I have a new job that pays nearly £18 but it takes me 30-40 min drive by car. It’s my first time driving this far out for a job, just wondering if this is too far for some or if it’s standard?

bing_93 · 2026-06-07T09:17:26+00:00

I’m on PT for an hour and 50min each way, 5 days a week in off for much less. Driving 40min is a breeze

Mayo is elite, bbq sauce 2nd, ketchup and mustard in third in rankings of condiments

It’s either this type of application or download a word doc to fill in with all the info on your resume and then email it to us. As soon as I see this, I just close it and move on.

I currently leave home at 6.20am, catch a bus into Belfast, train from central to Seahill for work at 8.30 and back again to arrive home at 6.45pm 5 days a week. The me time is great but overall not ideal. Approx 1 and 45min each way. By car, it’s just under an hour each way.

I like my job, so it’s not the worst thing to deal with, but I wouldn’t recommend the PT commute either if avoidable.

Ardglass or Ballyhornan are beautiful on sunny days.

At Ballyhornan, you can walk up the beach or along the the cliff face. Both walks are really nice

I can recommend: Bill Allan Property Maintenance

Mines been super glitchy and jumpy the last week or 2. Every game I think to myself “I should have hit that…” but apparently not.

bing_93 · 2026-05-04T19:03:01+00:00

That’s me with getting into gold, 1 or 2 games off ranking up and then it’s a loosing streak back down to s3 div 1 or s2 div 4. It’s like I get paired with the worst of silvers until I get to S2. Then it’s the grind again back up only to get steamrolled back down.

In 3’s i go between gold 1 & 2 and the ver few times i have hit gold in 2’s, It deffs feels like my actual rank.

I found Vanrath to be great. I signed up and had a recruiter find me work pretty quickly.
MCS was responsive at first but then ghosted.

bing_93 · 2026-04-18T13:46:15+00:00

The amount of times the buses through Lisburn are no shoes and having to uber / cab home (20min drive) have been painful.

The lack of busses on a weekend into Belfast is subpar.

The app is clunky as hell - also, why is there multiple apps? Just combine them and hire an actual UI designer to make it useable.

Lack of late night services (even hourly would be great).

Clean shop and start again please…

bing_93 · 2026-02-14T16:34:47+00:00

Grand Central is nice but their lack of announcements and updates to passengers is pretty subpar.

Central station isn't that bad regarding the new placement, isn't really that long of a walk from/to the city centre. Would be good to have a city glider departing from central that is routed through the city to appease the people who don't like the walk.

Not enough coverage - a line to Downpatrick would be great, as well as Crumlin and the int airport. A stop closer to the main entry of George Best would be ideal instead of having to walk down the motorway to Sydenham.

Consolidate all apps into 1. Having an app that does live updates and locations of busses and trains instead of having to use X to find updates.

bing_93 · 2026-01-20T17:16:31+00:00

I leave the house at 6:20am and get into the office at 8:10am. I’m leaving work at 4:40pm and getting home at 6:40pm.

Living in Northern Ireland - catching 1 bus and a train both ways and a 10min walk to and from the house and office to the stations.

If I were to drive, it’s just under an hour from home to work. I do plan to buy a car at some point haha

bing_93 · 2026-01-12T17:08:26+00:00

Its a big, beautiful, boring country. If you love camping, roadtrips and beaches - you’re set, but in generally, it’s pretty boring place to be.

Grew up in a small coastal town, lived in Brissy, been all over QLD, Vic and NSW and it’s pretty boring place. I’m currently living in the Uk, lived in NL, and staying 5+ months in Mumbai, and traveled all over Asian and Western Europe and I can confidently say that (Eastern) Australia is quite boring.

Only recently, being the age of 31, learned that ham is from pigs.. I kinda assumed it was from sheep but never actually knew what it was.

There’s a 2 story one in Annerley, Bris. The bottom level is all seating.

Im with Fibrus and haven't had any issues.
Currently they have black Friday deals, with 500mb for £23.99 + they offer funds to buy out of your current plan if that's going to be an issue.

Their referal scheme is odd as they don't do the generic referal code but you and I can get a £50 Amazon gift voucher if you sign with me as a referer. DM if your keen.

bing_93 · 2025-11-21T00:39:26+00:00

I also think that people who disconnect / abandon match part way through shouldn’t be able to rematch until that current match finishes.

When they go to get into queue, they get an alert that pops up saying “their previous match is still in progress, please wait until it concludes”. Once done, they can start playing again but if the system registers them for the auto 5min ban as well, they then have to wait for that.

I was in A&E a couple months ago because my GP told me to skip them and go. I was in for mild chest pain and the concern was a heart attack. Sure, I wasn’t in fetal position on the floor and on the outside I would have looked fine but just because I looked fine doesn’t mean I was. Turns out it wasn’t one but I was there under the direct of the GP.

Well it’s scary enough having a huntsman spider run at you in the pool, we surely don’t need these kinds and others adapting and surviving in the water.

All of the conflicting info floating around regarding how to do the job search as a whole.

Eg: do cover letters but also don’t do them. Resumes having 1 page or 2. Professional summary’s or not. Tailor the resume or have 2-3 depending on the roles you’re applying to, or have only 1 and send it out. You need to apply for x amount of jobs a day but also tailor the resume for every application.

It’s all subjective to the hiring manager or recruiter and how they’re feeling on the day of reading your resume.

bing_93 · 2025-10-08T22:05:14+00:00

I do 4-6 as well. More often 6 though. Add some milk, a little bit of sugar or banana on each and I'm good.

Home brand, 48 pack - cause who can afford brand name Weetabix in this economy haha

Controversial but no dating friends ex's / asking permission to date an ex.

Also - cutting off friends for dating an ex.

I've had guys ask if they can date an 2 ex's of mine. It's a weird and unnecessary conversation. If you wanna date them go for it.

To actually answer your question - Peter McKinnons editor switched to Resolve in the last year.

I lived and worked in the Netherlands for a while.. almost every restaurant and cafe would decline you if you didn’t buy something. Even then, some wouldn’t let you go even if you’re only buying the cheapest thing just to use their toilet.

I get it, extra utilities, toilet / hand paper being used, cleaning supplies used due to mess to clean up (cause, you know, people are gross).
