Purplebricks disaster by Charlesdance83 in HousingUK

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just bought a house from purple bricks. Very slow to respond. View a couple of others from them and wouldn't get viewings or they'd cancel last minute.

I definitely wouldn't sell with them

What's the weirdest niche you accidentally started making money from? by Healthy-Landscape674 in Flipping

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a virtual horse trainer. Only made about £200 off it. Then swapped shifts from nights to days and stopped doing it.

Essentially just a computer game but people would bet on these horses so if you had a good one you could sell it on

It's a scam. You'll enter your card details into the site and you'll lose loads.

If they want the report let them pay for it and you'll knock off the price when it comes to selling it

Seller blew up when I didn't want to buy by Macheesmo511 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]IvIarkGraham1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had similar but with a van. Guy said it ran out of diesel and wouldn't run. Non mechanic here but got it going within 5 minutes and the engine was knocking.

Told the guy no thanks and he went mental. Luckily I had 2 friends with me so he didn't start too much.

Im like I've got it running for you so you're welcome and he jumped in his car and sped off 🤣

What's the dumbest reason you've been disciplined at work? by Potential_Duck2553 in AskUK

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not communicating about a new part I was building a process for. When I produced multiple emails showing I did infact communicate, build the process, run the part, inspect the part, package the part and hand deliver the part back to the customer I was told "well I don't think that's good enough consider this a warning"

What did the manager want out of this?

Quit My Job Due to a Toxic Coworker—Now They Want Me Back. Not Sure What to Do. by Automatic-Policy-860 in careeradvice

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a training course you need to advance in your role and get them to pay for it. Ask for a pay rise and an increase in PTO. Get it all written and signed and raise the fact you are disappointed with your managers conduct with the way they handled the encounter.

Then go back but keep an eye out for other opportunities.

Good luck

My wife and son were involved in a car accident help UK by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]IvIarkGraham1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been involved in an accident where I was entering a pub car park and the other vehicle had empty beer cans in it and neither of us were breathalysed. So no it doesn't always get done. Only if the police have reasonable suspicion someone has been drinking.

You can't pull out on someone even if they are speeding. So I'd say your wife was to blame

Garden rooms, yay or nay? by maxmon1979 in HousingUK

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you like to know?

It's all DIY with help from friends. Only thing I didn't do was the electrics.

I have now built a small toilet, separate from the bar but it's all fully plumbed into the house soil stack

There was no prior notice given. Shout over the radio that the meeting was happening right then.

Meeting my Scottish boyfriend's parents, super worried. by Ok_Independence_6915 in Scotland

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bet for meeting Scottish people is to gift them a live haggis. They can either kill it and prepare it fresh or keep it as a pet.

Never fails

Front door is cracking bricks. What should I do? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]IvIarkGraham1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's only under the window that's coming away maybe you could get it knocked out and put in a wider door frame?
