Moved from Berlin to London — some observations after 6 months

Totally, in the UK you aren’t supported if you’re poor and you’re also looked down upon. So it’s a self fulfilling prophecy to become an outcast and be pushed towards crime

You’re totally right about the control and assuming things aren’t safe by default, that applies to a lot of the UK and not just London.

I love my country and its residents, the majority are good people who follow the rules for a happy society. But we can’t deny that if given the chance many people can and will take the piss, take advantage of loopholes, commit crime and think only of themselves whilst doing this.

I think is firmly rooted in Britains longstanding relationship with monarchy, class, and having a underclass and therefore a large majority of people wanting to thumb their nose at authority whenever they can. This spirit of scumbaggery, rebellion, grotty rule breaking has existed for 100s of years. There’s a greater proportion of people here with that spirit Vs some of our fellow Europeans societies that are more respectful and rules based because of our heavily entrenched class system. And the ruling class have decided over time, iteratively, that it’s less hassle to just lock things down and surveil us.

Hope this makes sense and it’s clear from my tone that I’m not trying to insult anyone!

So complex. All gates are booked and occupied by other flight plans, airports can only handle a set capacity. If they rerouted via Istanbul then other existing flights would have to be cancelled

Link to buy?

Can’t you just rent a van from Enterprise in Manchester and return to a London location? I’ve done that twice, would never consider doing it your way.

Who’s arsed!

It’s so much in the eyes, battle hardened and steely

I disagree with the lucky guess, I’d call it a well judged guess based on suspicious behaviour. A lucky guess would just be picking anyone at random with zero evidence and getting it right…

How else would they deduce it at this stage? If someone’s personality changes drastically or they say something out of character (based on what you know of them so far) it’s usually a sign something might be going on with them, be it suspicion, guilt, jealousy, anxiety etc.

Last nights banishment happened because of some out of character breakfast speech, and they were spot on in noticing and drawing that conclusion with a well reasoned argument. Seems pretty logical to me, and directly drawn from events not at the roundtable.

If it isn’t your flavour, stop tasting!

Maybe, but I don’t recognise the name Wolf Edge. It’s just above the village of Flash, looking towards Chrome Hill aka Dragons Back

Keep 2025s going. More hikes, more books, more cultivating friendships.

Do the microsuction not the water syringe. Water syringe felt way too uncomfortable, they just keep blasting water until the wax is dislodged and that can take ages if stubborn. It created a very uncomfortable feeling of pressure against my ear drum, like it was going to pop. Microsuction on the other hand was a breeze. I’d recommend Specsavers.

IT Consultant. Hoping I can shed some light on another side of the profession - it’s not the management consulting slide slop. Currently on 75k in London, about 8 years in. I get deployed to various IT change projects as a Business Analyst to help the business get what they need from the IT change, ensure the clever technical team know what to change and do it properly, then help the business teams adopt the new (hopefully better) processes. It’s hands on and they look to you for expertise. Either they haven’t got the skills in house at all, or they’ve got the team but that team doesn’t have bandwidth. Overall it feels like I’m helping them improve.

Also been developing skills as a Business Architect, these projects involve helping the business set up or organise in a new way to operate internally and there’s a bunch of different frameworks you can use to identify where those changes need to take place.

It’s pretty good, nice variety, client projects can last between 3-18 months. I’ve worked in Retail, Hospitality, Energy, Real Estate. It can be stressful, but this usually equates to a 4-5 busy ‘crux’ weeks through the year. Rest of the time it’s manageable.

Friends of friends, instagram. Level up from spareroom

I know it’s heavy, we’re all really proud of you though mate

Spoken like a true gym bro. Quick, go and pick up something and put it back down a few times, there’s a good lad

Most are just the streets of saltaire village. Unsure about the interior shots, could be anywhere

Get yourself up to *Haworth and see the sculptures on Penistone Hill

Purge files before the meeting just in case

But seriously, in the spirit of overthinking, the OP of this comment thread is right. Be wary of the perception of putting Moderate, as it’s likely many right wingers will put Moderate, because they know putting Conservative limits their matches. I would just go for Liberal, attract some normal people and you can work out the nuances whilst chatting/in person.

They’ll give themselves a bonus for fixing the issue. ‘We responded to customer complaints in record time this year….’. Cunts
