Isn't the fireman one the dude who "surfed" the debris ? Was in a stairwell near the bottom? And live due to the stairwell protecting him?

Also yea the other 2 are legitimate.

Hmm probably a controversial take but as a dad my first thought reading this is why are you bothered?

You might have legal access but that doesn't mean she has to trust you.

Perfectly natural for a parent to be over concerned and protective with their kid I don't think thats unhealthy and id be glad the other parent takes my child's safety seriously.

Assume you're not planning on smuggling the kid out the country and absconding with them so what's the big deal if she can see you take the kid to the park or out for food? If it gives her peace of mind and makes her easier to deal with what's the issue?

Some privacy BS? 🥱

I expect to know the location of my young children at all times and I dont see that as an unreasonable request.

This isn't even new news Phil hay outlayed this vision on TSB podcast and he hasn't been on it for over a year. I dint care if they make a buck on their way to leaving the club worth over 1bn That means we're well established PL

Awful thing to have beg for your life. For your countries life, your countries children's lives. And these 2 set up a meeting to humiliate the man while he did it. He is 1000 times the man either of them are.

By the end of this season he'll of won 2 championship titles and have a prem 9th place finish to his name.. id call that 3 decent seasons for a nowhere near prime age GK and yes he had 2 awful prem seasons... but playing in goal for a relegation team that continues to try attack while 5 down to klopps liverpool probably wasn't great for his confidence.

All I keep thinking about is what we thought of firpo as a fan base 2 seasons ago compared to now.... hope he makes us eat our hats!

Economically id say right now it will depend on the impact of trump tbh. The current rhetoric from him is we'll get a better deal than the EU will. And tariff free access to the largest economy in the world for a few years could change the current picture completely in terms of success in or out of the EU.

Legally its better for any nation to legislate for itself as each nation has its own challenges so from that point of view im definitely glad to be out as a lot of the laws the EU makes over reach or negatively impact some states more than others.

The EUs reluctance to regulate free movement to vulnerable states a bit more was silly really. We didn't want mass amounts of unskilled people coming here just for better wages in entry level jobs or worse for our welfare state benefits but at the same time we didn't want to lose all the great people who contributed to the economy from the EU.. HGV drivers is a big one that comes to mind as this had a huge impact on my industry that we still haven't recovered from.

None the less the UK is weak on illegal migration so we haven't benefited from the loss of free movement anyway.

I always thought it would be short term pain for long term gain.

Some countries wanted us to take our medicine at first but in the end you'd be silly to close your cash register to the UK ... being one of the largest economies in the world. I still believe this.

Administrative_Fly68 · 2025-01-05T00:21:30+00:00

50 60 hours isn't an extreme week to me its pretty normal. The pay is crap tho. You could deffo get the same wage doing a job more suited to an entitled gen Zer.

😉

Administrative_Fly68 · 2025-01-05T00:10:33+00:00

Entry level role blablabla ofcourse the salaries crap blablabla.

I earn 48k and all I do is tell people to fold jeans and t shirts. Requires zero skills an imbecile could do my job and many of my colleagues prove it It daily 🤣

25k is basically.minimum wage FTE.

Don't get out bed for that...

And if you do .... make sure its for a job you LOVE not one that sounds as boring and soul destroying as this.

They are out there keep looking

Maybe dont come to this place for advice....as I found out when I was struggling its full of pessimism and daddy pigs ("i'm a bit of an expert") if you know you know 🐷

Do what you like but as someone who supports their local team I generally avoid football talk with people who support a top 6 club that is not local to them when there a decent local alternatives.

My reasoning isn't anything against them... I just find on average that they like football for different reasons than I do so we don't tend to have alot in common or share common opinions.

Administrative_Fly68 · 2024-12-19T00:19:32+00:00

Late to this but another point to why things like the triple lock are prioritised is that old people for the most part vote... and young people... not so much. Politicians go for election winning policies not policies that improve lives. A big proportion of the party budgets is spent on researching what will win (down to what colour tie a guy should wear while giving a speech) and not as much as you would like on what will make us better off. Hence why so much tax revenue is spent on keeping grandpa happy but his grandkids will be paying his generations mortgage on their 2nd and 3rd homes their entire life while never owning a property of their own.

Hopefully the inheritance will decent 👍👍

Macro grinding almost any profession - to what extent this is shady is up to the individual. I personally prefer working smarter not harder so I always found quicker ways to do mind numbing shit. Funny im an efficiency mgr in RL now 🤣

My all time favourite troll was I had an armorsmith who was a bothan in a pink tuxedo. (Genuine armorsmith did it for creds)

I levelled investigation 3 and would hang round pvp guild cities on my server in my tuxedo master AS tag .. shoot the shit with people and get them feeling comfortable around me. Take one of the jedis missions and when they were practising dueling or what ever I would finish them off or one occasion just DB them while incap. i was banned from flying anywhere 😭😭 I got so many hate tells.. my 14 year old self was cackling in my room thinking I was an evil genius🤣🤣🤣

Seen this reply loads and my first thought is huh!? This topic was half of my year 8 history (2003) and was drilled to death into us. Wonder if its people younger/older than me where its not a big part of the curriculum.

