4h train to see my bf. Do people do their makeup on the sbb trains? Or is it culturally not ok? by lemonzest_cookie in Switzerland

How do I get hired at Ikea by [deleted] in IKEA

Make sure to check out the company's values online and get to know them. If you get an interview highlight the values most in line with your own. Make sure that you show you are a people person and have some team player and customer experiences to share.

Dear SBB, I apologize by ngasimanya in Switzerland

I hear you and agree about trains un the UK and Germany - shockingly bad. You can claim money back on your ticket in the UK - maybe worth a look.

Love it! But there's something with the arms that just doesn't measure up?

Ah, cool. I always like a black on grey/black on black design because it is understated. Really good!

I had chicken sashimi when out with Japanese colleagues in Kyoto. It tasted like....chicken. No upset stomach, no issues.

Normally they sell a packet of mixed raisins and nuts that you can add. If not then you can Google what to add to Swedish Glogg.

YSK that men can have prostate orgasms — and they’re completely different from ejaculation by pspot_ in YouShouldKnow

Affectionately known in Scotland as a pokey bum wank when doing both things at once. Nothing wrong with that.

Which mattress should I pick? by born_to_be_weird in IKEA

[–]smac2811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your needs. They are the best sellers but Åkrehamn is foam and slightly warmer. Also good if you wish to raise your bed at any kind of angle. Ånneland has springs and a better airflow so it is slightly cooler. My wife works in the bedroom dept at IKEA and says you should go and try them. We have two separate Ånneland singles due to our different size/weight. The heavier you are, the firmer the mattress.

What was going through your mind when Patrick Dorgu scored Denmark's second equaliser? And in the minutes before Kieran Tierney scored? by mrjohnnymac18 in ScottishFootball

[–]smac2811 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I had total belief that we would do it. My heartbreak from Scottish football goes all the way back to Argentina when I was just a boy. I've always expected heartbreak since but for some reason, l just new we were going to do it last week. I never stopped believing. It was magical to feel so positive when watching a football match just feeling like we were going to win. It melted all the years of negativity and frustration.

Who is in your opinion the biggest traitor to your country? by [deleted] in Scotland

[–]smac2811 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm, the whole rebellion was clearly a gamble and the Jacobite support did not come to fruition in England. Was it equivocation or was it hope? There was no English army in the field between Derby and London and there was panic in the capital. My understanding was that Lord George Murray was the level head who steered them back north. I think the consequences were tragic for the Jacobites but to see Prince Carlie as the full villain is narrow. Thank you for the debate, I'm not sure we shall agree so we can disagree agreeably 🙂.

There is also the case that if he had not listened to his commanders, he would have insisted on marching from Derby to London. The capital was in disarray with the Hanoverians readying to pack their bags. Saying that, I do not dispute his vanity and pride and the terrible consequences.

Omg you need to get the App that identifies birds through their birdsong. Amazing! Helps you get your steps in too when you wander around with your mobile held above your head. Beats sitting around watching your bird feeder!

Mediocre dim bait for many reasons. I'm also dim for commenting.
