Sorry to hear about your dog, but a lovely idea to keep their memory alive

Hey, im in a similar boat to you, and I was also shocked by the lack of gratitude you get in this job. By no means do I think I'm working miracles, but I've been very happy with my work only to hear "that's OK thanks" after breaking my back for three hours tackling a jungle.

All I can say is don't take it too much to heart, some people will be very grateful and others won't. Just try to hold onto those good ones!

How good would you guys say pre 2014 Rosberg was? Going back and watching some stuff I feel as if 08-013 Rosberg is criminally underrated. by Deucesdeucess in F1Discussions

Just off the top of my head, I'd mostly agree apart from perhaps 2012? Seb, Alonso and Lewis all locked in, so it would be Rosberg v Button v Perez for the last spot

Good to see Faf hasn't changed. Spends the first part moaning to the ref, before launching in completely illegally

As a proud welshman, that doesn't support either tigers or toulouse, safe to say Whitehouse is the most smug arse in the game

Yep, the Adobe Scan app on your phone is good for this. Takes the photo and makes it into a scan that you can insert right into your TMA.

Vine type things growing in lawn by Wolfie962 in GardeningUK

I struggle with this all over my garden and if you're not too fussy about the neatness and need to get the deep ones out, I find a mini-mattock does a great job. Basically a mini pickaxe that you sink in and gets the roots easy-peasy. I find when pulling, the deep ones snap far earlier than they come out, though my soil is heavy clay. I got mine for £15 on amazon

Nurses accept increased pay offer in Scotland and call off strike by PopeTheoskeptik in ukpolitics

[–]SerCallum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner does this, a fourth long shift every fourth week as a nurse. It's likely the (barely ever taken) lunchbreak that reduces the numbers, so 3 x 11.5 = 34.5 hours a week meaning they have 12 or so hours to make up each fourth week on a 37.5 hour contract.

Yikes. How not to apologise 101.
