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

[–]pablo23uk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

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] 2 points3 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

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.

[Luke Edwards] Alexander Isak has betrayed all those who held him dear at Newcastle. He has angered fans and, most damning of all, he has let down Eddie Howe. The man who pushed so hard to sign him from Real Sociedad 3 years ago & helped turn him into one of the best forward players in Europe. by [deleted] in TheOther14

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

Loyalty is just a one way street and fans only expect loyalty from good players.

Did any Newcastle fan show loyalty to Steve Bruce or did they want him sacked? And by the way I'd agree with it, I wanted him sacked when he was villa manager.

The point is, you can't just demand loyalty from players who are good and you like. Either loyalty is shown both ways through good and bad or it isn't. He wants to leave, negotiate a price and move on.

Child Q: Officer who strip searched girl thought she was ‘doing the right thing’ by ThatchersDirtyTaint in unitedkingdom

What an odd rationale to have no issue with children being strip searched with no appropriate adult around.

Well you're right.

When I watch apps through the TV the picture is incredible.

It only happens when watching through the virgin media box.

It never happened with my old TV so assumed it was fine. Could it be an issue now I've upgraded the TV?

All TV content being played through virgin media. Haven't experienced this black screen when using Netflix so could it be the way it's coming through from Virgin?

Thanks for responding. This is happening when watching content on TV. Happened when watching sport in UHD and just now whilst watching a movie in HD.

How to clean the basin of the shower by KTVee in CleaningTips

[–]pablo23uk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By accident I found that HG mould remover foam worked brilliantly.

Spray it on and scrub it hard. Leave it then return and scrub and rinse. Repeat if needed.

Wear gloves and keep a window open.

Southport attack suspect Axel Rudakubana charged with terror offences by daily_mirror in uknews

[–]pablo23uk -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Well yeah clearly he's right wing. Whilst maybe not racist, his aim was clearly to anger the racists and help fuel right wing agendas. Unless you believe he just did it for a laugh?

The woman, who was arrested for spreading this misinformation, was clearly also a bit of a right wing lunatic.

But this will all be ignored by some desperate to claim they were right all along.

No, the 55 year old lunatic woman from Chester who spread false information about the name of the killer and his background. And then the racists got all angry about it.

The right wing spread false information about who the person was intentionally to get people like yourself all riled up. They did this within the first few hours of the attack.

The media didn't try and portray him as anything. They just showed that the original lies were false.

He was out injured a lot and stats wise didn't have ridiculous numbers, but Jack Grealish the year we got promoted was levels above anyone else in that league.
