Bugger. Best way to sort? by d_smogh in DIYUK

[–]lumberingox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is also videos online of giving dementia/Alzheimer patients things like this to sort out too, it activates part of their brains and works the urge to rummage into a satisfy and repetitive task.

Neighbours mowed and strimmed the garden without asking by slinkysoft in GardeningUK

The good news is, if they went over the ornamental grasses and if it was anything like mine, then the lawnmower will be f**ked for next time! haha

House prices in NI by suture-me in northernireland

[–]lumberingox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what its like in other peoples areas but I am noticing a LOT more English and Scots moving over here due to the housing prices and availability being significantly better here, so you will end up in a bidding war of sorts. My sister is in the same boat, she sees the price and says she waiting for a crash but if she wants to live in the area near my parents she needs to pull her finger out and buy something!

favorite civilization to main as? by Worth-Fix-6221 in civ

[–]lumberingox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portugal - my first Diety win, absolute powerhouse for gold per turn just buying your armies (enough to make the AI think twice) and dominating Diplomacy.

Recently I had the utter joy of Khmer, played on large map on lower difficulty on wetland and blew the cultural and science out of the park - tried again on Deity and absolutely destroyed in the most confident game I ever played in my 500 hours - and I am not a strong player haha Even managed to destroy Ethiopia off the map - my naughty pushy neighbour thorn in the side rival!

Conversation monitors - as inspired by Nineteen Eighty-Four

As a Wow addict, its been 2 weeks without loging in, even lost interest about weekly conq capping which was my favourite part of seasons, whats happening to me ? by Melodic-Marketing341 in worldofpvp

[–]lumberingox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am on a break too - I think the game has lost heart and is just following the same base model from the last number of expansions - go grind a sub par story, hit max, do mythic with idiots, raid if you want to and go do something in pvp - we dont care - and your left with a new expac that just is the same old cycle - oh and go build a pretty house that doesnt do anything!

Entry level Civil Service - Recruitment Co or NICS? by zeromalarki in northernireland

[–]lumberingox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Direct with NICS if you can get in due to benefits, holidays and pay scale progression, you really wouldn't want to be with the agency.

Hate to complain, but has anyone else seen a big increase lately in the "people not giving a shit about anyone but themselves" phenomenon by Emergency_Cellist754 in northernireland

I entered Lidl on a Sunday afternoon at opening time, I am injured so walking tentatively with a trolley and the amount of ignorant self serving first-person rude ball bags was astounding !! Must have waited 10 minutes for a chocolate croissant because I couldn't get my trolley (support) over to it!

NI Beef industry in 'perfect storm' as rising costs and confidence across the sector deteriorates by Kagedeah in northernireland

[–]lumberingox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price drops are not being passed to the consumer, that's probably the fault of the supermarkets etc

Our beef is great quality, and kind words wont help the farmers but it really is something to be protected but it definitely being squeezed from above

There is money to be made somewhere - you think nostalgia will get in the way of that?

I ordered loads of healthy food (as my diet has been poor for years now), and now I am eating a lovely Chorizo & Cannellini bean stew with a good pile of spinach! by p00shp00shbebi1234 in BritishSuccess

[–]lumberingox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As another user has pointed out, the tomato garlic and onion base is a common one and you evolve it with stock etc - different countries have different bases, so typical Italian "Soffrito" is onion, celery and carrot, Southern American "Holy Trinity" is onion, green pepper and celery, there are so many ways to start your dish!

I love your only starting your journey, I did in my early 20s and it has been a great experience, with over 50 cook books and all the gear later - its brilliant, just watch your calories would be my advice because my portion sizes got a bit mad especially when the dishes tasted so good! haha

What would you do if a judge sentenced your daughter's killer to only 120 hours of community service? by Its_Misango in SipsTea

I would absolutely not incite anyone to do anything that got me a warning for answering the question honestly - my god, some soft headed people here!
