Same here in the UK with local council (government) and NHS (healthcare) jobs. The system is basically in a zombie state since Covid-19, a sizeable portion of staff either left those areas because of redundancy, overworked or stressed, died

Love Bitumen, use it for stopping rising damp in stonework, sealing cut timbers and for general proofing of stuff. Plus its cheaper than using a wood treatment and does the same job really with the benefit of being waterproof.

Would have been nice to include the forts and settlements in Scotland around the lowlands. All in all a cool idea though!

I still have an Acer Aspire One (522) that I use for VAG diagnostics, as a laptop is too cumbersome to have inside a car whilst plugged in. This little Netbook served me well for light work, travelling and light gaming surprisingly. Never a

When can I see a slump in the UK when I go to Jewsons/Travis Perkins/B&Q? I just checked the price of a sheet of OSB, or a piece of CLS and its still bloody high. I paid £18 in 2018 for a 1.2 x 2.4 18mm OSB sheet, now its £35.

In Scotland we have a bird half the size of a Turkey but twice as aggressive compared to it. It's called the Capercaillie. https://youtu.be/vjTH7ZN9DIU Really aggressive and menacing noises.

The article was well written but I think it falls victim to bubble of anecdata in the dating and social media world online. What I mean is the people online who are dating and talking about dating online are more likely to be experience the

I always fancied making an old TV or Radio dial with some preset channels that my grandmother could use to view news or see funny youtube videos, rather than use a keyboard. I might have a hack now after seeing this.
