As a relatively boring person when it comes to hairstyles. I've stuck to the same short back and sides and an inch or so on top for my whole adult life and used the same barber shop for the whole I've lived in my current home because they are close, cheap, and I don't know anything about whether or not they do a good job so they'll do.

However, the indifference I show towards my hair usually leads me to waiting a good while longer than most between cuts, which combined with what I'm told us pretty thick hair often leads to the lady there saying I shouldn't wait so long in a jovial tone that's obviously attempting to hide some genuine annoyance. This is the root of my current predicament. I

I like the flavour, but as I sit here scoffing the Galaxy caramel in my selection box, I think back to the salted caramel Galaxy bar that I had yesterday from the same box. Then when I looked in my cupboard, the millionaire shortbread bites are all salted caramel. It seems everything is salted caramel, and normal caramel treats are fast becoming a thing of the past. I definitely don't remember the same thing being the case in Christmases past, so what the bloody hell has happened to good old fashioned caramel sweets?

Just had the auto moderator DM, location is England

Recently my dear old grandma passed, god bless her, and it was up to my mum and her siblings to plan the funeral along to her best wishes. Everything except one thing went fine, but when the day got to the lowering of the coffin, it became apparent the grave was literally too small. A man tried to push the coffin a bit to literally line it up as perfectly as possible to make it fit, but it still got slightly caught and we were all told to leave for a little while while the coffin sat slightly in the grave at an angle while I guess the grave diggers came back for another stab at it.

Sorry for the wall of context, but I feel it was needed t

I currently have two credit cards, one with Nationwide and one with Lloyds. I had to make a ~£500 purchase a couple of months ago and wanted to spread it out over a year, and I saw that my Lloyds card was offering me a 0% interest 3% fee balance transfer, so I paid on my Nationwide card and did the transfer.

Fast forward a few months, and I needed to make another £250 purchase. I saw that this time, my Nationwide card was offering me an almost identical 0% interest 2.9% fee balance transfer so I made the purchase on my Lloyds card with the intention of transfering the balance right away.

However, here's my question, my Lloyds card currently has ~£400 balance at 0% because of the balance tr

So here's the deal, I recently bought my £699 phone on my credit card with 10.9% APR. I told myself I'd pay it off in 12 months and worked out that it would cost ~£62 a month and set up a direct debit for that amount.

Later on that month, I decided to save a bit of money by applying for a 0% balance transfer card (saving me about £30 after the transfer fee, yay) and changed the direct debit on my old credit card back to "pay off full amount".

The request to change the direct debit obviously didn't go through fast enough, and even though the balance on the card was £0, the £62 direct debit went through... Leaving my credit card £62 in credit. Is there a way to transfer this balance into my

Here's my current situation, I've been working at my current employer for almost 2 years (will be 2 years in October) without a contract. For those 22 months, I've worked 39 hours a week every week, besides holidays. Now, my boss has had me and other newer employees up in the office saying we're going to be given contracts... but only zero hour contracts. This is under the rouse of "the lawyers are getting into us about these contrwcts due to the data protection act", as we handle lots of customer names and addresses.

Every other worker who has been there longer were all signed into 39-hour contracts years ago, but suddenly all of us newer workers are being told we're now going to be on ze

I've worked at my current employer for coming on 15 months now, it's my first job since finishing university so I'm obviously not very well versed in my employee rights. In those 15 months, I've been working a full 39 hours every week, picking up overtime whenever I've been asked to do it. The job is very seasonal, so most overtime is available this time of year.

However, today I've been given quite the blow, the rota covering who is working overtime and when doesn't include me at all. Of course, overtime isn't mandatory, but I feel it is unfair, and possibly not legal, that all other staff members are being offered it except for me.

My supervisor questioned it, and was told I "didn't m

In the past I have had plenty of regen players that are absolute dicks. They miss training, they go out the night before a big game and do other infuriating crap. It's annoying, but it's realistic to have certain unprofessional players act like idiots.

In the game you can't have this problem with a real player, I'd imagine someone like Jack Grealish would be pretty pissed off about being portrayed as an asshole, but it would be realistic to have current real players have discipline problems too.

Is there a mod or a file that needs editing to allow this to happen?

Help! My not very tech savvy Mum made the terrible decision of buying my not very tech savvy father one of these abominations, a Homtom HT7. It's a good looking phone with a nice screen and nice design, with a couple of absolutely glaring software issues. In a diabolical decision which somebody deserves to be hung for, the stock ROM comes with some malware and adware pre-installed! (Homtom, installing malware so you don't have to.) As you can imagine, this is infuriating to my old dad who doesn't want a Candy Crush ad popping up whenever he unlocks his phone.

I've tracked down the apps that are causing the pro
