And the article inside also titled it as a Mk2! At least PC have a section where they publish mistakes they’ve been called out for. CW have had articles finish mid paragraph and never rectified it, so you never got to read the end.
 

I think PC is a far better mag but have mostly given up on them all now and rely on here for getting my fix.

Here is a fix for sure. PC is a sideline, always a birthday gift so free!

No matter how hard we try or research tips and tricks, one of my dogs just refuses to stop eating shit and we’ve no idea why she does it. Those two dogs never would’ve guessed how spoiled they were going to be when we adopted them. Hey ho, she’s probably been doing it for a long time before we came onto the scene. 
 

Oh yeah, and I still fucking hate my job. Still “covering” that chap who’s been off since July last year and there is absolutely nothing job wise that is appealing to me on offer right now. It’s either less money than I make now and need a degree and years of experience, or no degree, less money, years of experience. Is it that hard to change career? I’m only 25 so time is on my side (I think) but there isn’t much opportunity for development at all. Feel a bit trapped.

I'm 37 so time isn't as much on my side.

After roughly a decade in IT followed by severe burnout I'm entering my third week as a garage receptionist.

It's kind of shite.

I just want to do something self employed and part time, as I don't need/want loads of money... But what would I do self employed? Fuck knows

I know it's not pleasant @nev_jrbut I did a bit of research on this ( couple of mine do it too) and apparently it doesn't do them any harm, it's us that feels bad/disgusted by it.

I've tried all the pineapple chunks etc, didn't make any difference, the only thing I've found is to pick it up asap.

Edit - oh and I went back to uni at26, I definitely wouldn't have stuck it out before then, never worked so hard in my life, and loved it.

Never actually used the degree I got tho🤔

Do you have a hobby / interest you can develop into a (part time) business ?

Get into adult education and learn new skill ...

Retrain as a teacher - 10 years in IT should get you a good "starter for ten" ...

That's the fucking job for me!

You can call Student Finance England if you want to apply online but you cannot use a computer without help.

Mad Jean is still away with the fairies.
Translation of what's going on: Mad Jean likes Andre fuckface fiddler. But instead of following the genuine Andre prefers to follow 10 billion different scam groups where some naughty foreigner pretends to be Andre to romance scam cash out of the gullible. When she realises it's a scam instead of unsubscribing she phones the police, to demand they do something about "bad men on the internet", and I suspect to also demand the real Andre should interact with her as compo. Maybe come and do a concert in her front room, jam the orchestra in her downstairs toilet.
