    [Misc] Working alone in a factory.....

    Would you? I'm not just talking about being on your own in an isolated part where there are colleagues still on site. ... I'm talking about literally on your own. Everyone else has gone home, everything bar one door is locked up so I can get out and lock up. There no procedures in place other...

    [News] Census 2021

    I'm the same. Don't remember filling one out (unless the wife did it for me) and I'm 42. They're every 10 years I think. In the dark deep recesses of my brain I remember a thing going around where loads of people were quoting their religion as Jedi because if X amount of people said they were...

    [Albion] Your Albion history/memorabilia

    I've got the FA Cup final programme. And also the record that was released, unplayed, with the greaseproof paper in perfect condition and original receipt when purchased. Stored safely at my parents house... Got a signed shirt from the 2010/11 season framed on the wall. Can only make out Tommy...

    [Albion] Inevitabilities

    I tried to fit it to that as well. Are there any chants out there to that tune? I cant think of any that spring to mind. It's quick enough for us???

    [Finance] Car Buying...

    I drive a 2006 Focus ST. Or the ASBO (but in blue) as Clarkson et al named in on Top Gear all those years ago. I've done some engine work and it's pushing 310+ bhp. The clutch started slipping due to the power and torque upgrades so I put a Volvo clutch in it from the volvo equivalent car as...

    [Brighton] Ariel Pic of Brighton 1929

    I thought St Peters Church was level(ish) distance from the sea as the college so wouldn't be in shot looking south if that's the church. The view looks like it comes from further north. Unless i have my bearings a bit wrong. Been a while since I've been into town.

    [Football] Your life as a match - are you winning?!

    I'm currently being smashed all over the park. 3 sent off, 15 own goals and just had a massive kick I the nuts for good measure. Just praying for the final whistle to get it done with.

    Bell Cheeses at work

    The company I now work for are Plymouth Bretheren. Their religion states that they cannot listen to music as its classed as sinful, so all radios are banned in all 3 buildings. They've even disconnected the stereos in ALL company vehicles (including the lorry drivers) that deliver roofing...

    [Finance] What salary would this job command?

    I will have more money in my pocket. I had no commuting costs at my old job as it was so local. Then I got the job at globe energy for a massive rise and thought I'd finally made it. Then Lockdown 4 happened and I was released, the old company refused to take me back (covid, cost cutting, "you...

    [Finance] What salary would this job command?

    I have a video interview tomorrow. I'd love £46k. Would solve nearly all of my problems. That's the ballpark figure I had in my head. This is how I read it. But the salary on offer is £25‐30k DOE. I think its on the low side but from what I've researched it seems average for national...

    [Finance] What salary would this job command?

    After my cluster**** of employment for the 12 weeks I have been approached by an agency about another job. I havent been actively looking as I'm just still glad I've got a job right now but I left my profile on CVLibrary open. This role sounds right up my street and is effectively what I was...

    [Misc] Book your trip to the tip ..coming soon

    :thumbsup: It's good as all the skips are below you so throwing stuff in is easy. But its popular. And people sit in the queue until there is a parking space outside the bit they want. Rather than just park somewhere and walk to the right section.:annoyed:

    [Misc] Torn Shoulder rotary cuff

    Alcohol. The cause but Lzo the answer to Ll of life's problems. Also helps with pain relief, physicL but also mental. When it starts hurting again just drink more. I would also recommend cocaine but it's shit quality nowadays and more expensive so not really worth the bother.

    [Finance] I'm never going to buy my own house am I?

    That's the crux of it. I thought I'd made it with the last job but spectacularly failed. Now I'm in a far worse off position than I was. I'm self funded educated, and work on niche market machines. And yet here I am sitting on a ****ed sofa knowing the last thing I need is to use credit just...

    [Finance] I'm never going to buy my own house am I?

    Thanks for posting this. I was aware of this new scheme but it doesn't really help us. We are struggling with the LTV. We just can't borrow enough. The deposit is all ready to go and in theory we have a 16.5% on a £300k house. The repayments would be about £50 a month more than what I've been...

    I wish there was an escape lane. So if that queue is large you can bail out and not bother. Last time I went the queue was just around the corner behind the building so I couldn't see it. Took me half hour to get round:annoyed:

    [Albion] Solly

    Gutted for him (and us fans). He's been a shoe-in and guaranteed starter since starting as a wing back. We're gonna miss him.
