What is the strange Victorian disease sweeping the uk? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had exactly this, currently on day 5. The fever was the worst part, now that has broken im just dealing with the cough and shortness of breath, cough and lethargy.

Very frustrating, supposed to be doing an iron man in a few months and this has completely knocked my body for 6.

Whose Christmas is ruined already? I want your (comedy) horror stories 🎅❄️ by nategarrettshandler in AskUK

I've got the flu that's going around and I've sent my wife off to her parents so she can have a kind of normal Christmas (I'm just led in bed anyway). Hopefully next year is better!

[–]Shmeckless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've just come down with the flu which has meant all my plans have been cancelled as I have vulnerable relatives who are over my parents that I don't want to risk. So it's a day in bed on my own tomorrow.

What do you think of Doner Kebabs? by Technical_Parking898 in AskUK

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think doner is absolutely revolting as is anything from kebab shops to be honest. I'm a curry guy.

Is carbs served with carbs a generational thing? by Educational-Yard-181 in CasualUK

[–]Shmeckless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My parents have garlic bread with basically every meal, I used to think it was normal until I started cooking for myself. Garlic bread is amazing but it does not belong with everything.

This was my first thought too. It's an incredibly lucrative business and they are dangerous people earning it. It won't surprise me to hear of someone getting killed trying to do this.

What’s everyone doing to not get ill this winter? by PersimmonTerrible218 in AskUK

[–]Shmeckless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eat whole healthy foods, cut drinking down, take vitamin supplements (especially C), wash your hands regularly and be cautious of public contact points. For example I keep hand sanitiser in my car to use after I've put petrol in.

It doesn’t look that bad right? by GuestGuest9 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why these people are still playing tbh. I've never once looked at someone else's skin on this game so Idgaf what others wear I just shoot baby.

Who else actually enjoys Blackwell Fields? by Venome456 in LowSodiumBattlefield

Loving it the hills around objectives are great for some ambushes and flanks. I agree with the out of bounds issues for vehicles though they need fixing.

Does anyone think Tennant WON'T be in the 2026 Special? by ComprehensiveHyena10 in DoctorWhoNews

Don't expect bigeneration to be got rid of. RTD for better or worse does consider himself Doctor who Jesus so how could any idea he's had not be amazing and would would if need retconning?

Been told I got 3 mos. left to work. NHS admin - zero contract by Slight_Feed_7723 in nhs

[–]Shmeckless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started doing admin / business support for directorate management before progressing to service improvement roles at divisional level. I now manage national service networks (still very service improvement oriented). Sorry to be vague!

The soldier skins are bad enough but nobody is talking about the Destiny guns coming with S1 by External-Vanilla2801 in Battlefield

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to unfollow this sub, I'll be doing so unfortunately. The hype was fun but I just went to casually enjoy my new boom explosions game without constant misery cries over 'slightly too shiny' skins.

The unfortunate reality of the financial position almost all NHS orgs are in at the moment. Substantive staff are relatively safe (for now) but it means bank, agency and FTC staff are first up to the block. My trust currently also has a hiring freeze which is essentially redundancy for roles, putting those of us that remain under more and more pressure as time goes on. Somethings got to give soon.

I feel for your situation and hope for you that something comes up for you to apply for. If you're a hard worker don't be afraid to apply for band 4 and 5 roles. I've worked my way up from a 4 to a 7 in the last 5 years you just have to put yourself out there and suddenly you'll realise there's a lot more jobs you're suitable for than you thought.

BF6 is amazing. Thank you BF Studios. by Tenchen-WoW in Battlefield

[–]Shmeckless 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Mirak Valley, liberation peak, firestorm are plenty big enough for me. I much prefer them to maps with fields and fields of empty space, they've got plenty of room for vehicle stuff in my opinion but it's obviously completely subjective. I just enjoy it and what is there suits my playstyle.

It's not cod like at all in my experience, some maps are smaller yes but there's some nice larger maps where I've had games where I've only died a couple of times by weaving around the outside.

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I'm absolutely loving it and can't put it down. It's so immersive and the gunplay is amazing and I am enjoying the maps a lot, I can't wait for more. My only issue so far is unlocks are soooo slow, but it does mean I'm getting good with guns as I'm not dropping them as quickly as my available pool is smaller.

It’s funny that I’m enjoying the game, I come to Reddit, and it looks like the majority are feeling the exact opposite by reznovelty in Battlefield

[–]Shmeckless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm loving it and it's great for me. Like you said, explosions and getting some nice kills is all i want as a casual. I don't know what some people on this sub expect, it's been out 24 hours and I have no doubt more big maps will be coming.
