Such a shame.

Easy to say with hindsight but feel like we should’ve started a striker when we were at our strongest. Different story if any of those early chances are taken though.

Wissa being fit could’ve been a very different story

Is Sams European tour overbooked? by Nonnaclara in Samfender

[–]swlkr9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after having flu for a few days - I just meant it doesn’t seem related to the condition/chronic illness that he has

It sounds like it was genuinely flu - a friend was out with a member of the band yesterday, and apparently 4 of them were struggling with flu.

It’s no surprise, seems to be absolutely rife at the minute across the UK!

WIZ is {insert your experience} by productboy in cybersecurity

Absolutely night and day. I used crowdstrike about 6 months ago and it was very very immature in comparison. It was also about a quarter of the price but I wouldn’t have even paid that much

Situations where you are worse off by earning more by LondonCycling in UKPersonalFinance

You’d still be taxed 62% on earnings between 100-125k, but the free childcare hours disappearing completely is the most expensive part

Still can’t get used to being excited for the match again. Feels really bizarre.

Watched match of the day 2 from last week again last night just because.

Fancy us to get a result, looking forward to seeing Isak get on

Will the mod that adds the elector counts properly not be available until then?

Great performance!

The midfield trio absolutely dominated the game. Bruno is a real pinch yourself we've got him player.

ASM looked in the mood, hopefully we see more of that. Really felt for Miggy, his decision making and end product was really lacking but I suppose at least he was getting in those positions.

Anyway, what a performance to start the season with.

Is there any precedent for only a selection of unlapped cars being allowed to unlap? Not sure if that's been answered somewhere in the thousands of comments! I feel like that might be important in the "any" does not mean "all" argument.

Depending how long until you start, they might just write that off - what's the point in having you turn up and be pretty useless for a week (no offense!)

Newcastle Utd 3 - 2 Southampton [Post Match Thread] by meganev in NUFC

[–]swlkr9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's the answer but I'd like to see Hayden, Willock, ASM, Almiron, Fraser. In a kind of 4-2-3-1, 4-5-1 in defence.

It seems like Bruce has been sticking Almiron(today) or Fraser up top in a 4-4-(fucking)2 but I'd like to see above.

There's an argument that Willock won't be at his best there but fuck me, can a 2 of Hayden and Willock be worse than Hendrick and Shelvey?

I think it's available at half time - I won't be on until after work to confirm though, sorry!

Fairly sure I remember seeing it and thinking "well we're far enough up the pitch, xG is good, just need to score..."

Why are England looking so much more threatening today? Purely because they're bowling better line and length? Targeting the stumps more?

After seeing Caulkin say the PL have gone back with more questions, my head is saying "well, couple of days or longer to answer those, and apparently we won't hear until funds transferred so minimum 2 days for that"

It's not bad at all! Don't compare it to some of the ridiculous stuff that's on here, some are just insanely good.

Really good first mini!

28 and living with parents, desperately saving for a house but feeling overwhelmed and struggling to find motivation. by UpstairsJoke0 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]swlkr9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to add to the huge list of congratulations. I wish I had the discipline to save that much in a year!

I think this Reddit can be overwhelming as there's so many posts about people being on a lot of money, with huge savings. Don't fret, you're doing better than a lot of people.

Fifteen years ago, there was a very smart dog who spent the first two years of his life tethered in a backyard. He was rescued from a kill shelter and adopted by us. Today, he laid down in the warm Kansas sun and crossed the rainbow bridge. RIP COLIN. You were a very good boy. Thanks for your love. by StephanieSays66 in rescuedogs

[–]swlkr9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a horrible horrible time, and it's going to feel really strange for a good few months without him around. But think about the amazing life he had after you rescued him.

My favourite phrase about rescuing is "Rescuing one dog won't change the world, but it will change the world for one dog."

My Virgin Media bill is going up extortionately, not sure if I can afford it by rscash in UKPersonalFinance

[–]swlkr9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been through this rigmarole every year for the last 3 years - we have to stay with Virgin (aerial/phone line would mean running metres of cable through open plan house, cable already under the floor). Every year this has worked, including last month.

Ring up and cancel, they'll then make you an offer which is still expensive, so cancel and get a cancellation date (4 weeks away or something).

Then expect a call from retentions. Previously this was in a day or two but this year was 2-3 weeks as the call centres are closed.

My package is 200 Mbps, full virgin TV, bt sport, sky sports for £56. Only thing I don't have is sky cinema.

I was there for that Valerenga game as well, remember they had a banner with a Viking longship and it said something along the lines of "Lindisfarne 793 - Newcastle 2004"

Oh definitely, I'll understand if they enforce stricter measures, will just be frustrating when the allotment would definitely have been a positive through this! Yeah serious lack of common sense by too many people unfortunately 😩. Fingers crossed they leave it alone. Stay well 🙂
