    Almost done with The Bear season two. What a fantastic TV show. Has it got any awards over in The States?

    Moved to a new job and it’s been great so far. The pay is quite decent and the people I work with are genuinely kind and helpful. Feels like I lucked out lol

      I’ll echo the other two posts here—you got this. Take it one day at a time and make sure to keep some time to do things you enjoy (like watching Arsenal 😄)

      I always tell my students to take it easy and focus on the positives. work smart and don’t stress yourself too much. this should be the most fun period in you whole life.

    Been trying to solo the Shattered Throne dungeon in Destiny 2 for nearly a month now and Vorgeth is just fucking me over every single time. I’ve tried multiple strats but just can’t one phase him at all and the second he goes immune, the room seems to fill with twice the amount of enemies that there was first time round and I get merked. Bubble Titan, Banner Of War, Tractor Cannon, One 2 punch shotty with Burning Fists. It’s driving me crazy. I swear all the videos online of people soloing Vorgeth have less enemies, and those enemies are far more placid than what I experience.

        Just as convoluted as always. There seems to be plenty of stuff that the diehard players moan about but as someone who primarily only plays during my lunch hour, it’s perfectly fine and fun. I only had up to Forsaken until I managed to get Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, The Witch Queen and Lightfall a couple months ago for £25 thanks to a steam sale so that’s opened my game up quite a bit. Witch Queen was awesome but I didn’t pay much attention to the storyline. Stasis and Strand are fun new subclasses too. I really enjoy it for just picking up and shooting shit for an hour a day but I’ve never been a big fan of grinding games anyway so it works well for me.

    The rise of “Subject” produced and directed documentaries are going to be hugely problematic moving down the years.

    This entire week when I would see the international games all I hoped was that none of our boys got hurt and I hope they come back to us in decent shape. The sheer audacity of my friends who are Chelsea fans to suggest that they will surprise us this weekend and take the win is absolutely ridiculous. I used to fear going to Stamford Bridge and expected Drogba to destroy us or some stupid decision to go against us. I still have my fears but I trust this process and hope we absolutely dismantle them with Martinelli and Jesus just tearing up their defense. Come on you Gunners !!!

      He is amusing, I’ll concede, but have you ever heard the phrase “over egging the pudding”? He has a tendency to do that with his metaphors.

        Hard to say, it was certainly challenging. I fumbled a bit in the middle, corrected myself, but answered most of the questions correctly. I’ll have to wait for the HR rep to communicate what happens next. But, I have no regrets, I gave my best. And I’m sure there’ll be more opportunities if this one slips away.

    I finished The Reckoning on BBC last night and I’m really mad that creep died without getting punished. He got away with it.
