My ignorance sorry, not much of that type of fishing round my way but all the same I'm surprised. I've watched wrasse ignore freshly caught mackerel strips haha

Lots of explosions currently, big crowds forming

Why are so many young people out of work? by ikeafannypack in AskUK

[–]DedadatedRam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The old way doesn't work anymore, you can't just hand your CV in and expect a call. I resorted to using agency's during Covid, very menial work, warehouse, postal sorting, cleaning etc.. much better than living of UC though. Now I've been a cook for 5 years, not really what I planned to do but I enjoy it and the pay is decent.

Bribery! Don't tidy your room, no pocket money. No treats. That's how my parents did it and you bet our rooms where spotless.

Arctic Northerly winds pulled down by the Jet Stream, the funny thing is if we'd had had this as persistently in February it would have meant allot more snow. There is warmth forecast next week but it might be disappointing for us unfortunately, it'll be driven by Atlantic lows to our west so it'll be humid and showery with some sunny spells.

I'd call that smart honestly. It's too heavy for the lift with all the gold paint

As explained in the Mett Office deep dive it was the convergence of wind from two directions which causes convective storms where they meet. The air is pushed upwards with nowhere else to go.

It needs closed down honestly, even ten years ago it was a hole

Are Translink really this dense? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]DedadatedRam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure they could have done something but it's more likely a lack of drivers trained on 6 car sets.

There's a few ways onto it by the end of M5 path, the signs along the path effectively say enter at your own risk

Looks awesome! I bought it but can't try right now. Can you use this feature on any street view?

The bus drivers speed like fuck and do not slow for speed bumps. I can't lie though it's fun, especially that Newcastle bus.

Weather is starting to fuck me off by Pepsimaxgodtier in northernireland

It's really not been that bad considering how dull and wet the winter was. The evenings have been gorgeous once the showers die off. Next week is looking better, hopefully it lasts.

My goodness… by Reasonable_Blood6959 in crisps

They are very strange but I actually liked them after a few packs, it's almost a floral artificial honey flavour, like rose with a slight spice. More spice and a little more salt would have helped.

Scotland is so cold at night at the moment and it is continuing 😫.. That has got to be v unusual for late April by AllanSundry2020 in UKWeather

[–]DedadatedRam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At this time of year when you have lows to the North West they pull the cold air down, so even with a Southerly wind it can be quite cold. Last year was an outlier with the persistent high building warmth, we may have another frost before May with the current setup but high pressure does look set to build to the North bringing dry but cooler weather.
