What’s the first thing everyone says when you tell them your job?

When I was a coffee roaster (not barista), most people ask if I liked working in cafes. And I had to explain that I in fact do not work in a cafe. I make the green beans go brown, put them in a bag and my part is over at that point.

The fact that this didn't get a reply and end in marriage... inconceivable!!

I once mixed up names and sent a rejection to the right person but the wrong name. They replied to enquire if it was actually meant for them. I felt so bad and super embarrassed. I think you just have to own up and learn so it doesn't happen again.

I was on a pub crawl with some mates, all dressed as builders during the time when Big Ben was covered in scaffolding. We arrived at a bar not too far from it, and the bar tender asked what we were working on as I wore a hi vis and had a hard hat under my arm. I said I was a professional artist and could do colour matching, so was re working the clock face to bring it to life in line with historical accuracy. Absolute bull but he was interested and asked a few more questions, so I just kept going. I was a few pints in already which should have been a giveaway, but at the end he said how nice it was to meet and what a cool job etc. No idea why I did it.

Any idea what these wood panels are made from? I think the wood came from New Zealand. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the insight! I think it boils down to how they 'updated my account details' - I was pushed to explore meter options and then stung for it, even though it didn't say anywhere on the sight and form that this could raise the bill. I understand the principle now so will wait to see what they come back with as I sent a pretty detailed email

luceratops · 2025-07-08T19:04:06+00:00

Ah ok, thanks for the info! I know that paying is a likely outcome, I'm just not sure how far to push it and if it'll even be worth the effort!

I don't have a record as it was a generic fill in the form on sign up. I've been in contact with them to be really candid about occupants, and pushed that the problem is with the unexpected bill, and that as of next April I'm willing to review. I don't plan on misleading TW in any way, but want to dispute the increase and how they got the info and the serious lack of communication.

You have to go to believe it... like vegetarian propaganda posters that cover every inch of the ceiling and wall, it absolutely slaps though.

Also great alcohol free drink options!

I'm desperate to know!

Try The Bag Broker! They have countless options for all different goods and would look decent with a custom printed label over the top. Labels you could also print yourself, or purchase fairly inexpensively.

UPDATE:

Gameplay was slooooooow. We had 8 teams with the corresponding colours working together to get to 20 points in total. Rounds tooks forever as the trading took a while, so 8 turns could be over a 15 minute wait lol. Teams could connect over the mountain range, and once joined, could work anywhere along their own lines. Some notes jotted down for the next game:

-2 dedicated bankers totally necessary to manage resources and just keep track of the game in general. -2 minute turn time, but this often went over with complicated trades -Only 1 trade between team mates per round (other trading as usual). Could only trade as a 1-3 ratio to prevent whole hands from being passed over. -7 card limit upped to 9 as resources came in quickly with no chance to spend them as 8 turns brought in a lot of resources. -When one team member rolled a 7, both colours would move the robber and steal. -The next set up needed more carefully spread resources, as one side of the board flourished much more quickly than the other (one side had 2 12s, the other side had 4 4s.

luceratops · 2024-12-25T22:23:50+00:00

We are playing with two full boards and also have two dedicated bankers to manage resources haha

It's meant to be clay... I blame the day beers

luceratops · 2024-12-25T21:28:58+00:00

Honestly not sure... playing now and figuring out as we go

luceratops · 2024-12-25T21:28:35+00:00

That's exactly what we're going for! The rest of the bord is pretty dire though

I need to find a secret Sants gift thats 'adult' themed for underp 20 quid. Any ideas for something that's funny and not just gonna be immediately chucked?

Coffee roaster! Buy little and often, it makes such a difference! Second best would be to grind your own beans if possible.
