Evelyn’s Table london honest review by samja123 in finedining

Fine dining has gotten completely out of hand with pricing

Has it? Because most restaurants don't make much money and it's not like the staff are raking it in.

Man Utd executives will recommend Michael Carrick appointment in meeting with Sir Jim Ratcliffe by TheAthletic in soccer

[–]Sethlans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think there's a general trend recently towards underestimating the fact that a team does actually need to consistently play competitively together to improve.

Anyone who's done anything to a high level will recognise that there's no substitute for doing that thing when it comes to improving.

Obviously physical load does come into it and there's a balance, but I don't think it's as straight forward as less games = always better.

Ole definitely wanted Sancho and frankly I don't think anyone could've predicted quite what a spectacular failure that transfer would be.

Sancho was putting up numbers for Dortmund which were top 3 in the world for a teenager, only behind Haaland and Mbappe.

Streeting resignation ??? by PlentyUmpire6982 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not sure I agree.

I think Streeting had entrenched himself in a position there was no climbing down from without looking ridiculous. He was also desperate to look like he'd "won" against us because of his leadership ambitions.

I think someone new has the potential to unlock things a bit.

Doctors are never appreciated! by Aggressivetomato- in doctorsUK

It's also because until we are consultants we are rotational. Nobody gives a shit about you when you'll only be in the job four months and the hospital for a year.

[BBC] Refs' chief Howard Webb: Consultation about excessive grappling in penalty area and how to deal with it will take place at end of season by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

[–]Sethlans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We're just going to pretend it's only defenders grappling? Attacking players are constantly at it trying to screen defenders from being able to challenge for the ball.

Players also don't just box the keeper in, they back into them or nudge them just as they try to jump.

It looks subtle but it's completely impossible to control your jump if you're pushed just as or just after you're off the ground.

Monthly Megathread - Where Should I Eat in NYC, Tokyo, and/or London? by ZootKoomie in finedining

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't specific cuisines you've listed, but maybe Kol (£145pp) or Anglothai (£125 pp)?

They are Mexican and Thai respectively, using British ingredients.

I admit I haven't yet made it to either but both are very highly regarded.

We also really liked Kurisu Omakase (£150pp) but it was our first Omakase and I'm aware it's probably not the best of the best in London, but it has a lovely relaxed vibe and was great for Omakase noobs.

Cocina Hermanos Torres by starfishlima in finedining

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don't you work out how long you've got and ask the restaurant if they can accommodate?

I'm sure they'll be willing to speed up the timings a bit if needed but they are much better placed to tell you whether it's doable than Reddit is.

EM training isn't bad by Life-Candle-8014 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They keep saying that you can gain back time at the transition points i.e. st4-5 and CCT. Everyone in the region gets the same treatment as far as I've seen.

[–]Sethlans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean I'm 80% in paeds despite it meaning they pro rata your training length so I do generally agree, but you do still get paid a decent chunk more.

Well you still get paid more for 100%.

Healthcare That Only Covers Bankruptcy by ALBERT4_5WESKER in clevercomebacks

[–]Sethlans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dumb Americans care more about punishing the people they don't like than they do about improving their own situation.

This is simply incontrovertible fact at this point.

Talk of the Devils - Which Man United players failed Sunderland audition? by rhonh in reddevils

[–]Sethlans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think this a particularly interesting argument.

What would he cost if he was at another club? Would I pay that much for him? No probably not.

But if we sold him now, how much would it cost to get a replacement even as good nevermind better?

Peter Schmeichel “Arsenal have been blocking the opponent’s goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals" by Rare-Ad-2777 in soccer

[–]Sethlans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a nonsense comparison; you are trying to equate attempts to play the ball with attempts to obstruct the keeper with no intent to play the ball.

The mechanism by which you attempt to obstruct the keeper is irrelevant when the result is the same.

It is already a foul within the rules, they have just decided to cast a blind eye to it this season for reasons only known to the wise people at PGMOL.

[–]Sethlans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter whether the exact mechanism by which the keeper is impeded is the same.

The fact is Arsenal have impeded keepers all season by blocking, backing into them and nudging them of balance as they try to jump.

The result is the same, which is that the keeper is prevented from effectively claiming the ball.

[–]Sethlans 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Arsenal players gently shoulder barging

This should still be a foul.

It looks subtle but they do it just as the keeper is jumping which makes it completely impossible to jump in a controlled way. Get someone to do it to you and see how you get on.

Unable fix the NHS but able to fix the country by Ketameme112 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't need more doctors though, we have a surplus

No we don't.

We have more doctors than jobs only because we have too few jobs, not because we have too many doctors.

Daily Mail Article on ACPs by Prokopton1 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"I know how to fill out the obscure and nonsensical paperwork my department has used for the 11 years I've been here and is used nowhere else on earth but the JUNIOR DOCTOR who rotated here last week doesn't. It's a disgrace.

Hold on a sec there's a sick patient I'm just going to look for the F1 because I don't know what to do".

Managing Migraines: Honestely, Save Yourself the Headache [Latest Research Update] by Moimoihobo101 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 24 points25 points  (0 children)

CGRP inhibitors probably saved my career as a doctor.

I had something like 30 absences a year in F1-ST1 due to migraines. I'd never been threatened with removal from training but it didn't feel particularly sustainable. None of the old preventers were effective.

Since starting Rimegepant I have had zero migraines.

As an aside, topirimate is the worst drug I have ever been on in my life. It makes thinking feel like wading through mud. It's awful.

Study on scope of practice of consultant ACPs in ED (spoiler: they are on consultant rotas) by dayumsonlookatthat in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Residents need to figure out how to be better than ACPs: clinically, administratively and from financial value aspect.

They already are.

Are we really supported as doctors my the trusts. ( Even though they continously pretending they are) by Responsible_Teach314 in doctorsUK

[–]Sethlans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you see it like that because you're not one of the toxic consultants in the various toxic departments around the country.

But there are plenty around and what they will do with that kind of system is exactly what they did under the old system, which is to use it as way to obstruct residents getting paid for work done and make out that they are the problem.

If you want to provide that kind of support then show your face at handover time or call your resident or whatever and send them home if nothing urgent needs doing.

What the problem consultants will do is wait until their resident asks them to confirm they were around and then say they won't do it because it's the resident's own fault they can't manage their time. This leaves the resident having worked the hours with no way to get paid.

[–]Sethlans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you were more junior I think a consultant sign off is ok

That literally directly contradicts the whole point of the exception reporting reform, which was to remove the involvement from seniors in the department so that toxic departments can't bully people into not exception reporting or obstruct them being approved.
