Oh damn, so different. Here you're pretty much required to go through a whole phone call process where you give them all your previous job's details/hours/rate and all that. Exception I think if it's a reoccurring thing with a job laying the person off when the work is slow but idk too much about that. Also only have to go to the building once before you get started and I think I only needed to go cause of issues getting set up since it was my first/only time Ofc tho everyone just says they're looking for a job just to get that free money

Ah I didn't think 711 would be grouped with off licenses since they're a big chain but ok yeah there's those lil random mini shops around here all over the place which is what I was thinking they were. Best spots to go to for anything, although they can still be overpriced but better than the typical supermarket etc.

Problem for me is I can never get myself to bet against the guys who have done well, like Martin Adams, Scott Mitchell etc. because I have no clue how those worse players play, I just notice they have constantly poor odds & seem to get beat a bunch Ahhh @ thinking it was a 12 hour difference Did you not even notice from how dark it was outside? Although I guess 8am & 8pm can look a bit similar sometimes around summer time Like it's still bright af after 6:30 over here now

Lol niiiiice And yes I have that same Keane Barry bet on mine

OMG

Okay so today I downloaded this app that was being advertised by the darts

I found like 3 different promo codes for a £3 bet (so I had £9) and it was only possible to bet on a bunch of horse races with it

And

I literally got my money back!!!!!!!!

Lmaooo yeah when I was home before I could EASILY do an all-nighter and last near to 36-48 hours staying up but just when I was going out that day because then I had to stay awake/didn't get tired. But being inside/in bed all day just makes you more tired I think and if you decide to lay down it's over Omg I just finished all my energy drinks like yesterday but they def have no effect on me, I legit fell asleep straight after one </3

Yeah it's exactly that. Idk why it's called universal credit, they made a new version of it or something I think. They just give everyone a (small) fixed amount here, like it would hardly even be enough to live off of tbh

Ahhhh NOT another 4-way parlay Reaaaally hope this one comes in this time BUT I hope you went for some Keane Barry!!!!!

Yeah like Scott even lost to Andy 5-0 so idk what was going on with him today I knew these matches would be too dodgy though because they're all so equal. I thought I'd bet on tomorrow's games tbh already, been soooo drunk today lol and was thinking for the longest time it was 8am not pm till I saw the 24 hour clock on here.

Ohhh wow, I think they only do it online here (no phone calls before corona) and like once every 2 weeks or once every month you go to the centre. So I guess yeah ultimately it isn't too bad for what you get. I know some people who just lie and say they're looking for jobs too when they're not so maybe it's kinda easy

I think an off-license here would be similar to a 7-11 there? They usually stay open pretty late and open early & yep just mini corner shops down most roads that aren't chains. There are loaaads in London but not sure there are any here

I'm back on the darts 4-game parlay $50 for $117ish return tomorrow, all major favorites And this time I'll actually be getting the free $10 LAST attempt at this no matter what happens

Btw is this universal credit literally exactly like unemployment benefits - like UK’s version of it or something - or is it just similar / something different/extra to unemployment benefits? Like if you apply for unemployment here then your pay just depends on what you were previously getting but scaled way down

Loool it’s pretty hard to follow through the entire next day of an all nighter if you’re not forced by being out & busy. Maybe old age has started setting in for me but like during college days I could go to sleep at 5:00am or later, wake up 1-3 hours later for class/work, be busy all day & then not fall asleep until the night after. I’d be dead that morning & throughout the day these days. Maybe I need those energy drinks now
