Both under 21 and first team get spanked 4-0 (at least)... Something on their minds?

Isambear Kingdom Brunel
Albear Einstein
and...
That was going to be my exact choices!
Don't worry bearsy, you're my favourite beat really (mainly because deppo was always my favourite SWF poster)

Just watched the "highlights"... wow, that was some seriously sloppy defending for all goals.

No the site is still part of the FLi contact but has been redesigned and re-hosted by SapientNitro. Saints have always edited the site and uploaded their own articles (like every other club) but the media dept. have had to create all the separate pages and learn the new site.
They have said that performance will improve once every club's site is uploaded. They need to iron out all of the bugs and little issues within it. A mobile site is also work in progress.
Ah ok.
Regardless of bugs, I'm slightly surprised someone designed that and said, yep that looks good. It doesn't look improved enough to warrant the effort taken to change it surely.
With any luck aap3 will be able to provide the site once FLi contract is up.

OK, How much of a tvv@t do I feel right now!?
I finally found the option to turn it off - deep within the setup menu on my TV. I have no idea how it got turned on in the first place (my girlfriend can't even open the media player on my Xbox without asking me how - every time!) and I honestly thought it was something that was being added by some TV stations now as part of some equality law or something, as it was only occurring every now and again on certain programs.
Let the laughing at Bexy commence - I'l start. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
I really think you could have got away with it by implying it was deppo/bearsy-esque stupidness.
But as you haven't. MASSIVE FAIL
-
it is awful! too slow, too many components and far too busy. Even worse on phone / tablets.
How long do we have left with the current contract?
Going on the comments by Saints media department bods on twitter I thought saints made it themselves now? Certainly no mention on site of the company that looked after the previous site as far as I can see...
-
Wind up, right?
-
Ha - just seen your PM.
It's a really interesting job actually. we've just a had a few guys out in italy, Germany and Spain doing installs - and some are back out to Russia shortly.
see you soon....
Got back from stag do in Milan Monday and going to Spain between now and start date so I'll certainly be used to flying around europe.
Can't wait for those airports, hotels and offices elsewhere
ciao
-
Nice, good luck.
Job sounds similar to what my company does - install and maintenance if AV and TelePresence systems.
Lots of overseas travel for my guys. Tough job, living out of a suitcase.
On the plus side, they get to see the world (airports, hotels and offices).
That doesn't sell it too much
-
My company must be extremely relaxed then, I book my own hotels and flights of my own choosing - have stayed in some lovely hotels and always fly BA through choice - often upgraded (easier as a single traveller). Plus I get shed loads of food and booze allowance each day ... maybe I do have it good after all!
In my present job this sort of thing is a lot more relaxed. I have a say in hotel etc and can claim back quite a bit for food etc. it might be the same in the new company but I've only had the official line so far.
Bridgey, Cheers, I'll be doing new comms equipment installations. (won't be too specific for sake of my identity)
-
The hotels and flights will all be booked and paid for by company so guess I can only request that free wifi is included at as many hotels as possible
-
Er yeah. Don't call your gf
I'm actually being serious, and maybe I'm a bit weird for even thinking this way, but easiest way to deal with missing your family is to switch yourself off. I'm in NI at the moment. Think I've phoned the missus once in the whole time I've been over. Don't like talking to the kids when I'm away either - that is even worse.
That's ok for us guys but she'd never forgive me if I didn't stay in touch!
-
Skype is free though? Skype to Skype anyway, so what's the problem? Most hotels do free wi-fi and even those that don't, you'll be able to find somewhere to bung a headset on, use their wifi (on phone or laptop etc) and speak.
But why can't you claim your wifi back anyway? I always claim mine back as I am there for work and it's a cost I wouldn't normally incur.
Just a tip - make sure you do all your proper phone calls before you go out on the p*ss each night
Text later on "good night" etc then enjoy the evening uninterrupted. Always take a gift back, no matter how big or small and remember that when you admit to going out on the smash, it's to "take your team out" etc., and it's a chore Oh yeah, when you get back as she'll probably feel like you've "been away" and she hasn't, make sure you do a meal out or something on the Friday or Saturday!
Yeah I know I'd be ok with skype, assuming the wi-fi is free. My point was that a lot of places I've stayed on holiday charge 15 quid for Internet access. Can't do that every time I go away.
The official company line is they will only pay for business calls/Internet use. I shouldn't need to use either of these for business when out of work hours so would be down to me to cover.
Cheers for yet more great advice guys
-
Ok. So I got the job and I've taken it.
I've discussed with them the finer details and had it confirmed I'll get the airmiles and lounge access etc where possible.
One thing bugging me (well more so my gf) is that my personal calls home/Internet time for Skype won't be claimable so I'm dreading how much I'm going to have to fork out for wifi in hotels or international calls. Anyone have any advice on this? Was thinking I may have to buy sim cards for each of the main cities to keep costs down.
When I've been on holiday in Europe in the last few years there's been less and less free wifi about as everyone is cashing in on it instead. It seems even letting my gf know I'm ok is going to rack up quite some expense each month...

