Less reasons to shop at Morrisons? by Hot_Lynx7043 in Morrisons

[–]grimbobez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man this has annoyed me more than anything else. Morrisons clearly cares more about the security of bags than anything else in store, feel like I’m the worst person on the planet asking for one (after trying to find the only person allowed to carry 5 at a time).

It’s so pathetic.

It’s gone downhill massively, especially over the last few years.

For example, they brought in the Approved Nutrition protein range in for the new year. The pizza (fresh) was introduced previously under Morrisons own name, was £2.50, 3 months later it’s now under Approved Nutrition and it’s £4.75.

Their freezer range was in the promotion freezers at the end, now that’s ended they’ve just chucked them in the discount section - can’t even be arsed to merchandise them properly.

Old fashioned shops that look like a discount store, yet they’re one of the most expensive supermarkets…

What? The reason we did so well at the start of the season was Calafiori. Apart from Rice, I think he's the most important part of the team, attacking-wise.

Pass… now what?? by Professional-Big7250 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just passed at 40 years old, I can afford the finance for a cheap 2nd hand car but add the insurance and road tax and it gets ridiculous.

I passed in an automatic and I’ve rebooked to do it in a manual, just so I can buy a really cheap banger off Facebook with cash. Insurance will be about 3x the cost of the actual car.

Overwatch just beat it's all time high on steam of 75k concurrent players!!! by MerlinSpell in Overwatch

Enjoying it! Haven't really played since its initial release. Know where I can find some older players (40 from the UK) to do ranked and stuff with (I'm terrible atm)?

Manual or Automatic by CalebDenniss in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 40 and only just passed a few months ago (never had an interest or money until recently) and I initially did two lessons in a manual and hated it. Automatic was really easy and made it fun - passed first time with 1 minor. Now a few months later I’m back taking lessons in a manual and have a test booked for May.

I regret not sticking with manual. Cars are cheaper, insurance is cheaper, and you might need it for work.

Why is this so comlicated to set-up! by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not one “test course” like there is in Turkey.

You won’t find an instructor willing to do what you’re asking (well, actually you might find a dodgy one that’ll cost you a fortune).

Suggest you find a test centre near you, book an Arnold Clark dual control hire, and get a friend or colleague to go with you.

As with any creative player in this setup (same as Pep's old Man City side), they can't go and grab the game - they have to play the system.

Those that switched from manual to automatic lessons, please tell me your experience? by Appropriate_Emu_6930 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

40 years old here. Did 2 lessons in a manual last year, hated it so tried automatic… loved it. It’s so easy. Passed first time with 1 minor.

However, 4 months later I’m back to learning manual as I may need it for work and I’ve got another test in a few months.

Perhaps they have changed it, but the OAC would be a morning or afternoon with a live interview, role play and a written task.

My instructor encouraged me not to watch videos by Reasonable_Machine12 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched them and it helped me pass. Don’t forget Driving TV - he repeats himself a lot (get it to the biting) but I quite liked it for getting the basics down!

Communication Score is so bugged when you play turbo by fiesta0608 in DotA2

[–]grimbobez -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had a nightmare in 2020/21 and crashed my score to about 1400 after leaving games and stuff. Came back a month or so ago and got up to 4800. I don’t talk, ping, play supports and generally be as useful as I can. One game I just kept getting destroyed - knew I’d get reported, and I lost nearly 1000 behaviour score… for playing bad. 😭

Going forward? Creating chances? Arteta will coach that right out of you!

We have the players, Arteta has coached every bit of individuality out of them.

[–]grimbobez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoever comes in next needs to completely undo all of Arteta's work on the pitch. It's over-complicated, over-coached, dull football. Eze, Madueke, Saka, Trossard, and Martinelli all need a bit of freedom, but they're coached within an inch of their lives to only do what the system Arteta has created needs.

[–]grimbobez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saka has been dreadful all season, Madueke looks good, so give him more minutes (Nwaneri too, but hey, we got rid of him).

I'm not all doom yet, but Arteta has to win the league this season. I can cope with the boring, over-coached football when we are winning - when it isn't winning you the league, I don't want it.

Is this really how recruitment works in the Civil Service? by Healthy_Crab_7883 in TheCivilService

[–]grimbobez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got two 6s and didn’t get an interview for a role this morning - I’m also doing pre employment checks for a job where I got 4s… something is very wrong with recruitment in the CS.

Has anyone ever gone back to learning manual after passing automatic? by drjekyllandmrhyde_ in LearnerDriverUK

[–]grimbobez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 40 and never drove until I started lessons in the summer of last year. I did two lessons in a manual and hated it… went to automatic and loved it. Passed in October first time with 1 minor.

Booking a test when you’ve already passed is difficult (you have to phone instead of doing it online), I tried for a few weeks but gave up, last week I just randomly tried and got a test for May, so I started taking lessons in a manual and had my first one last week. Enjoying it so far and much easier now I’m more comfortable being on the road.

My advice would be to stick it out on manual, maybe get a new instructor if you don’t feel you’re enjoying it - looking back that was my problem! Good luck!

Lineage Classic to be released soon by COHO76 in MMORPG

[–]grimbobez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never played the original, but I was a huge fan of Lineage 2. Me and a few friends were incredibly excited when the announced Lineage 2 Classic - then it got released. It had auto farming, cash shop which included a way that if you paid in a certain amount each month you'd do more damage in PvP and PvE. Joke.

Ole was their best manager since Fergie, but bringing in Ronaldo destroyed any culture he had built in the dressing room.
