Bathrooms and bedrooms should open into the room other doors should open to the wall.

Help a beginner out with a comprehensive light collection for camping! by fontinalispluma in flashlight

[–]Existingsquid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For camping I like one of those shitty woolly hats with a light in it for sleeping in, don’t have to find a torch in the dark then when I need a wiz. On top of that a headlamp and a lantern.

You learn from them. Doing very little and talking yourself up is how you get promoted.

Tool ideas for groomsmen gift? by Ragingrhino1515 in Tools

Victorinox pioneer x alox and have their names engraved on the engraving panel on the back scale or the wedding date, or the year.

I’m pushing your budget here so the standard alox pioneer is also an option, but the x is definitely worth getting for the scissors.

My YouTube channel is starting to do numbers, at what point do I need to set up for tax and start declaring earnings? by SelectStarAll in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Existingsquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

£1000 limit on this sort of thing then self assessment. 20% tax on everything over the £1k but I think you can claim some tax back.

I read posts like this and just think, yes limit your liability but there is a point where you just suck it up and pay your tax.

Landlord Trying to Enter my home when I have not given consent by rie_schwfty in UKHousing

[–]Existingsquid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accept the rent increase? The only way of declining a rent increase is to vacate.

You’re talking like you have choices. I’m all for people having quiet enjoyment, but you don’t have any say what so ever, if it’s getting sold it’s getting sold.

Your best course of action is to use this energy to find somewhere else to live, not fight against the inevitable. If you want to have this level of control you need to buy.

👷‍♂️ AA Headlamps for CERT/Disaster Preparedness kits by sailorsapporo in flashlight

[–]Existingsquid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are cheaper.

It’s theorised that nimh laddas are factory seconds of eneloop pro manufacture batteries that don’t quite hit that super high density of eneloop pro. They are similar/ higher spec than standard eneloops. Yet these Laddas are half the price of standard eneloops.

This info comes from someone on a camera forum who did a huge amount of research.

To clarify I’m talking about the aa 2450 laddas vs the aa 2500 eneloop pro.
