    Anyone have experience with Amazon lightning deals? I'm just after ordering a neon Nintendo Switch bundle with Mario Rabbids & Super Mario Odyssey for £300 and wondering if I'll definitely get it or should I prepare myself for a 'no stock available email'. I added it to my basket, it said 100% claimed & I had 15 minutes to put through my order which I did and got an order number so hopeful that I have it.

    I think if you got an order number, you should be ok

    Yeah the percentage counts all who have it in the basket. Which is why the percentage sometimes goes down again when people decide they don't want it after all

    Oh cool, I had been tempted by a deal early friday morning but decided to sleep on it then it was gone. Saw the countdown in my basket this morning and could fully relate to this

    Anyone have any tips on how to reply to the question " what is your salary expectations" when in an interview or before you get that to phase. Im currently applying for jobs and for me its always the question that knocks me . Im afraid that i have gone too high or too low then also say its negotiable etc

    Man, I paid £330 for the normal Switch with SMO last week, so that looks a great deal :)

    It’s tricky but don’t sell yourself short. Err a little on the high side, try and find out what similar jobs pay. If they like you they’ll make an offer and you can negotiate then if you want the job. Bear in mind that they’ll probably have an idea what you’re on at the moment so if you ask for double that it will probably work against you.

    Alternatively ask the interviewer how much they’re on and tell them you want more than that.

    Ask higher than you think but say you're open to negotiation

    No experience in those type of questions but if you're currently in employment then I'd be looking for an increase at least.

    I knw WWE sometimes send talent scouts to Rugby Championships around the world to see can they find potential stars but what current WWE superstars could make it in Rugby ?

    I imagine Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Big Show ,Cass and Cillian Dane could be handy players for there size

    I'm not sure any of them would make it if we're talking about the top level of the sport. If we're talking about getting through a reasonably high level game, Cesaro played rugby so I'm sure he would be able to get through one without disgracing himself.

    Reigns I would think would do well too if he had the time to train and learn the rules. He he has an American football background, has good size and is a good athlete. The Usos I would say as well for similar reasons.

    I think most of the big guys would gas very quickly after about ten minutes: Strowman, Cass, Wyatt. It would need to be guys that are well conditioned, have some sporting background, and would have to be mentally prepared for the big hits they would take.

    I do love the idea though of Enzo getting smashed by Sean O'Brien.

    The Uso's at Rugby 7's.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,748 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    it's like when that Vince buying Newcastle rumour came up, im now imagining the starting 15 of WWERugby. Enzo scream half almost murduring outhalf Balor with every pall he passes him so no.8 Reigns just carriers all the time.

    I'd love to see Punk back. UFC isn't what he's made for at all.

    I put mine up today! My neighbours had theirs up for about a week or so already. When December hits it's definitely all gravy. Takes forever to set up so you'd wanna get good value out of it!

    I've seen on t'internet people clingfilm wrapping their trees (fully made up) and storing that until next year. Anyone tried it/how'd it go?
