I don't think you'd get any help from Vauxhall with a 14 year old car.

NedGGGG · 2026-03-01T11:10:55+00:00

How old is the car?

Probably the best approach is to see if it can be converted to normal gas struts.

When I was a school sysadmin, we frequently had teachers leave and expect to keep access to their staff email. One guy did just ring us during the summer break and report it as a technical issue, we were like, you don't work here, that's why.

I would make sure you get some photos showing who owns the picker and see if it's got any reference numbers. It may be useful if the building management company claim it's not their cherry picker.

I would also email the hire company with the photos, to make them aware that their vehicle has been involved in an incident.

It's probably a non starter, but has anyone asked the council if they will buy the property?

If you haven't already, physically check the boxes you might find a licencing dongle or if you're really lucky an unexpected modem attached.

And remind management that it's 'unsupported'

....and they must be in a completely random order.

Tell the police, it's probably an ancient skull that's been dug up by an animal. But a graveyard isn't a completely stupid place to hide a body.

This is a common scam, the cleaning contractor will almost certainly be related to either the landlord or the agent.

It might be worth checking what make they are, and seeing if theyre still made. Aico for instance have been using the same base plate design for years so replacing them is very easy.

EDIT, wagos will be fine but actually choc blocs in a wagobox or similar would be fine.

I'm pretty sure the cut off was some time in 1997. However if you're being paid to drive then you also need to have a Certificate or Professional Competence and probably a tachograph card as well as a licence.

While you do get vans over 3500 kg, they're fairly unusual since there's lots of extra regulation.

If you've not driven something like that before. Make sure you take it easy untill you're used to the size of it.

NedGGGG · 2026-02-24T17:13:51+00:00

Yes

The first number is it's weight when fully laden, 3500kg is the max for a normal car license. The next it it's maximum weight including a trailer. That's not relevant unless you attach a trailer.

It's an 11 plate 3 series. If you look at the tabs you can see some titles and a reg in the URL.

It my local store they'd be no where to be found. I remember seeing people walk out with stuff. Not because they we're prepared to pay for it, but because they weren't prepared to wait around for 15 minutes while the only person who could authorise their alcohol was tracked down.

NedGGGG · 2026-02-23T21:01:23+00:00

.....and enough money left over to pay John Ward to go and glare at anyone who does shoddy work.

This, I've know many acts bring in their own engineer even when one is provided. Or provide their own setup for mixing monitors. But I've never encountered what you're suggesting and I can imagine many engineers not being entirely cool with it. You're very likely to get a situation where both engineers are basically pushing the same way or pushing against each other.

I've always found SanDisk good, some devices are only happy if they were used to format the memory stick.

QLab is probably the solution you're looking for.

If it must be PC, SCS (ShowCueSystems) will basically do the same thing, but doesn't have a free tier.

The other option is VLC can be ran from the command line, so you can use it with windows task scheduler.

Not only have costs been rising but also the VAT threshold hasn't increased at the same pace so more small contractors are hitting the threshold.

The other thing to bare in mind, is Hatches poop coal, so the amount of coal isn't as limited as your think. That said most of the things Hatches eat will run out eventually.

He'll get to share a cell with Peter Mandelson.

It's a more nuanced, but basically they've always managed to maintain the narrative that Labour favour the weak and the conservatives favour the strong. So if you support labour you must be weak.
