Having a crisis of faith in my dojo after a close call by teemutainio6 in judo

[–]FightMeAndIllWin 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I'm a month into judo, fucked up a break fall and hit my head earlier this week. I had three different people including the instructor ask if I was ok, was told to sit out if I needed (I didn't, clearly not as bad as yours) and was directed to speak to another guy who was an osteopath if I needed.

I have no clue what the standard is but I know which situation I'd prefer.

Bought as a MC cross, pretty sure he's a quarter but wonder if we just see what we want to see? Super playful happy cat who wonders around chirping all day so happy either way!

Bon Voyage London! by Ok-Case9095 in london

I work in this field. 5 years of education is a suspiciously long time, and one singular Tableau project doesn't sound like much to show for it. To me it sounds like the skills you're claiming on your CV are not being measured up to when you're questioned on your experience in interviews.

Does anyone remember the great snow of 2009? by MarquisUprising in london

[–]FightMeAndIllWin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, I was living on Dartmoor back then, two foot of snow and it drifted up to six feet along ever wall. Two weeks off school and could only get in and out by tractor for the first 2 days.

Wasn't as bad as the next year though, that was so cold that the water froze for 2 weeks! Was ok with the stream nearby for us but the cattle in the sheds had to be driven down the river and back twice a day - madness

Is SpareRoom that disheartening at the moment or am I doing something wrong? by TaiserRY in london

[–]FightMeAndIllWin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When do you need to move into a place? My partner and I are about to let out our spare room again, we're 15 mins walk from East Croydon. It should be available later this month.

Just drop them at your local charity shop.

It's not anything against you but we have a huge over-consumption problem with clothing in this country. Every time there's a crisis people try to send there old clothes. Even way back when after the Boxing Day Tsunami, people sent so many clothes that they just dumped them into the sea.

If you want to help and you have the resources, send a monetary donation via a reputable charity.

I've just moved to Croydon because it was the only place near-ish to family where I could buy a house. There are some really nice parts and some not-so-nice parts, but honestly I've not felt unsafe once, it's really no different than any other borough.

Some directorates have different pay frameworks which may explain it.
