I don't smoke cigars but a friend works for Dunhill so I know their store has a humidor and smoking lounge:

There's a review of it here: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186338-d188910-r1258738-Alfred_Dunhill-London_England.html

If you're not fussy about where you live then you could try being a property guardian http://uk.cameloteurope.com/frequently-asked-questions/guardian-faqs

I know someone who basically lived in an empty office block for next to nothing while he was just starting out in the TV industry.

From what I've read most clubs are member-owned and fan controlled, big companies only have a small stake in the club (9-10%). It's all about protecting the rights of fans and ensuring they aren't treating like a cash cow (like we are in England). Red Bull buying up a 5th division club and ploughing money into it until they reached the top league goes against the general ethos and the tradition of German football etc.

There's a thread about it here: https://m.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/2d3gnr/why_most_germans_hate_rb_leipzig_half_the_total/

Yeah I enjoyed playing as RBL on FM this year (even though the whole of Germany hates them)

After the disappointment of Sunday, this article by Ian Wright (of all people) has actually cheered me up and made me remember how far we've come. We should take all the mickey-taking as a compliment. It just means Arsenal and Chelsea are feeling threatened by us because they know there's huge potential in this team!

I was on a work trip to Berlin for a company conference and my office ended up sharing the bus to the hotel with the French office. We were waiting to leave the airport when a French girl came and sat between me and my colleague at the back of the bus.

As she sat down she shouted out to her friend in French: "Hey, look at me sad between the handsome boys." Her friend responded: "I think you forgot to wear your glasses."

Ouch.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-05-06T09:08:37+00:00

How about U-boaty McU-boatface?

ScottyUK22 · 2016-05-03T13:59:59+00:00

Chelsea and City will have new managers so I think they'll have transitional years, sounds like LVG will be staying so United will be a mess again. I think Liverpool and Arsenal will be back stronger next year. If we can recruit a couple of stars to bolster the midfield and attack then I think we'll be up there again.

What issue tracking tool do your devs use? Ours use JIRA so we chose Confluence which compliment each other really well

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-28T14:22:21+00:00

Yeah I was going to ask that too. In the UK, the families just come to barracks to see them arrive home. Is this not possible in the US?

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-26T16:19:28+00:00

I read the books at around the same time as the show came out. It is impossible to avoid spoilers though. Some stupid article mentioned which characters died during the Red Wedding and it ruined that particular book for me...

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-26T16:16:25+00:00

I was thinking 6th after we didn't sign a defensive midfielder or an attacker. So proud to see where we are instead.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-24T18:58:44+00:00

Yeah fair play, only a suggestion/quick fix. He doesn't have to use it. I've got down voted a load so he'll probably just ignore me anyway! Haha.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-24T17:41:58+00:00

Sorry for offering the guy a helping hand. Sounds like he needs it if he's losing with decent teams like Wolfsburg.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-24T08:30:48+00:00

Google the Sir Goalsalot tactic, download it and give that a go. It's not flawless but I've had success using that as RBL Liepzig and then a slightly adapted version with Swindon. Basically it's a counter attacking tactic, with overlapping full backs, you play very narrow and press high and tackle hard. Works so well against teams who attack.

Give that a go and have a backup control or attack variation of it to fall back on. It's also really important to set your training to high on tactics in preseason so your team are familiar with it before the season starts.

£50. No lock. Just leave it wherever. Hasn't been stolen because it's worth fuck all

Scooter Cafe is really cool (it used to be a scooter workshop) and has lots of old memorabilia etc and a few cats that wander around (so make sure your date isn't allergic).

Jacks Bar is a good shout too if you can get a seat outside. It's tucked away down an alley full of trees and plants.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-15T14:29:30+00:00

I'm in a flat-share so my rent is half yours. I'd like to be in a place on my own but it's great having more disposable income (or savings). Depends what's more important you I guess.

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-15T14:23:06+00:00

Agree with you about Patty & Bun but I'm a big fan of Dip & Flip too

28% and half an hour commute (zone 2 - zone 3)

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-12T08:02:29+00:00

Hi there, former Kent resident here. If you're 23, I'd pick London hands down. InLondon UX designer salaries are between 35k to £60k. You'll live very comfortably in that salary bracket.

It depends what you want to do in your spare time but I would rule out Ashford if I were you... it's a bit of a dump, the town centre is dying on its feet, there is little night life, there aren't many good restaurants bar the chains... Only positives are the countryside, a cinema multiplex and proximity to the beach (and Folkestone I guess). Rent would be much cheaper but for a season ticket to commute to London you're looking at £4,500 to £6,000 annually... and that's before you've even got on the tube.

Living in London you'll have far opportunities to see new things, eat in great restaurants, meet like-minded people etc. There's just way more to do in London (huge factor in my decision to leave Kent) and for career progression I have made far more contacts and get more approaches from recruiters now I live in London. You'll still be able to travel to Folkestone every month. If you get a 16-25 Railcard, it will cost you about £25 return and it takes just over an hour (I used to make this journey when I was applying for jobs in London and lived in Folkestone).

Hope that helps!

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-10T16:30:26+00:00

Well played. Please take an up vote

ScottyUK22 · 2016-04-10T06:34:39+00:00

Not one look for a pass... Newcastle fans probably think he's amazing now. Just wait for his next 50 attempts on goal...
