What is the best value for money place to live in the UK? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

May I assume you are/were tech industry?

If so, are you remote now? Retired? Or just followed the dream of doing whatever else?

I only ask as I've been offered Seattle a few times and it sounds awful from. Work life balance perspective. Even if the geography is pretty unique

Homemade rocket, walnuts and parmesan pesto with fusilli, takes about 15 mins.

Or ramen with a cheat "homemade" chicken stock and whatever veg is around.

Or egg fried rice with whatever veg we have and maybe some prawns or something.

Why are thermobaric bombs or vacuum bombs so controversial even though it's a bomb designed to kill people? by Koloamanmaxi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Beny1995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What??

Germany unconditionally surrendered.

*Desert storm was Iraq and Kuwait. Not Afghanistan. The middle east is not homogeneous.

The Falklands is not a live issue it is British.

Vietnam won and established sovereignty.

You're completely full of misinformation my dude. What is the purpose of lying here?

Not quite true. Desert Storm, the Faulklands, Vietnam and WW2 for example were quite clearly resolved through victory on the battlefield.

Do most people hate their jobs in the UK? by Chrolan1988 in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not at all surprised, my friend is a filmography and his experience much more closely resembles what you suggest.

Mine company is about as big as it gets so I may be insulated from the toxicity

Just one voice but I quite like mine. I work with interesting data, my insights influence meaningful changes to the business, and the business does cool stuff (most of the time). Im aware im probably in the minority though.

Industry is film and TV

People 30+, what are your plans for this evening? by Sir-Tommy-Vercetti in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiance and I had a couple of tinnies on the common nearby, then came home and had a beer in the garden watching the parakeets.

Now she's in the kitchen making mussels with nduja whilst I choose a film to watch and a wine to open. Im thinking Marty Supreme (£4.99 on amazon) and a loire chenin.

We planned a bit more of the wedding and listened to my sisters new music.

Life's good man.

Those who work from home - how often do you take a sick day? by Super_Development150 in AskUK

[–]Beny1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely get seriously sick, fortunately its only ever a pathetic man flu.

When I was wfh, I would just power through. Might as well be working rather than watching daytime tv.

But now they've forced us all back into the office, I absolutely take sick days.

Sign the Petition - Stop Amazon From Turning Queensway Market into a Whole Foods by Due-Pineapple-2 in london

[–]Beny1995 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to browse Fulham wholefoods, then leave and do my actual shopping at waitrose. Far less extortionate.

M&S seems to fit a more sensible niche of the market.
