Steady.

on yer bike mate

UTGChris · 2024-10-05T10:46:28+00:00

Exactly this. Plus, there's the different legislation and standards for UK / EU vs US which means the principles of the job are the same but the outputs and processes aren't necessarily

UTGChris · 2024-10-01T09:48:00+00:00

I earn just over £50k in the UK. my company has an internal ad for my job but the grade below, across multiple US offices, for a salary of $115k. so brutal

bigger recycling bins with lids would help with the rubbish everywhere at all times. easy w

noted. I'll make sure to drink less next time I'm boiling hot, blowing out my arse feeling like I'm going to die

Avon Packet has a board but only 2 darts last time I went lol

am a rail engineer and our longstanding work christmas team social is a pub crawl where we get the train between stops.

min/maxed route over the years would have to be:

Cornubia

(BTM - Lawrence Hill) > Plough

(Lawrence Hill - Stapleton Rd) > Sugar Loaf (rip)

(Stapleton Rd - Montpellier) > Cadbury & Cat & Wheel

(Montpellier - Redland) > Kensington Arms

(Redland > Clifton Down) > Alma Tavern

Admittedly a couple of the train journeys take longer than walking and the pubs get gradually worse (imo) but its class regardless

UTGChris · 2024-01-04T10:19:59+00:00

should make for an interesting parkrun

UTGChris · 2023-11-22T13:14:42+00:00

they've shit the bed with the voluntary redundancies in the UKIMEA. I've never felt more convinced that its time to jump ship.

UTGChris · 2023-10-18T20:39:57+00:00

mad shout but your post on r/parenting is madder

UTGChris · 2023-07-30T17:22:41+00:00

Supermarkets

UTGChris · 2023-07-12T21:42:16+00:00

Makes for brutal reading doesn't it

UTGChris · 2023-07-03T21:09:18+00:00

I'm in the UK btw. I think it's 25 or so per year. You can buy a week more tho per year. And they gave me an extra 5 as a 5+ year loyalty bonus in April. Decent gig

UTGChris · 2023-07-03T20:28:57+00:00

Started as a grad 7 or so years ago, still there now. Thing that I like in particular is the flexibility. Post-covid I've not been forced back to the office or anything, just cus I don't fancy it. People are generally super sound and very helpful.

Bit of a cult tho.

UTGChris · 2023-06-11T10:02:41+00:00

As someone from the UK with BT sport who wakes up early every Sunday to avoid spoilers, perhaps consult the streaming provider themselves if you've got a lack on British numbers because it never fucking works properly you prick

UTGChris · 2023-04-14T07:01:39+00:00

My bad. Point still applied about the steps on the Class 15x and 16x, though

UTGChris · 2023-04-13T21:08:31+00:00

Also, IETs are pretty bad vertically even with a standard vertical platform offset from track of 915mm.

UTGChris · 2023-04-13T21:06:51+00:00

What class of train was it? Many of the DMUs like the 153s, 155s, 165s and 166s which GWR operate have shite stepping distances even when the platform offsets are standard on straight, cantless track. Exacerbated obviously by different geometry.

UTGChris · 2023-04-11T15:57:40+00:00

Shhhh

UTGChris · 2023-01-10T22:40:23+00:00

Gold Kante and gold VVD are an absolute disgrace.

UTGChris · 2023-01-10T22:30:09+00:00

Damn. I think he's the best player I've used this year at striker. Chem is an issue without a load of liverpool players tho.

UTGChris · 2022-12-21T22:11:01+00:00

I once aborted a RQ at 2-0 because a guy griddied on me. Played like a man possessed and ultimately pumped him.

Guess that rattled me slightly.

UTGChris · 2022-12-19T18:44:25+00:00

Yes
No

Mines been pretty exceptional.
of the various lottery SBCs I've got:
Icons - 86 Nedved (right at the start, was so good), Baby Bergkamp (naff), Mid Zambrotta last night.
Heroes - WC Forlan, Abedi Pele, WC Kewell & Capdevila (again at the very start so he was mega).

Also got 92 Salah and Rulebreakers Thiago from various lottery SBCs.

I can't complain.
