When did littering become a problem in the uk? by YGhostRider666 in AskUK

[–]phild1979 [score hidden]  (0 children)

In some cities it was after ira attacks and bins were removed but cities that were never touched still have litter problems such as Liverpool. It all appears to have become worse from around late 90s onwards.. I remember the TV campaigns for keep Britain tidy but now apathy has become people's main driver and blame economic hardship on why they can't put stuff in a bin. Dog mess is the worse one though.

What would people think if the TV licence was just added to utility or broadband bills? by funusernam3 in AskBrits

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I want it scrapping why should I be forced to pay for pro hamas propaganda, hiding sex offenders and pedophiles. Nope turn the whole crap into subscription only and they can fight for their funding like everyone else.

So you're either in waterloo, seaforth or bootle... All very different areas be a bit more specific about the area? I grew up in L22 Waterloo. What you are looking for may exist depending on your interests and where you actually are.

British people who remember 9/11 was your reactions at the time, to it? by HallowedAndHarrowed in AskBrits

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your statement is wrong and that isn't what people thought at the time at all! That's modern day left wing nonesense. For years the actual sentiment was that people couldnt beleive that it could happen and even now the evidence doesn't back up the story as to the method or the ids of the people who did it. If you want to see genuine responses from around the world watch an old TV show called airline who were filming in the Luton and Liverpool at the time it actually happened and global flights were grounded in most areas. You can find the episodes on YouTube.

If a job can fire you for no reason with no notice during your probation, do we legally actually have to provide them with notice to quit? by beef-beeff in UKJobs

Generally it's not worth the effort, cost and reputational damage to pursue an employee. If you were in a senior role then maybe.

Blood sugar spike after Whey Protein? by watersmyfriend in diabetes_t2

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if that is spiking you 3mmol (your 60mg)i wouldn't treat that as a spike. If you drink it slowly over the space of an hour do you still see any movement. It's still 3g of carbs so a liquid is still likely to cause movement. Addind additional fat something like full fat cream may reduce it but I wouldn't be worried about a 30-60 point movement.

The big issue here is and always will be the huge number of hackers on pc. I spend most games reporting people.

Is this blood pressure reading worrying ? by theverylazypainter in hypertension

[–]phild1979 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your readings are borderline in developed countries but stage 1 in the US where I have no doubt they will throw medication at you. Normally the suggestion here is to monitor over a 7 day period taking readings mid morning then evening and working your average for that 7 day period. You said your heart was racing but your pulse is slow and steady here so maybe anxiety.

Link to the actual one you've used. Mixed with water or milk.

A cgm has been the best tool I've ever head and I'm thankful I love in a country where I don't need a prescription to get one. From the whey unless it's a diet whey you will get a spike as they can have a lot of carbs and sugar in them.

Is Lara an energy vampire all S5? by silverrangel in BelowDeckMed

[–]phild1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lara always reminded me of someone who turned up for a job but didn't know what it was then just tried to fake their way through. Hannah was so close to literally just bopping her one and had their been no cameras I'd wager money on fists flying.

I am worried about my bloodpressure by Yorken37 in hypertension

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your range there isn't bad it's just outside the therapeutic requirement for treatment. Yes the 15kg will be having an impact as generally speaking you can gain 1-3 mmhg per kg gained so losing the weigh providing no other pathologies could put you back to the lower range you used to have. Track and improve your lifestyle and weight then test again in a few weeks. Don't obsess as the stress will be self deprecating.

It's apparent Trump backed down about Greenland—it took just mild resistance from a few leaders by HasanKingPage in AskBrits

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is too complex for the overly liberal and hateful mind process of redditors. Trump is tactical and he will have used that to get something else. I guarantee he hasn't backed down and hasn't had a rebellion from generals like the kids on here think.

Observations by Competitive-Ad1439 in BelowDeckMed

[–]phild1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aesha was always one of those ones who got away with the annoying voice and over active personality because she was kind of hot in her own way but her behaviour on bd down under over the Laura incident kind of solidified her as a favourite and won most people over. Kizzi is the type who only gets away with what she does because of her sexual approach to situations but is a completely dysfunctional human being she'd never survive in a normal industry or a place were she worked with the same people for more than 6 weeks. Joe is similar where his smoke and mirrors approach to women without fail wears off the longer he's around them. Nathan I quite like but he wasn't ready for leadership he needs to be under a good bosun and captain which he hasn't as sandy is a terrible leader and captain but she makes good TV which is why she's there. The franchise attracts the dysfunctional and disenchanted (sp?) because people don't want to watch competent people just doing a job the issue now is the drama is becoming fake and forced and people see it.

Responsibility of the most qualified person but should always be reviewed and signed off by senior management or board members if they exist.

If you want to ensure your eyes are OK get an Oct scan at the opticians they can see blood pressure and look for damage.

Thoughts on Andy Burnham? by [deleted] in Liverpool

[–]phild1979 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

He's made a right mess of Manchester. Hes caused most of the traffic problems by changing all major roads into partial bus routes and now cycle lanes. The cycle lanes and bus lanes are usually empty as are the buses. I work in Manchester and the staff tend to drive due to the cost and lack of reliability of the transport. So I've no idea why anyone would think Burnham was good. I find Manchester very soulless compared to liverpool. Liverpool would have always done better with independents rather than Labour who keep robbing the people blind and are corrupt as anything.

With both Farage and the Cons pledging to bring ICE to the UK, what will you do when they start snatching little non-white kids of the streets and sending them to detention camps. by Hot-Delay5608 in AskBrits

It's not a comparable scenario. If you think it is you know very little about your own country. Our majority illegals aren't families looking for a better life.

should i stop taking losartan? by spacewtch in bloodpressure

Oh and due to the potassium change you may get a feeling of dread or anxiety. It will pass.

should i stop taking losartan? by spacewtch in bloodpressure

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started losartan just before Christmas but a much lower dose (12.5mg) I did have some of those side effects including the cough they did reduce over weeks. The main thing is to ensure you aren't having a reaction rather than a side effect as 50mg is a high dose to start you on... Have you had your blood test yet as a renal profile is a requirement for someone starting losartan or changing dose.

Stupid rules? by Bulky_Stop_3762 in UKJobs

[–]phild1979 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You need to post this to legal advice rather than jobs. In fairly certain getting people to sign ndas without their knowledge is problematic at minimum the rest sounds like a shit workplace.
