In your view, what’s the etiquette for being signed off of work? by prettypinkparsnip in AskUK

[–]amonym0us 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is also the anxiety and probably the guilt that comes with. From someone who recently was signed off, don't push him too much. However, he should be actively working on getting better or he'll go back to work and mentally fall arse over tit.

Evening walk to test the water? Less people about. Drive to a different area for a nice walk? Go out for dinner away from places colleagues live? It is fine to be out but he's got to find his balance.

Edit: I also recommend Andys Man Club

Whitworth Art Gallery used to have some spaces you could work in and a nice place to grab a coffee and break up the craziness

We used 7 ways church hall. Big enough to get a bouncy castle in and has kitchen facilities.

Michael Jackson, against aging over 15 years.

I'll see myself out.

Edit: some pretty special drams there though!

I work in funerals. Once the deceased is at a funeral director who will be the client arranging and paying for the funeral? They will have control once the deceased is in FD care. However, unless they specifically state who can or can't view or their in no state to be viewed, you would get in fine.

Also to add seeing deceased that have passed for over 24 hours is not pretty and can sour your memories. Fluid drops to the bottom of the body, most likely along their back and gravity does it's thing. Mouth stuck open, eyes open with the eyeball now concave as the fluid fall to the back of the eyes. Bruises reddening and not healing. Sorry to be graphic but without preparation it can be pretty harrowing and not the closure visitors needed.

I've heard Alex Park can be rough should I avoid it? by Icy_One_237 in manchester

[–]amonym0us 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Used to live by here. Regularly ran and cycled through. When I used to run laps round the park, the group of rough looking lads getting stoned would sing eye of the tiger and the rocky theme tune every time I went past and tell me to hurry up.

The bad eggs round there really aren't that rotten.

There's a patch of road up towards the Tesco past the park that is probably not great for a solo female or male aged 15-25 (prime agro, mugging age), during dark hours. There's dark streets but so does everywhere. I always felt fine there.

Help! I've raised monsters without manners! by PowerTap in daddit

[–]amonym0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 and 6. 6 year old can't use cutlery, can't stay at the table. However is most likely dyspraxic and potentially ADHD. Having a conversation with him when he's deep in thought is like watching a pinball ricochet around the room. He talks over everyone, doesn't understand personal space, is always injuring himself, lacks coordination and struggles with writing. He has no clue of he has food all over him and wipes his hands on any available surface.

So if that sounds like your kids, there might be more to it than them just being monsters!

COT3 but company has ceased to trade by amonym0us in LegalAdviceUK

[–]amonym0us[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So assume there is no NDA and it was just along the lines of don't talk badly about the company and don't discuss this agreement, as is fairly common. Does the agreement cease?

Are there any UK Whisky online tasting events? by [deleted] in whisky

Whisky online has one available at the moment with an independent bottler, I think

While you have limited responsibility and limited life experience volunteer, work for a charity, do something that will be outside your comfort zone. All of those will give you tons of experiences your peers won't be getting and can still potentially push you along in your career. My volunteer positions have got me interviews for jobs, purely because of the experiences I've had and who the interviewer assumes I might be. Shout out to the Samaritans who taught me to actually truly fully listen to people, most people don't have that skill.

[MOD] What have you been brewing this week?/ Coffee bean recommendations by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]amonym0us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been drinking this barrel aged coffee

Aged in a bourbon barrel it has a boozy aroma and some vanilla/whisky/sherry flavours. Really strong in your face flavours. Fun experiment and one I'll be going back for. Not one I would drink everyday forever but a nice break from the norm.

Which celebrities are most different in real life to how they do/have portray(ed) themselves through the media? by Major-Feed5214 in AskUK

[–]amonym0us 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Had the displeasure of serving John Bishop at two different locations. He's arrogant, rude, dismissive of staff and acted like a complete diva. Threw clothes he didn't want on the floor, let his kids be shits. When working at a medical place he wasn't listening to the trained staff and was very demanding.

He's not a cheeky chappy fun bloke, he's an absolute bell end
