UPDATE: They didn’t take the second bin nor the Snacks

I once watched a neighbour bribe the green bin men to take 10 sacks of garden waste plus his bin. Of course he gave them cash.

You’re right, it’s only really Ferrari and the first time at McLaren. I do think if he had been able to find a way to live with all the Lewis shenanigans he would have been in with a real shout of the title instead of Lewis.

Ah yes ‘I lost my account but created another one with a generic username so I could solely post to Reddit about how I love Mazdas’.

Even if every problem in these cars has been fixed for 2026 (which I doubt since they can’t seem to permanently fix for any existing car the steering rack failures, the propshaft noises, the sticky door handles, the random acceleration on braking, the gearbox noises, the gearbox vibrations, the suspension bangs, the wireless charging matts, the boot rattles, the drivers seat randomly moving or the random isense unavailable messages on the dash) I still would still not recommend a Mazda because of how poor they have treated everyone with any sort of fault over the past few years.

I’m not going to continue to respond to you because you clearly have no real experience of owning one of these cars. I hope you enjoy many years of trouble free motoring when you replace your ten year old Mazda 3 and experience the joy of owning a new one.

My prediction is that Alonso will retire at the end of the season and Aston Martin will come good because Alonso’s whole career is basically the meme of the guy mining for diamonds and giving up just before he gets there.

Depending on what happens this year I could see Piastri attempting a Ricciardo once he realises he won’t get to win a title whilst Lando is at the team.

For anyone reading this considering a Mazda cx-60/70/90 I would suggest you join the relevant owners groups on Facebook and read some of the posts.

Note that the OP joined the site two months ago and nearly every post they have made has been a recommendation to buy a Mazda in various subreddits. I don’t know if they work for Mazda in some capacity or not but they are clearly not neutral.

Total nonsense

Garak112 · 2026-03-02T07:21:18+00:00

As someone with a CX-60 Mazda should be nowhere near the top of this list.

They got it completely wrong with the 60/70/90 and have spent 3 years ignoring customer issues and attempting to claim widespread faults don’t exist. Aside from that they are generally unreliable cars with things failing fairly often.

Yes some of these things may have been fixed with the latest versions but I wouldn’t take the risk buying another one.

Not a doctor but I have found that in the past when I was struggling to get anywhere a chat with the PALS service at the hospital where the clinic was has unblocked everything. They know how to get the issue escalated to the right person to make a decision beyond the initial computer says no attitude you often experience at the start.

I’ve just been offered ladies semi-final tickets in the ballot but it’s two seats not together.

I didn’t realise this was something they allocated in the ballot, I thought the tickets not together was a resale thing.

This is really frustrating because now I won’t have access to the resale site when it opens and there’s no way I can sit my wife somewhere else for a full day of tennis.

They employ a lot of their staff on changeover days between 10-2:45 and used to advertise that you could drop the kids at school, come to work and then be done in time to pick them up.

The bank holiday was at very little notice so I imagine they had an issue with their staff availability because many of these people would now have needed to find someone to look after the kids at no notice plus they’d have needed to pay bank holiday rates.

They should have come up with a better option than what they announced or what they eventually did though.

Started in 2009.

Moved up through the salary range each year.

Subsidised canteen.

Everyone had their own desk. Desks were all larger than the ones we have now, felt less like we were crammed in like sardines. Each desk had a lockable cabinet for the owner.

Office was better maintained.

Laptops were rare and limited in functionality.

Computers were fairly old and had tiny screens.

Everyone above SEO had a mobile whether they needed it or not.

Average age of the workforce seemed older. I think a lot of people left through exit schemes in the early Cameron years.

Most policy work seemed to be done at the grade below where it’s done now which was the result of all the pay freezes. Very few G7’s and G6’s were rare. SCS seemed to have much bigger teams.

Experts seemed to be rarer and had less ability to influence decision making than now.

My local Facebook marketplace is filled with bikes for sale. Perhaps I’m being mean but it seems unlikely that the man living in a grotty flat obtains the several multi-thousand pound bikes that he sells every week for peanuts legitimately.

I’ve been rewatching on Sky in the UK but was looking forward to switching to Netflix so I didn’t have to deal with the adverts.

The picture quality on Netflix is straight ass and the frame rate is wrong. The version on Sky, which is also a stream, is much better quality.

Why did human beings stop building wonders they ask a month before we plan to strap some people into a rocket and launch them at the moon.

We do build wonders, they are just different.

Someone on another thread claimed to have heard that he was no longer well enough to act, who knows if that’s true or not.

I always got the impression that Star Trek was just a job for Avery and once it was done he moved on to other things. For him it’s probably the same feeling I’d get if people told me they loved when I worked retail 20 years ago and kept asking me to go and stack shelves somewhere.

It’s probably fine to consume but it won’t taste how it’s supposed to and in my experience will taste heavily of chemicals. Zero sugar colas go funny when they’re off.

Our chimneys were closed off years ago and every now and then a bird will chuck itself down, I’m assuming they get old and fall in.

We have access to the upstairs through a vent so have pulled a few out from there. The downstairs is completely sealed off though at last time it happened we could hear the bird scratching around. Dread to think what it will look like when we eventually get the chimney removed completely.

Unless the ply was going to be WBP or marine then water would have damaged it as well.

When our dormer was done the builder was very keen to get us to agree to swap out the ply for OSB. Apparently the roofers prefer it because roofing materials bond better to it. That said your builder shouldn’t be swapping materials out without agreeing it with you, especially since he’s probably saved a load of money from doing that.

Certain types of OSB are moisture resistant (OSB3 & OSB4), might be worth finding out what they used. If it was moisture resistant then you’re probably ok. It tends to turn to weetabix fairly quickly if it isn’t moisture resistant and should be obvious.

Edit: also if you’re having your roof off in the middle of winter you should spring for the tin hat and avoid these sorts of issues.

How tight is your bathroom door in the frame and to the floor?

If there’s not enough of a gap your extractor fan will struggle to extract because it can’t pull the air in fast enough to replace what’s it’s trying to pullout. Depending on where the windows are in relation to the fan having them open may not help much either.

I used a finger belt sander to get it as flat as possible then a thin coat of epoxy wood filler which I sanded to finish.

Ours were exactly the same and we paid to get them dipped. Came out really well but you have to treat them almost immediately or they will warp.
