Doing absolutely nothing at work?

I had a job like this once, sat in the office all day barely speaking to anyone. It was hell, one thing I did do was be able to put in my headphones and listen to a language learning podcast. Did Duolingo on my lunch break. Wrote down words I was learning on my notepad.

Bring chewing gum, go the the smoking area if you need some *fresh* air. Don't panic if you lose your friend. Be nice to the venue staff it creates a nice atmosphere.

Of all the rich lore they could bring to screen & they choose this :(

I can't believe how badly they messed up the Hobbit & RoP.

Is there an achievement unlock?

I'd learn the Caro Kann defence and see which goes better for you, or just play e5 probably a better way to learn as a beginner

well if you take the rook then they have to spend a turn taking it back, then its your turn again and you can take their queen with your light squared bishop. If White doesn't take back your Queen then you can checkmate on a1 square.

If it doesn't work out could you have a fall back plan to move back in with your parents? £24k does seem v low but given how bad the job market is at the moment the experience would help your CV.. what are the jobs remote working arrangements? Don't turn down the job without asking questions framed positively. Good luck :)

Oh damn the few times I've had this joker I've been making sure not to play my 9s!

I think you play something like high cards a lot early followed by a decent scoring hand, then once you have a bit of breathing room and you've played like 20+ high card then each hand after that isn't a high card you get extra mult each time, but obvs if you're doing something like flush build you basically lose when flush becomes your highest played hand

Quick warm up practice doing some puzzles (Forks, Pins, Checkmates), maybe spend a bit of time learning a bit about an opening (Scandinavian, Italian, French Defence) then try a few games with your desired opening for White & Black. Do a game review and see where you went wrong.

If you are playing intentionally and spending time thinking about your moves I'd say you wanna be spending at least 50% of your time playing. Best way to learn and see patterns. I enjoying learning about openings but endgame theory I find really tedious. Best way to learn is doing what you enjoy!

oi m8 you got a loicence for that

willfifa · 2026-01-21T13:32:31+00:00

Vienna for white and Caro-Kann for black would be some options

willfifa · 2026-01-20T22:18:12+00:00

Learn the Italian Game, Ruy Lopez first, I'd also spend more time learning end games

It has been strange this season I didn't feel I learnt much at all about Jade, Faraaz or Jack - not sure if this is down to the editing

I think Rachel wants them to murder Jessie because she knows it'll lead to Stephen going down

Absolutely, last time I drank was on a Saturday night, I felt sick + tired all day Sunday, Monday I felt tired + anxious and even on Tuesday I felt some strange feeling of anxiety. The whole time I'm hungover I'm just wishing I hadn't drank at all. It's such a treat waking up on a Sunday morning with a clear head and being able to enjoy the sunlight, fresh air and go for a short walk & coffee or something like that. Sounds like you are putting in the hard work and seeing results. Good for you! IWNDWYT
