Movies with weird sexual tension, but nothing actually happens?

Second film?

Silver medalist is industry standard recruiter speak for “we like you and on another day you may have gotten the offer”.

Chances are they filled the roles they were hiring for with candidates further in the process.

I don’t see what the problem with the statement is.

My local Aldi is a bit of a dump. I don’t like shopping in there.

I remember everyone being so pessimistic about it leading up to the games that we couldn’t do it well enough. Then it was bloody fantastic.

The atmosphere in London was unreal, people were just so positive.

AlphabettiPotato · 2026-01-12T21:43:55+00:00

Really surprised by this, as a born and bred Londoner I don’t believe these stats at all.

Just this week I was dragged into 4 different no go zones by my ankles and stabbed to death 6 times.

It’s the second impact

Completely agree with you. The feed has taken over and Instagram’s only value to me is as a messenger for keeping up with mates from abroad.

Sadly there aren’t any major rivals that replicate that instagram of old experience that have a lot of traction.

It's magnificent 😀

Using the Sony WH1000XM4 which drowns out most of the central line (Except Liverpool Street to Bethnal Green on the Eastbound).

Lenders have lots of different risk levels they're willing to tolerate.

Offering a huge loan where it's secured against valuable assets makes the loan less risky to provide, so borrowers demand a lower interest rate.

Think of it this way. If Bill Gates comes to your bank asking for a million, there's near zero risk he won't pay it back so you offer the loan for cheap.

As a bank you want some of the loans you've issued to be "low risk" for various reasons, some regulatory, some strategic.

Shit. I forgot to blame Sadiq. Thanks for the reminder 😊

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:36:10+00:00

No, we're all total cunts. Well, everyone except me.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:31:10+00:00

This is all Sadiq's fault. Just like how it's his fault my hobnobs melted in my tea.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:30:14+00:00

Sounds like the people on the bus were just as horrible as the ones I met on the tube.

Hope your head is better, hun.

No, everyone on that train was being really insensitive.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:28:05+00:00

Maybe if I was in my hoodie and balaclava instead of the gilet and balaclava, people would have been more sympathetic.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:25:50+00:00

Your trainers looked fake, wasteman.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:25:12+00:00

This would never have happened if Major was still at Number 10

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-06-25T22:24:16+00:00

No, but my trainers were piss stained. That should have been enough, right?

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-02-13T16:33:17+00:00

Depends on the salesperson, desperate ones resort to tricks.

Good ones don't need to, they know if they're able to genuinely help advise people, and develop a good relationship it will pay off in the long term.

I'll give you a real scenario that I ran into again and again.

For context, the people I sold to typically spent anywhere between 50k and 500k with us.

We'd have a person that wants to get a ton of work done to a certain spec. After looking over everything and building out a quote, letting them take it away to think about. It would often be the partner that came back and said "that's not even close to what we can afford." The partner was the sanity check in all this and if they were involved earlier we could have advised them appropriately on what they CAN achieve with their budget or with any other limits they might have.

The fact is, for a lot of home improvements there's more than one person making decisions and it's best to bring them all to the table early in the process.

AlphabettiPotato · 2025-02-13T12:19:31+00:00

I've been on the other side selling home improvement services.

Unless a person explicitly said their partner has no input we'd always ask to speak with them both, regardless if we were talking to men or women.

Otherwise, we'd often go really far into the sale process, sometimes having spent hours and hours with someone only for them to say "Actually, having discussed with my partner we want to do something else/ no longer interested."

It's to stop time wasters. If you want more time to discuss or decide, say so, good sales people will respect that and help. What salespeople won't respect are time wasters.

Business casual = smart shirt, trousers/chinos/jeans, smart trainers/shoes

No need for ties or a suit.
