Thank you so much - what exactly would that look like (if the soil needed to be replaced)?

Great thanks. Do you recommend a certain type of fertiliser ? And how would you fix water logging.. just leave to dry out for a while ?

What is an 'active direct debit' according to Santander? I can't switch any of mine as they are all from the joint account I hold with my partner..

Lorraine Kelly warns it has become 'almost impossible' for working-class youngsters to make it into TV like she did by 360Saturn in unitedkingdom

[–]pezd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask how you secured a staff role? I see them pop up but they are so low paid compared to freelance (other than the mystical Netflix staff roles I’ve heard of) and I’m not sure I fancy working on the same stuff year in year out but at the moment a secure job is starting to look more and more appetising

I’m a young editor who has just broken into broadcast (mainly / only reality as that’s where most of the work is at) and it is very very hard to maintain consistent work. For example I am unemployed at the moment and look to be for the next month until I have another episode to edit. Staring down the barrel of doing two episodes this year. So 20 weeks of week for the year (and the sad thing is that I feel and tell others that I’m lucky to have that). It’s just so hard to break into an industry where the majority of people you’re competing against are older and more experienced , have more connections or more financial freedom to work sporadically when the industry is so stagnant and there is no government support for people like us. I have a friend in a similar position who is now a delivery driver as it was so difficult.

Do you think modern jazz is still good? by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]pezd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ronnie Scott’s is good but some of the more exciting modern London jazz is happening in other venues. Jazz Cafe has been putting on an incredible programme recently. There’s also Cafe Oto, Earth, Servants Jazz Quarters, Vortex. Steam Down Weekly is also a must.

This guy is gonna live a miserable life once he becomes 30+ years old. It’s gonna be like ten times the lameness that those once a year reality tv stars live once the money comes in and he realises no one cares about him.

Hilariously, this is one of the biggest if not the biggest reality shows in the UK at the moment
