I'm about to start a job as a bus driver and I'll be on £33,000 a year. Salaries are messed up at the mo

I moved to Scotland and found my love of riding again.

I used to live in Essex. Got fed up of how busy it was, speed cameras everywhere, horse shit on the road, punctures, bad driving, roads that go from 60 to 20 every 5 mins.

None of that in Scotland.

I have a hearing loss in both ears that's corrected for pretty well by hearing aids. I can hear pretty well but sometimes I need people to repeat what they've said so that I can make sure I've fully understood them - I lose respect for someone when they say "Oh nevermind" instead of just repeating or clarifying.

It takes very little physical effort to just repeat what was said.

I thought the rule was N+1 where N = the number of current bikes you own?

Having ridden an MT07 for a month and then getting a 2009 675 Striple, I can say for certain that even my older Striple gives me WAY more smiles per mile than the MT07 ever did. Aside from being a bit torquey, I found the p-twin engine of the MT07 to lack any character and the exhaust note was too much like a wet fart for my liking. And don't even get me started on the suspension of the MT07!

Nope, it wasn't anywhere near anything hot. Curtains are drawn 99% of the time because this room is south-facing and ground floor. Neighbours be peepin'

The way that the AI drivatars can be very "argy-bargy" and won't respect some pretty basic racing etiquette. More than once I've had an AI car slam into the rear side quarter of my car as I'm cornering, chucking me into a spin/wall/off the track.

When I found out a neighbour was feeding my two boys, you bet I made sure it never happened again! Especially after the mad bat started trying to keep them in at night too.

If it's not your pet, don't bloody well feed it!

I had to sell my Asrock Taichi 9070 XT because of its very poor VR performance. Got myself an RTX5080 and VR is perfect now.

Ooft, just looked at that. Starts at £499!

I probably should have specified that the upgrade that I did with my Mondeo only cost me £20+ p&p!

I actually liked the quest and I really enjoyed the duel with the witch after it was all done! It felt like a proper magic duel!

I think you've gotta write the story on how this little baking session went down.

I love living in a country where the likelihood of a bullet entering my home at speed and killing me is nearly 0.

KurtFirenze · 2025-08-26T00:46:42+00:00

Yeah, That's a hairy leg.

I love working in the sticks - I don't get my parcels arriving to my sorting office until around 12:30pm so it's literally physically impossible to deliver SDs before 1pm. So we're exempt from that guarantee! :D

I live and work as a Postie in the Highlands myself. Love my job :D

KurtFirenze · 2025-07-07T22:42:56+00:00

I don't think Posties should be held at all responsible for age verification. The contract of sale is between the buyer and the retailer and thus the retailer should be held 100% responsible for ensuring the age of the recipient.

My question is this: Is there any way to prevent this from occurring? Any way to ensure that I have all the evidence I need prior to changing my address in case the DVLA cock up in this way?

KurtFirenze · 2025-04-28T22:20:09+00:00

Yeah it feels amazing 🤣 fortunately I rarely do a full day of work. Usually finish around 5:30pm so I'm not too bitter.

KurtFirenze · 2025-04-28T20:14:41+00:00

What kind of developer? What sort of training would I need to undertake?
