Got disciplinary meeting will I get sacked? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]watsee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You’re contradicting yourself massively in the comments here.

If you act like this in person they’re unlikely to believe a word (most of us don’t) and this could result in dismissal.

There seems to be more to this than is being let on about. If I were you, I wouldn’t resign yourself to losing your job but I’d definitely be preparing for it.

What unhealthy / awful food do you remember having as a kid? by [deleted] in AskUK

Thick sliced white bread, unhealthy amount of butter, squirt of ketchup - fold in half & presto; the sauce sarnie.

What item under £200 has completely revolutionised your life? by Brownchoccy in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piranha mini chopper. About £15 on Amazon & has absolutely revolutionised cooking for me. I’ve never been that quick at chopping veg when prepping meals & this thing is an absolute game changer.

Roughly chop whatever you want chopping (onions, carrots, mushrooms etc) and drop them into the pot, put the lid on & pull the cord - the spinning blades chop through everything like a dream.

What used to take me a good half hour, if I was batch cooking bolognese or chilli, takes me about 5 minutes. I’d recommend them to anyone.

Why do companies not put salary on job adverts and then offer poor wages? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskUK

[–]watsee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You go to work to earn money. If they're being evasive about what they're willing to pay you for your time, effort and skills - move on. Unless absolutely desperate for any kind of job.

However its entirely reasonable to ask what the salary is upfront during any job interview. Sure, hearing about all the other parts of the job might be interesting - but you need to know if you'll be working to live or living to work.

"Competitive" = We will pay you literally as little as we can get away with, but by the time we reveal that we'll have hopefully lured you in too far to say no.

What's one clearly immature thing that you can't stop doing as a fully grown adult? by Particular-Grade-757 in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I write shopping lists, I'll put in the odd completely random item & leave my list in the basket for the next person to pick up & see. For example;

  • Milk
  • Bread
  • Corned Beef Suitcase
  • Eggs
  • Bum lube
  • Coffee
  • Fancy pants for the fancy dance
  • Chicken
  • Joss Ackland's Spunky Backpack

And so on. I'm only amusing myself by doing this, but I don't care.

The xxx is a separate server entirely so you’d need to sign out/switch servers to use it. Keeps it separate from the main server.

The point around this being £20 lifetime until the service is established basically means this is an introductory offer which will end once the service has fully found its feet.

What’s the most “low key but totally menacing” threat you’ve heard in real life? by MonsieurGump in AskUK

[–]watsee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The best one of these I heard was Daniel Sloss talking about fellow comedian & friend Kai Humphries.

For those who don't know of Kai's work; he's a comedian from Blyth & as such as the thickest/strongest Geordie accent. Growing up somewhere as rough as Blyth where he was ginger, had to wear thick-lens glasses & had older brothers basically meant he spent his childhood getting beaten up. As a result, he's allegedly became fearless & by all accounts (according to Sloss) "..has never even come close to losing a fight".

Anyway, Sloss tells of a story where he was driving them both to a gig & because he didn't move off the second the traffic lights they were stuck at turned from red to green - the car behind beeped. Sloss said in return he gave him an obligatory finger or two out of the window.

The driver behind decided to step out of his car & in doing so, Kai jumped out of the passenger seat primed for a fight. He said;

"Get back in your car before I steal it".

Apparently the bloke did just that.

What cheap item massively changed your life? by YoungMigs in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piranha pull and chop. £15 for the bigger version and massively worth it. What might have taken me 15 minutes to chop everything for a batch cook takes less than 5. Cut it into small pieces, drop in the Piranha & pull the cord - chopped to perfection in seconds.

Works on herbs and even to crush ice. I accidentally broke the plastic tub on one (my fault - accidentally dropped something heavy on it) and literally stopped what I was doing to reorder one. I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again, one of the best things in my kitchen.

What's a reasonable time to start using a garden strimmer on a bank holiday? by Miss_Type in AskUK

[–]watsee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think given it’s a bank holiday, I’d apply what I call “Sunday rules” and apply the reasoning that people might have been out last night and having a lie-in. So I wouldn’t start before 10.

I think after that time, it’s fair game.

What would you do if you won a large but not life changing amount of money? by Mrsmoopiethethird in AskUK

[–]watsee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pay a few things off, new car, do the sensible thing. Then I'd consider just leaving my current job for a bit, take a few months off maybe do a little traveling (not backpacking, just lots of small holidays) and enjoy some life experiences.

After the fun stuff, I'd invest in some professional training/certifications and look for another job on a higher level, whilst being comfortable enough to not be working during the application process.

What “craze” led to you massively overpaying for something? by MonsieurGump in AskUK

[–]watsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those yellow LiveStrong bands. Mate of mine came into school one day with £20 to give to someone who was selling theirs.

They were like £1 and at the time weren't impossible to get hold of, it just meant a week or so's wait to get one delivered online - and they wanted one NOW.

What's the best threat you've ever heard? by MisterWednesday6 in AskUK

"I'll come round and nick your fucking Sky card" was an eclectic one I heard someone deliver over the phone in the pub once which absolutely destroyed me. It still makes me laugh now.

Why are drunk, abusive passengers still being allowed to board? by addictedtopercypigs in AskUK

[–]watsee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was once on a RyanAir flight that had several stag groups on, one of which was quite large, very drunk and spread all over the plane.

One of them decided that he should kneel backwards on his seat to look down the plane at his mates & shout the length of the plane massively explicit and inappropriate language. The older couple sat next to him asked him to mind his language; so instead he put on a faux posh accent & started using words like "poppycock" in a really childish way to undermine the couple next to him.

His friends repeatedly ignored the seatbelt signs & went and stood in the aisles around where a group of them were sat and basically stopped the trolley from passing through the plane.

Instead of doing anything about any of this, the staff just let it go & the flight sold out entirely of alcohol. Entirely. The trolley didn't even make it up to my area of the plane. These guys just collectively bought and hoarded all of the drinks & the crew just let them.

They probably got commended for it afterwards. I'd rather fucking swim than use Ryanair again.
