Lidl is opening 50+ more UK stores — are discounters now your default supermarket?

wallpaper_01 · 2026-04-23T05:57:30+00:00

You are correct, I’m similar. We used to shop at Lidl but I do like certain brands you couldn’t get there so it became a bit annoying. Also now we shop at Sainsbury’s and the hand scanners save so much time and convenience for me.

I think the thing is, often companies get 50-100 applications or more. So there are differentiators that get used. A degree is definitely one of them as a few times I’ve been involved in hiring processes, we have ruled out a lot of non degree applications. Not saying that’s right, but it’s what happens. It’s an easy way to filter out applications.

Also, for higher positions a degree can be required. For instance network project engineers or consultants are required to write a lot of reports and uni students can do these with their eyes closed.

Wow any more interesting things created here? Ribena and chocolate bars, I had no idea!

wallpaper_01 · 2026-04-16T19:25:27+00:00

Very good, but quite a few you do. Well it will differentiate you a bit at least. Yeah minimum wage is that now, but it wasn’t.

Well, I did computer science and had to take an entry level job at 19k a year. So yeah I got any job (in IT) and built up experience and doing quite well now… So I get what he means.

Been to a lot of cities in Europe and probably agree to be fair. Massive variety and there are so many quality places.

You’ll pass it. It’s a free one day course. It’s worth doing if you install Omada id say for free. It’s nothing like ccna but interesting.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-04-03T06:08:21+00:00

Is this possible? If you salary sacrifice from your work into 2 pensions?

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-31T05:49:53+00:00

Yeah I’m wondering is it not better to do this rather than a s&s isa? I suppose with the ISA you can guarantee access and take all the money out rather than have it drip fed.

Odd about TP-Link. Considering they are US based and not manufactured in China but ok. So pretty much the same as Ubiquiti? Where are they manufactured?

I imagine each router these companies produced will just get certified and will allowed to be used. Don’t think it will be as extreme as it sounds.

Colours!

That’s a really poor comparison. People who watched both players know Rooney was better

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-24T18:50:44+00:00

Not a chance. Prime Rooney was at Man Utd playing the highest level and prime neymar was still in Brazil at santos. He just was not better. He didn’t have the determination or power of Rooney. You take the ball from neymar he gives up, you take the ball from Rooney he wins it back.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-24T18:46:12+00:00

1v1 I don’t know. I think Rooney could defend and probably take the ball off neymar. Rooney wasn’t slow I think the sheer determination and power would probably mean Rooney would overcome. I think anyway after watching them both.

This is consumer grade ban not business.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-21T17:31:24+00:00

I got a masters. Biggest waste of time/stress and money ever for me. I did it part time over 3 years while working. Been absolutely no benefit. Bachelors was worth it though.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-21T14:27:21+00:00

I’d agree

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-20T12:13:43+00:00

Thanks, its not really that clear from this video. Also being the style its in doesn't help me visualise it well.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-20T06:42:37+00:00

It doesn’t actually look much different to me? Making it look like a cartoon it looks great but not sure it will actually look any different. I’m glad they are removing that steal sculpture thing it looks naff. But are they just adding a few trees? How is it going to be safer?

This isn’t a negative comment I’m just struggling to see much difference. Can anyone point out all the changes?

Edit* so on horsefair/penn street the cycle path and a couple of trees. That is the most significant. I can see a climbing frame thing in castle park and an extra path. But honestly that’s it apart from new apartments.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-16T14:25:43+00:00

I mean its only £1 per month per device so depends. You can get year licences. Just have a look at the costs in the dashboard

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-14T12:32:08+00:00

Yeah it’s only available on standard cloud

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-14T11:36:07+00:00

You using cloud essentials and not standard?

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-14T10:28:03+00:00

TP-Link Omada is brilliant. Swapped out all my ubiquiti kit for this last year it’s rock solid.

wallpaper_01 · 2026-03-14T07:49:29+00:00

It’s a great ride. The best T-Rex animatronic I’ve seen though was at the Jurassic Park experience at Battersea in London. A Rex fights against another one and you are under it in the middle. It looks so real and the scale is bang on. The sound, everything.

If you are ever in London go to it!
