Forsyth although he is dead bow and even doubt the younger lot know of him much.

Where I’m from people just used this as an excuse to rig their meters. Only a few people got caught and the ones that didn’t only don it when they are off work or on the weekends. Basically high consumption times.

Wax paper and a upside down cup or glass

Not sure of this is relevent but i am the person who looks like i am copying mannerism of another person especially if i am around them a longtime. But in my case i am neurodivergent (Autism) and a lot of my habits are related to me auto masking. For me after a while i can stop it if i notice and if it is detrimental to the relationship. I have met many who are fully unaware they do it at all. If your live in landlord is on the spectrum then this could be normal or any related neurodivergent area. But if not then it os truly odd behaviour for neurotypical or at least in my experience so far.

The sugar here would be key here then dehydration and well do any of us get enough sleep lol.

Well i will always call in sick when i am sick but so far that just been 2 working days of the year and one was my youngest child. I have been unfortunate to not be ill during my working days but overall this year has been pretty good i have only have minor ailment with a grand total of 7 days total. Usually I’m ill 2 weeks of the year which would normally seem me off work around 4 days. But i suppose i do enjoy my work so really minor illnesses wont see me off and i also get an additional 1 week of a year on top of the legal minimum.

My father hand a similar issue with his computer many years back. Except his was not a small screw it was a 4 inch screw and when i asked him about it he simply said i don’t know son. Anywho i found out later he tried cleaning the PC himself and i think the screw was one of many that was on his work table.

Okey depending on certain cuts thickness and such the general secret for tastier bacon in restaurant and hotels is: Butter it nearly always butter and maybe a little salt but defo butter.

Two slice and no more. No matter what is i am putting on toast.

I know a place that does engravings I’m getting this laser engraved on a metal plate and putting it up above the toilet at work lmao.

It was and i now i see a reply with a song we can all get behind lol

I had a similar issue with a colleague we have no woman at my work but it still horrid. Anywho i knew who it was and every time he went in i went in afterward and made a bog song and dance about it. Eventually my other colleagues started chiming in as well. He eventually stopped.

In a regular oven you would cook a pizza at 180c for around 20-25 minutes. If this is some form of outside oven situation (wood oven or similar) then the temperature can fluctuate wildly and there for placing the pizza closer to the entrance would be preferable or in some case the very back. But no matter the technique it requires someone watching it which these were clearly never looked at until it was too late.

Back in the day me and my family decided to dig a hole in our garden in good old Cliftonville (margate). We dug around 4 x 4 meters and were only going to dig 4 meters down anywho we eventually ended up in a tunnel system and our hole was a lot bigger than we planned (if i remember rightly around 10m deep). Anywho after a little exploring we eventually reported it the council come out filled the tunnel system and that was that not a single mention of our very large hole. The only time i have know anyone to have an issue dogging a bog hole was on the beach for obvious reasons.

All pet ownership should be licensed in the uk with a minimum 2 week training course on how to best look after the animal you want. There should also be consideration of how many pets exist in a given area to reduce the risk of wildlife depopulation.

Nope And the inheritance my parent may get will be used to clear up there debts. So i have planned accordingly.

Exert your dominance by peeing on them when under your window. But if that does not work mix coffee, beans, flower, eggs, washing up liquid and finally squash. Blend in mixer till it is essentially puréed Leave it to mature for no less than 3 days. Boil some water and pour in on the day you wish to use it let it call and just chuck it on whenever a person appears under your window.

There is a lot of good answer people have given. But the reality is that it most likely going to become law to euthanise the elderly (then by extension the terminally ill and the incapable) most likely the age will be set around 80. Unless medical technology catches up and extended the healthy well being of a human ensuring they can work longer and be healthy. But I doubt it we as a species like to take the easy route a lot of the time especially under the current model of capitalism.

Apart from the mysterious crumbs that only appear on my side of the bed that both my child and missus denies was them. No I do not have items in bed that weird and somewhat concerning especially if it a mobile phone as they have been know to over heat and combust so maybe don’t have things in your bed.

