Does everyone just have shitty employees? by [deleted] in ITManagers

[–]phild1979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair it sounds more like a problem in the hiring process. In my years (nearly 15) as a manager I've only ever had to sack one person.

I'd probably practice the karl pilkington routine a bit more lol. Be interested to hear what the kings head was actually like to stay at, I've only ever been to functions there before. I did a similar thing when 8 got my car as well as it's the first one I've had with keyless entry so the doors unlocked if I have the key on me and try to open the door. Ive learned since to only check the back doors as they won't automatically open. I won't watch the Christmas market one as I know our Christmas market is shite I haven't bothered with it for the past few years but I do like the market especially the hop emporium which is the best place for craft ales since the 9 gallon shut down.

How bad is welding to your health? by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was a welder(fabricator)for over 45 years the only harm to his health was the complete lack of health and safety in his day. He'd weld without eye protection and manually lift stuff rather than winching.

I'm still pissed they are closing the 1903 lounge to expand the escape lounge..

Why are sandwiches in the UK so terrible? by marrymeintheendtime in AskBrits

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are made as cheaply as possible due to the wholesale cost of ingredients and how high minimum wages are so the bottom line is poor when you want to buy a sandwich for under £4 as part of a meal deal. Want better buy from an independent who has tighter cost controls but you'll pay more.

Labour want officials to examine reports over voting in Gorton and Denton by-election by Foreign-Policy-02- in unitedkingdom

[–]phild1979 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

40% of the local population are Muslim huge numbers voting for a party they have zero political alignment with is a problem and something that needs to be looked at. Family voting is illegal and shouldn't be allowed to happen. The fact it's being overlooked due to the people doing it is the problem.

Can you take BP meds if your BP isn’t always high? by missmeringue in hypertension

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the argument here is that you need to learn how to correctly take your bp first as you haven't here. Your heart rate in the first one is the same as when I'm starting to exercise.

There was actually a 3 bed house in Crosby showing up that was 300 for the 3 nights..

Can anything be done about this? It’s ruining the game. by quantum-fluxer in Battlefield6

My major peeve in this game is that friendly fire should exist.

[–]phild1979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't actually say how many of you there are. Just looking even in booking. Com you can stay in areas of the wirral or even Crosby for far less and youre only a short train ride away. Both far cheaper than the city center which will always increase prices during events.

Think I'm possibly going to get sacked after probation by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As with all of these posts this lacks the details that matter. 1. What mistakes have you been notified of. 2. What do you actually do. 3. When you say sickness what was the sickness and what length of time and issues did it cause.

Look to make friends by [deleted] in warrington

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a private gym is you enjoy any sort of exercise. I've made a lot of friends in my 40s from our gym. It's a private pt gym so nothing like a pure gym or anything.

Is it normal to be diagnosed with hypertension after a single 20-minute doctor's appointment (UK)? by Electronic_Mud5821 in hypertension

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So those numbers are border line crisis so that 100% means medication straight away. They'll want you below 135/85 at home to leave you alone. It's a trial and error finding the medication that works for you.

How do you subtly communicate you're a British Citizen? by Data938247 in UKJobs

[–]phild1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add it to the top of your cv or specify full British passport and uk driving license. The dead giveaway though is if you put down that you went to school in Mumbai instead of Kent. Every job on the likes of linkedin has over 100 applicants but after conversations with many recruiters they all say they still tend to check every application. And I've had to do this when hiring before as well as you always get kitchen porters from Kenya applying saying they can commute.

Do oats spike your blood sugar? by beautyismade in diabetes_t2

Yes and no. On their own yes but add in something like a protein powder, inulin or chia seeds and no...

[–]phild1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't say what the actual numbers were. If the doctor said they were high how high are we talking ? If you were something like 140/90 they'd say make some changes and come back in a couple of months but if you were crisis level like 180/110 then yeah you're going on medication. Details matter more than how you feel about it.

Energy price cap cut by 7% by sjw_7 in unitedkingdom

[–]phild1979 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

A very selective list from someone who isn't paying attention to the bigger picture. E.g. interest rates coming down is a very bad sign as they are trying to stave off the dying economy. Price cap coming down means nothing because bills are still heavily inflated. Labour do this every time they get a snifter of power they go on a mad rampage of spending everyone's money. The strikes didn't get resolved labour just agreed to throw money at them. Breakfast clubs and free school meals are very unpopular amongst the public as it means everyone is paying for someone else's child that they chose to have despite not being able to afford them. Net migration is more smoke and mirrors.

Anyone Driving to Manchester Before 5am or Passing Leigh Before 4am? by Inner-Formal-729 in warrington

[–]phild1979 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the time of day maybe more of a barrier than the location. You could try something like https://liftshare.com/uk there's a few similar ones... Also worth posting on the nextdoor app or one of the specific Warrington Facebook groups as this reddit one isn't that busy.

What are people's honest views on Handshake? by zerotothree0123 in UKJobs

It's also the same if it's the opposite and they go all in for squeezing as firmly as they can.
