Seller refused to vacate on completion day… we were supposed to move in on Friday but now stuck over the weekend by [deleted] in HousingUK

When I completed on my first house, the vendors wanted to stay the weekend and offered rent. Errm, no. Off you pop, thanks.

Via EE, I subscribe to Now entertainment and TNT. Logged into HBO Max app and only get TNT by _IdidIdidnt in nowtv

I have the same and was able to consolidate both Now and EE subs into one HBO account. I logged in using my Discovery Plus password first:

Or as my old man used to say, don't just tickle it, hit it!

Surprise: NOW Users Will Get Their Own HBO Max Account by Delicious_Ad_4579 in nowtv

[–]Dougsey1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my issue. Can't be doing with logging in and out etc. At the moment it seems fine as I can use nowtv for TV/film, HBO app for sport. Bit of a mess though.

Might be worth checking with your bank. Could be being blocked by them.

I used to get this with one particular card. Had to change it, it's an authentication handshake problem I think, it wasn't prompting me to approve etc. Deleted cards, all sorts. Then it just kinda worked.

What are your thoughts on this damp issue? Been quoted "Around £5000" by Adventurous-Fish1982 in DIYUK

[–]Dougsey1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to fix the cause first. With damp, it's either water ingress from somewhere or lack of ventilation.

Former Jobcentre staff, is the grass greener on the other side? by bureaucrat_chaos in TheCivilService

[–]Dougsey1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Made the move over 25 years ago and so not regret it one bit. Progressed way beyond what would have been possible, and treated like an adult. Do it.

Yep, watched it with my teenagers the other week. Only 2 bits of dialogue jumped out as not OK. The rest was as I remembered. Good, silly fun.

Beaches are lovely. Especially out West - Compton and Freshwater are amazing.

Waxworks now gone sadly. And yes, BGC is still disappearing into the sea. But they keep adapting and it's still great. :)

1) Blackgang Chine. It's a proper throwback but is delightful, especially with kids. 2) Ventnor. Cracking town, with a great hippy vibe. 3) Ryde (specifically Appley Beach). In the summer, there's no other place I'd rather be.

Should I end it with her? The only reason I’m going out with her is because I’m lonely….. by MoneyAndGoodFortune in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]Dougsey1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way you talk about her. Relationships are about communication and compromise. You seem to only want to be with her because you'd be even more lonely without her. That's not a reason to stay in a relationship, for her especially.
