@conradder@J3MMO Ian Watkins came out after the show, Jamie tried to call him over to chat and he just went “nah, not tonight lads”. Jamie just looked at us and said “he’s a bit of a dick” and we went back in to watch Andrew WK as he has headlining.
@conradder@J3MMO Yeah, we spent about half an hour after a lostprophets show talking with the DJ from the band, Jamie Oliver (no relation to the other one). Was just after Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja came out so early ish.
@rigsy Related to this but not a middle of the night Google, I did watch Busteds Radio 2 in the Park set to see if they played Palahnuik’s Laughter, the Fightstar song. They didn’t…
@conradder Keepy uppies and flipping beer mats. Did 30 beer mats at once one time during a holiday in Donegal. Only thing I never managed to find a way to avoid the boredom from was mass.
@svpino We could just have more discussion time set aside but the act of estimating and explaining the reasons behind the estimates actively encourages participation and questions being asked.
@svpino “Look at me and tel me I’m wrong”
You’re wrong. Or at least, I’m sure you’re right in a lot of circumstances but not all. We use story points to encourage discussion from a team who traditionally rushed to implement before thinking through the work.
@philspencerz @SzMarsupial Oh yeah, definitely. Although child benefit changes over 50k but still in a better position as it’s like bringing up kids and sending them to different types of things like swimming, gymnastics and football. Which again, is something that not everyone can do.
@SzMarsupial But if you get a higher salary and go for those things you want because of it, then the stability is eroded. Going from 25k to 50k and not changing anything about your current life will make things more stable but going from single to family is a massive change.
@SzMarsupial If going from 25k to 50k means you can buy a house, then that’ll bring more stability. But then things like a wedding, kids etc just brings it back again. And those are still great things and privileges that others can’t have.
