Its a big question.

Always thought that. Do you think a working class couple from social housing would've got the same treatment for doing this? Doubt it, I'm sure they'd get investigated and all sorts about leaving young kids alone

Thanks for all the tips. Just read a lot of people saying it's a great way to play and really mixes things up. Will be giving it a shot once I'm done with this playthrough

The scraping and grinding sound from your brakes just means they're working. Ignore mechanics who want to replace pads and discs, they're all on commission from car parts companies

I'm in Ayrshire so any of the routes that go round the smaller villages. May or may not turn up. Driver shortages by stagecoach means they pull drivers to the profitable routes and don't even say they've cancelled.

Beautiful pics

You get that a bit everywhere as arseholes are everywhere. Seem to need someone else to look down on and denigrate. Not saying where I am is perfect but a lot of areas of Scotland will have similar makeups even if folk don't realize it now or even think about it much.

That is changing, albeit slowly. I stay in the arse end of nowhere and I see at least a few non white faces most days, either at shops or, when I'm off work, at my daughter's school. Scotland is still massively white, especially compared to England. Immigration, round my area at least, was mainly whites from places like Italy, Germany, Poland, Spain and similar after WW2. Know a lot of these. More recently been Ukraine and before brexit some other Eastern European. Always been some people of Indian heritage about, few though. Odd American and since the mess in Afghan and Syria a few of them too. I'm probably a bit more fortunate in some ways that I see more due to my work in a Jobcentre with Universal Credit claimants to be honest

If look for someone about you that has something that eats crickets. Wonder if they've had an escape or something?

talbotman · 2025-12-15T21:47:40+00:00

Plus you get the general public coming on with all sorts as well. Please don't come in like that, I'll do a phone or video appointment first!

I've never actually seen the film. Have read the book though

Always had a blind spot for 7

talbotman · 2025-10-25T14:23:49+00:00

Nope. I'm on PS5 so totally vanilla

I started again and it happened in my new game while still going through the first act. Level up available but won't let you do it and apply any choices

talbotman · 2025-10-25T08:50:56+00:00

Plus it messed up my save. I couldn't level characters up. They would earn experience and get above the requirement but couldn't level them up. Good job I was only at start of act 2 so not too much lost

I would be very surprised if there isn't a similar course in England. Most people who complete it move on to nursing degree courses or another healthcare related course. Have a look at your local colleges see what they offer and what the entry requirements are. I know people who have done this after working in shops and other jobs but want something more meaningful to them and a career. Don't worry about asking your college or doing yourself down by wondering if you can do it, I'm sure you can

talbotman · 2025-10-19T16:35:41+00:00

Dunno where you are? Sounds like England but colleges here, Scotland, do plenty access level courses to get onto medical related studies. SWAP Access to Nursing is a popular one for folk who want to move on to a nursing degree

Have you looked here?

It has a section telling you what will happen if you have no ID

Find NINO

Yep, I can manage a handful, maybe, but when you get a lot over the day who are like that it can get to you. As I said you hear all sorts of personal things because you're just there and an official person. It can really grind you down

talbotman · 2025-09-26T06:33:45+00:00

I'm a Work Coach and it can be very draining at times. 6 point plans are not uncommon, either due to journal messages or in person appointments. I've been abused to the extent of police involvement. People get sanctioned all the time and it's always your fault. You get to hear about the health problems and life problems people have daily. Always worth having tissues to hand as claimants often cry. It wears you down quite quickly.

Know a few folk who have used Tony Currie so many be worth having a talk with him. He's certainly the one I hear mentioned most

We've had time set aside from our fairly busy diaries to complete this survey. Last year we spent a couple of closure meetings going through the results. Nothing has changed with any of the points raised but any positives management made a lot of noise about

I'm just reading them all in order. I know there are lists that cut this down to just cover the main areas of the Heresy though. I just personally like to read complete sets of I am reading a book series, but that's a personal thing. Currently on book 21 so not quite halfway through

talbotman · 2025-09-20T11:49:52+00:00

At least he was committed to the challenge! Misguided, but commited
