I fail to believe that they make people work 24 hour shifts.


Mr Willy does tend to make things up when it come to working.

I work at McDonalds and 24 hours seems a bit much, but I've seen someone been in there for 3 days straight. He wasn't made to do it though

They seem cheap, thats about all I know.

I use Endsleigh for mine, not too bad (get my student insurance through them as well) price wise and were really good when I made a claim.

I have no idea lol. It was a inspection weekend so the place was overstaffed on purpose and everyone was doing like 14 hour shifts anyway. This guy was there from one morning, stayed there the night to do cleaning jobs, worked the next morning, cleaned again and then did another day shift the day after. Mad stuff

I work in a Call Center for Know How (PC World/Currys) and we can only do 3 12 hour shifts before legally having to have a day off. 24 hours straight isn't do-able imo.

Yeah theres been a new system out now which makes it you have to have 12 hours between shifts, so people now can't be on a close one day (close about 1am) then an open the day after.

Totally unrelated but recommendations - PS4 or Xbox one?

Was leaning towards the first mainly because of paying for live but now hear you have to pay for PS4 online service too. And the Live servers were pretty good tbf

Yeah you have to have PS+ now but its well worth having even before the multiplayer stuff, get some brilliant games for free (obviously it wont be as good for a few months on PS4). Depends really if you want all the TV stuff the Xbox comes with or not, if your not interested then the PS4 is the better choice.

You get 2 games a month on Live, don't know how it'll work on the One but i got Halo 3 for nothing a month or so ago. http://www.xbox.com/en-ca/live/games-with-gold

As for which is better, its no good asking anyone and best to just go for what you think will suit you better. Gaming wise there really isn't much between them anyway.

Go check out a list of exclusive titles for each console and pick the one with the games that interest you the most.

The games you with Gold are pretty ancient though, generally the games with PS+ are a year old at the most

He died the day after there was a rumour of him dying. That's just odd

Like fucking clockwork because I'm here. Not really, the goods in are terrible half the time and it doesnt help that probably 60% of the staff are temps and not really bothered. Some lovely European ladies though.

I feel for Tom Daley.

Clearly just wants to be some sort of normal guy, and have a normal relationship, but the media are so desperate for a gay icon that they're not going to shut up about it for the next million years.

Why does it matter if he's gay or straight?

I doubt few people woke up today heard the news and thought 'well fuck me that came from nowhere' either, so I'm really struggling to see why this is the big sporting news story of the day.

He's not gay or straight, he's bisexual.

And of course it's going to be news, there's not exactly an abundance of openly gay/bisexual men in sport

Also its good that its publicised, especially with someone like Tom Daley who people look up to its good that its talked about and kids know that its entirely normal.
