Why do recruiters not include the salary on job adverts? What is it you are hiding? It smacks of dishonesty to me.

All hands on deck! This is the biggest threat to Stop Killing Games yet! The EU #KidsAct could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market and making private and community servers illegal!: youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you" - @accursedfarms Don't just take our word for it, here's the EU Kids Act to see for yourself.

Is it just my imagination or is the sunlight a little strange today? It has that quality you get when the sun is partially obscured during a solar eclipse. Like when a very small sliver is covered over. Very weird.

Eurostar unveils cocktail bars on new trains standard.co.uk/news/london/e… We don't want cocktails we just want the train to stop at Ashford International and Ebbsfleet International again so we do not have to travel all the way up to London just to get on a train that passes my door.

I don't understand this trend of turning up at the airport dressed for the destination. It's freezing cold and pissing down. People turning up in shorts and t shirts clearly freezing their tits off. Just get changed on the other side FFS!

"The driver has to make a few more deliveries on the way to your address." Translation: Your driver is currently learning a new language, starting a family in the next town over, and solving a decades old cold case before dropping off your £5 charging cable.

My name is Mike. Yet frequently people will call me MARK instead of Mike, either to my face or via email replies. I am wondering if this is just something I alone suffer or if other 'Mikes' also have the same experience?
