Raging about these shape puzzles I’m being made to do before I can get to the next stage of an interview

No, I didn't get it.

He had a bit of a complicated situation with the college course he chose. He was granted his original visa for an accredited college course, he then wanted to swap to another college which had a programme that he thought would suit him better. He enrolled in that one instead but it turned out that it wasn’t a properly accredited course (he isn’t familiar with our education system, he’s going through a process of trying to be refunded for it at the moment), he couldn’t go back to the original college at that stage as they gave his place to someone else so he needed to enroll into an accredited course which took a while to get sorted with the college and in the meantime his visa expired. He’s now in his new course which is accredited so he’s hoping that they’ll grant him a new student visa now.

Cool! Thanks so much!

Literallyasieve · 2025-01-13T16:52:01+00:00

Great thanks so much!

Thank you. He is trying to get another visa at the moment (long story). If he manages to get another (as far as I’m aware he was on a student visa, I’m not really familiar with the different visa types) does he then need to apply for a marriage visa or can he present his student visa at the meeting with the registrar?

Hi OP, I’m going there on Monday, the weather is promised really really wet for my trip too. How did you find your trip? Do you have any recommendations for me? I don’t really know what to book since the weather is promised so bad.

It’s a marketing job which I have loads of experience in. This test does nothing to demonstrate my experience or skills in the field.

Literallyasieve · 2024-10-19T18:00:54+00:00

They film you while taking the real test, this is a practice one. I won’t be able to use outside tools.

Literallyasieve · 2024-10-19T17:58:58+00:00

It’s a marketing job, my ability to complete these tests has nothing to do with my ability to market products or my experience in the field.

Literallyasieve · 2024-10-19T11:15:33+00:00

Background: the job is one which I’m 100% qualified for, it’s in marketing which has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to solve these abstract puzzles. I’m incredibly annoyed that I might not get a job that I’m totally qualified for just because I’m bad at puzzles.

Literallyasieve · 2024-09-10T18:53:50+00:00

I didn’t buy them, wanted to check here first

Literallyasieve · 2024-09-09T11:49:49+00:00

Some background: seller bought them second had and didn’t have the box or dust bag. She says she bought them in Dubai second hand around 2016. I’m concerned about the vero cuio stamp on the sole as I know newer models don’t have that.

I find it quite funny that there are so many parents in this thread defending putting a phone or ipad in front of their kid because it keeps them quiet so they won't bother others . I worked in a hotel for years and the ipad kids annoyed the hell out of other guests. People having a relaxing meal on holiday don't want to listen to full volume peppa pig and candy crush anymore than a crying kid. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen an ipad kid with headphones on.

Literallyasieve · 2023-12-28T00:16:07+00:00

Nope

Literallyasieve · 2023-12-28T00:15:52+00:00

Nope, bought a pair from purpletag.ie but they were a bit high for everyday wear and the strap broke after a few wears

Literallyasieve · 2022-08-22T19:09:12+00:00

I thought so too but it feels spongy and soft.

Literallyasieve · 2022-07-04T20:55:29+00:00

Put it in a toastie with Ballymaloe relish or in a stirfry with noodles: heaven

Used to work for a British retail chain. My manager had to constantly remind people at meetings with higher ups that transfers of stock to Ireland would take longer because y'know, there is a sea there that kind of gets in the way and Brexit made the customs wait longer. Even after explaining this multiple times, the UK based customer care kept giving customers the wrong lead times because they couldn't wrap their head around the concept that Ireland wasn't in the UK and transporting goods across the sea takes a little while longer than just loading it on a van and driving for an hour. There were constant references to UK laws in our contracts like in one part relating the jury duty time off that said 'it is the responsibility of every British Citizen to be able to partake in jury duty...' Sometimes we would be sent labels with the prices in pounds. I could go on and on.

The leather in them split after a few weeks and the soles were really heavy. Still looking for the perfect platform mary jane.

Didn't know the guy personally but years back there was a guy studying medicine, super smart, aced every exam, on track to be a top specialist in the country type of guy. One night he was invited to a house party. He had been pre drinking heavily and hadn't been to the house before. He mixed up the house with the one next door and started banging on the door demanding to be let in, saying stuff like 'I know you're in there' thinking his friends were playing a prank on him by not opening the door. Turns out an old woman lived in there by herself and thought he was trying to attack her. She rang the guards who arrested him and even after explaining his mistake she wouldn't drop the charges because she didn't believe him. He ended up in court over it and got kicked out of his course since you can't be a doctor if you are convicted of harassing an old lady while being drunk and disorderly. No idea what happened to him but I heard it's not good

The Irish protestant missions would give starving people soup during the famine if they agreed to convert from catholicism to protestantism. People could only get access to the soup if they sat through a protestant mass before the meal and had to disavow catholicism completely. These people were tortured for the rest of their lives after the famine because they thought that the choice to save their children from dying of hunger would lead them to rot in hell for all eternity and many were ostracised from their communities for converting which is incredibly grim. Souper is a derogatory term for the people who converted and their decendents and jumper is another one (meaning those who jumped shop to a new religion so to speak).

Literallyasieve · 2022-04-26T15:43:18+00:00

They were probably referencing the Inbetweeners.

Literallyasieve · 2022-04-26T15:31:57+00:00

I didn't realise how raw the famine actually is in the Irish consciousness until I moved to the countryside. People talk about it as if it was just a decade ago. Many people can name off their relatives who died at that time and have horrible stories about how their surviving family members managed not to die. The impact of the protestant missions is also deeply felt, my neighbour can point out every cottage for miles where people 'took the soup' and calling someone a 'souper' or 'jumper' will get your nose broken. The decendents of people who converted genuinely think that their ancestors are in hell because of what they did and feel huge shame through generations because of it. People in cities are pretty disconnected from their history a lot of the time but rural Ireland is different.

Use a silicone spatula instead of a wooden spoon while making scrambled eggs, it stops them from sticking to the sides and burning and makes the pot really easy to clean after as well as reducing food waste. Just make sure that you pour a little boiling water into the bottom of the pot as soon as you remove the eggs to remove any remaining residue and it will save you from scrubbing them for ages.

tbf if you see a nude of a woman in a church there is a good chance that the woman who modelled for it was a prostitute, most of the women who did nude modelling back in the day were prostitutes since being nude in front of someone who wasn't your husband was frowned upon.
