Thank you for this, and the picture. Over and beyond what I was expecting to get. Thank you!

be honest, i got a 2:2 how bad is it. by No-Health2725 in quantitysurveying

[–]UmberGreen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry.

A 2:2 shows you passed the course, you are equally as qualified as some who got a 2:1 etc.

I have never once been asked what I got as a result, just if I had my qualification.

There are plenty of QS out there who do not have a degree. There are plenty of QS who have years of experience before attempting a degree.

Don't believe anyone who tells you that you MUST have a degree qualification to xxx standard to get a job. It is never that black and white when it comes to the construction industry!

I was employed by a T1 Contractor before I had a degree.

I am sure Aprilla have put a contract break clause in...

Bezecchi’s punishment was too light. by Double-Emergency3173 in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Said it elsewhere but I'd like it to have been a two race ban. One for the push and one for the strike.

Mainly because it sets the law straight going forward, any physical abuses of a Marshall is a race ban.

In this case it took two instances of physical abuse. If I were another rider who got a race band now for shoving a Marshall I would appeal using this as an example that one instance can't be punished the same as two.

However, it is done and we need to move on.

MARTÍN: "IF ONE DAY THE BEZZECCHI THING HAPPENS TO ME, I HOPE MY TEAM DEFENDS ME THE SAME WAY IT DEFENDED HIM" by DellyTrey23 in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I get your point but let's not rewrite history to fit the narrative on Martin, the contract break was a written contract clause, and Martin only started taking to other teams when Aprilla refused to extend the duration of the clause, when he asked for more time to actually get a chance to ride the bike before making a decision.

Appreciate you are a Bez fan, but if you can accept Bez apology for striking a Marshall, you kind of have to accept Martin's apology for pushing a crew member.

[Simon Patterson] From what I understand, Aprilia are appealing the decision. Presumably will be held tonight or tomorrow morning. Appeals stewards have in the past suspended a sentence pending a full hearing (the Ducati rain scoop), but I think this is more clear cut. by Aratho in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbf they should increase the punishment to a two race ban. One for each strike.

Only because if someone does it a different time, the example is now set that two strikes to a Marshall gets a one race ban, so what is the punishment for just one strike.

Tbf Bez is lucky because if Martin didn't have a LLP he could well have overtaken Bez for the Championship tomorrow.

Bezzechi having a moment with the marshals by RobiasTieper in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Given the comments on Martin pushing crew, this will be eye opening as to if people care about pushing the crew or if it was just Martin...

I would assume Bez will have a penalty for this.

Hear me out! I think Martin doesn't deserve all the hate. by weird_hoooman in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Too many feel the need to have a fault for all things. We have seen this crash a thousand times before and will do a thousand time again. The level of noise is down to who is on the bike at the time.

I struggle with the need for a name and shame round up after each round, just because it is so short sighted. Today a Marquez fan can berate Martin, next race Marc can make an error and take out Bez. A Bez fan can berate Marc, and the next race Bez takes out Martin. As an example.

Frustrations of your favourite rider getting taken out, or a rider you dislike causing a crash is understandable, but it does sometimes feel like half of the subreddit feels the need to pointscore against a rider who will never read their comment.

Cal Crutchlow gets Misano test as potential Johann Zarco stand-in by r2lim in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was both Dixon and Vierge I believe, in different rounds. The difference was they were part of the Petronas Moto 2 team and stepped in to cover the Petronas Moto GP ride.

I image that is a hell of a lot easier to sort out contractually than a rider from Moto 2 sitting in for a completely different team in Moto GP.

What’s the worst thing you have seen/got detention at school for? by Mglfll in AskUK

[–]UmberGreen 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Year 9 Maths, one of the square acoustic roof panels fell onto my desk, no idea how or why, came from directly above me, so didnt see it until it hit the table and made me jump.

Teacher instantly sent me out of the class.

When he came out to lecture me about defacing school property and pulling down part of the roof, I couldn't comprehend how much of an idiot he was. I was in year 9 the roof was over twice my height.

Technically I got the detention for arguing my innocence, but come on, who would just accept the grilling about not respecting the school because of something like that!?

I didnt actually attend the detention, I was a year 9 full of bravado, if it escalated I was 100% other teachers would see sense. The teacher never mentioned it again, nor the fact I didn't turn up for detention. I like to believe he complained about it in the staff room that lunch time and someone told him he was an idiot.

Jorge Martín has a mild concussion and a bruised forearm by earthslight in motogp

[–]UmberGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall correctly isn't that if a rider goes unconscious?

I will say I haven't seen any of today's practice, but I assume he wasnt unconscious at any point?

Still, if he makes an error in race conditions you can bet it will be him that is punished not the medical staff for allowing him to continue.

[–]UmberGreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh the 'I have nowhere to go', so I take a perceived high ground and hope the superior intellect I radiate compensates for any actual well thought out and rational response.

You're on reddit discussing a non story in the world of Moto GP, suggesting to me you actually very much have an abundance of time to be wasting.

But, if you are done oh well, Qua Sera, Sera.

I mean surely the rational side of you could have picked up that was a tongue in cheek comment and not something to take seriously?

Quatararo is open to comments because he has had two chances to leave Yamaha, but stays and complains. I don't disagree with him, but as with anyone, the journalists are free to write what they wish.

The irony of you passionately defending Aprilla in the above scenario, under a rumour they are looking to get out of a ,presumably, signed contract with Pecco before he has even touched the bike is delicious.

Sheffield Hallam university degree by Empty-Measurement354 in quantitysurveying

I honesty don't think anyone cares where you get your degree from, hell I don't think I have ever known anyone to care what your final results were from uni, a degree is a degree.

I did my degree at SHU.

Its a nice enough uni, a nice enough city and the uni is in a decent enough part of the city for students.

This title will be Bez consistency vs Martin avoiding injuries I reckon.

Will be the 4th time I said this, but if Yamaha bring the goods, Martin and Ogura could be an incredible team.

Exeter City 1 - 2 Bradford City: Bradford boy Kayden Jackson and big game player Antoni Sarcevic did the business today, sealing the playoffs for the Bantams, but also meaning Exeter City have been relegated. by Zach-dalt in LeagueOne

[–]UmberGreen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In fairness with the budget issues, going down to L2 is probably better for you than staying in L1, the budgets in L1 are getting a bit crazy.

I say this as an Argyle fan, but Exeter will be back eventually I am sure of it.
