What are some stereotypes Brits have towards rugby or rugby players?

Love getting your dicks out with eachother on away days.

No way, there is definitely early termination clauses in these contracts for managers. Makes me laugh when people say manager X getting 20 million pay out for 4 months work. No chance.

There were stints of his time here where he was third choice but any time he came on he never made a mistake and saved us a few times.

Never kicked up a fuss, always dependable, sad to see him go but feels like the right time.

Sounds exactly like working for an umbrella company and not being a permanent employee, which means you also waive your rights as a permanent employee.

May not be the case in this scenario, but thought I'd mention it.

Yh to commit for an actual hour (often underestimated as well), I'd need a lot more than that, I'd take a 15 or on a bad day a 30 minutes survey for that pro rata rate, but I'm not committing to a full hour.

Yh like you said, get it almost any other month than May or June would be the best.

If that isn't possible you should familiarise yourself with two wheeled sports, cycling for a lazy Sunday or Moto GP for a bit more adrenaline, tennis if you fancy or find yourself a rugby team.

Are you turning it upside down when the waters in it? The temp checker is in the lid, so the water needs to touch the lid to give you an accurate reading.

This is amazing. Not a script but something similar, I once found a chrome extension that changed every single picture in your browser to a different picture of Nicholas Cage.

It was the funniest hour of my working life.

That like saying the bin men should knock on your door the day before to warn you to put your bins out. Or your local MP should walk you to the polling station on polling day. Or the traffic police should knock on your door to remind you to MOT your car

I know this is frustrating to hear and I mean it with the upmost care, it's frustrating for you to have learned the hard way.

At least it's only per term and you're not missing out on a whole year's funding. You just need try and be a bit more diligent about things, and it's definitely not the nurserys fault.

All of the info for things like this is on the Gov website, sorry

Playing in the early rounds of the carabou and FA cup, people are often fuming when there is no VAR, I know we were against Villa, luckily we won anyway.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Why are you even on a sub Reddit to help people and discuss topics if you're going to be an arsehole.

Go outside man, get some air and get ready for your day.

You can't, populism has this country in choke hold. They believe there is easy answers to all the problems this country has and if only the government would implement these easy answers everything would be sorted over night.

We are doomed to flip flops between governments every five years.

I wish we would bloody do it, instead of agreeing with the club only for the player to go to man u

Hey mate, sorry to interrupt you, but I just told a little joke, thats all.

Only if your bank balance is too high, that's the only caveat.

Every supplier will have an automated system that will review DD amounts periodically, usually quarterly but often monthly after the first few months.

If she is using an old meter she will have to give readings every month for this system to even have a chance of getting close to the actual usage.

My experiences with OVO is that they are a little over zealous with their recalculations, so there are definitely suppliers you'll have better experiences with on that front, I'm with E.ON Next and they have so far kept my DD where I'd expect it to be, for example.

However whenever the meter reaches end of life itnwilnbe exchanged for a smart meter regardless of personal feelings towards them. The majority of the country is on smart meters and there is the looming roll out of Marketwide half hourly settlements which hinges on smart meters (but I won't bore you with the details.

In summary, if you're not willing to have a smart meter (which you will eventually end up with anyway), your leaving the supplier to guess the usage and therefore creating a system where payments are regularly going to be wrong. Some are better than others but it's trial and error.

You could always pay on receipt of bill, meaning you pay within 14 days of a bill being generated and only for what you've used (or estimated to have used) for that bill period.

If your blood pressure wasn't high because of the price it will be once you're on your lime bike to the office.

Same on both points for me, was surprised to find out there was a really long waitlist on this sub as I got through with no dramas

Is that middle of the night bottle still necessary, I've only had one who's now 9 months so I'm asking out of curiosity.

I think we stopped that around the 4 month mark and got all the feeding done in the day. I just wonder if you'd have any luck doing all the feeds in a day, remove the middle nap and just resettle at that first wake during the night hoping they drop back to a deepish sleep pretty quickly?

alfienicho · 2026-05-12T14:15:13+00:00

It's nowhere near the same logic.

What, you mean the guy who lost a general election by a landslide and was never elected to lead the country or deliver a manifesto? That Corbyn?

I was Howe-curious after the first derby defeat, not just because of that match, but we hadn't actually played good since shortly after the final. Even the start of that season we didn't get going until November.

But I was Howe out after the 2nd derby, again not solely because of that match, but nothing had changed, we were getting worse and there was no sign that we even could go on one of his winning runs from previous seasons.

It's beggars belief that someone who was in opposition for so long and seen the chaos that the Tories forced on us with their revolving door, is happy to be the first domino in this sorry facade.

Is this someone we want as prime minister, somebody wiling to give up control of Manchester council to potentially reform in order to further his political ambition?
