Renton 17926 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Aye. Early days. Sometimes vacancies are advertised as external but they've already got someone in mind so it doesn't really matter how you've performed. Getting an interview is a good sign. Also it's really not a great time of year for this, things will probably pick up in the New year. Good luck and try not to let it get you down (easier said than done I know). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17926 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I had an interview for my dream job a couple of years ago as it happens. Interview was going brilliantly, proper rapport for 45 minutes, then I got a final question on the one part of the job I'd neglected to think about and I was fucked. They tried for 15 minutes to coax me into giving the right answer and getting me over the line but I just couldn't work out what they needed to hear. Didn't get the job, then cos of personal reasons I didn't get any feedback. Still bugs me what the answer to that question was. WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY SIMPLE QUESTION!!??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35104 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 What was the question, I'll tell you what the answer was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27312 Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 To be fair, in one of the interviews I felt I did really well in I did an impression of my ex-German gaffer so maybe that didn't help? Also the lad was probably feeling like a gooseberry as his female colleague was flirting outrageously with me. When she asked what my greatest strength was I asked the lad to leave the room so I could show her. (Some of the above is true and some of us false). 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohhh_yeah 2795 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Had something surreal happen earlier this morning. Two lads I know have been commissioned to do a two murals. One of them was up on the lift with a small space heater to keep his spray cans and himself warm. All of sudden one of the cans burst into flames and exploded. Followed by the rest of them. Granted he was shaken and is now taking the rest of the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16902 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I sold some old cycle gear on the clubs FB group the other week. Someone wanted to pay cash. No problems. I got the cash and since then it's been on the side. I cannot remember when I paid cash for something. Anyways, last week went for a bite to eat after work with Mrs Wilson, errr I mean my Mrs. I thought I could use the cash, no card only. No problem. Last night I was on FB looking at the club group and whilst browsing I saw a pop up for Yorkshire Post and how Greggs is helping keep a cash society. I read the comments, fuck me. People are convinced that the government want to use Cards to control us just like in China. What a fucked up bunch of fucking loons. Yet these cunts are allowed to vote! Have kids etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14117 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 The cashless society tinfoil hat brigade are very real, yes. Mind you, if Parky was still around/alive, I'm sure he'd be one of them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38982 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Mrs. F. just came in to the kitchen where I’m cooking a late curry. “ Have you seen what came today?” , she says , holding a Dart Crossing pelanty charge notice. From when we came home from Bruges in August. Proceeds to regale me with the appalling standard of customer service when she rang to query it, yadda yadda. “What are you smiling at?”says La Fist? “ I distinctly remember me saying to you, as we came over the bridge, ‘pay that now pet, or we’ll just forget and get a shitty charge later’ and you taking out your phone, fannying on with it for a minute or two, and then saying “Done” Mrs.F, indignant … Me, laughing my keks off… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6010 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 We've got our mortgage split evenly across 2 loans, each with different fixed rate ending dates. One of the fixed rates ends in May. Anyone know how I work out the LTV when I'm only renewing half of the mortgage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of another way you would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17926 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Welcome to a world of pain anyway. Mine is half tracker, half fixed (for 2 more years I think). 14 successive rises on the former, about 500 quid per month I think in total. 6k a year ffs.on top of energy and food. Got credit card debts as well, honestly never felt poorer*. * Realise these are first world problems for me, there are the nice things I can cut out or reduce. A lot of people with mortgages are going to be fucked rhough when they negotiate their next deal. Thanks Liz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16902 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Our lass watched Kylie last night. Basically it was Kylie (shes got some right thighs on her now) with a bunch of celebrities who've no doubt paid fuck all singing and bum slapping each other.
