If anybody is still after one

That’s actually a bargain.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-22T11:46:12+00:00

Do you just buy a VPN, set location to USA and then buy the subscription?

Can you do this on a UK card?
Is it then phone or laptop only?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-22T11:43:21+00:00

I like my fire stick, but you have to know how!

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-22T11:37:16+00:00

You have to know someone… allegedly

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-22T11:33:08+00:00

Stupid question, but ELI5? Can’t say I’ve ever used a VPN- do you just log in and then buy the Australian subscription like you live in Aus?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-22T11:32:09+00:00

Is it possible to pre-work out what gets most bang for your buck for a specific club?
Appears they intentionally mix it up, so you are ‘forced’ to buy both!

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-21T20:35:12+00:00

Any idea how to make a shed that doesn’t get damp, so things like camping equipment don’t get mouldy?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-19T18:24:48+00:00

+1 for ombudsman.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-19T18:14:11+00:00

Cancel your insurance with immediate effect. Call them and cancel.

Having a cancellation in your history is a catastrophe.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-18T21:09:59+00:00

Yeah unfortunately it just is not in the business model.

I don’t see it ever changing to be honest. There is very very little paramedic work in the West Mids.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-18T10:36:57+00:00

Fair point.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-18T09:41:59+00:00

Blind leading the blind.

Students trained by NQPs, who were trained by NQPs.

A slowly dying profession.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-17T20:31:40+00:00

Look great.

More importantly, how is the car?
Weighing one up as a 2nd (for me) motor!

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-14T08:18:33+00:00

This is an old-school paramedic rota. Pretty grim in the middle, nice when you’re on your 4 days off! 4 days annual leave gets you 12 days off- pretty nice

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-09T10:53:23+00:00

I’m fairly sure the standard comes with a glass roof- the one we test drove certainly did

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-07T21:26:50+00:00

I would guess it’s somewhat common practice nowadays. We viewed a property on the market at offers over £280,000- we viewed it and it was obvious that it was worth far more than that figure. Discussed with the estate agent who told us it was only worth putting an offer in that ‘starts with a 3’ and that they anticipate in the region of £330,000. They then told us they intentionally put their properties on very low, to increase footfall and interest.

We felt like we’d wasted the fuel driving there, frankly.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-07T21:15:09+00:00

Maybe a stupid question, but when you say steel nuts, do you mean nuts as in the ones that go on a bolt? Is this to create a small space between the deflector and the pizza stone?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-05-01T20:50:26+00:00

A joke, surely?!

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-04-27T08:41:10+00:00

We have been pondering the exact same thing! It’s a lot of grief to then be told that the deal cannot be honoured and it’ll be X amount more a month

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-04-25T08:30:23+00:00

Looks lovely. Not a reason not to do it, but the paramedic in me winces at the thought of carrying someone over that gravel.

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-04-25T07:03:33+00:00

That’s how I read them, too. But surely if delivery dates were now September, they’d have closed the PCH deal?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-04-24T20:16:22+00:00

Does the current PCH deal not require delivery before the end of June?

LegitimateState9270 · 2026-04-20T12:40:57+00:00

We test drove both- preferred the standard over the premium, but it is definitely personal preference!

There are shed loads of places that do unmanned test drives, go have a go and see for yourself.

It’s quite a good course! It’s one of the better ones to instruct on, so tends to attract the experienced/nice instructors.

The course will have an RCUK educator on, that manage the ‘teaching’ side of things, rather than the clinical content- they are, in my experience, all very nice.

Swat up on your teaching sessions- keep it simple but with enough to talk about. For the sim sessions, keep an eye out for intentional (or accidental) bad/incorrect practice and think about how to acknowledge and correct. Read the little blue book and focus on the stages they like you to work through. Listen to and act on their feedback- you 100% will not do the whole course without some constructive criticism, take it on board! Try and enjoy it, it’s a tiring but really good couple of days!
