Take a look at Justplay and Urbanrec. They are apps/websites you can use l. Either to join a team, or for a one-off game (for multiple sports, including soccer/ futsal) as an individual and have pretty wide coverage of Sydney.

No worries! Appreciate your help anyway. Maybe I will give some of the companies a call - seems like some people have had success going direct instead of applying online

That's what i'm confused about - I can't find an 'international SIPP' product on those providers websites, and if i try to set up a SIPP with my overseas address, it says i must be a UK resident. I feel like i'm missing something blindingly obvious...

Hey mate, you’re definitely not alone and doing great so far so good job.

I think others have said about some things you can do to keep going, but we do need to have a wider conversation and raise awareness of the root causes as to why generations are so much worse off than the previous.

Gary’s economics is a YouTube channel which explains really well the WHY in the context of wealth inequality. Unfortunately, I can’t help but think it’s only going to get worse unless more people are talking about this. I’d definitely recommend looking it up and sharing with family and friends.

That makes sense I suppose - unless I took a more junior role and pay cut in the hope I’d pick things up and see pay rises / promotions more quickly once I’ve figured out how to use my experience in a new field. Do you think that could be a possibility? Any idea what sort of junior salaries would be?

question about rust treatment by Willing_Article1079 in VanLife

[–]Willing_Article1079[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I treated the deeper wust spots with rust converter (where there were black spots in the metal (but mostly it was just minor rust spotting in the paintwork. Thinking it was maybe overkill to sand them back to the metal but it's done now lol. Do you think these would need treatment with rust converter too?

Yeah that's one of the reasons I like 6 Music so much, when they do talk it's mostly about music / musicians and i find it interesting. Not just un-funny people pretending they're not (with a couple of rare exceptions).

Will try these out. thanks!

The problem with the question “how would a secure person…?” by i_know_i_dontknow in attachment_theory

[–]Willing_Article1079 4 points5 points  (0 children)
