Renton

I'll try to get time to give that a listen to later. They've done a lot under the radar in the first trimester of government but I agree with podcasters on the Newsagents and OGWN in that they are terrible at advertising it and still shit scared of the tory client media. It's time they stood up to these thundercunts and stopped worrying about them and their dwindling base. We do need better coms and some more positivity now though. Labour are here for at least 5 years, they face against lunatics in opposition, so should be a decade. That is time to turn things round but they hopefully will. Well, I must have missed Starmer and Reeves banging on about the culture war, perhaps you can enlighten me?

The Club's infested with them marra, even at the very top. KLD is probably a mag.

Like a supernova, Ronaldo burnt so bright for a short while, but quickly faded away. Like a few Brazilian players. At his peak he was the closest to unplayable I can recall.

My favourite Pink Floyd track. Us. And them.

My last word on this (sorry, it's a very funny thread), enjoyed the highlighted comment in particular.

Funnily enough, I don't even remember our 5 in a row that immediately preceded this. I never knew it was a thing until the MLFs and SMBs told me it was.

Yes, women wank mate.

First two posts man!

No doubt they'll inadvertently come up with lots of racist mysognystic patronising bile about women being stoned to death for being raped, the classy cunts.

Jesus Christ. A "winger" as well, so not even a mag wum.

From that thread. Why aye!

Imagine being at a gig in Newcastle and being so upset you felt the need to start another thread on this?

This all sounds delightfully pervy.

See, this is like CT's telly. Give it a month, you'll not notice the auto-adjusting seats and boot opening, they will be taken for granted. Until the next time you get in a normal car, and then you'll moan like fuck. Hope this helps.

No, its absolutely driven by choice. In fact, I am very likely to be promoted to a higher level here imminently, and there is a Newcastle office. But your work is half your life, there is no getting round that, so if you're unsatisfied or unhappy, its important to rectify that. I've tried over 3 years working in the commericial sector, and ateod, I can't really stomach the bullshit in the Pharma industry. There, I've said it. The ghost written manuscripts etc., lack of recognition, covering mistakes, constantly focussed on how much money we can make. It's just not me, believe it or not I want to work in public service despite less pay and worse conditions. It's not a different career ladder though (I know I said that), just a different "side" (think CPS vs. private barristers as an example). I have confidence I can achieve promotion to my present level within 2 years, and I will be adding on to my 20 years of NHS pension. Aim to retire in 10 years. 👍

Because the job is advertised as hybrid working, which is location dependent (Manchester). I don't think the NHS will pay my commute, no matter how far. Should have the option to change contract to homeworking after the probation period. Anyway, I'm willing to do it despite it also being a huge pay cut, cos I'm on the wrong career ladder at the moment. I'm also probably over qualified so will probably be refused on that basis anyway.

I miss working as part of a small physical team, but fuck me could never imagine the daily commute again. Got another job interview tomorrow which if successful will mean 2 days a week in Manchester with me having to pay travel and hotel bills out my own pocket which is of course totally shit. No doubt it will start off weekly, then fortnightly, then finally monthly, I hope. Wfh is in general a great thing I think in my industry, because the only places where there any prospects are NW or London, and I don't want to move there. There is no need to be physically in contact (although I personally prefer that on a reguylar basis).

I got 19/20 right on an online vocabulary test yesterday, which was a shame because 20/20 puts you in the top 1%. I didn't know what "obloquy" meant. Your posts should be consigned to obloquy.

Always wet and windy at the coast ya fucker.

Anybody needs cheering up Threads is on BBC4 right now.

Apart from having the most Scottish name ever, this man is spot on.

Yeah, a bit random but it reminds me of a Hogmanay night I went to Edinburgh where a gaggle of pissed up lasses from Glasgie stormed the mens toilets (cos of the queues at theirs) all pissed as anything wearing bright flamingo pink clobber. They then proceeded to somehow squat piss in the urinals, quite impressive, although caused me a few days impotence. Damn now I'm thinking about it again.

This has to be the best photograph taken re: Hurricane Milton.

Why is Borat interviewing Trump? Why are Borat's trousers so short? Why is Trump lying about being truthful? Oh hang on, I think I know the answer to that one.

£170? My niece paid 3 times that. were Cooper and Balls standing in the Swifty mosh pit?
