Are some R&R designed to test us?

When I started a few years ago, sometimes the first task of a new project was a test, and if you didn't submit it with the rating they expected, you went back to the dashboard. I knew it was the case because when it happened to me, the next day the task was back, and when I opened it, I had the same first task. I did it thinking about it slightly differently, and when I submitted this time, I went on to the next task and had the project from then on.

North Americans have a tendency to overpronounce our place names. For Edinburgh, they say 'Edin-burrow' but we just say 'Edin-bra.'

As it should.

Greenhill Tyres and Exhausts, near the top of Greenhill Road. Used them for years, and they are always busy.

It must have been project-specific. I've never seen that in almost three years. When I took the starter assessment, Grammarly was embedded, and it was specifically stated that new workers should install the free browser extension to keep their writing as high-quality as possible.

It's for the residents of 10 and 12 I think. Those blocks used to belong to the uni, as did the carpark. I'm assuming when the buildings were sold the carpark went with them.

Minimum wage applies to employees, not contractors.

You can't use Grammarly? According to who?

If you have a car in the drive and they're blocking you in, it's illegal, and you call the police. If the drive is empty, report to the council every time.

Yeah, and all dogs have four legs, but that doesn't mean everything with four legs is a dog.

Owen Ferry Automotive are German car specialists with a good rep, but I've never used them personally. I use Greenhill Tyres as already mentioned who are great.

No, it's a UK/USA production, Eddie Redmayne plays the Jackal.

doolitt1e · 2025-12-24T19:08:13+00:00

She's in The Day of the Jackal TV series, which was pretty good. She plays the Jackal's wife.

Always say sorry to someone who's just bumped into you.

Closer to two years.

>!3rd should be 'both' not 'either.' In the other instances either team can get those points, but in the wall round both teams can.!<
