  1. Dunno what you're all moaning about Wordle 293 2/6
  2. Yep, the outfield play is great to watch, the goalkeeping is dreadful
  3. Not that long relatively speaking. It's one of the younger UK dialects. Scouse is an amalgamation of Irish / Welsh / Lancashire accents and the Irish and Welsh only started arriving in Liverpool in numbers in the late 19th century. Now given that it would take a good couple of generations for the accent to start developing, it can only really be just over 100 years old. It is also an accent that is constantly developing and there are a number of dominant strains. But all those people from the 60s that became famous don't speak anything like the current population. The Birmingham / West Midlands accents on the other hand are probably the oldest as they are said to much closer to the English spoken in Shakespearian times and earlier than any of the others and they don't change anywhere near as much
  4. Given the standard of goalkeeping in the womens game she needs to score 250 to equal Rooney The womens game has come on leaps and bounds for the outfield ten but they still stick their mate that can’t play at all between the sticks so they get a game
  5. It didn't really, it just relocated up the road to Formby
  6. I would have thought it would be Levi's profile page
  7. They'd have to be dumb and (relatively) poor too Demonic Raab it is then
  8. Doesn't factor in all the Booths Stores Oop North, which is a Northern only chain and pretty much hits exactly the same market points as Waitrose
  9. No The misunderstanding here is that this is bank work You have to join the bank and you get offers of other work outside your hours, possibly in other departments and offices. No one forces you to do it, and you apply for the bank shift and get paid the rate advertised for that role on that day This is not the same as being asked to do overtime in your own role, it is entirely different and no one is obliged to join the bank. Some people only work on the bank, picking and choosing roles as they see fit as long as they are qualified for that role obviously
  10. I'll wager the results would actually be worse
  11. Just an example of how management works in an NHS trust There's an admin management role on band 4, the person in this role is an absolutely incompetent malcontent who gets all the staffs backs up, causing them to go off sick or put complaints in etc Does NHS Trust deal with the problem and get rid of the member of staff down the disciplinary route? No. NHS Trust Management decide the best way to approach this is to remove the people that complained about the Band 4 manager and make them responsible to a new Band 5 manager, which is a new role they are creating and the band 5 manager will also be responsible for the band 4 manager. All the staff that didn't make a complaint report to the band 4 manger as before. Even though those staff aren't strictly part of the band 4 bully's role, that person still has a say and still makes peoples life as difficult as possible Here's the kicker. The band 4 manager was employed in a completely flawed recruitment process, this process is exactly the same when they employ the band 5 manager and the band 5 manager turns out to be lazy and useless. You now have a lazy get who can't be arsed managing the bully. The good staff have already left at this point. The flawed recruitment process continues and more useless staff are employed to be bullied Trust management are happy because complaints have reduced.
  12. Not entirely true either. The staff that look after the Chernobyl Site live there in big apartment blocks, which were all looted
  13. The Tories appear to blaming Labour, they really should look closer to home
  14. Someone really is trying to get Sunak's popularity in the drain right now. First we had a few titbits about partygate, then it was his wife having shares in Infosys which was still dealing with RUssia Yesterday it was the wife's Non-Dom Status Today we have the double whammy of Sunak being declared a Permanent Resident of the USA whilst Chancellor AND the Family Firm of Sunak's (Non-Dom status) wife were awarded £50mil of Government contracts It's an amusing thing to behold
  15. Or were they calling Russias bluff? It’s certainly the way it seemed to me. They knew Russia wasn’t seriously negotiating. And that was last week. A lot has been revealed since then that just might have changed minds and resolve both in Ukraine and from its supporting countries
  16. It’ll always be the first album that I play the most
  17. All I hear is Love Me Do, every song We all live in a yellow love me do I am the love me do Let it love me do Love Me Doshun #9
  18. Waters hasn't been in Pink Floyd for a long time and he's a grade A word removed these days. EDIT: If you read that Guardian article I linked to, it'll give you a good impression as to why he wasn't even asked
  19. I think you have them confused with some other band whose name begins with Bea...
  20. WB Levi! The issue isn't with gravy and chips, this is normal behaviour, the deviants are the ones that have gravy with battered fish Wrong on all the levels of civility that exist
