The main thing I ask about on-call is what the scope is and how many people are covering it.

There’s one end where they have a kid who takes calls and literally 70% of them go to you, plus you are on call every other week because there’s only three on the rota and one guy quit/is on holiday.

And then there’s the other end where there’s multiple on call teams and your team only gets called for very specific reasons, you are one of 5-6 people on the rota, on call bonus is massive plus 1.5*wage for every call out.

The video quality problem really winds me up. Not gonna canc though because I bought through Turkey and it costs less than a dollar a month.

The BBC news at 10pm on this was hard to watch. Boats across the channel full of Sudanese men standing on each other are no place for little girls.

Weren’t Freddos 5p and now about 40p? So 8x. Not that your point isn’t still valid. Wages have maybe doubled.

How unethical do you have to be to stick a child in an Airbnb with agency staff and profit from it out of the public purse…

That is most definitely not a fun fact. It’s bad enough having the Yanks telling us how to speak our own language!

Owners of care homes in ‘current year’ are potentially the worst example of unregulated capitalism. Somehow managing to profit off of the suffering of both the workers and the residents/residents families. It’s awful and not even like it’s that easy to fix because most can’t afford the higher costs that come with ethical care homes.

Hooray!

Damnit, second time I’ve had to move now.

This already exists, it’s called Nebula

Just the first of these would be massive. If after your 9 points wear off and you are back to 0 any further offence instantly is 9 points instead of 3 for 5 years then you aren’t going to speed are you.

I lived with a lad last winter who said he never switches the heating on. I went back to pick up some stuff just after I moved out and it was 3 degrees inside the bedroom… No thanks. The government is completely failing people like him.

No way me too! I always had OPs problem until I bought it. I resent going away without it because it’s that good.

For me that sexy accent is a Scottish one and I’m not talking Glaswegian council estate

English because I can understand it

Thanks, I had real trouble getting the installer to see that I had python installed.

thanks

Wise words in the end. How they could vote for the Tories after how poorly they were treated by Boris is beyond me, but then they voted him back in so…

What tool are you using to make this?

When I lived in Sheffield there pretty much wasn’t any bike lanes except around the inner ring road. but I cycled anyway and made it work for me despite crossing the university roundabout occasionally and similar madness.

Here in Leeds the cycle infrastructure gets better every year. However because I WFH or drive in I only cycle occasionally. This makes it all the more unpleasant when I get close passed or sweaty or rained on because I’m just not used to it anymore.
