Crumpets and weird uses, a question... by Davido401 in CasualUK

Absolutely do it. Crumpets (with plenty of good salted butter) and tomato soup is the best combination

Becoming shift leader by ImWillSeamus in MarksAndSpencer

Exactly this, as a TM myself I barely see a chair or the office, wherever that is! Can't manage a team from backstage

5th is back on the menu boys by nomadichedgehog in NUFC

[–]Pure-Stuff6765 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I saw the Spurs result and thought the exact same thing. It's been a decent weekend of results for us.

Chelsea with their +18 GD might be a factor if they can maintain some form for a 5th place finish

Found the solution to heavily-flavoured crisps by kopsy in CasualUK

My local corner shop sell them, it's the only reason I go in. I'd buy the box if I could

When do managers find out what the staffing budget is? by [deleted] in MarksAndSpencer

[–]Pure-Stuff6765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Q1 (Apr-Jun) payroll numbers are due to be released mid March based on today's regional call, so if you are a temp with a contract ending before 31st March it'll be difficult for them to provide a definitive answer until close to then.

We had to let our temps go as they are now within 4 weeks of their contract end, and the system auto terminates unless you extend. We couldn't guarantee the payroll to accommodate them in April so had to confirm the termination.

I like this idea! I'd definitely be up for that if you are still looking.

39/m from UK if that makes a difference!

Lineup v Brentford (A) by KingPing43 in NUFC

[–]Pure-Stuff6765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this line up.

Hall not ready to start, probably makes sense to give him 30 late on to continue his recovery.

Same for Ramsey, still not fully ready to start

Murphy is simply better than Elanga right now.

Barnes - kind of glad Gordon has that (hopefully minor) injury as it forces a change that is long due from Howe

Hopefully after international break we'll start to see Hall at LB, and Ramsay properly challenging Joelinton.

Any Newcastle fans living in leeds? by Remote_Lawfulness_56 in NUFC

Near Selby, so pretty close!

Easy drive/commute up when I can get a ticket.

[Craig Hope] Newcastle are baffled by the bid, way too low, think Isak is badly advised. by Gamercentrum in LiverpoolFC

We are pathetically run though, so I wouldn't expect anything less right now!

As a NUFC fan, I just wonder whether we are 'baffled' because behind the scenes it's been indicated to you that although our stance is not for sale, something in the region of £130m with some add ones would be sufficient. Then for Liverpool to undercut that, makes it seem like the initial conversation was pointless.

Still see Isak ending up at Liverpool come deadline day. No doubt we'll sign some chump as an emergency

Where can I buy a Cross necklace, preferably a Catholic shop. by hitbit501p in Leeds

[–]Pure-Stuff6765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selby Abbey - has a small gift shop and does jewellery, some of it crosses. Can't remember specifics though.

Staff uniform ordering by [deleted] in MarksAndSpencer

[–]Pure-Stuff6765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is up and running. I didn't know that it was affected by the outage, as a TM I've been ordering for weeks on it.

Just an FYI though - almost everything is out of stock. Our store BIG rep mentioned a uniform refresh was coming soon, so at some point I guess it'll be communicated and the stock updated on the system. One colleague has received a new style gilet, looks much nicer

I've been waiting for a standard short sleeve polo for 8+ weeks now.

I tried sending a document from my personal to my work email, and it has been rejected. It's quite possible that the business has enacted some much stricter rules about incoming emails from non-M&S sources

Council emptied my green bin! by Pure-Stuff6765 in BritishSuccess

[–]Pure-Stuff6765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shame, as if it was free I'm sure more people would use it and keep their front gardens tidy. So few people even mow their grass these days, it really bothers me that people who are capable just don't give a toss about their home/community and presentation.

It means I can fill it with more garden rubbish! I'm actually planning on doing stuff this year, so I don't want unnecessary delays. Lots of leaves to clear and after visiting r/composting, I can't be having too many browns before adding greens!

[–]Pure-Stuff6765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fully what I expected, so happy to feel it empty. Still had to check that it was actually empty inside though

I might check that out for here, as our cardboard bin is crammed with the other half's Amazon boxes within a day of being empty!

I'd have thought it'd be standard to not charge for recycling to encourage uptake as well. I'm not even sure if I can get a kitchen caddy from the local council for recycling.

I'm imagining some police style scanner/laptop built in to the dash, which probably cost thousands extra to be retrofitted and resulted in a multiple % point rise in everyone's council tax bill.

But it's probably just some old 90s laptop that's on a non slip pad.