Ok I have tested this a far bit. Now where I live is a little unique my internals are always between 2-4 cooler then outside unless it winter and it can be a fair bit warmer before heating is applied. Now I have a standard pedestal 12” fan literally nothing special what so ever it has 3 speeds and that it. Now depending on the size of the bottle and the speed of the fan you can get the temperature down a fair bit. But for comfort level I use two 500ml bottles of water strap to the back of my fan. I set the fan speed too 2. I put on the swivel. I ensure all sun facing windows are closed and the curtains are drawn. I close the bathroom door of my 2 bedroom flat. We leave the kitchen door closed but leave the window open. I can get the temperature down an extra 4c for around 30 - 45 mins this is great for the end of a work day especially if it has been hot. But I have yet to test this in a heat wave situation and I plan on putting up a reflective film on my windows. My freezer has a quick freeze compartment so I could keep this going constantly.

I have never taken a drug nor have been tempted but where I am from it can be a bit rough not many good career options and jobseekers was king. So the vast majority of friend and people I knew were on something. But what though was odd is they would somehow always have money for the stuff. Anywho around 70% of the people I knew are now dead from direct drug use issue or indirect health problem namely heart attacks.

My birthday I go down to a really nice place called the quills which does one of the best fry up ever. Otherwise probably around 4-6 times a year I use to eat them more often but not anymore. With the 4-6 times a year that is probably more of just me seeing family and spending time down at beanos.

In reality not much unless you put a heavy focus on communal spaces and cafe culture. Otherwise if you want diversity to return to the high street then you would need to ban online retail which let be honest will never happen lmao

Never in my life unless I get overtime in which case expect me at 4am. Otherwise I arrive on the dot not a minute earlier. There is a college of mine who turns up early to simply finish early but when I ask why he does this he tells me to ensure he has a quiet bit of the day to get tasks complete. Which would be fine except he is the least abled and least likely to compete any task.

I finish uni around that time which meant I did not have employment. Anywho I left the country with my last job seekers (£80 ish) and went to Bulgaria where I found work. Had a good time built some houses for British people and Bulgarians what I found out later was Mafia. Once I was back (after 2 years in Bulgaria) I managed to find a job first day back because the manger at a newly opened business though I was Bulgarian (I did not have an accent other then British and I look like an atypical British bloke). After a few months he wanted to know who taught me to have a British accent I said it helps to be born in the UK. Turns out my manger does not hire British people but by this point it was too late and I was literally the only person who could do any job but I never did overtime which my manager really hated. Apparently he did not like British people because we were not willing to work 18 hour days also he did not pay the overtime hours so there was no incentive what so ever. He later after I left the job got arrested for some minor crime and then deported back to India. Anywho I have not been out of work for a single moment since. I have also rarely got to use my uni qualifications for the field I studied for but I have also lost interest in that considering the sort of thing I wanted to do now pays peanuts. I earn enough to be happy but sadly not enough to own a house.

I lent someone 50p when I was in care last I checked my spreadsheet (he is the last person to owe me money) he owed a total or £3000 in interest alone. I am fully aware of where he lives and I still hold the agreed contract. I will one day collect. The person who was second longest paid recently after owing over £1000 for borrowing a £5. I stoped lending money as people take issue with my interest rates. My mother took the biggest issue when she borrow some money for a car and found she could not keep up with what she owed so I went through the proper process and got the money back by forcing her to sell the car and a few valuables.

There is some iffy apps in the world that also will call out using your phone for like 1 second and then delete the record on your end the only time you end up seeding the number has been called is via your phone bill.

Yeah it is grim but if money saving is the goal then this is the last step I would personally have available to me. Fortunately my financial situation is good and I do not need to do these myself. In winter once heating is on we can easily hit £200.

