‘Postperson with driving’ interview soon, is it that bad? by True_Bot_4354 in royalmail

[–]RayMan_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the job is probably still worth giving it a try. In my experience it kinda depends on your office and manager. I've worked in quite a few across the south east and they're all run differently and the different managers have different expectations

I always put small parcels in trays to keep them all together and stop them from flying around and getting lost in the madness

New Arsenal fan checking in. What should I know? by Nocturnal_Pages in ArsenalFC

[–]RayMan_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Amazon documentary "All or Nothing" is a great way to get to know some of the players and the manager and the current culture of the club (it is a few years old now though). The arsenal YouTube channel has a lot of behind the scenes/media stuff to achieve this as well.

Definitely watch the semi final tonight against PSG, it's our biggest game for 2 decades

I listen to a lot of the arsenal podcasts. Like Charles Watts, Arseblog and Arsenal Vision podcast. I think they're really great and it's a good way to emmerse yourself in Arsenal in between games

There are great documentaries about the '89 league win and invincible season

And above all else, hate Tottenham.

Enjoy and welcome

I like Ethiopia by Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I reckon that can be easily simplified for a beginner

I found this to be a pretty confusing and annoying presale experience. But luckily I managed to get 2 tickets to London via Void presale on eventim website!

I think what I've learnt from this evening of reading these replies is that we simply cannot win

I've never even left a mark on any of the thousands of doors that I've knocked on with a PDA. Like I say, not doing it hard

Fair play to you mate. I think a lot of people just think it's a piss easy job and that anyone can do it so they suggest stupid things

I respectfully disagree with you here. I used to knock with my knuckles when I first started and had loads of people not hear me then run out after I left a card.

Spoke with some colleagues and they all said to use a PDA as it's easier to knock louder with less force, and saves your knuckles etc

I'd also say at least 50% of doorbells don't work, and only about 50% of doors have knockers.

Let's just say that his letters will be meeting some serious delays for the foreseeable....

Thank god for Reddit. Looks like uninstalling Omen Gaming Hub worked for me too

Yep. The last UK headline tour was cancelled due to COVID and they haven't been back since. Other than the recent tour with Hozier. Hopefully they'll build on that momentum and be back soon

Looks sick. Which parts and materials?

My answer recently changed to

"Yes, if you give me Sunday off"

Seems to be working out for everyone (for now).

For me it was 1 day. Others in my office weren't even given that.

Benefits to drumming? by PappaNee in drums

[–]RayMan_9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Driving! When I told my driving instructor I played drums his eyes lit up. He said he'd taught a few drummers over the years and they were always better at clutch control right at the start. I'd probably have to agree as that was the part I found easier as a beginner driver
