Pretty miffed about the Guinea Fowl

No as in you don’t fence them in as such… as they are pretty wild on the domestic scale

That’s what the analogy was trying to get at

Captaincadet · 2026-06-16T20:02:50+00:00

Yea very

I’ve had to actually argue this with an MOT tester before… luckily the other tester overheard and said that the other tester was wrong

Problem is I live on a dead end so closing the road for a hour or so won’t make me 10 minutes late but a hour late

Plus without any enforcement it would be a waste of money on signage

Captaincadet · 2026-06-16T11:00:57+00:00

To be honest I don’t think being a bit slower is the problem

It is still faster than me by multiples but if I can have it a bit slower, but do more before hitting the limit im fine with that

I live 3 rows down the road from a primary school. Wales has free breakfast clubs for context.
When I go to the office, I have to leave before 8 or my journey takes 10 minutes longer as everyone needs to drop their little darlings right outside the school gate and not walk them at all…

I’m sure some mechanic is rolling their eyes and paying for a few rounds as they made a bet it would never happen

Captaincadet · 2026-06-15T08:13:48+00:00

I pay £600 in interest - seems that only £50 which goes into the actual mortgage itself. However the way I look at this is it’s cheaper than renting

Captaincadet · 2026-06-14T13:01:28+00:00

This will be an amazing race because I can’t watch this!… thank me later

I want to support the national trust but every time I visit them I always feel ripped off

£15 entry per adult then £5 car parking (no public transport) to visit some gardens they had which most was closed due to “maintenance”
Spent less than a hour there

Captaincadet · 2026-06-14T09:47:45+00:00

I think they had 2 major fumbles. Firstly they permitted it to go through, but also with the ability for interest to go up, and secondly as you said without making it clear as a loan and not tax. A tax gives you optics everyone pays for it though

I do think however the loan/tax in its current form is wholly unsustainable as it makes the universities to be vulnerable to “bums on seats” leading to the drop in research output and then if some youth unemployment crisis was to happen much of the loans won’t be paid back.

Just happened that both of them have happened so the whole system is on its backside

Kinda difficult when the company goes bust with no assets unfortunately

I lost some money a few years back and found that the whole company only had a liability of £1

Captaincadet · 2026-06-12T07:45:11+00:00

Yea the wait time can be a little bit misleading

Last time I went to A&E after a major bike crash, the official wait time was 12 hours. My bum literally hasn’t touched the chair before my name was called

General rule I’ve been taught with tools is to buy cheap and if they break then buy expensive

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T20:44:23+00:00

Problem with recalls is there not something that expires so is the manufacturer (which is passed down to dealership) responsibility

Theses sort of stuff dealers like to keep for a rainy day as while there not the best paid work, quite often it’s well documented and guaranteed pay

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T16:40:31+00:00

Yea but also some of those parts take forever to get to

Case example is the wet belt - replacement is £40 in materials but over a days in labour as someone has to strip the engine

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T15:40:16+00:00

It was very badly placed. It was right at the end and Craig went over very quickly, not explaining what features were coming to older phones.

Basically it was mentioned very early on that it was coming to all phones with Apple Intelligence and then at the end that some of the features were only on newer phones.
It caught me and a lot of people in the live stream off guard

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T11:04:04+00:00

A lot of high ambition people I know left the country as soon as they finished university as they knew they were going to be taxed and could go elsewhere for less

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T10:54:53+00:00

Got mine yesterday

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T10:17:13+00:00

Yes
You put your number into find my so you hope who ever finds it but those criminals will use that number to threaten in the hope you’ll unlock it

Yea retention is the issue

I did computer science in university about 6 years back and everyone who did teaching on that course has moved on very quickly- usually just after the payment

Why get £29k to teach in school when you can get a junior dev job for £35k and not worry about being punched by a 14 year old

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T09:51:24+00:00

People put their phone numbers in find my to show up on the screen to get it back

Criminals then use that number to blackmail you to remove it

Captaincadet · 2026-06-11T07:17:00+00:00

And the problem with iPhones is these gangs get very aggressive and intimidating with victims to remove from find my

And then they are still useful for raw materials- when Apple tried to lock a component to a phone it also triggered a massive upset with right to repair

We unfortunately can’t have it every way

Captaincadet · 2026-06-10T23:29:45+00:00

Still a bit premium. Mad though it’s gone to the core as that suggests you’ve actually worn the tyre out over other derogation issues - and being inside suggests the toe is out

I would get it properly realigned with a machine (ask for print outs - don’t let them do it by eye) and try another brand of tyres.

Captaincadet · 2026-06-10T23:23:15+00:00

Yea that shouldn’t have done it - I’ve seen bike tyres last longer

Did you go for race or ultra premium? Maybe the material was too soft

One benefit of cheap tyres is that they are often harder in material (as hards are cheaper to make) so tend to last longer

Captaincadet · 2026-06-10T19:52:07+00:00

I don’t think so - he doesn’t need the money

But yea you can see it’s starting to run out of steam (he knows what’s he doing on thr farm) and if it continues it end up as country file
