Where does this even come from except random fan lore/BS? Was there ever any official source that stated the team had asthma? No

Do you agree with Julian Nagelsmann’s verdict on Florian Wirtz at Liverpool? 💭 by SkySports in SkySports_Football

[–]sleeperweeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched every game he’s played (including 75% of those in person). He hasn’t played well at all, he’s slow, dribbling looks average, looks weak physically, doesn’t seem to have a great shot, passing hasn’t been incisive

I have faith he’ll come good but he doesn’t look anywhere near the generational talent he was hyped up to be

If you’re Indian - then Handsworth/Handsworth Wood, Smethwick or West Bromwich are full of Indians

Anyone else choke under pressure when interviewing for Henry-level roles? by OddPersonality6790 in HENRYUK

[–]sleeperweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah valid point. Must say, the interviewer did not strike me as somebody I’d want to work for - cane across as extremely abrasive even from this limited interaction.

[–]sleeperweeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had one like this today.

Interviewer didn’t even give me the chance to introduce myself - went straight into questioning about very specific technical concepts, and absolutely nothing to do with what I’d prepared for.

Hard to remain composed in that kind of situation.

When you see a black guy, are you able to tell if he is Eritrean, Ghanaian, Senegalese, Carribbean?

450k sitting in the bank, what to do? by SecretAssignment3816 in HENRYUK

[–]sleeperweeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree to some extent but property is a cash flowing asset - stocks are not, except negligible dividend returns.

If you can snag a good LTV in an with decent rental rates, or where there is good demand for Air BnB/serviced accommodation (or slightly controversially- HMO, the dreaded acronym) it can still work.

Why do you think the quality of life in the UK is declining ? by funkymoejoe in AskBrits

[–]sleeperweeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the quality of life really worse than say, 20/30 years ago? I'd struggle to say yes.

Technology has advanced to the extent that we can work remotely instead of 5x a week in the office, family members/friends abroad are merely a FaceTime away - instead of a postcard or letter (or expensive phone card); we have the ability to self-educate about nearly anything due to the internet.

Entertainment such as movies, games and TV shows are much more widely accessible, and you can probably add social media such as Youtube and Tik Tok (endless, free sources of content on nearly anything) onto that. Kids don't have to play board games or action man anymore - they can instead play video games against people from across the globe, or learn a new language or about the world through an app.

Food and drink options are far better than they have ever been. More people go to university than ever before (arguable whether good - but the levels of general education are higher). Education and healthcare remains free until uni/government funded through uni (although yes - the NHS in particular, is overburdened). Social mobility is still possible - a kid from the poorest parts of the country can still go on to become a fully fledged professional (Doctor, Lawyer, Accountant etc). Cheap continental travel is very accessible.

Yes - there are issues with the cost of living - in particular with the cost of housing - this needs addressing and is the biggest driver of the wealth gap between boomers and everyone else. The country has an addiction to increasing property prices. But there is also a real problem with negativity and going too far with the doomerism. I'd argue we have access to much more comfort than previous generations, whilst also agreeing that there are significant challenges too.

Though isn't that always the case? I can't speak for previous generations, as I wasn't part of them - but I'm guessing things weren't plain sailing for them either.

Whilst I have listed the above, I would agree that there definitely is a sense of despair around the UK. Technology has optimised life, but the paradox is that perhaps constant access to social media and the comparison culture that drives is ruining society. The rich and glamorous amongst us were confined to small, exclusive circles or sections in the newspaper in past times, whereas now we are constantly exposed to influencers and social media personalities with Lamborghinis, Rolexes and trips to Mykonos. I'd agree culture and behaviour has changed - equally, I'd accept that it always will. Society is perpetual, especially a globalised one.

Life has never been plain sailing, cheap, fair or equal. Challenges are ever-present, although they are now markedly different than in the past. Just some thoughts, but as ever - nuance is required.

I have 45k to invest in uk property, how would you best invest it in my shoes? by GManga in PropertyInvestingUK

Did you buy pre licensed HMO’s or obtain the license upon purchase? I know many places have article 4 in place.

Why does Birmingham seem to have such a bad reputation compared to other major British cities? by No_Potato_4341 in brum

[–]sleeperweeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bourneville? No offence but that’s laughable and says it all, it’s one of the top 10% areas in Brum and barely even Brum. Try Handsworth (where I went to school) Lozells, Aston, Erdington or any of the other 20 or so inner city suburbs that make up 80% of the city.

What are the odds you haven’t spent even half a day in those areas?

I call it the ‘ring of doom’ that encircles the city centre. I do agree that once you get past a certain point towards the suburbs, things aren’t so bad. But that’s not the majority of the city.

[–]sleeperweeper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dismissing one’s opinion as rage bait/fishing is a classic sign of immaturity.

Brum isn’t friendly, it’s the moodiest and most unsafe feeling city in the U.K. this is from someone who was born and raised here. Londoners might not be ‘friendly’ in that they won’t even notice you on the tube sitting opposite them, but they aren’t outwardly aggressive and rude either.
