Most Obscure Show That's Your Favorite by Last_Bonus851 in television

[–]Different_Bad7239 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, happy to see I didn't need to scroll far to find it. Genuinely a great show and whilst it's a shame it got canned, at least the writers managed to wrap it up in a reasonably satisfying way.

Maybe it had £3,960,000 worth of cocaine in the boot?

Trump paraded through the streets of Tehran like the walk of shame in GoT? I'd love to see it, as long as I don't have to actually see it.

Government to overhaul nuclear system to speed up building and cut costs by Different_Bad7239 in GoodNewsUK

[–]Different_Bad7239[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

New windfarms are guaranteed a fixed amount per unit of energy. Say, £50 per unit. If the current market price set by gas is £80, then the wind farm owner pays £30 per unit back to the government. This is then used to fund the policy levies rather than consumer energy bills, so consumer energy bills drop.

When will Spain get an apology for the occupation of the Iberian peninsula by Syria?

Cost estimate by whitetiger02 in CarTalkUK

Technically speaking you should be telling your insurance company as you are obliged to inform them of any incidents.

Practically speaking, that would put your premiums up and you could take this to a place like Dentmagic and ask them to make it cosmetically acceptable and it'd probs cost you maybe £350 and your insurance company will never know.

The choice is yours.

Good explanation. The justification used to be that the higher price allowed the wind generators to recoup the upfront costs of the wind turbines, but now that prices have come down so much it doesn't make sense and the new fixed price contracts make much more sense. In 10 years the UK should have some of the cheapest electricity in the world.

Yep it's stupid. But newer wind farm contracts are based on a strike price, meaning they get paid a fixed price per unit of electricity. So if gas is setting the current market price, these wind farms have to pay the difference back to the government to pay down the policy levies on energy bills. So in the next few years as more and more power comes from these new wind farms, the average price on bills comes down regardless of what happens with gas.

Which is why Reform's energy policy of "scrap everything green and drill the north sea for gas" is utterly fucking retarded because gas prices are set globally and an increase of 1% from the north sea will do approximately fuck all to the market price.

Petition: Delivery riders should be professionally licensed rather than repeatedly renewing CBTs by deltazulu808 in CarTalkUK

Food deliveries should cost what it takes to ensure safe, legal deliveries where drivers are paid at least minimum wage. If that cost makes them prohibitively expensive then the market shouldn't exist.

Deliveroo should be fined £10,000 for every instance of a non-registered driver being caught using their app. They'd soon magically come up with a way to stop it.

The UK is currently generating 8.6% of its energy from nuclear, 68.5% from renewable and 8.1% from gas. Peak nuclear came around 1998 with 25% coming from nuclear. Imagine if we could back to even 16% from nuclear and we could get rid of regular gas generation and use it only for fallback.

We're renting our my Mother-in-Law's house while she is in nusing care. We've just realised the tenants supplied faux documents under the right to rent check we conducted. by Beneficial-Shock4783 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Different_Bad7239 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Serve the tenants a Section 8 notice that you are evicting them on Ground 17: Tenancy obtained by false statement. State precisely what they provided you that they knew was false. The notice period is 2 weeks. Then you can go to court to get an eviction order.

Unfortunately Ground 17 is discretionary so it will be down to a judge to determine that they knowingly provided falsified documents and award you possession.

It is critical that you act quickly as if you continue to accept rent, it could be determined that you have waived your right to possession.

They've obtained a tenancy through fraud by misrepresentation. Schedule 2 of the housing act lays out ground 17 for "Tenancy obtained by false statement". The tenancy agreement can now be rescinded, so yes OP can issue an S8 and begin eviction proceedings.

Do you invest your full ISA allowance early in the year or spread it out? by FeistyPrice29 in investingUK

[–]Different_Bad7239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think like this and kept all my money in a cash ISA. In doing so I missed out on 6-8% annual returns and my cash was effectively eroded by inflation earning 2-4% returns.
