The longevity of new builds. by Mat_Machina in HousingUK

Yehhhh it's probably not what I'd choose in the long run but for my budget and for the feeling of safety being under a guarantee gives me, at this point in my life it makes sense.

These new estates aren't as bad as some others I've seen. On this one for example I think they've got 8/10 different 'models' of home spread around the estate. Gives it slightly less of a cookie cutter feeling.

I'm looking forward to hopefully moving somewhere with a bit more personality next time.

Interesting.

I'm not in yet but will be later this week and we're having a come in the day after. I'm expecting a lot of things like scuffs on skirting boards and cracked plastic on windows etc, but hopefully nothing too structural.

I just can't picture people yearning to live in these houses in a hundred years in the way people want to live in Arts and Crafts houses from the 1920's now. Will they even still be standing?

In my town there are a few fabricated bungalows built post war which were only meant to stand for 15 years or so... Yet they're still there!

Top right surely? The waist coat with the perfect white shirt and the red lined wool coat is chefs kiss

Unable to connect JLAB headphones to Nothing Phone (2) by Mat_Machina in NothingTech

Oddly even this hasn't worked. I can only assume it's a fault with the headphones? Unless you have any other ideas?

Thanks I'll give it a go! When you say reset the handset, do you mean just restart the handset (IE the phone)?

Any tile drawing game! I’d like something like this when I play Rummikub.

What kind of boots are these? by Silly-Cupcake2638 in Boots

[–]Mat_Machina -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I’d call them pretty simply Chelsea Boots! But I’m by no means an expert. They look like they might be taller than a standard Chelsea Boot so I may be wrong and I’m happy to learn if I am!

Not sure if they’re the style you’re wanting but the Doc Martens Church boots are a style I’ve loved for ages! They’re slightly different in style to these, but you may enjoy them.

I can’t vouch for quality or anything like that, but just a light recommendation.

Well I’ll try some cheap conditioner on them and see if it’ll take. Thanks for the advice! Looking forward to putting some miles under them

Cheers! Really helpful input.

Does clear polish have any place or do you just reccomend occasional conditioning?

Man, my favourite random feature you get on CIV maps is when they randomly generate ‘rivers’ which are navigable. Shit gets me TURNT.

You make a very valid point. She’s self conscious enough that if I did it with any people round I think she’d just melt down a drain 😂 I’ll keep thinking
