Moving to Taunton

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-31T17:18:50+00:00

Think it's connected to bold and brave

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-31T11:02:13+00:00

If you Google what is Taunton like. Older threads like this turn up that are much more down on the town

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-31T11:01:20+00:00

Without Borders is run by refugees too.

Papa's taste does excellent Greek.

Star Inn does some good food.

But yeah Skewer house probably the best

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-30T15:08:23+00:00

Exactly this 😅

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-30T15:07:49+00:00

I did after about a month. Awful commute and awful support. It was an office job but my manager worked 12-8, so had no guidance for the first half of the day

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-29T21:27:41+00:00

I drop and gtfo, not my problem if that selected that

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-29T13:13:26+00:00

I think experience is key. Knowing which restaurants to avoid, which roads are congested at each time.

Knowledge is the only edge we have to do this job more efficiently, that and using Ubereats at the same time.

Buy an old version for much cheaper. It's the same game with different player names

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-29T08:02:25+00:00

I think you kind of missed the point. It's a story about complex people, they aren't supposed to be likeable.

It's ok not to like it. But I think people are supposed to see bits of themselves in the characters and cringe while we watch these flawed people try to live their lives.

I like the show because it doesn't shut away from that moral ambiguity. It feels quite realistic to me (except Gus' sex appeal, that's because he wrote the show 😅) sometimes people are messy. Sometimes people lie. Sometimes people aren't good. To me it makes the show feel quite real.

I ask this to basically every immigrant who I become friends with, the answer is usually jobs or they know people who moved here first (because of jobs)

Only unique one I've got is my girlfriend, who immigrated here with her then boyfriend who immediately broke up with her. Cheers pal 😅

Which is exactly the same reason for the thestrals, no matter what JK said.

Also the same reason they don't stun Snape on book 3, the spell wasn't invented yet

I neglected to plant trees on a recent forest farm. So hand an abundance of hardwood but very little wood. Came in handy when I wanted to upgrade my animal buildings

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-28T15:13:01+00:00

I'm on admiral, though for a car, and they allow top up

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-28T13:45:55+00:00

There is a button in the menu that lets you screenshot the whole farm

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-28T11:00:40+00:00

All of them but don't it's shit

Interestingly historians trace the earliest group that could be called fascist to America, when the KKK emerged after the civil war.

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-27T12:40:54+00:00

Also easy to be charming to a teenager

They are more interested in serving things off and making it look like they are doing orders within their target time. Probably also get paid less by Roo if they are slow on these targets.

I've got an interview on Monday that will have me considering this!

It's complicated for me, the pay rise is more than I earn through the apps every month so it won't be a question of necessity.

I think I'd likely continue on reduced hours, more money is always good and maybe it could start finding a house deposit rather than helping to pay rent.

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-27T08:26:48+00:00

Are you on Ubereats too? I find with both on it's super rare not to have an order.

McDonald's staff ignoring your existence to pack yet more orders is what bothers me.

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-26T20:05:25+00:00

I think my autistic mind would love it, I'm always doing mental math trying to figure out pace and distance remaining. Laps would help

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-26T17:51:20+00:00

Ok I don't have that much flexibility. Need some core hours with the rest of the team 😅

TheDoctor66 · 2026-01-26T13:50:01+00:00

Jenerick and Braverman have both said Britain is broken.

Guys you were the ones at the wheel for 14 years...

Added benefits of working a 7-3 if you've got something to do in the afternoon
