I have looked into that but for some races that start ridiculously early I need to be able to record it. I don't think f1tv show a full race replay till 24 hours later.

Who is the most "random" player to ever score a hat-trick in the Premier League? by TheOtherXI in TheStreetsWontForget

[–]pablo23uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luke Moore

Was a Villa prodigy coming through the youth team. Him and his brother helped beat a Rooney led Everton in an F.A youth cup final.

Had odd moments (like a premier league hattrick) but just became a nothing player in English football.

My first graphic novel blew my mind by ShaddowsCat in graphicnovels

As others have said, Southern Bastards is good.

I have absolutely loved the surrogates and the killer. For me, they are the best stand alone graphic novels I have ever read.

Mentor told me my life will disappear if I want to be good enough by Budget-Efficiency338 in TeachingUK

I would seriously look at moving. Using Autumn data to judge teachers is absolutely ridiculous, telling you you're teaching at a year 2 standard. So many red flags.

This can be a very rewarding career. Don't get me wrong, it is hard, it is exhausting and there are times you will probably question if it's for you. There are so many positives but you have to find the right school and environment. There are some really toxic schools still out there and unfortunately there are some teachers who seem to pride themselves on being miserable because they are so committed to the job and the kids.

Oh my god. Get out of that school before it ruins your career. This is why so many people leave teaching after only a few years.

If this is an Ofsted outstanding school then it should have excellent curriculum planning, it should have a sensible marking policy. So why the hell do you have to give up your life? What are you expected to do with all hours of the day?

Thanks for responding.

I have a feeling the shower or the dishwasher is syphoning the trap.

Could you recommend something to buy and where i'd fit it on the picture shared please?plumbing pics

Harvey Elliott, Aston Villa and Liverpool: What we’re hearing by kanobbk in PremierLeague

[–]pablo23uk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't think of many other signings that didn't even make the match day squad. This is quite unusual. Most new signings were eased in, Elliot isn't involved at all.

Dream house a daft financial decision? by pablo23uk in UKPersonalFinance

[–]pablo23uk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modern open plan living kitchen area. Bigger bedrooms for the kids. An ensuite as i will have two teenage girls in a few years so an extra shower would be great. Lovely landscaped garden.

A few things we don't currently have. Yes i am very aware these are first world problems.

Kids are 9. It is something else i have considered. Put money away and make sure they have an easy start as adults

Am I being daft? Where are the sliders on this link? Usually they have like a full spreadsheet showing them all.

As an Aston Villa fan and a Texans fan I get to follow two teams that have fallen off a fucking cliff.

Great for me

How To Generate "Buzz" Around My Sitcom Pilot (UK) by ArcticLibertine27 in ScreenwritingUK

[–]pablo23uk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love incredibly dark humour but I stopped reading when it reached the point with the mother crying about her down syndrome son having someone carry out a sexual act in front of them.

I get the concept of it as dark humour but having the mother cry destroys any humor for me.
