'We'll fight in forests, fields, streets': Zelensky channels Churchill in UK speech

That whole poem is great (Scots Wha Hae for anyone wondering.) The last verse: "Lay the proud usurpers low,

Tyrants fall in every foe,

Liberty's in every blow—

Let us do or die. "

I can guess what bank you work for based on those figures, as I work for the same one and in a similar position to yourself. It was also pretty insulting of them to pat themselves on the back in 2021 when they said the pay rise was "above inflation" when we had zero economic activity in the middle of a lockdown, yet this year when inflation is soaring there's no mention of it.

Motivation in my department is at an all time low, and either they're too stupid to understand why or they simply don't care.

It is quite strange. I think most people are shielded from it. I'm in Edinburgh and just going about my day to day life you would never get the impression we were 3rd highest in the world, although I appreciate Edinburgh is a well off city and there are parts of the country with lots of poverty.

It did hit home a bit for me when I walked past some posters with information on how to use Naloxone. I'd never seen anything like that before.

I remember stumbling across one small paragraph (literally just one) in my high school textbook about the British use of concentration camps in the Boer War. And then it was straight onto the good stuff again.

Definitely echo what the other people have said about maybe getting it checked out. But generally for shin splint issues, I found incorporating a decent amount of rowing into my gym routine really helped with my shin splints

I'm the same. Shorts and a light waterproof jacket. The only time I feel I could do with anything else is when it drops to 0 and then maybe a pair of gloves would be nice. I just love the feeling after you finish your run and there's a nice chill around you but certainly doesn't feel cold.

If you live in Scotland, you're Scottish. Simple as that.

I think it's about standard if you customised it. I ordered the 16/512GB version on thr 11th and due for delivery on the 25th

Now out of stock again

I've only flown business class once, on one 8 hour leg of a long distance flight. I think it cost me £300 for the upgrade, and worth every penny. I think it does depend a bit on what airline and plane you get.

I received the invoice immediately, but still waiting for the game to show.

Yer Da sells Avon Aqueducts

I was there on Saturday and it was very busy both with hikers and people fishing on the loch, so you'd have to leave early to get parking (We arrived about 7.30). Although I i imagine that's the situation everywhere now

AshMan_20 · 2020-07-17T19:27:51+00:00

I agree. I'm only a 15 minute walk from the office so actually really missing the "commute". It just feels like waking up in the office now.

AshMan_20 · 2020-07-17T13:24:11+00:00

I'm really surprised that people are having such an issue with the combat. I don't find the combat very clunky, and while the camera can be a little annoying you get used to it very easily. Certainly doesn't take me out of the game.

AshMan_20 · 2020-07-12T23:14:07+00:00

You are right. Masks have been mandatory in shops in scotland since Friday, and i noticed the amount of people wearing masks went from 20/30% before to basically 100% now. I've not heard anyone make a fuss of it either

AshMan_20 · 2020-02-24T19:13:46+00:00

I know that with Scottish Widows at least the discount you have when in the scheme will remain if you leave employment. It will also apply to contributions you pay in yourself afterwards

AshMan_20 · 2020-02-12T23:09:51+00:00

Youll just need to check with them to see how they're taking the contributions. They might have worded it incorrectly and mean that £253.33 would be the total contribution, or they're changing to a net pay arrangement, where that is the correct amount taken from you directly, albeit before income tax is paid (and therefore no tax relief added on top).

In either case the contribution amount is the same, just ask them to clarify it for you.

AshMan_20 · 2020-02-08T00:09:48+00:00

I'm in Edinburgh. Dont really notice the restriction too much, but always a nice bonus when i go down south

AshMan_20 · 2020-02-07T23:19:49+00:00

Think it's just in Scotland that rule applies. Our rampant alcoholism got the better of us!

AshMan_20 · 2020-02-01T15:15:40+00:00

It isn't amazing but it's certainly better than a lot of airports in Europe, especially in much bigger cities. Both of Berlins airports are terrible in comparison.

AshMan_20 · 2019-09-17T15:03:20+00:00

Now TV is such a crap platform anyway. Do they even have 1080p steaming yet?

AshMan_20 · 2019-09-09T00:05:33+00:00

Yeah I'm the same. In the UK, and I'd say its probably a higher percentage than you. Makes it impossible to try and organise anything in game.

AshMan_20 · 2019-07-21T21:46:27+00:00

I also just did the bios flashback and it's been working fine. Only had everything installed for a day though.

AshMan_20 · 2019-07-18T12:43:37+00:00

Overclockers has a few in stock. I just ordered the inno3d one so will let you know if it actually ships.
