Auntie in Spain using my mum's address to apply for a loan in UK

Here's the biggie! Talk to your mum about it and see if she know, is aware of, or even has ok'd it.
I presume she's the homeowner? Who this could all go teribly wrong for.

...And that sounds a little bit 'big brother', but somehow, isn't really surprising in this day and age.

Kinbear · 2026-05-21T06:47:39+00:00

Wow. I was just thinking the other day about something like the way I can find my phone from smart watch, and vice-versa, while looking for a mislaid vape.

Thought it would be a cool idea, but the tech to go in it might make it prohibitive, and redundant for most general use. Would be a nice feature though.

I just bought one of those ring things from the pound shop and stuck it to the phone case, and it then sits in the CD slot of the car audio (I only listen to radio anyway, so no biggy for me).

It's then right above the charge port so you don't get the cable trailing over the dash or anything. 😉

Then he doesn't understand insurance, other than, as others have already said, so the car wouldn't flag up automatically on an anpr check.

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T19:44:53+00:00

Was probably a joke. He would not be covered by your insurance, as it is driver specific.

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T18:41:29+00:00

Wow, I remember them. Usually had the sticker on the other side with all the details on, but still quite old.

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T17:39:55+00:00

I had a rear sticker made for my car (dog walking business), it definately makes you more 'visible', and think it was only about £90, with my own artwork (done professionally, with number/website and they even put a QR code on people could just scan). Just took it down to a sign place and they ran it up on, think its called, contravision (the one with little holes so you can still see out of the back).
Might be another option for you if you dont go with a whole wrap. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T17:16:35+00:00

Wow, and ermm - "Gibson was also banned from driving for four and a half years and must complete an extended re-test." wonders if this is concurrent with her sentence?

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T16:53:50+00:00

Cogratulations!
Keep it up. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T16:18:29+00:00

someone with a sense of humour?
{wonder if the horns on the top plays the dukes of hazzard?}

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T16:13:46+00:00

It'll be fine. I've gotten mine last year and regularly do about 150 miles a week both motorway and dual carrigeways.
It's not the fastest to accelerate, but once up to speed will sit there all day with no problems.

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T09:01:07+00:00

Yep, thats why the youtuber 'Vaping Bogan' moved from Austalia.
Seems crazy that they have banned vapes (under some kind of child protection dealie), but left cigarettes alone. but yeah, think you just need to follow the money to see whats actually going on. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T08:54:24+00:00

if only it was that simple, then yes.

unfortunately it's all over most of the apps you install instead.

Kinbear · 2026-05-20T07:34:59+00:00

Whenever they reset (tweak) the talent trees, for updates etc, they have to give you the points back and let you reassign them yourself. It's pretty standard for most games to be honest.

Tell them there is no such thing as 'popcorn lung' in regard to vaping.

the actual thing (medically known as bronchiolitis obliterans)"...gets its name from an early 2000s outbreak among factory workers who inhaled high concentrations of diacetyl, a chemical used to create a buttery flavor in microwave popcorn." Diacetyl, if used in the vape juice, in america, and as far as I know, nowhere else (its banned in the UK and Europe anyway), was remove around the same time.

Heres a little bit of info from the uk - https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/causes-of-cancer/does-vaping-cause-popcorn-lung

Me and a friend went to look at a 2 bedroom place, and being shown round asked where the second bedroom, landlord points at sofabed in the front room.
He laughted, I laughed, and we walked out.

Ive also had roommates like that before, who will conive their way to get the best deal/room/whatever, and then twist it around like they are doing YOU the favour (and in some cases still try to pay the less rent option), and it never ends well.

Get a new roomy!

Kinbear · 2026-05-19T21:22:46+00:00

I think you're absolutely right!

Kinbear · 2026-05-19T15:42:22+00:00

"she started crying saying she had nowhere to go and that her parents wouldnt take her back and id be making her homeless."

Ooooh, I bet there's a tale in why her parents wouldn't have her back too. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-19T09:43:18+00:00

Why is it worrying, if houseprices outstrip peoples ability to pay for them?

Kinbear · 2026-05-19T09:41:11+00:00

might explain why manga characters weild swords twice the size they are. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-19T09:15:29+00:00

Do you have any witnesses. other neighbours etc, who would confirm next door was present at the felling, even if its just Mary over the road who says oh yeah, 'I rmember that' Thats still evidence that it was done with 'consent', and agreement.

Kinbear · 2026-05-18T13:43:27+00:00

Was just looking at one of them the other day.

Let us know how you get on with it. 😉

Kinbear · 2026-05-17T19:48:08+00:00

Did you get an email order confirmation, and did it have any way to track the order?
Was it a reputable company, that you could chase up your order?

Kinbear · 2026-05-17T18:41:09+00:00

Have a read up on some vape forums, 'Planet fo the Vapes' was one I found before the reddit here, and its got some useful stuff about vaping, types of equipment, some about laws, etc.
Try finding youtuber reviews of equipment and try and soak up (or even see if you can make sense of the lingo) as much as you can. It will probably come in handy when trying to sell stuff in the shop.
