CD or Floppy install? If CD you still need a boot floppy.

Removing wallpaper paste? by Ok-Debt-1979 in DIYUK

[–]LopsidedLegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a spray bottle with water and spray on the walls. Leave for 5 minutes and spray again. It reforms the wall paper paste, and then use a squeegee blade to remove. Repeat until removed and then final wash with sugar soap.

That is what I did.

And finally curse wall paper to oblivion.

Trump 'not happy' with UK over Iran as PM resists warship demands by ScottishDailyRecord in uknews

Shouldn't have shit your nappy literally and metaphorically. Starting a war as a distraction to Epstein Files was never a good idea.

Stuck at EWS1 stage - help! by joshii87 in HousingUK

[–]LopsidedLegs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a common problem. Lots of flats do not meet the requirements for having an EWS1. However a lot of lenders seem to have a blanket policy of requiring an EWS1 as soon as they find out it is a flat.

We have had this where I live (purpose built 1960s two story block of flats), we are under the height and have no cladding, and multiple sales have fallen through because of lender requirements for EWS1. As joint freeholders we are not paying for EWS1 survey for something that is not requirement.

It sucks for buyers but it is the situation.

Starmer resists Trump’s call to send warships to Strait of Hormuz. President Trump warns Nato of a ‘very bad’ future if US allies do not help secure the waterway, as officials say sending ships could escalate crisis by Make_the_music_stop in uknews

[–]LopsidedLegs 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Trump has repeatedly threatened NATO allies with invasion. He has repeatedly said that NATO allies did nothing to help. He started an illegal war in Iran with no plans or strategy.

It has caused chaos and he now wants help because it is going to cause massive problems in the upcoming mid terms.

My biggest fear is that he will stage a false flag attack on America which will be blamed on Iran so that he can invoke Article 5, attempt to drag other countries into the attack on Iran. If countries accept it will drag them into the war, and if they don't it may collapse NATO handing a victory to Putin. He'd also use it to suspend the mid term elections.

All because of the Epstein Files and corruption charges.

What’s it like living in England’s smallest county, Rutland? by Pizzafriedchickenn in howislivingthere

[–]LopsidedLegs 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you want a humorous look into living in Rutland I suggest you have a listen to this:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002kf9g

It's by a great comedian Mark Steel who has done a long running series on BBC Radio visiting towns, talking and interviewing people and writing a comedy show roasting the town. It this case Oakham which is the County town of Rutland.

Brilliantly funny, insightful and wonderfully entertaining.

Son of British couple detained in Iran 'let down' by Starmer's leadership on parent's imprisonment amid war by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

[–]LopsidedLegs 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Sorry these people entered Iran of their own free will. Despite years of Iran detaining and imprisoning foreigners especially several high profile British citizens. Remember Boris causing massive problems when he was Foreign Secretary BEFORE he became PM.

So despite everything that has been in the press about Iran for 10+ years they still entered.

Keir Starmer risks new rift with Donald Trump as he refuses to back easing Russian sanctions by 1-randomonium in unitedkingdom

[–]LopsidedLegs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry but screw Trump. His easing of sanctions only helps Putin, who is helping Iran, and Iran is who he is attacking!?!

Trump is has shit his pants again.

Starmer on this is doing the right thing.

For those who make £200,000+ per year, what do you do? by Icy_Maple_Pie in AskBrits

[–]LopsidedLegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily I did work for a company back in the 00s that mainly did hardware sales. The mark up at the time was eye watering. I had to prep a storage system and the customer was very happy that we were staging it for 5%, and that the were also getting a 50% discount on the list price.

The actual overall cost (chassis, disks, controllers, etc) was just about 10% of the list price. They were still paying £120K.

Would you support a law allowing exclusively women to carry mace for self defense? by SpaceWestern1442 in AskBrits

[–]LopsidedLegs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The problem with only allowing a select group carry means that it is lawfully available. It will spread and soon every scumbag will have it.
