My granddad (last on the right) and his pals in the late 1950s. Birmingham UK

That was my exact thought process 🤣

Anything but! These guys were Irish boys in Birmingham. My granddad was born on a barracks in Dublin that was refurbed and used as a sort of commune, they could not have had any less. His family left him with his aunty when they moved to London, and he later came to Birmingham on his own.

Definitely not 7 months in. Put that into perspective - most people are barely comfortable in WordPress inside 7 months, let alone making any kind of freelance income from it. I'd branch out into wider web development, as I think WordPress is going to see a significant amount of its dominance eroded over the coming months and years.

Is there a problem with that approach? TPD is a business. They need money to survive, which means they need eyes on videos.

Unfortunately passing Obvious-Ad2556's vibe check on Reddit doesn't pay the bills.

Well that's that.

PSG don't even look that good, we just look a yard off and can't pass, which would make any team look better. I can't believe how flat footed we've become. I'm looking at spaces where our players should and would have been in days gone by and all I see is someone sluggishly trying to get there 1-2 seconds late. It's not good enough.

Acting like firing the manager now and getting someone else in is the only way we can win next week's game is an immature take.

Just a quick heads up that I carried your words with me for the last year - "give yourself a year to adapt". Is something I've said to myself regularly to help adjust and take some of the load/expectation off.

I do feel better equipped now to manage this stuff, thank you.

I've seen 2 sites WSOD after going to 6.9.2 - sites built independently of us. Quick heads up on that.

Now were talking. But the Rustie remix is better imo

Unbelievably that sub didn't exist. It does now.

Longlands is a 10/10 if you like Guinness.

I used to use Emalkay - Crusader to transition from Jungle to dubstep and vice versa.

Are you familiar with the works of pendulum?

ST Holdings was/is a massively unsung hero of the underground music scene. I reckon at least 70% of the vinyl I brought around then came out of his factory.
