Never heard of TES but this is almost every application I've done in the past 2 years. Even on indeed the "apply now" takes you to their own website which usually requires it's own login and password, asks you to upload a CV...then asks you to manually type in every single detail that is on your CV. Also, cover letters are pointless wastes of time. 14 hours ago, Wacky said: I posted about this on another thread somewhere. But people who shout your name from another room, and ignore you when you shout back “what” really rips ma knitting I do this, normally to the child though. I'm not sure why you're knitting's in danger though. Clearly the other person wants to talk to you and not have a shouted conversation through walls, so shouting your name is to get your attention and get you off your arse to go find out what they want. Though I suppose if it was urgent enough they could come talk to you. I do it to the child but there is an inherent power imbalance in my favour and I can make her do the walking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEADOWXI Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 15 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: How 'day tickets' on buses in the UK are only valid up to midnight, not 24hrs from the time of purchase, as it is in other European countries. Stagecoach day tickets in NE run from 00.00 to 04.00, 28 hours The weekly tickets run from 00.00 the day they are activated till 04.00 the morning after your 7 days are up. Some rural ones only run till 03.00, I'll assume that is when the services end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that you'd get folk like me who'd opt for the earlier bus the next morning for a 'free' ride, and private companies and their shareholders will never stand for that, but the point stands. As for the NE, don't get me started on Stagecoach bus tickets not being valid on First buses (I've not been on the latter for at least a decade). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Crossing the Tay Bridge just now and some wee girl is looking at the Tay saying "mummy, is that the ocean?! Is that the ocean?!" The mum says "yes, that's the ocean!" (in that voice that they have to do for whatever reason, in case Little Miss Thicko thinks her mum is talking to Mr Skid Row a few seats back). My mind, going mental inside screaming "it's not even the sea, never mind an ocean!" begs me not to correct this blatant mis-truth. I thankfully but grudgingly refrain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing Under 11's football. We were in a mini bus going from Alloa to Falkirk, over the Kincardine Bridge and one boy genuinely thought we had gone into England. He'd never been out of Alloa before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Driving round the Falkirk area is just about impossible now. Gas, electrics and water have dug up loads of the roads in the towns and villages. If you manage to find a section of road without roadworks on them, you have to swerve around to avoid the craters that make up 40% of the road surface. Take an example - the roundabout at the Klondyke Garden Centre, which joins the M9 and heads to Grangemouth. It underwent a huge upgrade about 2 years ago, and the surface is horrendous. Potholes have joined forces and formed a posse. I assume it's the same story elsewhere in the country but it's just really annoying the hell out of me right now that I cannot go anywhere without stopping at temporary lights or having my skeleton rattled as my car goes over what feels like railway sidings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Duck Bay Marina for a football team Christmas night out and convinced one of the boys he couldn’t cross the Erskine Bridge without a passport. It was his first time leaving Ayrshire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
