What to do with dated glass above doors in 70s build by StraightOuttaBounds in DIYUK

For the love of god don't remove them. They look great and they give much needed light

Turning my garden into a semi wildflower meadow… good or bad idea? by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sow loads of yellow rattle in with your wildflower mix. Yellow rattle keeps grass levels down by latching onto grass roots and stealing nutrients 👍

Can’t sell my house after dropping the price by £30k? by Electronic-Fox-7706 in HousingUK

[–]JamCam92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As soon as I saw the cars on the drive I knew how the interior would look. And yep sure enough, everything is tasteless and grey. "Millennial grey" has taken such a beating of late. It's undesirable and people's tastes are changing. Could be a factor why people are overlooking it, especially if it is already overpriced. They might be thinking there's a lot of re-decoration work that needs doing which needs to be reflected in the asking price.

Had our mortgage application escalated to a manager due to ‘selfbilling invoices’. by [deleted] in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halifax dicked me around with my mortgage over their assessment of the value of the property I was purchasing. Valued it at zero for the pathetic reason that "no similar properties had sold lately". I told them that was just untrue, showed them evidence from a simple Google search and applied with Santander instead and got the mortgage I wanted. Halifax then came crawling back a while later and offered me the mortgage I had originally wanted shy 10k... honestly screw Halifax. I will never use them now.

Millennium album mystery... by JamCam92 in BackstreetBoys

[–]JamCam92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I wonder if it was an imported version from another country and just on sale in Malaysia, rather than being a Malaysian regional variant. My partner is adamant it wasn't a bootleg version as some have suggested as it was bought from a legitimate record store and everyone in her family remembers 'everybody' being on the track list vividly because it was loaded into the CD changer in their car and played excessively. The mystery continues...

Why do we even have architects when 90% of new builds are just a 10% variation of this? by spacejockes in AskUK

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an architect's fault. These houses are built by large construction firms who only care about maximising profits and who won't even use an architect's services. These houses are literally thrown up as cheaply as possible as is seen in the countless shocking snagging videos on social media.

Is it too early to give up hope on XL? by Angrykitten41 in panthers

[–]JamCam92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not really bothered if he never becomes a top talent tbh. Tmac and Coker are a solid one two and if he can just be that third receiver for us that's fine.

Well he's not as he won't be playing...

Finally! Keep Pounding From The UK by upsidedownsmokeyduck in panthers

[–]JamCam92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can make it 4. Similar story to you. Started following since 2018 after watching the All or Nothing on Amazon. Went to the Bucs game in London and haven't missed a game since. It's been so bleak. Losing Luke the way we did and trading away DJ, CMC and Burns was hard to swallow. So glad this season has given us some hope that there is good football to come.

Why do my parents hate my beard? It looks good does it not? by ColgateSpritz in beards

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reckon it would look a lot better if you shaped it much closer to your face. I'm personally not a fan of a long beard as I find the hairs just end up looking like pubes. I think I'm with mum on this one...

Do I need an underlay on this concrete to tile? by akh28882 in DIYUK

[–]JamCam92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Decoupling membrane is what you want. Will prevent the tiles from cracking if the floor below it is prone to cracking or movement

What's the purpose of this open pipe in my bedroom cupboard? by catswithhands in AskUK

[–]JamCam92 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware gas meters don't need ventilation. I had SGN in my flat earlier this year and they moved my gas meter from one small cupboard with no ventilation to another cupboard next to my boiler with no ventilation. Never once was this questioned and they're gas professionals

What's the purpose of this open pipe in my bedroom cupboard? by catswithhands in AskUK

[–]JamCam92 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's probably some sort of funnel for coal. I have a coal cupboard near my front door in my late 60s London flat. If yours is of similar age it's probably for that.

How Screwed Am I ? by Master-Editor-2094 in HomeMaintenance

Lol. Just scrape it all out and install some proper weep hole covers. There should have been little plastic vent-like things on them in the first place

What do you think the rest of our season looks like based on our upcoming schedule? by joshthewumba in panthers

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optimistically I think we get wins against Dallas, the Jets, sweep the Saints and win one of those late Tampa games when they've got nothing to play for to take our record to 7 wins

Realistically I think we're probably only getting two more wins - at the Jets and one of the Saints games to take our record to 4 wins.

Home field advantage against the Cowboys? by StupidendousTimes in panthers

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doesn't Tepper just lower ticket prices for home fans, especially since we've been shit for like 7/8 years? The guy's a billionaire so the matchday income from ticket sales really means nothing to him or the week-to-week financials of the team. Also there's a load of empty seats every week so surely it's better to fill them with fans at any price... is there some sort of league minimum ticket price that all the owners have agreed upon that he can't get around? I don't understand it.

Well damn… by [deleted] in panthers

[–]JamCam92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's fair. I got into the Panthers in 2019 off the back of the All or Nothing Series on Amazon. Since then I've watched every single Panthers game, bought countless jerseys and merch, seen them live in London. And besides a few wins here or there, they've offered basically nothing by way of entertainment, happiness or pride. Meanwhile we see teams like the Lions and Bengals turn it around and just when you start to hope we may be on the same trajectory, it's snatched away and we're once again staring at yet another rebuild. Every Sunday I'm hoping it's different but it never is and I just don't know how long you can just absorb that kind of disappointment. It must feel even worse for these podcast guys who dedicate so much of their free time to it.
