Erm… spreadsheets ARE taught in schools. In fact, my 12 year old is learning the same things I’m teaching adults in the workplace who weren’t taught it, but I foresee the need for work-based training mostly disappearing when current secondary-school-aged young people reach the workplace.

There is no excuse for poor Euro NCAP scores on new-to-market vehicles and yet, there are some that are still, quite frankly, death traps. Looking at you, Dacia 👀

You’re gonna be really angry when you hear that Deal or No Deal jackpot is now £100,000 instead of £250,000 as it used to be!

The council won’t care. I *genuinely* tripped up and fractured my wrist on some badly deteriorated pavement and the council rejected my claim and responsibility. A few weeks later they fixed the pavement that was apparently fine and didn’t reach the threshold for them to repair. 🙃

I love how it changes the acoustics and makes everything feel so much quieter.

In theory it’s still a phone call if it’s using SIP functionality…

I’d rather the change is the six week holiday over winter instead of summer. Summer days are long enough to do stuff after school and work. In the winter the days are short and most people are ill anyway.

I’m not sure why, I didn’t need to, but I took that test. I think I was interested. Just checking I’m still autistic?!?!?! (I’m joking, I know it’s my neurotype!)
I scored 208.
I didn’t get my diagnosis of autism until I was nearly 41!!!

Pisses me off even more when people claim they can’t stop it. They can. Apply your E/parking brake manually. It’s a fucking small button/switch not even a manual lever like it used to be. 🙄
If you can’t stick to the Highway Code, stop driving.

And you still have a parking/E brake to apply that will turn off your brake lights. My car auto applies the parking brake. I then apply it myself when I’m stopped for longer e.g. at lights, in traffic etc.
The Highway Code states this should be done. It’s easier now than old style handbrake lever!

This is quite clearly someone who does not have PCOS/hirsutism and hasn’t spent every single day - no exaggeration - of their entire life from puberty onwards removing a rogue hair or several from somewhere it most definitely shouldn’t be growing. 🙄

At this point, I don’t think I care whether it’s BST or GMT, I just want it not to change twice a year!

Because despite an extensive survey, people only discover the bodges and dangerous electrics/plumbing after they move in and realise they have to go back to a shell to rectify years of a tightwad boomer who wasn’t prepared to fix anything safely and properly 🤷♀️

I was about to agree until I got to the part where you’ve made your own life better to the HUGE detriment of your wife. I can guarantee you have no idea how much additional mental load you’ve added to her probably already high mental load and how resentful she will soon be, if she isn’t already.

I understand why some people need to use them from an accessibility perspective… but voice notes come to me to die. As do voicemails, which I’ll only deal with if I can read the transcription, both cases due to my own accessibility issues.

I deliver training online and in person. For my in person sessions I start with an icebreaker/warm up involving small LEGO sets, then tell my delegates if they learn better whilst fiddling/fidgeting, they’re welcome to use those same sets during the training!

They don’t actually want discipline. They want unquestioning compliance, no matter the cost.

Yep. I hate it. Nearly chewed through mouthguard. Often it’s bad at night that I wake with a migraine.
