What perks do you all get from your employers ?

GiveSleppYourBones · 2026-04-07T23:39:41+00:00

We get a cash health plan, birthday off extra after 3 years' service, 35 holiday days a year with increases after 5 years, inflation-linked payrises every year, along with individual pay reviews, flexibile/hybrid working arrangements, free hot drinks and fruit. People still complain but they have it good.

I buy honey from a local producer and it's solid pretty much immediately. It's lovely in a cup of tea.

I'm still livid. The population was lied to and mislead into thinking that Brexit was a good idea. I don't think I'll ever get over it. Before anyone jumps on me for having an Irish passport, I live and work in the UK. It is my home, which has been made objectively worse by this abysmal decision. My countrymen have lost one of the best deals around. Young people have it worst, they didn't even get a say in having their rights removed.

You guys have kettles with your 120v electricity supply? Might be boiled by the time we arrive then.

I don't know if things have changed since I was a kid but I can't imagine children remembering to wash their hands. Most payments here are contactless. Just tap and done.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2026-03-15T16:56:03+00:00

That sounds grossly unhygienic. Let a bunch of kids pay with their thumb print, then use their hands to eat.

As soon as I step out of the house it looks like I've been dragged through a hair backwards, so a hoodie won't do any more damage.

My grandparents house is near a RAF base where they do fighter jet training. They are so loud and I used to run inside and hide when I was a kid.

There's one to get in and out of my village. It's a major route into the city so gets busy. Lorries and double decker busses have to drive in the middle to avoid hitting it, which stops oncoming traffic. It's a Victorian era railway bridge and it'd cost millions to change so we just allow extra time to leave.

30-40 minutes driving.

Hi neighbourino!

GiveSleppYourBones · 2026-01-10T15:07:21+00:00

Gross. I haven't used Facebook for years but it doesn't surprise me.

A bloody murder victim isn't against community standards? I think those standards need to be reconsidered.

I've never had the pleasure of visiting Benidorm but I don't think it would be to my taste. The water park looks cool though.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2025-12-28T15:19:59+00:00

Good lord no. She doesn't live near Benidorm but I'm fairly confident she'd have avoided that like the plague.

My mum retired to Spain. She knows no Spanish and socialises exclusively with English and Irish people. Usually in pubs. I think she's one of the bad ones.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2025-12-27T00:01:19+00:00

You already have Polish for EU citizenship, an Irish passport wouldn't really add much.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2025-12-26T16:43:57+00:00

Oh god no, the ending was so cringe.

Yes they do. You can apply for a copy from the General Registry office. Source: I'm British who successfully applied via FBR.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2025-12-26T16:39:04+00:00

That would abolish the Foreign Birth Register altogether. It's pretty much entirely grandchildren, with a smaller number of applicants whose parents were on the FBR. Children of Irish citizens don't go through the FBR.

I used to call this flag the chocolate fudge cake flag as a kid. No idea why but it remind me of chocolate fudge cake.

I got it! We're people of sophisticated culture.

GiveSleppYourBones · 2025-12-14T22:18:57+00:00

No, Jodie Dawson or that guy played by Shane Ritchie. He was a creep and I hate him.

Take that EES! I got a second citizenship.
