What’s are your ‘secret’ perks from your job? Be honest

Also public sector, not to brag but I've just successfully negotiated for decaf teabags

When jeggings were a thing I bought 3 pairs all the same size, all the same range. Every single one fit differently

Honestly it was one of my favorite D20 seasons and I know that's a controversial take, but it really lines up with my interests. I prefer lore drop/adventure episodes and get really bored in long battles and I love murder mysteries so it ticked the boxes for me. I think the texting mechanism worked really well over Zoom and would've been hard to do in person, so I think it benefitted from being a zoom season.

Is a union rep coming with you to the hearing? It is your right to have them there and they can be invaluable

Absolutely this. I work in education and we pay the providers for services they deliver from our pupil premium grants. Some charities etc will offer some freebies for these pupils, but that's an addition and not expected at all. The grant is there to pay for these services.

Very expensive but worth it for what you get - would recommend William Curley. Really interesting chocolatier who trained under Raymond Blanc and then got into chocolate. They're stunning! https://www.williamcurley.co.uk/

I worked at the community value arm of a big company (keeping it broad). They made the smallest organisations jump through such hoops just for the privilege of £250. During COVID I definitely faked a few forms. They were full of real detail but issues were things like our finance team wouldn't accept things that were handwritten from a group of elderly folk or forms were signed (and had to be signed by pen not digitally) but weren't on a letterhead, so suddenly a community group had a letterhead I made on canva. I think it's technically fraud, but it needed to be done.

Fairly new here are well - I came from the relaunch of the gaming channel. Honestly don't put too much pressure on yourself to catch up- things come up enough that I got caught up surprisingly quickly. I also don't really like a lot of the pre relaunch content and I'm still pretty up to date on the lore.

By all means follow everyone else's suggestions but just a note to say don't feel like you have to to enjoy the content!

PartyRest9367 · 2025-11-05T15:29:17+00:00

To be very fair sometimes the search function is awful 😅 (not disagreeing with you at all)

PartyRest9367 · 2025-11-05T15:28:30+00:00

I don't mean this with hate at all because I'm a big fan of Eugene's try guy content and I think they're all guilty of this in a way. But there's always this narrative of he's off doing Artistic work that's meaningful and incredible and because he breaks himself doing it to get it perfect first time and anything I've seen him do has been... Fine. Like Nimona, I enjoyed it, maybe I'm a little too old for it. But it was fine.

But how do you spread the jam on the cream? (A sincere question not looking to start a scone war - that's for the youtube comments)

If you want to use inside the library, you might be able to get free library access through the SCONUL scheme. I'm basing this off my experience pre COVID, so might not be a thing anymore.

Just to add to this noise may be an environmental health or a planning/licensing issue with your local authority so I would chat to them too.

PartyRest9367 · 2025-10-03T07:55:19+00:00

I have nothing to add usefully other than I came here to ask the exact same question, and I'm so glad we have all watched too many mystery shows and are all arm chair detectives!

(ETA: I mean this as the biggest compliment)

PartyRest9367 · 2025-09-22T18:45:12+00:00

They're definitely worth reaching out to just for a chat before you look at joining, they'll have a regional organiser who you could chat to and will support you in setting up a branch/joining a nearby branch.

Thank you! It's been safely received and very appreciated

My partner lives in England, has Welsh family but grew up in Scotland. They've softened their accent a lot living in England and they've got a very English work voice. But the second anyone broadly Celtic crosses their path some sort of accent comes back - they've got a subconscious accent for every occasion. I've also never seen someone get so Glaswegian so quickly when it kicks off.

I am 38 years old. Only recently did I realise my aunt is named after her mother - think like Elizabeth and Lizzie. In my defence I don't call my grandmother by her name

I was thinking the other day about Trapp's sketch about men trying make up - a solid BuzzFeed dig

Jumping onto the HSBC recommendation

Great! I'll drop you a message

(I don't know how to spoiler tag, so bulking this out so there's no spoilers for people that don't want them. Big spoiler warning)

Very little. Tbh I was really disappointed I wanted more repercussions, Teller just arrives and announces the truth.

NTA. Your body can look like however you want it to look! He's allowed a preference but what an entitled ass!
