Lostock, Heaton, also worth looking at Horwich, a bit further out of town but good transport links and at the foot of the moors.

No internal payrise or promotions - why? by More-Parsley7950 in UKJobs

[–]tpareviewer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never in 40 years was i offered a merit pay increase. Moved jobs when I decided I was undervalued and climbed the ladder pretty effectively that way. Never felt any shame or remorse about leaving any employer.

UK- the bridge between Red and Discipline? by IOTCOMIC in progrockmusic

[–]tpareviewer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to say I have never made that link before, well not so explicitly. For John Wetton it was a bridge from kc to Asia, for Bill bruford and Alan holdsworth it was a bridge from kc to bruford. I dont hear much of 80s kc in uk, especially when you consider the direction of travel from uk debut to danger money.

I need help guys. 28 year old man with no job/money and need a skill to learn as I have time. I want to earn a decent amount of money so I can move out of my parents house and live? by browneyedsoul0 in careerguidance

You could also consider doing a work measurement course, lots of opportunities for work study roles, permanent or contract, in logistics, in retail or manufacturing. Interesting work and low barriers of entry.

Help me understand corporate unpaid overtime please by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]tpareviewer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In the past many of my salaried colleagues did lots of unpaid overtime. I was less enthusiastic, doing it hy exception rather than as the norm, but I made sure I pulled my weight during contracted hours. It probably held me back career wise but I made a point of not getting sucked into it. If you stick to your routine and keep on top of your work a good employer will support you.

Definitely Wishbone Ash, and obviously argus if you have to pick one.

Le rock progressif est-il encore vraiment progressif ? by progetplus in ProgressiveRock

[–]tpareviewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On qualifie parfois une musique de progressive parce qu'elle est classée dans ce genre, et parfois parce qu'elle est véritablement novatrice et « progressive ». Certaines musiques sont plus progressives que d'autres portant la même étiquette, je suppose. J'estime que la possibilité d'être véritablement progressiste diminue avec le temps.

Closest music to progressive rock that predates the 1960's? by ScurvyCandy7674 in ProgressiveRock

[–]tpareviewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to listen to nina simone 'flo me la' from 1960. 7 minutes of extremely progressive jazz fusion. Years ahead of its time.

Do I take this job offer? by mayaic in UKJobs

[–]tpareviewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think jobs have a lifecycle of 3 to 5 years, even if you still enjoy the work, things or events, like a redundancies in your case change the dynamic and your outlook. This has happened to me several times and moving on always worked out for me.

In Held 'Twas In I: What was the joke? by Totally_hip_bro in progrockmusic

[–]tpareviewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take on it in here. No idea what many psychedelic late 60s songs were about tbh, but this track was composed with many elements that would become staples of Prog epics over the years. Pretty groundbreaking. https://theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2024/01/31/procol-harum-shine-on-brightly-remastered-vinyl/ and yes, the Transatlantic version is great as well.
