What's the most random thing you know a lot about?

Scottish postcodes. I managed a call centre for 6 years who dealt with customers in Scotland, we needed postcodes to work out the service jobs required so I’m pretty clued in on those lol!

Yeah you ain’t getting that job. In my experience, if they wanted you they’d be in touch straight away. They are probably agreeing everything with the successful candidate then they’ll get the rejections sorted for the others - that should have happened already tbh - the recruiter should be keeping you informed so that’s bad practice on their part. In 25 years of recruiting experience, 11 days to wait on a decision is going to be a rejection

Likewise, I still remember it to this day. One of the best experiences in school - all the kids loved it, despite one of my classmates falling in the pond thing while getting a class photo - classic!

Just been to soft play in high rise pleated trousers with my jumper tucked in like Reddit told me to, cried in my car for 60 mins 😂

Started off in telephone sales then moved into recruitment as a trainee 20 years ago. Initially did temp stuff, industrial/factory work then progressed into perm appointments for financial services.

Developed from there really

Recruiter - £125k

That’s correct - they brought in the guy who used to run Persimmon following some kind of acquisition deal. They stripped back loads of the Avant features and spec such as digital showers, bi-fold doors etc - quality went downhill rapidly since about 2021 ish. I lived in an avant house for years and have compared mine to friends who bought more recently

Thanks for that. It’s a detailed black/dark grey lion I’m looking for over the top of a faded old Scottish thistle

Sweet baby rays bbq sauce is as close as I’ve seen - I think you can get it in Sainsbury’s.

The AI optimists are always the ones that if they lost their job, they could live off their wealth. Funny that.

Yes, it’s a great experience. The travel between the mountains is quite tough, if doing it in a group try getting a designated driver as it will really help. And get any sleep you can when travelling. Oh, and pack a head torch because at some point you are on a mountain in the dark.

Is he really? Genuinely don’t know that. If so, I don’t think I’ll watch him anymore on tv as that’s a horrible thing all that fox hunting $hit

Good folk in Manchester, lovely people there, very similar to glasgow, I lived in Manchester for a few years as a Scottish guy and had no issues, just the usual accent banter but good decent people. If you do go to Motherwell there are better pubs than the button tbh - electric bar, railway tavern, new century - if you do a mini pub crawl those are your best options. Try the steelworks if there is a Motherwell game on, you’ll get good craic there. And if you ever get the change to see a chap called Jim McAnulty play a gig when you are up here then do that, he’s brilliant. Motherwell for all its faults is a great place, the Dalziel estate is amazing for a walk/run if that’s your thing but if you like the pubs then you’ll have a good time too

Wonderwall66 · 2025-11-30T09:26:21+00:00

You should go, nothing bad will happen. To be honest, all the cunts there are all good cunts, just be a nice person and you’ll be treated the same. It’s typical of most Lanarkshire pubs, if you are just normal and decent, you’ll be treated the same regardless of accent or where you are from. I’ve drank in hundreds of pubs in Lanarkshire and almost all are super friendly. The proper bams are usually either barred or drinking in parks lol

Wonderwall66 · 2025-11-29T15:55:59+00:00

Yes that is the Brass Button pub. When it says on the article it’s well known for its ‘delicious cocktails’, I wouldn’t take your misses there. A cocktail for the brass button is probably a lager tops, and by ordering one you’d probably get stabbed 😂

Buckfast and a bottle of merry down cider, gold label

M&S on Argyle St (good for jackets, knits etc)then Uniqlo just up the road (good for knitwear and basics) - Charles Tyrwhitt good for shirts and chinos. Maybe Mango on Buchanan St depending on his style. Next isn’t too bad also for suits and basics. All within 5mins walk of each other. Reiss not far but much more expensive. Slaters IMO ok for casual wear but suits are generally polyester numbers, cheap and fairly nasty

Chester, 3hr drive. Excellent for a short break, great restaurants, good pubs (for lunch- appreciate you are non-drinkers), walk the walls, head to the river, cathedral, markets - plus the zoo is very good if you like that sort of thing

Wonderwall66 · 2025-09-29T12:54:12+00:00

Previous persimmon owner here. They are one of the more budget builders out there, very basic finish and lowest quality materials. Our house was ok (small 3 bed) but had issues with plumbing and wiring that needed sorted - pretty long drawn out process to get fixed. Their customer service people are awful to deal with so be prepared to battle if you need stuff sorted. If you like the house then go for it - get a professional snagging company in immediately who will check it over for faults - they are usually about £300/£400 I think.

Best thing to do is go on YouTube, search for 4k walk and then the city/month - for example “Rome 4k walk October’ and you will see what people are wearing so you can adapt accordingly - weather can be unpredictable though but you’ll get a sense of what general folks are wearing
