  • I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

    He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

    This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

    Noped right out of there and bought German.






  • That makes so much sense.

    My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.

    After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.

    My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you’re in the office, others are out so you’re still not forming relationships.

    It would have worked better if it was an “everybody works from home Monday and Friday” but that removes all the flex…

    Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I’m significantly happier.

    My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.

    Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn’t accept it.

    I can’t even spend Scottish notes in England when it’s all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.

    This is innovation, and problem solving the small stuff is a very important skill in the modern day work environment.

    Do I wasn’t to hand calculate an entire statistical analysis, no. I use excell.

    It doesn’t make the work any more or less valid. If you can Google something in under a minute, don’t bother spending a tonne of time trying to remember it.
