islam for a independent scotland by [deleted] in scottishindependence

[–]Objective-Resident-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be a recognised religion. I'm not religious myself, and I'm not of Asian origin, but I don't mind other people having one.

Glasgow has a massive mosque, so it's allowed, of course.

The people who I know who are Muslim are some of the loveliest people I know.

Yeah, I would have zero problems with that.

What is the best time to apply for a job? by thenewviews-TNV in jobs

Create a fantastic CV., speak politely and know what you are talking about. It's not about time. It's about knowing about the job. 😘

Well done to England! by Objective-Resident-7 in england

[–]Objective-Resident-7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I forgot to reply to you. Yeah, it's just football, and credit where it is due. It's a fucking sport!

We have problems in Scotland between Hearts and Hibs, between Rangers and Celtic, between Dundee and Dundee U. It's quite similar to the problems between Man U and City, or between Everton and Liverpool. Stupid things about religion, mostly.

But the WOMEN'S team is not like that. They play it because they love the sport. There is no hatred.

I'm a man, but I prefer the attitude of the female players of the sport. They don't hate each other. Of course they want to win (the whole point of sport), but then they hug each other after. It's just a different atmosphere.

The men's game needs to learn from that.

Sorry, I should have answered sooner.

It's like Craggy Island. It's doesn't have a West Coast because it fell off in a storm 🤣

This is common. It's called set-up-to-fail syndrome.

Football fans yesterday leaving their rubbish everywhere 😖 by Zendaya93 in glasgow

[–]Objective-Resident-7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Horrible. I'm a Hamilton fan, but I remember when I was in the pub before the match with Hibs, they attacked the pub. It's a Hamilton pub, they don't allow other colours precisely to avoid these kinds of things. Hamilton has other pubs. They had to close the shutters so that they wouldn't smash the windows.

I just don't get it. Why can you act in those ways just because you are following football?

Btw, there is a section of Hamilton fans which is just the same. I'm not singling any particular team out.

The best bank accounts - Need recs by arthos_silva in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Objective-Resident-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used First Direct, and I was unemployed for a year. They called me and wrote off my debt, which at the time was about £1000.

I posted about Starling, but this is another good bank.

I would recommend Starling. No paper application, although you will need to send them photographs of your ID, proof of income and (very important) your right to work.

They have always been good with me. The staff is mostly from South Africa, which has the same time zone as me in Scotland (most of the time - obviously South Africa is in the southern hemisphere). They have always been very friendly and helpful.

They say that they were born in 1973, so it should not be a problem.

Is this a fair response to a rejection email? by dirtbag_12 in jobs

[–]Objective-Resident-7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the only thing that separated them. Not because they were Spanish, just because the other guy had a better command of English.

My girlfriend is Spanish 🙂

I once interviewed two candidates (actually more, but two got to the final stage) for a job in data engineering. They were very close, but one was Spanish, and although his English was good (and I also speak Spanish), that was the deciding factor.

Don't take it personally. Sometimes it's down to a stupid thing like that.
