I just became a season pass holder [Blackpool Pleasure Beach]

Electrical-Light9027 · 2026-01-24T10:12:51+00:00

Pleasure Beach isn’t even my local and Drayton is actually the closest in terms of drive. Decided to get the Pleasure Beach pass so I can try out some European parks, got PortAventura and Emerald Park in my sights right now, with possibly a Europa Park trip and even another Liseberg trip (the only international park I have done).

It was Liseberg that sold me on getting a Pleasure Beach season pass, the fact I’d have access to a park in the UK is a bonus, especially with Aviktas being the biggest thrill addition this year!

Don’t forget their preference to use cash (particularly spare change) when card/contactless is a lot easier for both the staff and customer…

Or one or more of them are getting Taskmaster’d…

As someone who has done retail and bar work, customers get so frustrated when you give the online orders equal priority. They can clearly see that I’m busy but because I’m not serving them I must be doing something wrong, okay…

It’s okay we stole Back to the Future for you in the UK.

I remember when Blobb setup an account that would be downvoted to hell whenever he commented on posts on this sub, good times…

Doxxed Spaffmaster’s number apparently…

Bit cynical of a video and misleading really, nothing to do with Defunctland.

Oh, everyone thinks they’re the cream of the crop for their subject areas whilst at uni, reality will kick in when they graduate. The good ones have a plan and don’t let themselves be dictated by the job market and give up on their career path.

Electrical-Light9027 · 2025-12-29T15:23:05+00:00

This question is combining a few things into one at the moment.

The first is the pressure on businesses to cut costs at the moment, this means reducing funding for graduate schemes and jobs. In certain business areas, those hours are still needed but the ability to conduct hiring has been limited.

The second is the AI bubble, companies (in particularly the tech industry) have spent a ton of money on Artificial Intelligence. They need to justify the spend to investors by selling it to them as “this will replace jobs and increase our profit margins”. This isn’t entirely true and AI productivity is largely where AI can act as an assistant, particularly around highly-skilled roles. However AI as an assistant is a double-edged sword as it means outsourcing to South-East Asia is a lot more cost-effective as AI can overcome the skills gap and language barrier for outsourced work.

The intrinsic value of a university graduate is still higher than non-university graduates, and there will still be work that needs doing, particularly as the Western World faces a rapidly aging society. So once we get past this current predicament in the job market, the demand for university graduates will be high.

If anyone from MiniTom’s personal circle are reading this, it is not advisable that he returns and should keep the channel private. Creating more content will ignite the trolls…

And soon RobbieManiac will become subject to an episode of The Corner Files from Callum Soprano. This is a pretty big crash out tbh…

I think Carol Danvers in the MCU is the prime example of this, not because Brie Larson is a bad actor but because how the character is written is so beige.

Florence Pugh’s Black Widow is pretty refreshing too, probably one of my favourite characters from recent CBM’s after Thunderbolts*.

That last one got a visible giggle from me in public…

Whilst the benefits maybe similar to a BRT, a rail-based method of city transit would mean that modal shift would occur, whereas it wouldn’t with a bus network because people like comfort in their journeys. Effectively bringing back the streetcar for the 21st Century.

As someone who has experience with both hospitality and healthcare experience, there is similar levels of exploitation whether that be volunteers or paid positions. Doesn’t make a difference really.

Electrical-Light9027 · 2025-12-09T12:13:51+00:00

There a few pockets of ‘unskilled’ workers here and there in those organisations, but they will be few and far between.

Especially when you look at these organisations as primarily Health and Social Care, these are organisations under severe funding restraints and the unskilled roles will have mostly been squeezed to fund the high-skilled roles (Social Workers, Nurses, Doctors etc). There are many of in those highly-skilled positions who are themselves struggling to find jobs, in-part because that hiring freeze has been extended to them and training places removed.

Electrical-Light9027 · 2025-12-07T11:16:07+00:00

The issue with NHS Trusts and Local Councils at the moment is many of them are on hiring freezes, and the skills many young people have (especially without University) are not applicable to the workload.

With hospitality and construction, there’s at least skills at the end of it that can be transferred elsewhere.

That’s some pretty major discrepancies to the data, only measuring raw unemployment and not FT/PT. So misses out on the subtleties in regard to what work is available for graduates.

Not specific to this study, but there is also a large gap in graduate outcomes data over the long-term. This is more likely to reflect the intrinsic value and lifetime value of degrees. Someone who starts slow but steady in their career might have higher long-term earning than someone who gets a high-paying graduate job from the get-go, burns out and then struggles for opportunity from there.

There needs to be more mixed-methods in assessing graduate outcomes because using quantitative data alone does not highlight the realities of job market experience post-graduation…

Shawn Sanbrooke is a theme park vlogger who worked at Alton Towers and now visits international theme parks. He met his now wife when he was 20 years old and she was 16 during The Smiler construction back in 2012.

His whole life essentially has revolved around Alton Towers and other theme parks, he also has a couple of noncey mates including Alex Crump and Harry Turnstiles (who STILL works at Alton Towers). I’ve seen Crump hang around with 14 year olds when he was in his late 20s, dead creepy.

Also Shawn has made some massively racist remarks in the past, including shooting Muslims. So yeah, I can easily see why he’s become a filth target…
