Didn't they do Christopher Ecclestone a few years ago and decided to not show the programme as they were all working class with no massive skeletons or major tragedies etc?

Howmanheyman 32632 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) Had my bank cleared out today and was left with £14. Took a few hours to sort it and most of that was just getting through to a human to talk to. It's fucking bizarre as most of any online payments are always done with a credit card in case of shit like this and we never click on daft links and laugh at telephone scams. I was just about finishing a painting job so it I'm trying to go back and forth with the missus on the phone to these and not letting the brush dry out. Anyway, THE FUCKING CUNTS!

Someone did a scam from my credit card around Xmas. Got the money refunded and a new number, new card. The cards not been used and left in a draw. Just been scammed again (declined cos it went over my credit limit). No idea how this could have happened. Thing is mum has money in all sorts of places.and probably would never realise if she was scammed, it's canny worrying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I’m going to be doing something…probably an access to higher education thing…might do A level Maths & the engineering access course because I passed the adult version of GCSE maths earlier this year, which may not sound like much but I could barely count at school so I will admit to being chufffed as fuck with it I fancy doing English too (A at O Grade, O level in England ) but I think it would be too much with a full time job…Love history, just about everything I read is about someone dead and I do realise I bang on about it a lot on here, but I think it would bore me if I had to do some subject or period I had no real interest in…. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself a metal detector and go and dig some history up. Loads of it buried down your way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much like posts about history. I'd recommend continued education outside of a job as long as its something you're passionate about, so its a pleasure and not a chore. I loved my distance learning MSc. Was talking to my cousin yesterday, who is planning on doing an OU degree in a subject he likes and plus could be a gateway for a good job. Because he's in Scotland, and on relatively low pay, he might get it for free. That's a no brainer. Fees would apply here though so not so clear cut maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can target particular aspects of history fairly well if you approach it at a high enough level so maybe save it for later when you can be more selective? I did Chinese history as part of my degree and I found it fascinating because I genuinely knew nothing about it - but otherwise, when you're covering familiar territory, it can be a bit dry. Fully admire your desire here though, it's making me think I should be more proactive about my ongoing education myself. Good luck with whatever you take forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41931 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 There’s open access to a lot of university coursework, mainly US ones, which might be something both @PaddockLadand @Howmanheyman might find useful? With a bit of digging you could find something to scratch the learning itch without shagging the wallet. I’m bang in to my history, particularly medieval and pre-medieval Britain, and love reading about new theories/discoveries If you tell me what period/topic of history you’re interested in I’ll see if I can find any links and hoy them up later. … or you could buy a bucket and spade and dig up rusty spoons 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6670 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 'No Mow May' Do any of you lot have to put up with this utter nonsense or is exclusively south of England bullshit? "lock up your lawnmowers, let the wildflowers grow & help protect the British wildlife." Otherwise known as 'create hazards at road junctions, increase the risk of lyme disease via tick bites and leave the area looking a trampy mess'. I live on the doorstep of thousands upon thousands of acres of natural British countryside where flora and fauna naturally thrive. Nothing more than a cost-cutting propaganda exercise to reduce the annual verge maintenance bill by 1/12th, meanwhile my council tax bill has increase by 5% for the second year in succession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21114 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I imagine that's fantastic for hay fever sufferers too. No, none of that bull shit here yet but I can see it catching on because of the money saving angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
