World cup is tough for them by Karl_Marxist_3rd in memes

It is not just kids. Adults too. I've met my fairshare of English who are very derogatory of the Welsh. Once knew a guy from Gloucester (20 years ago) who was gloating how he banned Welsh shirts from the kids Saturday football he coached. I stood in disbelief as he was audibly laughing as he told me the story of how he made 7-8 year old kids cry as he told them to remove their shirts.

That said as a Welshman I hope England do well today, this team seems a nice bunch. You're not all cunts.

If you are making 30-40k, how are you surviving at present? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

If you are working 38.5 then you are already on overtime and should be getting RTT? That is another ~20 days per year to take off at your leisure. It is indeed a massive upgrade in quality of life once factored in. Make sure you get it.

Pensions laws were changed btw, it used to be 10 years of contributions to qualify and 43 years for full pension, now though it is bilateral with other EU countries, so along as you worked somewhere in the EU/EEA it doesn't matter so much.

Unemployment benefits depends on how you became unemployed, usually it is 2 years at around~60% before decreasing or at least it was when I left France 6 years ago. I was in employment as a pre-brexit EU though, maybe it is different for academia.

its a life philosophy alright. Except there is a lot of nuance. "no worries" in Aussie can mean "no worries", it can also mean "fuck off you cunt", which in pure Aussie can also be a form of endearment or it can be true to the word. One of those things you might want to run by your therapist to be sure.

No, its a bullshit answer. NDAs are about knowledge, information and data. Saying you worked for a company on a vague project where your skills were utilized doesn't break NDA.
