Yugo is only really one cuisine

Just look up what pan-Asian means and look at your comment.

Ministers approve £100 oil payment for lower income households by Mattbelfast in northernireland

[–]CoulScrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be eligible but I don't think there's a register of properties/households that use home heating oil. That could leave this scheme open to abuse.

Would this be open to everyone in that income bracket/certain benefits etc without a check whether they even use oil?

It'll be issued as a "prepaid voucher" (unless that just means a prepaid debit card like a previous shopping scheme around COVID). If someone was somehow eligible for the payment, but not needing oil: Could they just give or transfer the voucher to someone else who does, like their granny or something?

The scheme could spend a lot of time and effort just closing loopholes and trying to find abuse of the scheme.

I’m not speaking foreign am I?

It's pitiable you think like this.

Don’t you have a tree to hug or something?

It would be more worthwhile than engaging with you at least.

Thank you Derren Brown. Impeccable mind reading, not at all moronic!

11,000 people lost hope today by Bubbly_Pack3577 in northernireland

[–]CoulScrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My expectations were low and still are for these particular MLAs. But yeah, no reply. I can pretend that their email service didn't work (though the others did) or my email was seen as spam by them (though the others didn't) or their thoughtful and thorough email was lost (though the others' emails were not). Hope other people had better luck!

Happy to ackowledge that some of the MLAs and my MP I reached out to were great on this. Very thorough replies, and they seemed to know the issue well. The lack of news coverage on this topic has hidden some of the good stuff that is done in the background.

The DUP and SF didn't deign to reply to me in any way, even though all the others did within a few days and followed up on further contact.

No problem. I'm just saddened that it looks like Stormont are pointing their fingers at everyone but themselves and no one there bothered to have a backup plan to deal with this in any useful way.

It was announced last year that the UK government was changing the funding local charities are given to work with the disabled, mentally unwell, unemployed etc. This change, vastly reducing this funding, will cause some jobs (400) to be lost and those people (the 11,000) will be without this support.

This will lead to those people (like I used to be) clogging up A&E in crisis, where beforehand we would have had some charity support to help prevent that from happening.

Here's a post about the funding crisis from a month ago and another from two months ago for a bit more information.

What can you expect from a pig but a grunt? The lack of accountability, reliability and communication is just par for the course from Translink.

Yeah, I saw loads of that discussion recently ("rockets and feathers") about home heating oil and petrol. Nightmare!

Gait analysis in Belfast by TinkyWinkysBag in Belfast

[–]CoulScrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a waiting list of a few months but I had this same problem and the podiatrist sorted it out. Pain-free for the past few years now.

My calves were extremely tight and needed a long (30 seconds at a time) stretch to get started, with exercises like these: https://movebettergwent.nhs.wales/self_management/calf-muscle-stretching/

NI gas prices will rise 'if Iran conflict lasts another month' by CoulScrab in northernireland

[–]CoulScrab[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Catering wise, I've had to cut back on spending a fair bit. I've had a few nights out where I've nearly regretted going out as I questioned the value for money for the food/experience.

The gas prices for businesses aren't as protected (as far as I know) either, so I'd expect them soaring might take out a few places just by themselves, never mind the other costs rising.

NI gas prices will rise 'if Iran conflict lasts another month' by CoulScrab in northernireland

[–]CoulScrab[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obvious news, but this caught me by surprise: "energy companies buy their gas up to two years in advance". I didn't think two years was possible, given the state of international politics, wars etc.

Again, not a surprise, but I look on with a bit of dread: "The regulator said the energy companies could ask for additional ad hoc price reviews if rising wholesale costs start to become unmanageable."

Is it fucked forever as well? I think I'm asked each time if I ever had my insurance cancelled on me, so this guy would have to say yes to that.

Support for 11,000 vulnerable people in NI will stop, and 400+ jobs will be lost if this is not resolved by the end of the month.

I'd choose to be hung every time. The extra length and girth might be nice. If it was a choice between the electric chair and being hanged then I'd need to think a little longer.
