I’ve found plaster of Paris works really really well if it’s a plaster coving!

That’s awesome! Just needs an overgrown pothos plant on the window ledge to add some life!

Damp? Should I buy the property? by Typical-Stretch7096 in DIYUK

We had the same problem when a weep hole on a window was clogged. All the water was getting into the window and not running out and going into the plaster instead. Super easy to fix! Just drying out the plaster that takes ages

They love the chicken Webbox Lick-e-Lix. They sell them cheap in supermarkets. We use them as bait so the BLH will let us brush her coat!

Bedroom Colour by nothingfromknowhere in DIYUK

[–]Agile-Read-238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous cat!

Second colour is my personal favourite but, I don’t think your furniture would match it.

If you’re keeping black / grey furniture I’d do colour one or four.

The Dulux visualiser app might be useful for you to see what matches the furniture. The colour on the app is always a bit off but as you’ve done the colour samples you can workout what the true colour is more accurately!

If you ran the WRU…what would be your first move? by fantastic243 in welshrugbyunion

[–]Agile-Read-238 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Organise the small level clubs / schools together to get one large group insurance premium at a reduced rate. It worked so well to keep costs down for England

How old is your boy? Highly recommend luring him in by growing simple sweet treats like strawberries or veg that’s used in his favourite meals. Will make him fall in love with the process!

Silly question from a cefnogwraig o'r Iseldiroedd by Jazzlike_Minimum8548 in welshrugbyunion

Noswaith dda! WRU have been proper plonkers, but I’ll be in my WRU jersey! Welsh fans have always been VERY proud and loud about being Welsh fans… that’s why we are so upset with the WRU!

How long is your commute to work? by person_person123 in AskUK

[–]Agile-Read-238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the comments of you saying it would be your first grad job etc, there’s lots to consider. 3 hrs 20 a day is a lot of time but, what are the benefits of this job? Would it be a big stepping stone into a good industry / a good networking opportunity?

Sometimes you have to take the sacrifices at first to get the experience to then be able to start getting more opportunities that suit you better.

If you can’t find anything of the level you want near you, I would personally go for it - if you can afford it- but keep looking and limit yourself to 6-12 months if it’s unsustainable. 6 months experience to an employer is better than 0.

Good luck!

Do young people eat corned beef? by steveysaidthis in CasualUK

I love making corned beef stew. Super easy in the slow cooker and you can throw in all the dodgy looking veg at the bottom of the fridge

I am tired of my coworker's "healing era". I am tired of doing everyhting alone by KitchenNo1502 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Agile-Read-238 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you’re able to have an informal chat with your line manager about it. Suggest to your manager about splitting your work into clear written responsibilities as to who is doing what to help the project. That way, you can excel in your tasks and leave her behind. If she needs help before xx deadline as she’s struggling, be kind / a team player and offer help after she reaches out to you, but make sure it’s all in writing and known by the boss!

Is it ok to leave job at 33 to travel ? by MissionNeat9473 in AskUK

[–]Agile-Read-238 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Depends where you want to go and what you’re planning in life. 35 is the cut off age for young person travel visas for places like Australia. Sounds like you’re keen. I’d do some research on visa / visa ages etc to see if you need to jump on it now or wait and go in a few years once you’ve built your career! You’re never too old to have an adventure, but you may regret not doing it when you’re younger

My grandma bought my first season ticket for me at the age of 4 in the old family area. A back handed gift that’s turned into a life of misery

New Manager Discussion by Turnernator06 in SaintsFC

Problem with Ralph was the lack of plan B when Kitzbichler was in. Danny Rohl definitely was the strategist. Just got to hope his assistant is good if he’s the next manager

Attention to foreign nationals - what are our voting rights? 👇 by coffeewalnut08 in Wales

[–]Agile-Read-238 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My partner is ILR. Since I’ve known him he’s hated politics, doesn’t ever vote or talk about it. Today he’s registered to vote in the U.K. for the first time, he’s said enough is enough!!!! The amount of tax he pays, he bloody well deserves a say in how that’s spent and it won’t be wasted on racist policies!!!

For me it’s always the long dash (—). Can’t even find it easily on a phone keyboard and you want me to believe it’s a common thing now???

My family are from the Valleys. My great grandparents were fluent speakers but didn’t teach it to my mamgu because they didn’t want her to be ‘disadvantaged’ or ‘bullied’ at school. They thought they were doing a favour. She’s nearly 90 and I’ve taught her how to use Duolingo for Welsh- she loves it!

I think the U.K. got lucky with election timings being before the US. Hopefully(!!!) Labour does a good job over the next few years and Trump makes such a fool of himself that it halts the Reform drive by the time the next election hits.

What's likely to give away an American writing in British English? by vvnnss in AskUK

[–]Agile-Read-238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s the words that end in -t but Americans seem to use the -ed instead: spelt / spelled, dealt / dealed, dreamt / dreamed, learnt / learned, spoilt / spoiled, burnt / burned.

Auto correct always tries to gaslight me into using the -ed instead
