EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

@bq It's really nice to hear of your new life, very heartened to hear it.

EU reforms gig economy rules and adds rights to minimum wage, sick pay etc.

Let's hope brexit won't stop UK firms following the same rules anyway.

Lol

Aw thanks mate.

I do 1h every day

You sicko.

I hate the 10min or whatever Duolingo takes out of my day.

Not really related but didn't Uber just get ruled against in London?

To be fair though, your English is getting better

Oi!

I'm happy to hear you have settled well and can only hope you are picking up the local accent, which surely cannot be that bad. You don't want to speak like a Parisien.

Almost got the French down too I see ;)

Why I oughta!

Just got fed up of not being able to deal with shit. Now I can ish
In a year ill be good

Yeah for sure. I had a much easier time during Transiberica. Even knowing some super basic shit is better than only knowing "dos cervesas por favor". I booked one hostel place over the phone and knew stuff like "ahora" and "aqui" and "mas tarde" and "siete" and essentially enough to convince the woman to send her son over to let me in and take my money :)

Yep!

This EU ruling applies to all gig economy jobs.

Won't read cos express but they made a factor 100 calculating mistake I heard?

To be fair, I'm hardly in a position to talk! Figuratively or literally!

We're both better at written and verbal English than a lot of English.

and I was definitely not googling Irish jokes for the last hour...

Hope I didn't show up as a result!

haha nah, just the usual stuff and nothing that would effectively mock both of us so I gave up (after reading two, I may have exaggerated about the "hour").

Can't beat a bit of self-deprecating humour! (though I'm shite at it)

If only I knew what self-deprecating meant... I'm sure I'd agree with you.

Wait, is it finding out you're lactose intolerant after shitting yourself drinking pints of Baileys? :D
