The TPU UK Clubhouse

[Tatty_Two]

All good, the new job will give me my full paycheck and at almost double so i'll have some spare change and putting away a bigger amount into saving since my goal is to start looking at houses next April.
The car is indeed a Mazda
School's are just prime hotspot just because they say "children are safe" but they don't think oh they could be carriers from their parents and so fourth.
Just came back from my 2nd jab, so far i'm fine but probably going to have dead right arm later lol.
I'm about 12 years in with TPU, my first post was about a D.O.A PSU I believe.

Hi guys and gals.

I was born in Hungary, but I've lived in the Midlands, UK for the last 5 years. This is where I work, pay taxes, pay rent and bills, have nearly all my stuff, my car, my girlfriend, etc. So technically, this is my home. It's a bit funny when people at work ask me when I'm planning to go home and I respond "same as you - when my shift ends".

The only thing I miss is seeing my parents and brother. I'm not jabbed, but even if I were, there's no way of knowing what rules are gonna be next month, or even next week. The world's governments seem to be changing their minds faster than teenage girls about which clothes to wear. It doesn't look like I'll be able to visit any family any time soon, though going to see a football game or a festival with thousands of strangers is fine. I get the feeling that the world's values are going upside down, and people are going down the toilet with it, because they're too afraid to challenge the rules, or to have an original thought without government interference.

Sorry for the moan, I guess this is what Hungarians do best - especially this overworked Hungarian who misses family visits.

Just thought I'd say hi.

Ah man I miss the Nvidia 8000/9000 series era, simple time and not filled with all the current BS.

There is nothing wrong with not getting vaccinated, it is a choice unless they make it mandatory which I don't think it will be regardless of the situation.
They can preach all they like about getting vaccinated but at the end of the day they are made to help minimise the symptoms at best if you catch it, there is no way in stopping it which is the same as the flu jab.
What makes it bonkers is the way they are presenting it which is what pissing most people off.
Welcome to the UK where people can't seem to acknowledge is very diverse now still to this date. =)
I've not had any of those silly comments in a long time,probably because as I open my mouth I sound very..british, kinda reminds me 2 weeks playing COD online with one of my mate, we was using the public chat because he was playing on PS5 and I was playing on my PC. One randomer immediately went "stfu you british sh*ts"

Thinking we're all with you on that one!

Couldn't help but laugh when I read this. Not AT you just about that situation.
Some people can be utter twonks..

I used to work a job that was predominantly made up of eastern euros, some Africans and the whole rainbow when it came to Asians in general - So long as we all did our job. Nobody cared what colour we were or where we were from. Though I had a manager who was Russian and he always handed more shifts out to people within or lean closer to his kind of ethnic circle. Clearly a racist and a bit of a dickhead but i hated the job, and i hated him so for me it was a relationship that worked pretty well. Id still get given shifts from other managers and people at HQ so him being a total dickhead didnt affect me much till he started cancelling my shifts and giving it to others, but then he eventually got fired and that was the end of that.

Well the 2nd Modena jab kicked my ass past 2 days, I felt like sub zero on Monday night out of the blue and then yesterday had a mild fever as my temperature was mix of hot and cold.
Feeling better now after just waking up lol.

Btw, born in UK - Cheshire, but have lived in Spain-Andalucía since 2003, miss my folks and mates but apart from that Spain's been treating me well
Ohh favorite tea bags were Yorkshire Tea

People can be nice or dickheads regardless of race. In my job, we only have English managers, though. Its a bit different on day shifts - shift managers are trying to impress their superiors by including foreigners in management teams, I guess - but nights is a bit more feral than that. You have to be someone's friend to become someone, and you have to be English to become someone's friend. Not that I'd really want that anyway, I'm happy with what I have - if only I could earn the same money working 4 days instead of 5. Maybe one day.

Ugh. I don't want any jab. I wouldn't mind if it was my choice, but all the pressure governments are putting on people to have it makes it smell fishy as F.
Get better, mate.

That will be an awesome thing to have Still trying to track down a new job for me but sadly with COVID at home, not much at the moment I'm feeling up to looking for. Still trying to grab somewhere local to do because I don't wish to have the big drives and such but still waiting on something that fits for me is a problem meh

Will you're new job be doing a similar role from what you where doing before or something different??
It's been ironic really, since my youngest has had it, but eldest hasn't and the Mrs's hasn't but I have and I've had 2 jabs as well and she's just had one... Strange!!

Everyone doing ok??

RIP Sean Lock , top comedian..... saw him a few times in Wolves and Preston

 

[Cheese_On_tsaot]

Never watched the show but I am sure he meant something to those who enjoyed his talents, RIP.

 

[Space Lynx]

Me? I'm a. Guru3d exile. That place became too toxic and I gave up wanting to hang around and help people there

::EDIT::

But prior to that, I was a very long time lurker of TPU - I always browsed the frontpage and the downloads section but never set foot in the forums till i decided it was time to go - Though i was only there for about a year i think

I think what tipped me over the edge was an article about a sony playstation on the FP so i opened an account just to bitch about it.

for me it was overclock net, I just preferred the TPU layout from a UI/graphical standpoint. and then when OCN got bought out... it went to crap, so I moved here permanently, haven't logged into OCN in ages and probably never will. TPU is king

 

[Cheese_On_tsaot]

My last outing was way back in 2013 in Tom's Hardware, those forums went to shit.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I always liked his style of humour and it got better if he had a story to tell before getting to the punchline.

(Sean Lock that is...)

and a lovely obituary by Harry Hill

Harry Hill on Sean Lock: ‘The comedian’s comedian who took us all by surprise’

Sean’s crazily funny gags reminded me why I got into comedy – his dry humour was always balanced with his wide-eyed wonder at the world

Thank you!

Especially loved the Stella has a good punch!

Does anyone know if the UK's definition of fully vaccinated has changed yet? Several countries (France/Germany/etc) and major organizations (National Football League) classify fully vaccinated as previous Covid + 1 shot of pfizer.

Or is it still two shots required for that definition in that country?

As far as I know, you need 2 shots to be "fully vaccinated".

****, ok. I'm going to get my second shot tomorrow, even though I think the science supports my 1 shot plus previous covid, I'll do it anyway cause I got a chance to come to UK soon, and I'm going to do it since I am lucky enough to work remote right now.

bleh. it's w.e.

If you had covid in the last 3 months, you're good. I think. Not sure, though. Here you can read all about the latest restrictions. No living person is able to keep up with government plans and changes. It's annoying AF.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

2 shots fully vaccinated in UK for sure.

 

[dorsetknob]

Its 2 Shots of Vaccine + 8 weeks from last shot to be fully Vaccinated in UK.
This may change as the Situation re Covid is still Fluid (Covid Booster shots are expected to occur in late Autumn).

 

[the54thvoid]

Isn't it 2 shots and two weeks?

From Gov.

from 19 July, arrivals who have been fully vaccinated with an NHS administered vaccine in the UK (plus 14 days), or are on a formally approved UK vaccine clinical trial, returning to England from amber list countries will no longer need to quarantine – passengers will need to provide proof of their vaccination status to carriers in advance of travel

Obviously that's domestic but the date after 2nd jab would be the same?

 

[Tatty_Two]

I think I also read somewhere, that catching it before only counts for these specific purposes if it was caught in the last 3 months and was the delta variant.
