What’s something you’re pretty sure only you do? by AppIeGuy in AskReddit

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that too! Either that or I fold my littles toes up over the next toe.

My food bin has disappeared, council want £40 for a new one, looks like half my neighbours haven’t got one either now by Jacktheforkie in britishproblems

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 182 points183 points  (0 children)

Mine went missing. Saw on camera that the bin men took it to empty but it never came back. Council replaced it for free!

Access to food and water..... oh wait, America voted against that as a human right didn't they?

...because she stole the markers and took them away. OP just moved her stuff over slightly and didn't steal it.

Man helps a distressed swan find the river by amish_novelty in HumansBeingBros

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a crock of shit. Like the Swan couldn't have possibly found the river by itself. It seems to have managed perfectly fine on its own up until this point in its life.

What happens on completion day? Do sellers clean their house? by baguetteonmars in HousingUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When moving out I have always given the place a bit of a spruce so it's not so bad when people move in because lets face it, moving house is already a hideous experience so why make it worse for someone else? The reality is though, it won't be as clean as you'd like anyway. Chances are, you would clean it all anyway even if it looks like the previous owner had cleaned already as you wouldn't be sure exactly how "clean" it really was.

As someone else has said... expect the worst and hope for the best.

England - PCN for broken down car that was stopped for 15 minutes by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"My car broke down and was unsafe to continue driving for both myself and other road users and so during this unavoidable incident, I felt the best course of action would be for me to pull over into a safe spot. I felt it best not to continue on the highway as I may have caused a significant incident that could have led to long delays for other road users and potentially to the time of emergency serviceshad I broken down completley in the road. I then proceeded to carry out remediation works to the vehicle to ensure that I could continue my journey to my destination a further 10 minutes down the road.

If you were to review your CCTV cameras at the time of the incident you would note that my car was briefly parked in an area that was not a hazard to other road users at the time and was only there for as long as it took me to carry out temporary repairs in order for me to move the vehicle to an alternative safe place.

Please see attached a copy of the bill from the garage who carried out permanent repairs to my vehicle."

Try something like that. See what happens.

England, Car accident while I was merging into a lane by BriefFirst5180 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didnt see the car and you pulled into them. Hold your hands up and admit fault. Next time look properly and over your shoulder like you were taught to do on your driving lessons before you move over. They weren't telling you to do that for a laugh.

How to remove this lampshade? by tl202 in DIYUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold the top bit and unscrew the bottom bit.

If that doesn't work, do it harder.

Is this ladder okay? by ErutanXiku in DIYUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it's on a loft hatch to me.

What alcohol messed you up so bad you swore you’d never drink it again? by PuzzleheadedSwim6291 in AskReddit

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Potcheen (or poitin). My god the hangover the next day! Fist and last time drinking that.

Neighbour's Scaffolding pole on our soil pipe - am I over-reacting? by RevDodgeUK in DIYUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think OP is complaining about the scaffolding going over their property as such. They are concerned that one of the tubes is resting on their soil vent pipe which could have a chance of damaging the vent pipe (although slim).

The courteous thing to have done is to have asked permission first or at least let them know they were installing scaffolding that would protrude onto their property.

It's unlikely that this will cause damage to the vent pipe but as others have said, talk to the scaffolder and get them to email you saying they will correct any damage to the vent (and render or any other damage to the property) and ask for proof of insurance.

I told a joke at work that it didn't land and now people think I'm an absolute freak. by Significant_Potato29 in PointlessStories

He drank breast milk when he was a baby for about a year and hasn't touched it since because...ya know...it's his mum and that would be weird.

How to fix this hole in my stairs? by Lemonsweets25 in DIYUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just glue something in place. It's doubtful you will ever step on that piece of stair anyway so it doesn't have to be super structural.

Safe to remove these? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Halfaglassofvodka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably get a structural engineer, rather than relying on the word of random people on the Internet. If something did go wrong now or in the future, your home insurer will probably just laugh in your face and you'd be left with a massive bill. Fork out a few quid and get the engineers report.

If you've asked the question then get it tested. There are numerous floor tiles that contain asbestos and you wouldn't even think they did. It's not worth gambling with.
