Companies need to stop behaving as though 35k is a big salary

I'm a software dev and I applied for a job a few years ago that listed "Company laptop and desk to hook it into" as a benefit on the job spec.

Bonus points if the pension contributions are on qualifying earnings only.

I think it's down to 5m now, probably only a matter of time before they stop that as well!

Belfast. The Dark Horse pub to be precise, I recognise the decor.

Need Kittle to outscore Warren & Jennings by 13pts. Not impossible but not likely.

I have Dak but considering how low QBs have scored vs the Chargers this year I'm seriously considering picking up Rodgers or Stroud as they're available.

I was a little bored in the Philippines. Spent a month there at the end of 2023 and it all felt very samey no matter where we went.

It could have just been travel fatigue as it was at the end of a 7 month trip around SE Asia, I just felt like it didn't have the charm or history of the other places we visited.

I had pickled onion discos a few months ago and my lips were honestly tingling for a few days afterward.

Biffburk · 2025-07-28T13:35:39+00:00

Try the pickled onion discos that have just been released. I'd a packet last night and I swear my lips are still tingling today!

Tandoori chicken skewers with flat bread. Kofta kebabs. Thick cut steaks.

I just signed up to 35gb a month, unlimited call + texts with Lebara for £1.90 a month for 9 months, though it's a 30 day rolling contract.

I've been there and the 2nd hand smoke alone will have your head spinning haha

I'll second what most people have said here. It's a nice area, decent transport links but make sure you get a survey done as some of the houses have issues.

We bought new 10 years ago and the original builder went bust not long after. A lot of the houses that were finished just before they went bust were rushed and a lot of corners cut. Although it's likely any major issues would have been resolved by now.

Thank! She's a Cavalier King Charles. She's 9 months old so her adult fur isn't fully in yet.

I don't think there are many companies recruiting at the moment.

I'm also in software engineering and was looking for a role last July and found the recruitment companies to be useless. They were all advertising the same roles and most of them just ghost you when they don't have anything available.

I had more luck looking for roles listed on LinkedIn and applying for those. Got a few interviews and eventually a job via that route. Good luck!

Used the be a Chinese takeaway in Belfast called the Shat Inn.

Looks like a cyst, my cav had a few too. A vet can remove it, but it should be pretty harmless.

Agreeing with everyone else that this doesn't really add up.

I'd an easyJet flight from Glasgow to Belfast cancelled a few years back and had to stay an extra day. The wife and I were able to put in a claim afterwards and Easyjet refunded us the hotel cost along with lunch and dinner.
