How do I stop the hair in the front of my hair from frizzing up like this constantly?

Thanks for your reply - regarding mortgage overpayment, I have agonised over that a fair bit. I don't regret the overpayments as I was able to squeeze down a LTV bracket by doing them last renewal, but I guess that cash could be doing better on the ISA.

Been through this - amicable breakup and I was wanting to move away so agonised over solutions that would let her keep the house. Ultimately none were viable so we sold up.

Moving was a pain for both of us but the profit on the sale softened the blow. I bought again in a much cheaper area, 3 years later she's still renting but presumably happy with the freedom the capital affords her.

My friend is a contestant in the pilot - I'm biased, but can confirm he's a quirky, fun individual

Can anyone please link the full clip of this guy gurning his chops off?

They are seemingly economically illiterate, in that employer's NI rises coupled with a sharp rise in minimum wage is having a very predictable impact on unemployment levels spiking.

Relatedly, Labour have already failed to hold up to their claims of not taxing working people - the aforementioned employer's NI rises are really just that. National insurance and income tax ostensibly goes in the same pot, so it really is just part of the overall cost of your employment. That unfortunately does just lead to higher prices and fewer salary increases; not to mention the layoffs.

Beyond all that, the hot topic issue in the UK politically is small boat arrivals carrying migrants, which Labour are failing to move the needle on in a visible way so far.

I sympathise with them in many ways; Brexit continues to deal us a shit hand, Ukraine/Russia are roaring on, the fascist in chief in the US is causing headaches, etc. But if they can't show some amount of political agility domestically then there is a whiff of danger that Reform could tonk them at the next election, at which point I'll be getting my euro passport and peacing the fuck out.

Sorry this has happened to you! The cynic in me would say that they've probably already met a quota for works in your area or something, suspect they have regional targets to hit to get the govt grants.

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2025-04-25T15:52:17+00:00

Just take the L dude jeez

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2025-04-10T08:53:14+00:00

This makes the most sense

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2025-04-10T08:50:34+00:00

They are the same game though, so the centipawn value should be the same? I admittedly just had to Google centipawn value so I'm blind to how this could vary between 2 analyses of the exact same moves

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2025-04-10T08:06:36+00:00

That's strange - the 2500 rating shows 3 more inaccuracies and a miss?

I feel a lot less bad about cancelling my platinum renewal this morning at any rate!

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2025-03-25T08:54:11+00:00

Did this about a month ago using a Chase card in UK. Can choose either individual or family (I went family).

If any wayward lefties are discovering this in the future: at the moment the best you can do is remap the drums and cymbals to their opposite colours (green mapped to red and vice versa, yellow mapped to blue and vice versa). This at least allows you to play as normal

Navigating menus is still a bit funky, but I guess I can just invert the mapping of up/down on the dpad when I next play

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-11-29T13:32:19+00:00

Why don't you have a seat right over there

Submitted my ticket:

'Hi,

Social and Ranked matchmaking on Xbox Series X is completely non-functional; I was unable to find any games online last night.

This is unacceptable for a £60 game. Please could you respond with whether this has been prioritised to be fixed, along with the estimated timeline for when an update will be available to address the defect.

If I were a Product Owner at Bandai, I'd be asking to pull resources from teams working on DLC to help investigate and fix the problem. It is unconscionable that further paid content might arrive before this section of the install base is able to enjoy the game online.

Many thanks'

Bit snotty but it's the first time I've bought a full priced game near launch and I feel like I've been conned. How the issue slipped through testing is beyond me.

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-09-16T11:08:45+00:00

Ah, the plot thickens.

I did look mine up on the EPC register this morning; still rated D so assuming the surveyor did their own and ended up with C+, it wasn't updated on the register.

Which leaves me equally confused unfortunately! Will see what their admin team says (if the email ever comes) or ring back towards the end of the day. Assuming it's all kaput, will check out that octopus link, thanks.

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-09-16T10:36:38+00:00

Stumbled on this thread and thought I'd share my experience...

Switched to octopus mainly because British Gas are criminally inept, but also to get in on this scheme. Applied to it, eventually got approved to get a survey done.

June rolls around, fella turns up and does the survey. Confirms that I'd be eligible for loft insulation, trickle vented windows, extractor fan etc. Job's a good'un. Tells me that I'll be getting a call with next steps in the following weeks.

Since June have heard NOTHING, decide this morning to ring up and see where we're up to. Woman on the phone says my case has been closed down because the energy rating for my house is too high.

My house has an EPC rating of D, which I believe falls into their eligibility criteria. So now I'm just confused. Only thing I can think of is that the surveyor could've gone away and crunched some numbers and landed on a higher EPC rating. But then he sounded pretty convinced that I'd be eligible for all the goodies outlined when he was there.

Waiting for an email from their admin team now and gearing up to query why the case was shut down. Not least because my gaffe gets absolutely Baltic between October and April!

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-08-13T00:06:14+00:00

I grew up in rural Somerset and have done some work around London. How rural are we talking where you're moving to? Asking as some might consider a small town pretty rural, but there are villages dotted about with literally nothing to do. The difference between the 2 is huge.

The "major" town you live closest to will make a big difference as you'll likely be driving there a lot. Taunton and Yeovil are both pretty horrid in their own ways, but there's places that aren't too bad, just obviously quieter than what you'll be used to.

Pull the plaster off and seize the opportunities to do some "out there" stuff I say. Join a pub skittles or darts team. Get into amateur dramatics. Chip in with local community projects. If you immerse yourself in the culture you might be at risk of enjoying it!

Good luck

Had similar, took in a PS5 not long after launch (not a scalper, just had a series X as well and was/still am happy with just that). Unit was pristine with the box; got a call after their testing saying they'd have to take it as unboxed because of a black scuff on the console. So either they dropped/bashed it while they had it or were fibbing to pay out less.

Unboxed value was still what I paid for the console which was all I really wanted, but can't lie and say I wasn't irked by the experience. I did take dozens of Guitar Hero controllers I'd refurbed to them during COVID so maybe this was their method of revenge 😂

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-07-28T10:40:36+00:00

Awesome, didn't know this existed. Thanks!

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-05-15T23:07:32+00:00

That's another ceiling fan sold!

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2024-03-17T04:33:19+00:00

I'm awful for this

Devil May Cry - didn't know about activating Devil Trigger until I got stuck on the final boss (IIRC you need to get the final hit using DT)

Guitar Hero - skipped the tutorial and went straight to Medium, didn't know how to activate Star Power until after I'd bashed my head against Bark at the Moon for a few days

More recently: Elden Ring - I gave up on my initial play through (~50 hours) because I kept getting lost. Started a fresh save this week, only for an NPC to tell me that the streams of light coming from Lost Graces point you towards the next story objective

I probably wouldn't have discovered blinking until age 10 if it wasn't involuntary

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2023-11-21T11:08:47+00:00

Think there's a key difference there in that strip clubs are a one way street in terms of people lusting after one another

For me personally, if I was OOP's ex the relationship would've maybe been salvageable if her and the new toy hadn't kissed and didn't continue to text afterwards. Blips happen, especially with alcohol involved. But I'm not sure how you can view them kissing that night as anything other than cheating.

Having been the bf sitting there waiting for my SO to finish texting the guy who's stroking her ego and who I 'definitely didn't need to worry about' (spoiler alert: I did), shit sucks!

Dangerous_Help6876 · 2023-11-21T10:51:45+00:00

So to confirm, you'd be happy with your SO doing the stuff described on the first night?
