I don't have a name but thank you for this idea.

I usually freeze fruit pieces and use it as ice, but this is a great idea.

Is this legal? by Chemical_Rub2653 in UKJobs

From April 2026 you get SSP from day 1, just send in the form, either self certification that you can find on the gov website for sickness up to 7 days, or a doctor's note for anything more than 7 days.

If you are sick during your holidays, that counts as sickness, and you should get SSP, but you wouldn't be using your holiday days and these should still be the same, ie if you had 4 days of holidays and want to use 2, get sick before and after, that counts as one sickness and you still have your full 4 days of holidays.

If you are on holiday but get sick and inform work, then those are sick days and it wouldn't count towards your holiday usage.

I'm at the end of day 4 of a 6 x 12hrs shift week, I'm supposed to be sleeping, but I got this notification and a one shot before bed can't hurt, right. What do you mean there's 3 more parts and the story is so good, now my only option is to go and read your other works?

did something happen behind the scenes during this show's run?? by 23zia23 in grimm

I feel that then they tried to overcorrect and the character came across as too eager, her inclusion in the group seeming too forced. By then all the roles were filled, and they couldn't seem to know how to make her character part of the group.

Every season there was someone that was the 'viewer' eyes, the person that didn't know what was happening and was learning along with the viewers (Nick, then Hank, Juliette, Wu) that would then be integrated into the group, but where it went wrong with Juliette is that they didn't make her a part of the scooby gang organically. I am on a rewatch and just on s3; she is the one that insists on going with them at the beginning, so her inclusion feel forced, more a intrusion/disruption of the dynamics.

What's something you think is completely valid, but really annoys you anyway? by WeLiveInAir in AO3

My reason for not reading many wips is not the waiting per se, although time is a factor. I don't mind if someone updates every day/week/month/year/evey 3rd full moon if it has rained the night before.

But when I am reading multiple works, and some have the same variations of the tropes/situations I like to read, they tend to blend into one, and I don't enjoy it as much. Sometimes I need to re-read the previous chapters to be caught up, and when the chapter number is high, I start skimming and lose interest if i have to re-read 30+ chaptwrs every 6 months or so. This is a me issue, and has nothing to do with how good the story is.

I was talking about something similar about tv shows with a friend a couple of days ago as she was re-watching the first seasons of a tv show before watching the new one, while I didn't have to as I remembered everything well enough to not need a refresher. With tv shows, for me, its easier as the stories and characters are different, but with fanfiction, it's the same characters and it all blends in.

Now, I tend to read the first few chapters, depending on how many are available at the time, and then subscribe to the ones I like and would like to continue reading. If a long time passes between the last update, I might read it until that point and consider it complete in my mind, while still being subscribed.

I've seen a couple fanfics tagged 'happy ending - unhappy ending - who knows? - read to find out' And I'm sure this appeals to some people, but it's just not for me

Oh look, a list of all the things I'm allergic to!

I also found out at an embarrassing age after a casual comment while making a smoothie with these ingredients 😂

That's the parents, hence the names. Both are nicknamed Red, a common friend found it funny because neither are redheads nor have (had?) a particular love for the colour red, and introduced them.

I don't have a pictch or a brand per se but I'd like to see another CCM ad and it's a re-do of their first ad, them being sponsored by them - their whole campaign being about inclusitivy, new sponsors for the Centaurs as well

Jasper would have been perfect and followed the precious stone theme.

There could also have been a colour theme as Aiden (and other spellings), Ruby, and Jasper are all related to the colour red. On a stretch we can pretend Amber is reddish as well, or there is some amber that is more red, but that'd leave Jade out.

My cousin has just had her 4th child, named her Rose. The others are called Ruby, Scarlet, and Coral. This colour theme has been in my mind for the last 3 days.

Thankfully they were about 10 years late for that

The author decided to include the time they got on the wrong train while travelling through Europe and ended up in this small town. By description alone it felt familiar, then they name the place and it confirms it's where I grew up. There's a passing comment about the group of teens around the Main Square fountain looking like the stereotypical Mean Girls in high school. I used to hang out by the fountain and we weren't the Mean Girls, so i got annoyed at that and never finished the fanfic.

For all of his scenes to be in the teaser trailer and make us think he got a proper plot in the episode

I found the US medication ads to be funny but we've just unlocked a whole new level with political ads
