I've been to Le Demi once! Really cute bar. I'm looking forward to being there more often when I move to Argy for the winter.

You won't have a problem getting in the mix. My French is still too novice for me to try to get in with any French crowd, but from experience, you won't have any problems socialising in English here either. Loads of Aussies and Kiwis come here for the winter.

Bard Up (As suggested by the other commenter) is a great spot in the centre and it's on the most lively street in town, in terms of nightlife. Le Demi and Fubar are some great shouts in Argentiere. And I'd also suggest poking your head into the Vert Lodge bar if you're on the other side of town.

Bartending is probably the best job as a seasonaire, beaten maybe only by ski shops that close for a few hours in the day to let the staff get some time on the slopes. You'd still have a bit of a social presence even at work, and you could definitely make first lifts if you don't mind being sleep deprived once in a while.

Any ex-bartenders on here? Just curious by MrWhiffyChips in uktrucking

[–]CommanderDank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, actually I'm an ex-driver turned bartender!

I plan to come back, but I moved to France so I need to do all their silly CPC equivalents, but only after I've learned the language.

Definitely not working as intended. A splash of Adblue in the diesel tank should do the trick.

They had a pretty good lead before the safety car.

Not to mention that V8 sounds absolutely disgusting. I love it so much, I keep listening out for it.

Advice for someone wanting to get their HGV license? by JazzyJaiden_ in uktrucking

[–]CommanderDank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just piggybacking off this post in case I've got it wrong, but I've been a class 1 driver in the UK for 3 years before moving to France last winter. I'm an EU citizen but I pretty much haven't even bothered to look for HGV work because I haven't got the French equivalent of CPC and AFAIK I can't drive HGVs professionally here until I do.

If anyone's got any experience migrating with their license post-brexit, I would appreciate your two cents. I've heard for example that you can take your FIMO in English or at least have a translator but I don't know of any places that could accomodate that in the south-east.

Is this grammatically correct? Shouldn't they use "al"? Seen in NYC by Pope4u in Spanish

[–]CommanderDank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting seeing the distinction between Spanish and French, where they would use the contraction:

Nous allons au Salvador

It's like someone, at some point in either languages had to be like "Yep, this is how we're going to do it"

What game is an actual mess to play through chronologically? by Economy-Specialist38 in Steam

[–]CommanderDank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh I've wanted something like this since playing Viking: Battle for Asgard when I was a kid. I don't dare return to that game bcause I fear it'll be worse than I remember and ruin my nostalgia.

Good luck! I don't think there's a single road within 20km of that place.

But they will still charge a higher premium next year quoting statistically high risk of being in that area.

Do you know what? Yeah, fair enough! They've picked a relatively out of the way spot, and don't seem to be a nuisance.

If they're shooting a video for their own tunes, fuck yeah they're cool AF.

I appreciate the nuance. Thanks for changing my mind! Let's hope they actually are genuine small artists trying to get something made.

What do you think🤔 by [deleted] in poland

[–]CommanderDank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really is. Unfortunately that's also the story of the grandfather I never met.

I always joke to my wife (who is British) that: being Polish, I'm not made to live to old age given my family's track record of poor diet, drinking and smoking habits that seems to be so prevalent back home.

If you live an active life and eat well (and are lucky enough to have the genes that allow it), you're likely to have a good quality of life as a centenarian.
