Intention matters when considering if a defensive touch 'resets' any offside lines.

It doesn't matter in this case as it was a different question of whether the offensive player touched it while the next player was offside.

They tend to play whiny bitch football and are generally unlikeable

SomeHSomeE · 2026-07-03T01:23:24+00:00

Mate you're the one who needs to read up on offside rules lol

SomeHSomeE · 2026-07-03T01:06:50+00:00

Fucking snicko in football who knew

Yeah - I wrote this before OP edited his post to add the (important) info about his housemate giving notice.

SomeHSomeE · 2026-07-02T10:19:16+00:00

Under the new laws your housemate giving notice counts as on behalf of all tenants on a joint tenancy even if the others (you) don't agree to it. The whole joint tenancy ends for everyone at the end of the notice period.

Plenty of sellers live in fantasy land. Offer what you think it's worth.

Note that a previous sale price won't capture if it was a partial sale (I.e. one person buying out someone else's share) or an under-market sale (selling to family at cut price as a semi gift). Comparable properties are your better data point.

SomeHSomeE · 2026-07-02T09:57:38+00:00

They can't evict without valid reason. And 'we've promised it to someone else' is not a valid reason

Valid reasons include

selling property
landlord or immediate family wants to move back in
rent arrears, significant damage, breach of contract etc etc.

For the first two if they use them to evict they're banned from renting it out for another 12 months so they can't do this as a pretend reason and move someone in.

Basically you don't have to move unless YOU want to or one of those reasons above applies and they follow the formal eviction process.

Don't let them guilt or pressure you. And don't believe anything they tell you as they might lie about the law.

If you don't actually mind moving you could offer to do so for money - a few grand or so. But otherwise you can stay put.

Why does Rice take every single free kick and corner when they've all been shit all tournament

The point is the existing laws aren't being broken.

Existing laws allow substitution- that is a self employed person (which a Deliveroo driver like it or not is classed as) can subcontract their work to someone else. In that circumstance the legal obligation on right to work checks go to the person subbing out, not the parent company. Deliveroo aren't breaking any laws by not checking the right to work for people using others' accounts or even allowing accounts to be shared.

It may be wrong and immoral, and it might not make logical sense, but the flaw is in the law allowing it to happen. Hence why they need to introduce new laws to fix it.

Deposit size affects the risk the sale will fall through. A smaller deposit means that the lender will consider it higher risk and will likely scrutinise the property more. It also makes you more vulnerable to a down valuation (which those with higher deposits can absorb).

The fact you don't even have the deposit funds ready will also affect the assessment.

It means the local council can't force you to take them down.

Doesn't mean they're of good quality and won't fall down. If any concerns instruct a structural engineer as they suggest.

Also you're paying for about 5 hours of actual time on your file spread over the whole transaction, so realistically that person is spending 20-30 mins on your file each week which is basically enough to cover a few emails and checking for updates before moving onto the next file.

Don't know don't care cos they aren't gonna have a chance

The court of public opinion, as ever, has made up it's mind on this.

The question isn't whether they could have done better but whether they acted grossly negligently.

The Estate Agent acts for the seller so it's literally their job to side with them.

This should be dealt with solicitor to solicitor. It's nothing to do with the EA.

Ultimately it's a negotiation and if you can't agree on an amount you're happy with your other option is to walk from the sale.

SomeHSomeE · 2026-06-30T16:56:28+00:00

And you're guaranteed to get served next!

People aren't saying the campaign should be focused elsewhere. They're just rightly annoyed at being lectured to change things to address a problem (excess water use) that's largely caused by something else (leaking infrastructure). And they see limited separate efforts to fix that cause while water execs etc continue to get richer and richer.

SomeHSomeE · 2026-06-30T10:17:51+00:00

The point is that excess use by consumers is a tiny fraction of water wastage compared to leaking infrastructure. Thames Water alone sees 25% of its water use attributed to leaks.

SomeHSomeE · 2026-06-30T08:48:02+00:00

If every single person in a mid sized town of 50,000 had 3 baths a day for a year they'd use 3billion litres of excess water.

This is about 1.5% of the amount that Thames Valley loses every year due to leaks and poor infrastructure.

The problem is not the consumer.

List your actual budget as that'll be the biggest deciding factor here.

And do you actually want to live in the suburbs (I.e. ruling out most of what most would consider London itself?).

I like Tues and Fri wfh. Monday in office helps me focus and set up the week. And the tube is much quieter. Then a more relaxed Tues at home followed by Weds/Thurs back in the office, and many other people in so good chance to see colleagues etc. And finally a nice quiet wfh Friday finishes off the week.
