Don't know if your being serious but its plugged into the wall and I've tried an iPhone charger and samsung plus I've tried a couple of different cables.

BFTD Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 3 hours ago, DiegoDiego said: Not that I'm going to do anything about this rather than let them know I'm somewhat disgruntled, but... I've been off work with covid (no symptoms, finished isolation today) and just got my pay slip this afternoon. I'm paid hourly and on a zero hour contract. My pay for the last fortnight consists of the few hours I did isolating, some furlough money and some holiday pay. I didn't request and holiday and they didn't inform me about furlough. In fact, they haven't contacted me at all since my last shift. Finally here's my quick questions: do you have to inform employees before putting them on furlough, and can an employer just use up your holiday entitlement without you requesting holiday? I'm not actually that bothered about how things have turned out (though it does amount to about half my usual pay) but I am rather ticked off that they communicated none of this to me. At the place I work, all the peons had to use a couple of weeks' holidays during furlough. Either you were asked for permission, were flat-out told it was happening so tough shit, or didn't find out about it until your payslip arrived. Knowing the bosses, I'd imagine they got bored calling everyone and gave up after a while. I was one of the ones who was asked for permission. Ooh, special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines works fine in the house powering from the tv but I'm in england working and took it with me to watch the football on Thursday. When I switch it on it comes up with the amazon logo then just goes blank, I've changed the cable and plug. Do firesticks even work in England?? As per previous comments, it sounds like a Wi-Fi connection issue. How long have you left it at the blank screen before getting pissed off and rebooting it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I think the guy said until spectators are allowed, he wouldn't put the fixtures and changes up as it might encourage people to turn up and get clubs in trouble.Thanks for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i went ahead and placed a ridiculously expensive order with the sausage man (25 quid for 5 hot dogs, including buns and fancy German mustard). The website says to boil them, the way the yanks do (at least the ny street vendors). I usually fry them but supposedly this dries them out as they burst. I might do a par boil and then throw them in a hot pan for a minute at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Those 60p pizza bread things from the Lidl bakery bit, cos of the COVID are we now to take them up the road and finish cooking them ourselves? One I'm eating is barely past raw. Edited November 12, 2020 by Mr. Alli 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have a family member and a couple of mates who work as recruitment consultants and use agencies for staff myself. Each operate in different types of business though so who I’d recommend would likely depend on what kind of work you’re looking for staff in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be about fifteen years since I last recruited someone and the whole landscape has changed since then. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Are spiders aware that they climb their webs vertically, or in their frame of reference do they think that they're on the floor and that it's us humans that walk along the walls? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
