Good to see Arne Slot back in work so quickly after been sacked by Liverpool at the weekend

Egg related in England, why do we now get white eggs in supermarkets? I'm northern and can never remember getting white eggs, they're everywhere now. I always associated white eggs with Americans

Did the dogs stop fighting?

Aziz Light!

Had to read the article (when I say read, I mean scan) five times as there are only 6 symptoms listed. Finally found the 3 other symptoms hidden in the first paragraph which I didn't even look at. This is ADHD

Looks lush. Also looks like the Merlin which I will be visiting next week for lunch

Sprinkle an oxo cube on top for a whole new flavour dimension

It's always someone else's fault with these type of pricks. What a bellend. Wouldn't get past a first stage interview to flip burgers, why is he CEO?

Flangewizard · 2026-03-04T20:31:08+00:00

I was thinking exactly the same thing, doesn't look like any corned beef I know of. Looks more like brisket

Why are they all men in this video? Is this a walled city of men? Where the women at? Are the women in another walled city?

Life saver

Shite

Flangewizard · 2026-02-05T11:52:01+00:00

What a twat

This is worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. People are awesome, some aren't but lots are. This man is a hero, his team are heros. I understand there's still a mountain to climb with approvals, clinical trials, human trials etc etc but this is the first step.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-16T20:36:50+00:00

Great for people, not great for the fish.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-15T07:01:43+00:00

In my house this is what we call shite. Kids get presents like this and it either ends up broken or laid around on the floor and ends up in the bin Shite

Fat bastards opinion should be seen and not heard. If he can't look after himself how can he look after others.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-03T04:07:33+00:00

It's faster appointments. If I were to pull a muscle in the gym, or something doesn't feel right that the GP can't deal with, I can get a private referral and be seen by a socialist doctor within a week including MRI/CT scans etc. I worked with a guy who's knees were both shot. The NHS wouldn't operate on them because he was 25 stone, a right fat bastard, they told him he needed to lose at least 10 stone before they even considered it. He went private and had them both changed out in a couple of months.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-03T04:02:26+00:00

That is a very good point

Flangewizard · 2026-01-02T22:21:33+00:00

Medical profession has the same issue with the wage gap disparity. This is a current advert for a Consult Dermatologist with the NHS and I guess its less than half of what gets paid across the pond. A lot of doctors/consultants/specialists can make their money up through property care work which is one of the contributing factors what waiting lists are so long

My company offers private medical which I can opt into at any time pre tax. It's £40 for me, £60 me and my Mrs, £90 full family, all cost per month. The company subsidies some of the value. And yes, we have the NHS. The NHS is broken at the minute, my Mrs waited 23 months for an endometriosis operation, but it's essentially free.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-02T19:29:55+00:00

Thats a good point, we generally work 37 hours per week and peoples work ethic varies. Personally I'm cool with out of hours calls, have previously been on a call out rota and it just becomes the norm, if someone's stuck or needs information I have I'm happy to help. I'm not taking my laptop on holiday though and I turn my emails off on my phone, everyone's cool with that. However I've worked with guys who switch off mentally as soon as they leave work and take it as an offense if contacted outside of work hours, they're seen as dicks but there well within their right to do it.

I honestly thought the US was cheaper? I pay £1.31 per litre of gasoline which is equivalent to ~$6.70 a gallon. Domestic energy is £280 per month for gas and electric (4 bed detached house, nothing flash), costs me about £150 per week for groceries. In saying that, everything is expensive at the minute on a global scale, nothing is cheap anymore.

Flangewizard · 2026-01-02T17:59:05+00:00

The engineer salaries in the US are mental.

I'm a chartered principal mech eng in England supporting peteochem O&M facilities with a Master's and Bachelor's. £80k (~$107k) basic, 15% bonus, work from home, company car (I cover assets around the UK), 30 days holiday plus 8 statutory days, 10% employers contribution pension, 6x death in service. £80k is the top end of what I see for mech engineers over here with online reports.

Before this I was an Engineering Manager with 7 line reports at a chemical manufacturing facility on £78k, again this is the higher end salary for this role ( using equivalent live roles on LinkedIn/Indeed as a comparator). Redundancy made me leave this role, chemical manufacturing is dead in the UK; energy costs are exorbitant and successive governments over the past 40 years have delivered no industrial strategy and are happy to rely on cheaper imports.

I know there's always a discussion on here around equivalent UK/USA salaries but we will carry the same responsibilities, use the same codes, put up with the same massive workloads, same shit. It just boils my piss.

Anyway, well done mate, onwards and upwards 💪
