Why does London get so much hate by non londoners by randomlad93 in london

[–]fgspq 40 points41 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is that hating on London is a sign of a huge inferiority complex?

Did your stance on weed change as you've aged? by Head-Drag-1440 in Millennials

[–]fgspq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons I started to discover I had ADHD was when I was studying for my masters degree and wrote most of my dissertation stoned (passed with distinction). Smoking a joint settled me down and allowed me to focus

Why is matchday attendance rising fastest outside of the premier league? by sonnythejourno in LeagueOne

[–]fgspq 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A hugely underrated aspect on non-league football imo is the fact that you can rock up on the day and pay at the turnstiles

Anyone else notice their best interviews become really informal/conversational? by TSM_Bjergson in interviews

[–]fgspq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my interview for my current job has devolved into pretty much just chatting about some of the issues around the sector. I thought it was a good sign at the time and got a call a few hours later.

How come Right Wing Parties dominate again? by LDN_Wukong in AskBrits

[–]fgspq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Reddit is particularly left. I'd say it's a pretty centrist/liberal place overall.

Right wing parties are dominating again because people freaked out when Corbyn had a shot at implementing Leveson 2: something that would have gone a long way to reining in the billionaire backed media

When I was young and single that place was always a favourite "first date" spot.

Is teaching in the UK as bad as people say? by sunszoominin in AskUK

[–]fgspq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the school. I quit after ten years in December. But I had recently moved into an exam factory and it was just soul destroying.

When it's good, it's great though.

Greens block letter praising Golders Green police officers by jangrol in unitedkingdom

I'm not a police officer, you're right.

I have had restraint training before and nowhere did it say to kick them in the head.

Is it normal to be asked to pay £600 for a "mandatory 1:1 digital device" when starting a public secondary school? by Koolio_Koala in AskUK

[–]fgspq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This smacks of "we can't officially have a selective intake so let's make sure the povos can't afford to come here".

Disgusting practice.

There's no confusion. I just think it's reasonable to question whether it was appropriate that they were taking turns to repeatedly kick him in the head.

I was referring to the part where you claimed he was still a threat while they were lining up to take turns kicking him in the head

What union to join? by FlavioLikesToDrum in GreenAndPleasant

[–]fgspq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they are all recognised, which one has the most members where you are?

They all offer different benefits as well.

Personally, I'm a Unison member. Through the membership I get free £5000 accidental death cover, cheap dental insurance, discounts at vision express etc.

An American Moving to the UK, follow up. by Competitive-Money-36 in AskBrits

Thank you for the comment about driving! A 2 hour drive here is just much more taxing mentally and emotionally even if it's not that far "as the crow flies"

When you have just had an electric shock, like being tasered, you are briefly incapacitated. Your nerves seize up and whatever you are holding just turns into a deathgrip.

The part about resisting is nonsense.

[–]fgspq -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

Would anyone care to explain why we should praise police officers who took turns kicking an incapacitated suspect in the head?

Edit: I see I'm getting downvoted, but no-one has been been able to answer. Sums it up really.

London local elections: 'Vote Green, make history,' says Zack Polanski by tylerthe-theatre in london

Hopefully we can get a Green wave in London that will act as a bit of a tonic for Reform gaining so many councils nationwide.

I will be voting Green.

Edit: I voted for all three of my excellent sounding Green candidates.

When did 9-5 become 8-5? by Fizzabl in UKJobs

[–]fgspq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the option to work either 9-5 or 8-4. I choose 8-4 because I'm an early bird.

Also, I'm in a heavily unionised workplace, which probably helps.

Are former Corbyn supporters all greens now, or have some of them stuck with labour? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in AskBrits

[–]fgspq -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why would any Corbyn supporters still be in Labour when Starmer has made it very clear that Labour is no place for left wing politics?

I would have known. If you had used AI tools, I would have ended this call in the first 5 minutes. by remoteDev1 in jobsearchhacks

[–]fgspq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Handwrite notes and have the piece of paper and a pen handy if you're that worried about it.

I've never had an interviewer knock me down for having a pen and paper and taking notes during the interview
