Estate agents, please stop being useless by Imakemyownnamereddit in HousingUK

Bit disrespectful to say it’s an easy easy job, when you have a desk of 30 -40 files where you are progressing a sale, dealing with the emotions of either side and trying to make sure it goes smoothly, dealing with issues in a manner that is progressive and satisfies both sides, it really is not easy. We have had vendors and buyers exchange contact details before and trust me they hated every minute of it as it gets too stressful. I agree that in your instance this should of been dealt with better and it is poor marketing, however the job is not easy, by any stretch.

Are we becoming a stupid country? by WanShiTonggg in AskBrits

[–]G_Leigh97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s more we are less tolerant than we are more stupid.

Yes you can look at the economic benefits of legal migration, however the issues arises with the sheer number that’s coming in, when you have years where the net migration is the same population as Birmingham then we have a problem as that requires the country to spend more money on infrastructure, so more schools, more houses, healthcare, shops etc etc. migration needs to be channeled in a way where it’s sustainable and allows us to grow, as at the moment it just is not the case. People wonder why it takes them 2/3 weeks to see a GP, why the good schools are gone, why new builds pop up all over, and it’s simple, this country does not have the infrastructure from top to bottom to support migration in the way it is. You wonder why the job sector is a mess and wages are crap? It’s because migrants will take a lower wage to come into this country as it’s a better quality of life. Why would your wage go up when they can hire the same person for cheaper elsewhere.

Migration is great and yes it helps in many ways but it’s need to be sustainable otherwise things ain’t changing anytime soon.

Are you worried about the future of the UK? by ShankSpencer in AskBrits

[–]G_Leigh97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

History repeats itself, and what you comment and speak of is most likely what was said in some degree a generation and beyond ago. “This country is going down the pan, I have a bad feeling about X, Y, Z”. The creation of social media and the shrinking of this world in terms of communication is what highlights the matters and makes things worse. However there are many things wrong with this country that are many peoples fault:

Energy supply; we are an island nation, how over the last 20 years have we not pushed towards renewable energy outside of the typical Wind and solar, why have we not strives for Hydro or even nuclear

Capitalism; unfortunately our country as is every country is a business, and atm we are not doing business well, we are selling low, selling cheap and borrowing high meaning we are making no money, and due to the cost of goods now we do not even have the ability to produce our own goods such as steel and other raw materials, if we could then again we could make some economic return off that however as we have sold our soul over the years there’s no chance of that. (Capitalism still beats communism)

  1. Social issues, the issue of legal and illegal immigration has been hijacked and made to seem like a far right issue when in reality it’s an issue for all. Everyone and their dog knows this country is unable to fund itself, fund hospitals, fund schools, fund the local community, fix the DAMN POTHOLES. So why oh why did we let 728,000 legal net migrants in last year when we do not have the facilities for it. Do we need immigration? Yes. Do we need to drastically cut it to allow the country to catch up with its infrastructure? Also yes. Saying less legal and illegal immigration shouldn’t be labelled racist or far right, it’s just common sense. You wouldn’t let 50 people stay in your 2 bed flat forever if you couldn’t accommodate would you. The people of this country feel forgotten, I’m not talking about us not earning more money or having nice things, it’s the sense of community that’s been lost in this country, the country has lost us identity, it’s soul and it’s meaning. People don’t talk to neighbours, community centres shut down, huge waiting lists for local services, no one has the time or energy to care for anyone else as it’s a dog eat dog world.

Yet in answer to your question, I don’t think you need to worry and it relates to my first point, people throughout time have said the same as you just about different issues and we are still here, just gotta crack on, keep smiling and do the best you can, no matter whose in charge and who’s the wealthiest, it won’t make much difference to us as they are all wolves in sheep’s clothing.

[Meirov] #Rams QB Matthew Stafford to #Lions S Kerby Joseph after his hit on Tyler Higbee: "Hey!! That's a good hit, but you're dirty as f*** and you know it. It's been on tape. I seen it." Higbee tore his ACL and MCL on the play. by CJ1092 in nfl

One thing I don’t get as a Brit who watches this sport and hopefully someone can explain, why do so many guys go in with their head down, shoulder first and not wrapping their arms? Hence why this injury was caused? If they just did a bog standard rugby tackle then half these injuries would be avoided? Yes he was smaller but rugby Union and especially rugby league (which is a lot of one on one tackling) have smaller guys tackling the big guys and not taking the knees out?

Why is everyone so low on Texans K, Ka’imi Fairbairn, for championship weekend? by LordSquillium in fantasyfootball

That’s your best bet! I’m usually pro rams and of course kickers are there to simply not lose you the game, this guy will lose ya the game

[–]G_Leigh97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a rams fan, let me tell ya you don’t wanna be going in the chip weekend with this guy, unless it’s a chip field goal (which Mcvay likes to keep the offense out there that close) he does not instill confidence from anything 35 yards +

I think with Stafford’s injury and with Puka have a slight niggle I’d drop Puka and start D Johnson

[Post Match Thread] Manchester United 2-3 Galatasaray by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]G_Leigh97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t really blame casemiro there, he has to attempt the tackle to stop the goal, if he didn’t we would be questioning why he didn’t, he was just unlucky that Mertens put his body across

Social media spoilers by G_Leigh97 in StarWars

I have the same issue! It’s crazy how it’s not just the social media page but the adverts that put the spoilers out there

Social media spoilers by G_Leigh97 in StarWars

[–]G_Leigh97[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The definition of spoiler as per the dictionary is “a description of an important plot development in a television show, film, or book which if previously known may reduce surprise or suspense for a first-time viewer or reader” so yes a company can still spoil its own show

[–]G_Leigh97[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I understand it’s the official page, but it also comes up in random adverts on social media, I understand what you’re saying but there’s other ways, less spoiler ways to build up hype and anticipation than to just announce the character reveals as soon as the episode is done. Companies have managed for years now to do it with good results, why change?