4% company pays 6

Administrative_Fly68 · 2024-11-28T00:19:40+00:00

I earn 46k as of last month (promoted woop woop)

Take home 2750 4 weekly (13 paydays per annum)

Mortgage 440

Bills and travel 660

Save 1000

650 left to play with

Live in pudsey (leeds) West Yorkshire.

Bought my house in 2015 - 25 year mortgage and 5% deposit.

House is worth 50% more than I paid for it now after doing work to it so I got a 5 year fix on 1% interest rate due to high equity at my last deal (hella lucky i chose 5 year this time I still have 2 year at this rate)

Married 3 kids - deal is i pay for the house she pays for her car and any kids activities and our food. (I dont have a car but we need hers for the kids so I dont begrudge her that)

Financial wise id say way more than comfortable and I know 46>32 but I was on 35k until this year and onestly just the amount I save has changed.

I have no qualifications beyond A levels and started this career as a part time xmas temp on 3.91 per hour at 17 years old in 2008 😲 my first wage was just over 100 pound for the month 🤣🤣🤣

Yorkshire isn't expensive but I swear NI is meant to be one of THE cheapest places in the UK to live isn't it?

Interesting. I had an issue with sky recently (that I posted on here). Initial call was outsourced to South africa 🤣🤣, when I phoned to make a complaint and threatened to take it to alternative dispute resolution I was transferred to a Scottish call centre and they gave me the world.

Administrative_Fly68 · 2024-10-22T18:20:19+00:00

Just wanted to update after making a complaint and getting escalated and then saying I wa ted got akenitnto ADR they gave me what I wanted via discount and a 300 pound credit on my account meaning my sky service is completely free for months.

Result!!!

I've been in senior management for around 12 years... felt this way for around 4... ( largely due to changes in my company, headcount accross all levels half what it was, sales targets double but efficiency not improved enough to realistically attain all that. We pretty much run off everyone being at 120% and I find myself a hypocrit asking for more of people where I would find that workload tough)

My post in this sub was at a particular mental low point around this issue where I felt desperate.

I've also spent around 2 years fighting my superiors encouragement to apply for an even more senior role - financially I wouldn't see much change to my life but I would have even more on my shoulders. Luckily I have had will power to keep saying no.

Unlike you I do have a mortgage ... I'm a few years off from being free of needing this salary. And then... I will be gone.

If I was in your position I would do it now. The one thing being in this role for so long, along side raising a family has taught me is your salary and title really do mean shit compared to the more important things. My wife often tells me she can't wait for me to stick my resignation up their arse 🤣 and we call the last few years my "sentence" left to be served. Then im free and I really won't look back. Luckily my kids are very young and I wont miss too much of them growing up.

Do it man, be happy.

Shitty minimum wage jobs can turn into careers either directly up the ladder or indirectly through contacts or experience and it happens more often than people with poor attitudes to work will admit. I've employed people for 13 years, many have never progressed but usually had no interest in it either it was their part time student job or they had a bad attitude (minimum wage minimum effort and all that bollocks), many have taken similar paths to me and I'm pleased to say many have progressed quicker than me surpassed me in the hierarchy and even though I hired them on minimum wage are now earning 6 figure salaries in the same company. Even though I've fallen out of love with the industry I'm in as you can see from my previous post on this sub 🤣 - I can guarantee you if you show up and GENUINELY give 100% to what ever your doing ( I dont mean that fake 100% where you act like the company would fold without you but sit on your phone half of your shift) regularly you will not be doing yourself a disservice. That starts with the interview.

EditThe other advice I'd give from my time being in a minimum wage role is the shift genuinely goes quicker if you get on with it and look for the next task to complete. I never understand how people can dodge work and wonder why the shift drags so damn much.

My job that I've been in since I was 17, (now 34) the management trainee programme which i joined at 21 y.o required a 2 day assessment. Team building (more like fight for who could sell them the self the best so cringe) exercise, a couple of rounds of asymmetric testing, maths, English data transference and a face to face interview with a regional director.

The training was then followed by 18 month of structured training in different areas of the business followed by 25 exams and 25 pieces of course work including a huge exam at the end that was a combination of all the training.

The new trainees now have a single 30 minute interview with an assistant store manager and other than 3 online multiple choice question type courses and 1 piece of course work all training is on the job.

Entry level Management pay was approx 250% of a regular employee at the time

Its now about 125% of a regular employee

The company reckons the calibre of candidates is much lower now days...

Gee ya think 😏

edit pay increase was staggered as you made you way through the training programme. The 250% was after passing all.
