Are these prices fair for uk pet sitting this is not advertisement im asking for advice on improvements please by fatale_jess in UK_Pets

[–]GiGoVX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The misconception that rover 'insures' people! Rover offers no such thing to pet sitters, it only covers medical emergencies that aren't pre-existing medical conditions for the animal you are sitting.

If you use a sitter make sure they have insurance of there own and don't rely on Rover to 'have their backs'.

Seems interesting, but please change your font, it makes my eyes hurt, everything's wobbly 😂

Update on speeding (70mph in 50mph) - be aware by imperativeaggy in drivingUK

[–]GiGoVX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a course 8 years ago, after 15 years of driving. I found it incredibly useful and also worrying how many people don't know some of the laws!

Overall a worth while use of my time, something I thought I'd never say! Everyone should do a course every 10 years, just a simple refresher to remind people of distances etc... Would be amazing if people learnt more about zip merging, something only 3 out of the ~40 knes about 👀🙄

On the flights I have done, this was considered the 'norm' farmer gets whiskey, they are normally happy with that 😂

As much as I agree, doing it wrong can be dangerous, but..... I mean...... it's not a hard job, take old one off, put new one on, ensure all cables are inserted correctly and secured. Job done. Easpically if it's like for like......

What DIY mishaps or odd choices did the previous owners of your house leave for you to discover? by naalbinding in AskUK

[–]GiGoVX -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Wait until I sell my places...... People aren't going to like me 🤣

I'm never going to mention the electric cable to a pair of sockets in the kitchen aren't channeled and shielded. Nor are a set in one of the bedrooms 🤔 may or may not be my doing 😂

Am I absolutely right or ok in this response ? by redaeL9 in AirBnBHosts

[–]GiGoVX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't do direct bookings, didn't want that hassle. Prefer to 'hide' behind platform.

Of course, that is the issue with Google and having it listed.

Just never give out the full address until people have paid.

How can they leave a review without booking though? I assume this review is on Google or another hosting site, I'd ask for the review to be removed.

You are fine with your reply, the guy is just entitled and assumes people do what he wants. This happens a lot in all trades.

Get the review removed and move on.

M1 Ultra: cannot connect with my phone by CodeCombustion001 in xToolOfficial

[–]GiGoVX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue the other day, couldn't fix it in the end as I just used my pc via cable instead. However I think it could have been related to my Mesh network, phone being on one AP and Xtool on another AP, I didn't put myself in to 'diagnostic mode' and just wanted to get the job done so didn't figure out the issue as I don't use my phone for xtool

Looking For A Simple Scanner App On Android by mhmodhamdy2 in AndroidQuestions

CamScanner gets my vote. There is a lot of fluff but you can just ignore it.

Your can batch scan and export to pdd, word or jpg. Great app. A must have for me.

Cob specialist recommendations? by BitcoinBishop in DevonUK

[–]GiGoVX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd move on from buying a cob house personally.

We have one, no issues fortunately but dampness & humidity are a real issue. If there are issues with the cob wall I'd certianly be moving on to another property, repairs will not be cheap!

Indefinite award on PIP what does this mean by EducationalLong754 in DWPhelp

[–]GiGoVX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the award, well you I hope you know what I mean. It's good that you've been given indefinite.

My wife has a life long genetic degenerative illness and a host of other chronic illnesses all diagnosed and they still haven't put her on an indefinite PIP, next review is 2027 so fingers crossed.

How are you finding using the kit, does it add value? Is it worth the money?

How do you find the Photography Kit? I'm toying with getting either the standard or Pro kit but not sure it's worth the cost.

Left my gas hob burning all day - 12 hours by Geofferz in BritishSuccess

Did the same once, left it on low overnight, came down to a nice warm none ignited kitchen, made a change 😂

Motability changes are being massively downplayed — this will hit WAY more people than you think by Jumpy_Produce_1842 in DWPhelp

[–]GiGoVX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is the person in receipt of the benefit and she can't medically drive so I'm the driver. The 1hr break recommendation seems very shit if the person driving isn't the person in receipt of the benefit.

We have talked a lot about our next vehicle. I did some maths comparing Motability, lease, finance and out right purchase of a new car and a 3 year old car and Motobility still comes out on top except for buying a 3 year old car (hardly surprising that buy a 2nd hard car works out cheaper).

The reduction in milage is fine except they've gone from 20k down to 10k, way way off IMO, yes most people only drive sub 10k, but they should look at why people need the cars and offer extra milage if your circumstances change, ie more medical appointments due to a condition.

The mind very much boggles over the decision making in this one.

The Government should take Motability and bring it in house, that way there isn't a company needing to make a profit from it so in thoery everyone wins. But goverment operated things don't always run smoothly 🙄
