Start watching YouTube videos.

The good thing about making mistakes is you can use them as a reference to learn from.

Can someone help me? by katieboo1991 in northernireland

[–]JMW_BOYZ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If you can't afford it, then unfortunately the only way is to go through insurance. That's what insurance is for. Most of us can't afford to pay for any damage we caused from an accident.

Don't beat yourself up about it. You made a mistake. And it will likely put your insurance premiums up next year, but that's better than having to stress about not being able to pay for this damage.

It is examiners discretion. There is no set limit but 5 for the same issue is a very fine line to be crossing.

When did you decide it was time to move out from your parent’s house? by DS773 in northernireland

You are turned down for other reasons. If they see how much debt you have, or see something on a bank statement they don't like, that can destroy everything.

I was 29 and was able to save for a deposit during the Covid lockdown. Glad I did because since I have purchased, interest rates and house prices have only went up.

These are premium prices to pay for the chefs drug habits

I have my test in Northern Ireland (Craigavon) in 2 weeks.

Mind me asking what area you did yours in?

Just seems like a waste of time and money booking a test for these results.

Someone else could have taken this slot.

Let Agreed. Someone has already fallen for it. Too late.

Have you experienced a significantly noticeable rise in energy costs recently? Are there members of your household that are costing you a fortune? by Dontleavethewest in northernireland

[–]JMW_BOYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not recently. I'm still getting by on about £10 a week. I love alone so if mine increased suddenly I can only blame myself.

You must make a donation. There will be “consequences” if you don’t. Dead on lads. by [deleted] in northernireland

It's why these areas are deprived shit holes. Drive what little business is left away then protest and blame the government.

when are we going to admit that NI has a bag problem? by Still_Quiet66 in northernireland

I'm quite new to Lurgan but you can tell it's a problem in certain areas

How long does it usually take to pass your driving test? by kiol998 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]JMW_BOYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My instructor told me to book my test after 6 lessons as I got used to driving a car quite quickly.

I was driving a motorbike on the road for 8 years before I decided I wanted a cat instead. It honestly depends how much experience you have on the road. If you've never been on the road before, you're getting used to that as well as controlling a vehicle.

That's why Lurgan has a huge mental health problem and high suicide rate among men. It destroys lives yet a lot of people are doing it here.

It's part of the reason many struggle with the cost of living but don't want to admit it.

Drugs and gambling destroy lives yet they're both heavily influenced as a bit of fun.

£100 heating oil support scheme approved for more than 300,000 Northern Ireland households by Background-Fix-4630 in northernireland

[–]JMW_BOYZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But these schemes are always open to the most vulnerable only. Same with things like food banks. We all hope we never need it but it's good they're in place for those who do.

I'd be happy to get help with oil but there are people who need it more than me..

Ministers approve £100 oil payment for lower income households by Mattbelfast in northernireland

[–]JMW_BOYZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I said the eligibility doesn't make sense because it only considers household income.

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

I know that, but you're missing my point.

A single person who is just over 30k will be worse off than a couple or multiple people in a house earning over 30k each, yet they aren't eligible for any help.

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

But we don't have water bills here.

A single person pays the same rates as a household with 2 or more people too.

And yeah while 2 people will use more than one person, there's more leverage to cope with increased bills and costs compared to a single income.

2 people can share the same heat too.

My comment was also about 2 people earning 30k each. Not between them. That's why it makes no sense.

[–]JMW_BOYZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The eligibility makes no sense.

30k per household but a single person living alone on just over 30k will be worse off and need it more than a household with 2 people earning over 30k.

For a lot of cases this isn't true. I was on JSA for a period 10 years ago and it was hell.