Having taken on a job working in Europe each week from september I may need a taxi from west end to Southampton airport regularly if I can get a frequent customer discount

What about kids smacking kids?! Just seen this posted on Facebook;

Huawei are making a big push to get into the smart phone market after being more in the networking market for last decade. No surprise there's good technology to be had from them at low cost while they get their name out there

Tits!! Forget to set TiVo box to record the game
just got home to watch it and realised I never actually set it. Did I miss much? Available online anywhere to watch again? Worth it even?
-
Thanks for the great advice all. Some really good points I've made a note of. More to think about/to be had when flying frequently than I thought!
I think it will be different locations in Europe every time as its mostly new installations. Some US and Asia on the odd occasion.
I'm going for it as the vacancy found me and I like to give everything a good amount of consideration rather than just think "that's too scary" and move on.
I like the thought of experiencing working in different countries and I just get the feeling its a big but good new challenge. Not sure a 9-5 in England will present too many opportunities to step out of my comfort zone and develop further as a person.
....all things said the telephone interview may not have gone as well as I thought it did and may not get a face to face interview. Should hear soon enough!

As others have said, flying is not really the problem. It's everything else. I was back and forth from Northern Ireland for a few years, and while I'm happy to have logged those years in the career, home life became something quite weird and undefined. The girls tell me that from their perspective it always felt like I was just visiting, and that's what it really amounts to - you end up visiting your own life.
I've been back for two years now, and am glad to be so. Travel is now an occasional thing and enjoyable when I do it. I much prefer things this way around.
But right in thinking that as I don't have any kids yet it might be a good time to try it and get the experience?
My gf isn't too overjoyed by the idea. Her dad was in a similar position and tells me her mum just used to worry all time
-
It is just like catching a bus or a train every week, but far safer. Great to start with, a pain for making midweek matches. In the end you make of it what you want
Have we got many mid-week in the prem? Haven't considered that :-S Really hoped not to miss any games this season after allowing myself a ST again.
Guess I can't let football get in the way though........ Can I?!?!
-
Safety is the least of your issues! Statistics prove that.
Your biggest worry will be the relationship IMHO. Lots of travel will put a strain on that.
I'm hoping it will just be Monday-Thursday jobs, with fri to sun off so only the evenings I'm sacrificing.
I guess the stress of the travelling might mean I'm not the best person to be around at the weekend though...
-
Currently going for a job which regularly involves working on sites in europe 3-4 days at a time (most weeks I'm told)..
Anyone on here fly for work regularly and can give any advice?
I have slight concerns about all the flying for safety reasons (as does my gf) and how much of an impact that amount of time away will have on life.
On the positive side I think it will be good experience and might be a good change from working around the UK!

Has puncheon finally got enough game time to learn to get his shots down?! At least a couple of skyward shots every game.
Good sign.
just got home to watch it and realised I never actually set it.

I for one got a season ticket on the basis that I wouldn't go to any cup/pre-season games. If the number of ST's sold has gone through the roof then maybe a lot of others are doing the same.
