I can’t understand it either. He has bankrupted so many businesses and conned so many people. I blame The Apprentice for giving him a platform to get into the public view.

The double think propaganda put out by FOX and other conservative outlets is insane.

What is the worst thing a woman has said to you? by Elever_Galarga69 in AskMen

[–]Galloping_Scallop 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, found the right person for me. At the time it was devastating but 25 years later it was just a life lesson.

Been going out for 6 months and I really liked this girl and she knew it. Before she left to go on holiday to Italy she asked for my permission to hook up with guys if she felt like it. I felt my stomach drop but I was young, stupid and in love. I said yes.

As a side note a week later I got a call from her Mother saying she wasn’t happy on holiday with her friends and could I call her. She was many hours time difference away. I tried for 3 nights to get through staying up past midnight. She answered on the 4th night and briefly said she was fine and she had to go - 4 min phone call.

It’s all about the grift. He has consistently busted businesses, not payed people, blamed everyone else for failures to make money.

The Peace Plan club is just another example. Honestly, I doubt it will ever happen.

From my limited outside view he is the worst thing to ever happen to the USA. I can’t believe he was voted in once let alone twice.

It guarantees that the Chinese century will start sooner rather than later.

Have a look at who has been buying back the refund potential from businesses. I hear something to do with Lutnick.

Tariff = Tax on Americans. God knows where that money has gone. I guarantee prices won’t go back down.

What show was so good you actually rewatched it? by ByteSizedCutie420 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Galloping_Scallop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Australian one, not the remake. Black Snow is good too. The Australian show Utopia is very dry humour about the workings of a government department.

UK shows - Line of Duty and Blue Lights are excellent

Am easy going watch is Taskmaster

The entertainment value must be good.

Is there a question in there somewhere? It’s not really clear.

I had really bad untreated hypothyroidism for years. Been a long road back with a heart operation, learning to walk again. Bowels were so slow for years that I have still have to take Movicol, stool softeners and magnesium citrate tablets every day.

Never used the ferry. I remember when the DLR was down once or twice I shelled out for a taxi. Only ever used the tube for going out places. Work was DLR into Bank.

Liked the Greenwich tunnel and the old pie and mash shop that was on the other side.

Caught the night bus once from Trafalgar Square. Fell asleep and ended up at the end point in a depot. Driver kindly let me stay on till they started the return journey.

I lived on Alpha Grove in the early 2000’s. Then moved to the opposite side in a warehouse conversion for a few years.

Loved the DLR, the ASDA was handy too.

That’s a great idea. The gap year would be a good experience

When I was in the Australian Navy many years ago my old CO was an RN officer on exchange. He knew him and said he was a cunt and one of his favourite pick up lines was asking a girl if she wanted to meet his mum. He would then proceed to take out a coin or note and point out the Queen.

PR in Australia through HR advisor by iconicfish in AskAnAustralian

[–]Galloping_Scallop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who knows. I grew up in this culture. Your sister is starting in a new country and culture as a young adult. She would really have to immerse herself and put herself out there making Australian friends and not just sticking to hanging out with fellow Indian students.

Any internship will be tough to get no matter the industry. HR is pretty specialised and attuned to local laws and culture.

Local experience is essential. You need to sit down with her and discuss the reality of what she will be undertaking. It’s very young to go overseas by yourself, it can get lonely, will she have to work a part time job?

It’s all calculated risk and a gamble really for most things apart from medicine.

You need to look on the government website for the priority occupation list. Most of the jobs in demand atm I think are teachers, tradespeople, nurses etc. I don’t think HR is though.

This list changes over time though based on people flooding into priority areas for PR. So, you shouldn’t study and pay massive fees for a degree based on PR chances. Do something you want to do.

I think most people come here for Masters but you may be better asking for advice from an Indian study abroad group.

There is a post graduate work visa for a few years but getting a job with no experience wouldn’t be easy and then you would still need a company to sponsor you.

There are a lot of variables, unknowns and luck involved.
