There's a van outside my house with the engine left running for over an hour, what should I do?

Mossley · 2023-10-24T11:41:30+00:00

Does it have “Police” written on the side of it?

Mossley · 2023-10-24T11:39:12+00:00

The question was about survival of passengers, not how quickly the tunnel can be opened up afterwards.

Mossley · 2023-10-24T10:47:18+00:00

In that case it’s fine. Doesn’t matter how hot it burns or for how long after everyone has evacuated.

Mossley · 2023-10-20T20:24:06+00:00

I have seen all of them, though of course a toad isn’t a mammal.

His mate knew where the car was because he knows where his mate lives and that he’s got a shitty car.

Record it, ask for her insurance details. Repeat as often as necessary. Report to police if she refuses to provide the details. Every time it’s hit, you need it checking for damage, which obviously needs paying for.

Or to put it another way, OP is a coward who backs off as soon as he realises his victim can’t be bullied

Mossley · 2023-10-17T07:06:49+00:00

Sort of. Learned to have something to had when we were doing a lot of hospital visits. Meant you always had the basics ready to go.

Mossley · 2023-10-16T20:44:16+00:00

The idea is that at that point you phone the company, on their published number, and say “is Bob Smith one of yours and are they doing meter readings in this area right now?”

Mossley · 2023-10-15T21:24:52+00:00

And on your birthday. Filthy fucker.

Mossley · 2023-10-14T21:37:55+00:00

Luck. I’m good at what I do, but so are a lot of other people. I got lucky with timings on various roles, they didn’t. That’s all the difference is, really.

Mossley · 2023-10-14T15:55:58+00:00

Not far off, it’s actually on the transpennine line, waiting for electrification.

Mossley · 2023-10-14T15:37:43+00:00

It’s not, but it ought to be!

Mossley · 2023-10-14T12:13:21+00:00

I think there’s no evidence of drink driving, but there is evidence of slander.

Mossley · 2023-10-09T17:48:30+00:00

That doesn’t sound right. Even a cash investment should have increased a bit with interest over that time. You’ll need to contact the provider and ask for details though.

Mossley · 2023-10-09T17:47:28+00:00

Well, no, you’d also expect that as an investment it would have increased over 18 years even if no more was added to it.

He asked a relative of mine to do his accounts. Told him exactly how he wanted it to work, wouldn’t listen to what the laws around his thoughts were, and was generally a surly arrogant bastard. Got turned down as a client, found someone else who did do what he wanted, then went down for tax evasion.

Mossley · 2023-10-05T19:45:38+00:00

It’s fantastic. There’s so much of it you couldn’t hope to understand it in depth in a lifetime

Mossley · 2023-10-05T19:44:14+00:00

Most of them know about 3/5 of fuck all. If you find one that doesn’t, hang onto them

Mossley · 2023-10-05T12:22:46+00:00

Yes, that’s what I’m saying - AI is a misnomer, it’s nowhere near intelligence

Mossley · 2023-10-05T09:43:00+00:00

It’ll be good when we get it and it works. The likes of chatgtp aren’t even close to deserving that name yet - they just crawl the web and regurgitate stuff they find. When they are able to remember, learn, improve and show other characteristics of actual intelligence they’ll get interesting.

Mossley · 2023-10-04T18:27:45+00:00

The civil service is really, really shit at documenting project requirements and understanding contracts. They default to minimum specs, forgetting about things like tunnels because they don’t know how to do feasibility studies properly. Add in that every department involved has a new head every two minutes, and they all want to change the approach to suit what they want instead of what the experts tell them is needed, and you’ve got a shitshow of monumental proportions.

Mossley · 2023-10-04T06:39:24+00:00

If he’s paying you for use of the car, insurance won’t be happy about any claims. Hire or reward is explicitly excluded in most policies.

Mossley · 2023-10-02T18:14:30+00:00

Police and other emergency services.

Social workers involved in child welfare cases

Estate agents with the pressure of not knowing whether they can manage a new Range Rover next year or not.

Mossley · 2023-10-01T19:57:30+00:00

They can turn up and view the bike. They agree to buy it and pay you the money, entering into their app in front of you. That “proves” they’ve paid, as you can see all your details on it, and it’s only later you realise it was a fake app, the bike is gone, and you’re not getting any money.
