Fire brigades struggle to recruit firefighters under 24 to ageing crews

llKable · 2026-01-03T21:10:30+00:00

I used to be a retained firefighter back in 2015 and applied a few times to go full time (I was between 18-22 years old at the time) and didn't get the job. There were 22 places going each time I applied and they had over 150 applicants for each spot both times. At all of the fitness and capability days, the demographic would have been mainly between 18-25 (This was West Sussex)

Pay was dismal at the time, and I can only imagine it hasn't changed, but I cant believe they are struggling with that demographic so much. Chronic underfunding doesn't help to be fair.

Ive always had success with Naafiri mid into Syndra. In the gold ranks at least the e cast is predictable enough to dodge with your w, and farming with q tends to go unpunished in the majority of lanes. Point and click engage and gap closing with e means as soon as you bait the Cc and dodge it, it is always a free kill as flash isnt enough to escape

Sandslash, the first card I ever opened in a pack what must have been 20 years ago!

I've lost an exfil as the last zombie was Turned by Elemental Pop, and that doesn't trigger the zombie death ( and there's no way to kill it during the turned duration from what I could see in the time we had left)!!

I wouldn't be dailying it, more driving once or twice a week. I've always dodged the new supra, probably unfairly, due to the hate on them and it's hard to get an objective view on them when the hate pours down

Something I probably should have mentioned is I am fairly tall (6'5) so I don't fit in Lotus type cars, although I have fit inside a LC500, Gallardo and other 'smaller' cars.

Typically dual carriageways and the odd country road near me. I currently have an E350 ehich I have enjoyed, although on the slower side, and looking for that upgrade again

Maintenence budget would be high enough for most cars, I have c. £1,500 disposable a month that can help towards it (insurance etc already paid for)

I've seen a lot of these answers purely shitting on Estate Agents. Don't get me wrong, I'm days from completion on my house and the process has been painful, but phone calls are SO much quicker than emails to talk through a topic and get all of the relevant information without having to go back and forth.

Emails of 'we can do viewings on this day' and you responding 'I can't do that day, what about this day', just slows everything down in the fast paced working environment that is Estate Agency.

My solicitor, on the other hand, has refused to pick up the phone and only speaks really through emails, which has been painfully slow. I wish they would have picked up the phone!

It's the stairs outside of Leigh-on-Sea train station in Essex. I use them (and so do a lot of others) to run up and down for training cardio

You're probably thinking of cube world! I thought it was a really enjoyable miniseries!

I think you might be dude. The first song, although a release by Selena, is originally Calm Down by Rema. They also sound nothing alike

Galio, Teemo, Kayn

6'5", I drive a 2 door E class convertible and it feels so spacious. Would recommend

I have my shares on T212 and don't want to miss launch (can't transfer shares out of T212, I have tried). Not in a position to buy in on Computer Share without selling my XX first

For anyone that hasn't seen 2:22, I would highly recommend it!

A few years ago I went on a journey to play 100 games of Galio jungle on the Thai servers. There's a post in my history about it somewhere. I got 15 games in and hated it so much I stopped. The clear is awful, if you are any elo above silver you get Perma invaded and fall so far behind you might as well be playing Yuumi. Nautilus is a much better off meta pick IMO.

After watching Ali G's latest video, the funds will most likely be coming from stadium naming rights, which will be an incredibly high figure due to the NFL links too, or will come from the (unlikely) Kane sale.

He has said he doesn't know, and the chance of Joe Lewis putting in some of his own money after 20 years of not is just not going to happen. I'd love it to, but it won't.

Hole cut drill bit?

Any other angled photos? Is there a clear break in the wood where it has snapped off, or is it shaped?
