Defying the polls (as is custom) for starter and mains, but dessert one fully helped me to commit to the top choice. Good work peoples.

The airline have cancelled our flights to Barcelona for Primavera 2020.
@avery has already found slightly better flights at a reasonable price but I’ve been umming and ahhing about whether I want to go at all and now we’ve had our flights cancelled without having to pay for the privilege…

Don’t buy new flights - None of our friends are going.
The line up so far is mostly :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping: (imho)
It’s expensive and we’ve been quite a few times before
Could go to another big UK/Europe festival and have another little holiday elsewhere

Buy new flights today -
You always have fun
The line up isn’t even out yet, they’ve only drip fed a few bands
If you wait until the line up comes out (and it’s good and you do want to go) the flights will have gone up in price a lot
Barcelona is cool

  • Book the flights
  • Wait until the line up comes out (potentially don’t go/pay more if you do love the line up)

If you know you like Barcelona then that and 5 bands would make it worth it.

#1044

sounds like you’re not fussed unless the lineup is really good and if that’s the case you probably won’t mind having to pay a bit more for the flights anyway

Travel by train!

Only half joking.

#1046

Yeah would very much like to do this! Problem is cost +extra time/annual leave days.
We wanted to do it this year but it just wasn’t possible :pensive:

I need to negotiate reduced hours with my work because I’m going to college to begin a career change. Because it’s college, the reduced hours will need to work around class times. I reckon the HR team and my line manager will be cool with this; unfortunately the one person who can be a dick about it (Head of Department) is a dick about these kind of things (can fully see her inventing reasons why I have to work specific days of the week just for the fuck of it). Additional complication: I probably can’t afford college without the relatively good salary I’m getting, so taking another job is almost certainly off the table.

Given the subject matter is ultimately “I don’t want to do this job anymore”, who should I first approach?

  • Line Manager (good guy who will be fully supportive, but has Stockholm Syndrome and will immediately tell Head of Dept even if I tell him not to, putting me on the back foot.)?
  • HR (they’re sort of alright, but I don’t 100% trust them after they shat on my previous line manager based on Head of Dept’s bullshit. might be good for processing it all but unsure if they’re best place to start)?
  • Union rep (very good guy, but buggered if I know what he can do for me in this instance except ‘be aware’)?
  • Head of Dept (don’t be an arse… this is obviously a silly idea)?

Line manager then HR straight after

Yeah, kind of made sense as soon as I’d posted this. Will wait until the end of the week when crappy Head of Dept is off. :+1:

If you got to HR without telling your boss first they’ll just tell you to go talk to your boss

Good luck. :crossed_fingers:

Should I buy the Collector’s Edition of Walter Hill’s Streets of Fire from the States?

https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B06W52DKSP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A4XRJ8S0WXSO0&psc=1

I saw the film once in the 80s and remember it being both terrible and amazing but on the other hand I rarely get around to watching stuff so maybe I never will actually watch it. Also it’ll be about £50 including postage.

  • Get Streets of Fire
  • It’s actually shit and you’ll regret it

Similarly, it seems like it’s only £5 (probably plus another £5 postage at least) to own Capricorn One on BluRay

https://www.classicdvd.com.au/show_product.php?bq=2&id=61275&url=listing.php?bq=2&actor=Brenda%20Vaccaro

but the fact it says it’s 4:3 is deeply concerning to me. I think they’re wrong but…

  • Get Capricorn One
  • That looks a dodgy place, don’t buy it from there
  • I am an idiot who doesn’t rate Capricorn One

I guess @ericVI for his opinion :smiley:
