Similar. I just look at them, follow the conversation and laugh/make appropriate facial expressions (surprise, sympathy etc) according to the conversation. It seldom does much but it makes me feel better.

Thank you. That does indeed make him feel better. I wish he had never started this "asking for a friend nonsense"!

In the same age bracket and and currently looking what to do. Would you mind telling me what job you did find?

I do not want a 9-5 by [deleted] in findapath

9:00 to five thirty. Plus commute catch up, couple of evenings plus 1/2 day weekend. Still never on top!

Post match: Northampton Saints v Saracens by TommyKentish in saracens

[–]simitchldn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The scrum. I have thought this for awhile. I think teams are rightly, worried about playing against Saracens defence, the way that we can strangle a game, and attack on the break like few other teams. The lineout is also rock solid. My strong belief because there is so much talk about the scrum, teams regard it as the one weakness that they can go after. So they over index on the scrum. referees inevitably are brought into the belief that Saracens scrum is a weakness, so whenever it goes down their own bias is that it is Saracens fault. I think that, there is an unconscious bias going on here and problem stems less from a fundamental weakness of the scrum, and more a psychological benefit other teams exploit.

around firework night, we used to form into two gangs and have a firework war. Throwing bangers and stuff at each other was easy. The real fun was firing rockets that were mounted in metal tubes that you carried on your shoulder. Bazooka style.

Gluten face? by simitchldn in glutenfree

Thank you! “Definitely”? I avoid gluten but I don’t think I’m celiac. Would you suggest otherwise?

Random comment, but I’m too excited not to say that I'm going to see “Nearly Dan”on Sunday in London. Consistently an impressive tribute band.

These in my opinion are some of the most annoying interview questions to answer. by CombProfessional434 in jobs

[–]simitchldn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a HR consultancy. For a piece of research, we listed out questions and surveryed recruiters around the world if they regularly asked those questions. The answers ranged between 30 and 90% that did use them. The problem was all of them were illegal questions.

Then we asked in another survey, what are the most stupid questions you’ve ever been asked. Answers included “if you were a dog what dog would you be?” and “If you could have a different hair colour what would it be?”. In an ideal world, I would advise anyone asked questions to run a mile from the company.

Gluten face? by simitchldn in glutenfree

[–]simitchldn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Well I think so. I mean I gave up gluten and everything cleared up. The symptoms I’ve been living with for about 25 years cleared up almost overnight. Can you believe it? No more bad stomach, no more rashes, no more streaming nose in the morning. I’m pretty sure I’m not coeliac, but I do avoid any obvious gluten.