We are 2 adults and a child. I’m am also a pc gamer (high end pc) We have a fridge on all the time as well. My power usage is nearly identical to yours. I pay around £30 a week or around £120 a month. Your usage sounds normal to me. The only way I know to get things down a bit more is it: Only use washing machine after 12 at night Only eating cold food (unless you have gas then continued eating hot food) Turn off any unnecessary heating. Put a timer on any storage heater unless inbuilt for water 12 at night electricity usage. Keep lights off. And that all I got as those would applies to me as they are the only next step I have left to me.

No But then again I have full control of all my emotion and can pick and choose. But regardless of that I have decided to leave this world a certain way which will most likely make people happier after I am gone even though I really do not care for their feelings I also know that I need to be considerate to those that I leave behind. Either that or take as many people out and spread as much misery as possible fortunately for wider society I’m a nice person.

Well I lived in Bulgaria and me and my friends would go to sunny beach in off season (still very hot but nothing really going on) and well it was interesting. There is issue and TBH it the same in a lot of areas. But here are a few things to keep note of. 1. Never leave anything of any value in your hotel room. 2. Have one of those body wallets that keep the money pounce close to your chest. 3. Do not under any circumstance buy street food (UK guts just ain’t built for that). 4. Do not buy anything from any of the stall seller or shops you could literally head for the closest town/city and find it half price. 5. Watch out for gypsies sadly this is a fact for Bulgaria but the one around sunny beach are probably gonna be the worst types to meet. FYI I have not lived in Bulgaria for 15 years now so a few things may of changed but from what I hear from my Bulgaria friends not by much. But if your open to a none beach holiday the rest of Bulgaria got plenty to offer for all sort of experiences my favourite was a western style trail ride (with a few bovine creatures) and you just rode around what I think was a mountain for about 4 days that was fun.

If they get on with each other get them a holiday golfing experience with a side of wine, beer and whisky tasting. I believe you can get that for places like Scotland France and I do believe Spain but it been a while.

I feel the same as when adult show an over attachment to sports and the like. I let them know it’s a bit sad (slang for absolute shit behaviour from them) and to grow up it just a game or whatever. Then I let them know there is a lot more enjoyable and controllable forms of entertainment than sports. But then what would I know I have literally show zero interest in any sport so meh.

I have zero interest in any sport. When it comes to my family the vast majority do not seem to have any interest in any sport. So as family culture goes it seems normal for us to have no interest in sports. But we do have interests, gaming is one anime is another and also in the sciences and this is family wide. So I wouldn’t worry too much about much if you got mate and they want to hangout with you even when you have no clue what they on about then they maybe good mates.

I do not speed as I use a speed limiter but I do work with someone who can complete any deliver route 1 hour quicker then anyone else. We at first thought he was dumping stuff but customer would let us know if they were not getting their deliveries. The. We thought he was taking shortcuts turns out no. Then the vans were fitted with trackers anywho he literally drives around 100MPH wherever he can no matter the road. He is now limited to how often he goes out In a van.

My company not a multi billion company but let say profits only then everyone in my company would get £100,000 each. But I know the 4 owners and they do not take more than £60,000 salary. There is a bonus structure that seems to very generous but obviously not £100,000 generous lol l.

Judging by what my work colleagues say yes they do. The oldest guy cracks open a bottle of whiskey when he gets home only claims to have 3 drinks from it. The youngest person is always straight to the pub and only claims to have 2 pints. Then he off home to have 2 more beers. The other guy did do that but he recently had a kid and so far has not gone back to that behaviour for now. And the sales manager is clearly an alcoholic but somehow does his job well. From what I can tell I’m the only one who has never done this nor has a desire too.

I learned BSL a few years back after my audiologist said that my ability to hear is fine above average even but I was either not able to or not wanting to actually listen. Anywho after my massive leap in logic I now know BSL and my ability to listen has improved as I now visualise language differently (sign, words and written all at the same time) I have also managed to use it a whole 8 times in 7 years lmao I am now super rusty I may do a refresher. Although the other day I was watching doctor who and he signed in BSL and there was no subtitles an I had to tell my missus what was said lol so it has it perks. I did for a time got my youngest to use BSL for emotions or food but once she fully understood words she pretty much lost interest.
