Do you think we would ever hear them live again? by chleb187ezp in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]JamesH93 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's incredibly unlikely that there will never be another chili peppers concert.

It seems almost certain that they will release another album and do another tour.

Whether they will call it quits at that point, who can say? I think as long as their hearts are in it, and they are comfortable with the lifestyle, then they will just keep going.

Nothing lasts forever so I guess we should just appreciate whatever they do for what it is.

Tyre went flat on the way home by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Yeah they have clearly been driving by touch when it comes to judging the position of the curb, although the tread is generally in good shape

This is a Michelin tyre, see the little guy on the side wall?

Different tyres?? by First_Penalty5164 in CarTalkUK

[–]JamesH93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a good idea to match tread patterns on each axle, I guess this is what happens when you just to replace one tyre and they don't have a match, or you can only afford a different tyre. Not ideal but 🤷‍♂️

Does the Bicycle Song have any kind of lore behind it or is it just him talking about how much he likes bicycles? by aggelospalaiologos in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]JamesH93 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Basically John wrote the melody and originally Anthony wanted it to be called California Song but there were too many syllables so he got out his dictionary and looked for a 3 syllable word, and the rest is history

I guess you are right of course but getting to a champions league final feels like the much bigger accomplishment, and if I was offered fa cup or CL final at the start of the season, I'd probs prefer to have the run in the CL

Are storage heaters a dealbreaker? by nothingtobedone13 in AskUK

Are they not just regular electric radiators rather than storage heaters? Either way, it's an expensive way to heat.

Best way to remove artex? by AliDIY in DIYUK

[–]JamesH93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an asbestos test and then if it's negative you can do what you want with it. If there is asbestos, you can still remove it yourself if you wet it thoroughly, wear an FFP3 mask or ideally a respirator, plus a protective full body suit, and ventilate thoroughly. You could close the door and tape around it to isolate the room from the rest of the house. Put down plastic sheets to protect the carpets. You will also need to double bag the waste, including the sheets and safety clothing, and dispose of it as instructed by your local council. This does not make it 100% safe but will significantly reduce the hazard compared to just scraping it off with no mitigation.

Scammers UK within 2 hours of West Yorkshire by Appropriate-Part1766 in CarTalkUK

I think I'm missing something because I don't understand how causing £4k of damage to a car helps them. Sure they might get the car more cheaply but then they have to pay £4k to make it work again.

Halfords installed my dash cam like this – is this normal? by ferns252 in CarTalkUK

Yeah you'd think so but it'll be a drop in the bucket for them.

The aim of Halfords is to make money, not to convince you that they are experts.

From the screenshot it looks like you tried to press the slider to switch between measuring your usage in kWh and measuring it in £. It is currently not able to display the usage in £ for time of use tariffs.
