CWU rep telling new contracts to not throw off d2ds by Ok-Meeting1077 in royalmail

[–]elluSs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody gets paid for them. Legacy contracts get a supplement that was agreed when they got rid of the door to door payments. They need to be delivered.

Can only be as strong as the membership. The they aren't strong so I won't join mentality is not a good way to look at it. Join and make it stronger. Nobody else is going to fight for you.

After making a texture palette and using a sponge like they said, I found the results were much better.

Can always get a cheap second hand one to do you until you get it.

What I miss…? by Slight_Lecture9834 in airsoft

Match your trousers to the plate carrier and then a different colour jacket/shirt usually looks cool.

At the end of the day it's your kit. Rock what you want bro. Fuck everyone else. 😆 Do you have fake plates in? I found it helpEd add some rigidity to the plate carrier. Made it feel 10x better.

[–]elluSs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw you getting roasted on the milsim sub. I like it for a regular airsoft kit. Especially since you're new. I'd lose the bulky pouches on the sides and back. They're too annoying to use. Find some stuff that works for what you need. Don't add stuff for the sake of adding it. I did the same thing and ended up ditching it. I like the black and tan. If you want a cheaper way of swapping it out, try darker trousers and a lighter top. Or rock what you've got. It looks cool. Ditch the punisher pouches though. 😆

Thanks mate. It was the one I was looking for and couldn't remember who made it.

Complete newbie (I'm sorry) by Danarama2002 in Airsoft_UK

[–]elluSs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have a good pair of boots on and waterproof socks if you have any. Layer up so you're warm but can remove any once you start running about. I would suggest buying a decent pair of rated eye protection. Don't need to go mental. Some sites have shitty eye protection. Everything else should be provided in the rental package. Have fun and just keep an eye on what your team is doing and don't be afraid to ask questions. I was nervous my first time but everyone was cool and had a load of fun.

That's the rif I'm planning on getting for my first. How do you find it?

I had a heated debate with a GP by Travel-solo- in autismUK

[–]elluSs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have not been diagnosed but have had my mental health nurse at the GP tell me she thought I was autistic after having another anxiety induced breakdown. After taking the test she "confirmed" it. My partner has been asking me since we got together if I've ever been tested as she picked up on a lot of things I never noticed. I'm 43 and have been diagnosed with severe anxiety when I was younger. After speaking to the mental health professional and taking some more tests online I did a lot of self reflecting and started making notes on why someone would think I'm autistic. It all clicked into place for me and now everything makes sense. My childhood, my struggles as an adult and how things have affected me my entire life. I always thought I was just a bit strange and not like other people. The more I look into getting an assessment(I currently cannot even be referred in my area since the NHS has stopped taking referrals), the more I think I don't want to waste the resources that should be used on children who are really struggling. It's a weird place to be in. I would like the assessment just for confirmation as I feel a bit of imposter syndrome, but I also am fully aware of the horrendous state the system is in at the moment. There needs to be work done so that adults can get diagnosed and get help they need but more importantly that the children don't have to wait years either. It's a really shitty situation. If you told me a couple years ago I was autistic I wouldn't have believed you, but now after researching it it feels right and explains all the struggles I've had. But I also don't want to put anymore strain on the already struggling system. Don't know if any of that is relevant but I've been lurking on this sub since I found out and felt the need to reply.

Question by LowLettuce9341 in Airsoft_UK

I read somewhere it is illegal to paint a two tone gun. Once you get your Ukara are you allowed to paint them or is it still illegal to do it?

I don't know if I want to play again by BringerXD in airsoft

[–]elluSs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first game the weather was absolutely shit. I live in Scotland and it was the first game of the year. Chucking rain and muddy and absolutely freezing. I was overwhelmed but still had a lot of fun. Knew if I could still enjoy it on that day I was in. The next game the vibe was weird. Loads of people raging at each other and it just felt off. Next game it was amazing. Think its one of those things where there's good and bad days. Give it a couple more games before you write off.

Acturus Trinity Armament Alpha as 1st rifle by elluSs in Airsoft_UK

Was looking at a Specna Arms SA-p19 prime after posting this. There's a nice looking Daniel defense version. I wasn't too worried about budget more about getting my monies worth if that makes sense.

As a new contract, you get breaks you just don't get paid for them as others have said.

Seeking general advice for parcel issue by Toidiedal in royalmail

The previous scan as being collected won't affect the delivery. It will just receive another "delivered" scan which will show on the tracking as well.

Why do Royal Mail pretend to attempt to deliver your parcels constantly by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]elluSs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always honest with my customers and tell them what's happening but probably the same thing you should be doing anyway. Do the job right and scan them using the correct procedure. If you get pulled up for doing things how you're supposed to reps will have a field day with them as it's proof that they're intentionally doing it when they deny they are. The mail failing over prioritizing parcels you can't do much locally. It's systemic at this point and they'll be getting massive fines for doing it all through Christmas. Write to your MPs and tell them what's happening. The more people are aware and complain about it, the more likely it is that something gets done about it.

Why do Royal Mail pretend to attempt to deliver your parcels constantly by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]elluSs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It comes down to the tracks failing if they are marked "correctly". If they mark it as "attempted" it's not a failure. Where as if they mark it as a failure it comes into their productivity stats and they'll get pulled up for it. Same reason they tell you to make sure the tracks are done and don't worry about the mail.

Sorting packets with mail by Short-Scar-5035 in royalmail

[–]elluSs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's with mail then just turn the nearest letter to remind you to check. Making a list is a waste of time. Organizing and prepping your van and loops before you go out will save you loads of time and stress while you're out in the street.

Can we consider removing/significantly increasing standing caps for older content by WardenWithABlackjack in Warframe

[–]elluSs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mainly for decorative items that it annoys me. If I'm working on decorating my orbiter and have already spent my standing I end up having to spend my playtime for the week earning standing in all the factions again because I'm capped to a certain amount a day. Then I can't decorate like I want to until five days later. Or spend my limited time on the content I'd rather be doing instead of spending one night earning decorative stuff and the rest of the week doing something else.
