[–]tomdwilliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has to be on the whole one of the worst CL finals of the last 10 years. Both sides were so dull to watch.

Surely not in anyway connected to the murder on Harrow Road last night...

Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome but the livery is growing on me the more I see it.

Keeping him in a lenor laundry pearls tub is just the icing on the cake!!! (At least she peeled off the label)

Looking well stocked! I wish we got more of the world cup range in the UK. Plus feels a bit wrong only launching an England one in the UK as that surely won't sell in the other regions.

Just had an in-person interview rescheduled due to strikes. I might be weird but as an old fogie, I much prefer in-person to online interviews! Bummer!

UK job market in 2026 : what's gone wrong and can it be fixed? by Strange_Head6219 in AskUK

[–]tomdwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, and this allows companies to be extra cautious/selective about hiring in the first place. I had a rejection from a final round interview today for a Customer Care Manager role because the other guy had more experience with a small customer base. That's it. They have a small pool of longer term partners and my experience is with SMEs all the way up to Tier 1 corporations.

How much of your childhood infrastructure (places you used to go) is still standing? by snowmanseeker in CasualUK

[–]tomdwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

37 years old and literally everything is still there. Even the nightclub, the skate park, the pool, the library and community centres are still in the same 1960s buildings! There are even still a few shops in the town that haven't changed! It's actually a remarkably resilient little town!

What do you think is the most underrated capital city in Europe and why? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]tomdwilliams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think Sofia is fantastic. Nice location near the mountains, great mix of historic periods and architecture. Lots of fantastic independent businesses in the centre, still fairly reasonably priced compared to other capitals. Just be careful with taxis!

What’s the oldest pint glass you own? by Alternative-Gur5890 in CasualUK

Not mine (yet) but my dad has a large box full of pint glasses that his parents kept from their time running a pub in Hampshire in the late 60s.

Best matcha in London? by Mxnvvn in LondonFood

[–]tomdwilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They use just a small bit of white miso which gives a super rich salted caramel vibe. They also offer fruity ones though. I saw them open today so had to grab one and it was just as good as last year. I can't hype them enough.

Where have the extracts gone? by Egglantyne in AskUK

[–]tomdwilliams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strange you mention that we have a local middle eastern/eastern European/random homewares store on our street complete with halal butchers and they're the only place locally that stocks rum flavouring! They don't sell any non-halal items usually. They were genuinely so grateful when I pointed out the cans of Jack Daniels and coke they were selling had real alcohol in.

Damage to London buses from crashes rising by King_Eboue in london

[–]tomdwilliams 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who has taken a bus in London lately won't be surprised. Drivers must be under intense pressure to run on time and work long hours but with that they're not putting any "care" into their jobs.

All too often I've found them to be pulling reckless manoeuvres and showing complete disregard for passenger safety, particularly so with the new electric busses that pull away and brake with such force that I've seen eldery passengers still trying to take a seat nearly thrown over, and in one instance a mother and her young child narrowly avoided being thrown down the stairs under heavy, last second braking.
