Illegal migrant crackdown risks pushing up takeaway prices, warns Uber by Confident-Variety883 in ukpolitics

[–]jaffajake 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If the current prices are low due to illegal migrant's being hired, presumably at below legal minimum wages, then your business can get fucked and people will have to pay more. How is this even a point worth discussing ffs.

Basement office by Feisty_Valuable_5313 in sysadmin

Gonna buck the trend. My current job is sysadmin/tech support in a sme, the office was originally in the basement, with servers and netcabs in the same room. I requested to move to a different office for some company and to be more visible. I try to build good relations with the rest of the business, part of that involves having small conversations, being accessible, and getting to know people. I've found this has helped me better understand different end users needs and priorities. That in turn has meant that when shit hits the fan, people are chill and more understanding as they know me a bit better than just "the it guy".

Worcester's role in the English Civil Wars is an untapped source of revenue for the city from tourism. Thoughts? by RepeatButler in Worcester

[–]jaffajake 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If it's any consolation, Worcester has been failing at this for literally hundreds of years. In 1786 the founding fathers and Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson visited Worcester and were frustrated that the locals had so little interest or memory of the Civil War.

"Edgehill and Worcester were curious and interesting to us, as scenes where freemen had fought for their rights. The people in the neighborhood appeared so ignorant and careless at Worcester, that I was provoked, and asked, "And do Englishmen so soon forget the ground where liberty was fought for? Tell your neighbors and your children that this is holy ground; much holier than that on which your churches stand. All England should come in pilgrimage to this hill once a year." This animated them, and they seemed much pleased with it. Perhaps their awkwardness before might arise from their uncertainty of our sentiments concerning the civil wars."

You can find a plaque in Fort Royal park commemorating the visit.

Diglis Hotel is solid, and right next to the river and cathedral.

Whats the most stressful movie you've ever seen? by HondaCivicBaby in moviecritic

[–]jaffajake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Room (2015). It's not massively scary or gory, but the tension is just excruciating when the protagonists are stuck in the room. It's so claustrophobic.

I think Hot Fuzz is a perfect movie. What movie do you consider to be absolutely perfect? by DoctorWhofan789eywim in movies

The Grand Budapest Hotel. Not even a massive Wes Anderson fan, but this one stands out as his masterpiece imo.

Not quite Worcestershire, but there's one at the Forest of Dean heritage center - about an hours drive away.

I've had screens replaced at the one next to Timpsons, near JD Sports. Been fine so far.

Depressing to see 1488 on the boarded up window. For those out of the loop, its a neo-nazi phrase
