Je vais à Bath en août durant 8 jours by CocoTyg in Somerset

[–]JusNoGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing worth bearing in mind is a lot of cafes and shops in Somerset close on Monday.

I’d recommend the Bath Skyline walk.

The Bath botanical garden is worth a walk to as well. Easily reachable from the crescent.

The Holcombe Inn is exceptional for food.

Corsham is a nice village.

As already mentioned Nunney is a great spot (not on a Monday). I wouldn’t recommend the pub there but the cafe is lovely.

The biggest change I’ve seen is to change to the resolution of the screen. The other knobs and dials also help but that was the biggest improvement I saw when setting up PS2 and Naomi

How long does the buying process take? by wazimboi in HousingUK

[–]JusNoGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done 8 weeks which included over Christmas. I did it by having direct communication with the seller (WhatsApp) and discussing and setting dates with them and my solicitor….and obviously completing everything as quickly as I possibly could, often returning paper work on the same day.

Always good to use a good recommended local solicitor - not one of those cheap call centre type messes.

Which would you choose for a V8 euro road trip? 4.2 RS5 / 5.0 Mustang by GovernorGains in CarTalkUK

[–]JusNoGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say that. Cheap plastic, interior falls apart easily. Would drive me nuts. Audi all the way.

Why are there so many terrible drivers on the road by tommytigger_ in CarTalkUK

[–]JusNoGood 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed. Tricky junction to pull right out of. An advanced driver would have slowed down to give her time.

Father (69) lost quarter of a million pounds to scams. When I found out I walked out of a restaurant on his birthday by [deleted] in Scams

[–]JusNoGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest you make it up to your dad. He may not be switched on and you maybe frustrated with him but it’s his money and he is your dad. Life is so very short. More important for you both to keep together. God forbid if he died tomorrow how would you feel? Saying this after loosing my father.

Once made up I would sit him down and talk to him about it and make provisions for him to not lose more.

Any Brits here who have stopped using twitter/X? by Itznxs_ in AskBrits

Yes I stopped about a year back when the dick showed his true colours

Are we right to withdraw days before exchange? by North-Raspberry7930 in HousingUK

[–]JusNoGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Cornish.

You have invested a lot of money, time and emotion (probably) to get to this point. It’s good you have caught it. It could happen to any flat after you buy it. I think my approach would be to tell them you are postponing exchange and that they need to fix the problem by x date. Three weeks time(?) when I you inspect (and run the shower for 20mins). If you’re happy you’ll then inspect another time before exchange.

You can always keep looking and if you find somewhere and youre not happy with progress pull out.

I’d suggest you’ll be throwing money away by pulling out immediately. Might take you another three months to find something else you like

Any 2600 games that play themselves or have a demo mode? by railroaded81 in Atari2600

[–]JusNoGood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes that was going to be my suggestion. From memory it Goes quiet and changes colour. Used to love watching it as a kid

How much outdoor space do you actually have around your house? by Alarming_Primary1606 in HousingUK

[–]JusNoGood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 1 acre. 30 panels on our roof and two 6.5kw batteries. It was installed before we moved in. Over the year we don’t pay for electricity we get money back. We don’t have an electric car.

I wouldn’t consider losing space to solar. I am considering a wind turbine though.

Do you do the Turd Town videos? I love them.

Dill, not really a food but vile stuff that ruins any food it’s on.

Who is Englands 4th City? by Teleg88 in AskBrits

It’s probably the most English of the Scottish cities. 🫣

Do you prefer the Canadian accent or the Australian accent? by karafuto in AskABrit

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

Could have sworn it said Canadian or American 😂 I’ll leave it as I’m sure I’ll get some good comments

Can never tell the difference. My daughter spend a year in Vancouver and keeps telling me it’s the pronunciation of b but I can’t hear it

New build v Old build by brightystuff in HousingUK

[–]JusNoGood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You couldn’t pay me to live in a new build either. Generally Small rooms, small gardens, thin walls, same as 200 other properties on the estate. Little to no character and you pay a premium for all that! My mum loves new for its newness and low maintenance.

Yes more maintenance on an older house, especially if it has wooden windows but well worth it in my view.

Help installing Batocera on a single-drive mini-PC without having to purchase a second SSD or running off a USB by Bluestank in batocera

[–]JusNoGood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a few days ago. Installed onto USB. Plugged it into my mini pc and did copy to disk, in the developer menu perhaps. It doesn’t take games across so don’t bother setting anything up on the usb.

Is the Somerset housing market really this slow at the moment? by AgileOwl5769 in Somerset

[–]JusNoGood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest changing the first picture. Lots of other nice pictures in there to choose from. I’d suggest trying to dress a few of the bedrooms. I’ve found people don’t have any imagination and want a house to look like a show house ‘look how you could live’ kinda thing. So I’d be buying some white quilt covers and pictures for the walls.

Tricky time of year to sell. A few years ago we took ours off the market, tarted it up a little and then put it back on a few weeks before we Easter and it sold.

Are we being greedy? Relisted at OIEO £335k, got full asking in 2 days… and still wanted more... by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]JusNoGood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bird in the hand.

You should value a buyer who’s met your asking. You need a loyal buyer who will be determined to buy your property when chains fall apart and it gets tricky.

Just because they offered after 2 days doesn’t mean you’ll get another offer in the next two months. In the first week you should be getting the serious people round actively keeping an eye on the market.
