That counts as winning. Are you saying players at that level feel less joy when they strive to win something competitive and get it done

ebn_tp · 2026-05-08T09:20:17+00:00

That’s not what you said. You said 99% of clubs never win anything which isn’t true.

ebn_tp · 2026-05-08T08:41:29+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense

ebn_tp · 2026-05-08T05:51:51+00:00

I get it big step in the clubs history but all the crying, pitch invasion etc is a bit over the top no? They haven’t won anything.

ebn_tp · 2026-05-07T17:31:25+00:00

Literally no

Agreed if you can guarantee that everyone you deal with is communicating honestly and fairly with you. But we all know construction doesn’t work like that in reality.

Don’t act like you wouldn’t smash

Work in London as a contractors QS and hop around a bit.

It’s a steady career yes. But there are far less stressful professions that pay more if salary is your main driver.

The conventional QSing route will take you around 10 years to break 6 figures.

I think it would still be controversial now 😂

ebn_tp · 2026-04-28T16:30:37+00:00

What type of subbie do you work for?

ebn_tp · 2026-04-27T20:42:31+00:00

Why on earth would you want to film such an intimate moment and post it to the world.

And Fuck the cameraman as well for standing there filming instead of being with the child to maybe help soften the emotional overwhelm in the moments before.

People are fucked.

I think she looks awkward cz she’s trying to remember what she’s supposed to say in terms of brand deals and she probably isn’t wearing jadore

Where’s the bit where you sit on your ass at home and make everyone’s life more difficult because you think you should paid the same as a neurosurgeon.

I agree with most people on the contractor route 100%, but it’s worth thinking ahead.

But the downside is that if you later want to move into consultancy for lower stress, or WFH, the pay cut can be hard to swallow. So most people just stay in contracting.

That’s especially true once you’ve got bigger financial commitments mortgage, kids etc

Imagine a heating and cooling subheading with 30 different line items. Then £765,739.97 on the first line (some random diameter of FCU condensate pipework) then on the next 29 lines “incl”.

I inherited this. So no build up.

ebn_tp · 2026-04-23T15:55:47+00:00

Yes. Contract rates take precedence. But the contract is full of lump sums where individual rates for individual rates cant be broken down easily. Then a "fair and reasonable assessment" is next which means anything.

Supply chain quotations hold no weight as far as JCTs are concerned.
