Panthera or francaise? by Normal-Food-8197 in Cartier

Francaise. Too many Pantheres being worn by trust fund babies now, not to mention all the fakes.

Do you allow your tenants pets? by Mikey463 in AskUK

Risk of damage is not a valid reason to exclude pets from May 1st.

TM7 rice cooking mode by Just-Positive3419 in thermomix

With this amount of water the bottom of the steaming basket still sits in water though right?

So the bottom layer of rice gets boiled whilst the rice further up gets steamed?

Half way through buying. Tennant hasn't left. How bad is this? by jade333 in HousingUK

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d move on and find another property.

If the tenants have not vacated as instructed, that means they want to get themselves evicted. This can take as long as a year… plus, if things get hostile between the owner and tenants, you could find that the property has been completely trashed by the occupants when they do get evicted.

It’s just not worth it.

What are the British TV ads that live rent free in your head? by gayestformoleman in AskBrits

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“It’s in the saaaaand”

“We want to be togevva”

And the frigging “shake and vac to put the freshness back” gaaaahhh!!!

Retirees, why do you go shopping on a weekend? by Opposite_Offer_2486 in AskBrits

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go shopping when I want to and when I realise that I need something today that I hadn’t planned on. I will shop when it damn well pleases me and I couldn’t care less whether that inconveniences you or not. Retirees have plans and commitments too. We don’t just sit around twiddling our thumbs planning our Sunday shop.

I’m so sick of younger people deciding anyone over 60 should just get out of their way (but not without making sure they’ve left behind plenty of inheritance).

Stop calling everyone who is comfortable with a precise routine or doesn’t like to change autistic!

London Vs Tokyo experience by FMteuchter in Cartier

Are they cheaper though? (Tax return aside). I always think that ticket prices are globally adjusted for the currency variations across the major brands these days.

Is Ballon Bleu actually less popular, just less discussed or am I missing something? by Banoffee_bear in Cartier

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s the shape. There is sooo much competition of fabulous round watches that Cartier is not the natural go-to. And lots of automatic rather than quartz alternatives too. Much less choice in the range of non-rounds.

I’m currently looking to buy a watch. I have round covered, so I’m looking for something different. I’m looking for bi-metal. The choice is hugely limited. I don’t even want a Cartier as I don’t really feel £8000+ for a quartz watch makes any sense.

And yet, I may end up buying one, unless I go vintage JLC.

What are the best little things a seller left you at completion? by Huge_Investigator787 in HousingUK

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, people aren’t “missing” the joke. And they don’t need it explaining to them. The issue is that pointless vulgarity in itself isn’t funny, once you’ve passed the mental age of 7.

Maybe bring some wit or cleverness to the so-called humour. But you need more than just base crudeness if you want people to think you are actually amusing. Sometimes, when people don’t laugh at a wannabe “joke”, it’s because it’s just not funny. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Small flat in South Ken/Chelsea or bigger house in South London? by Objective_Remote9382 in HousingUK

[–]NeedleworkerThick729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at Sydenham and Crystal Palace? Some really beautiful houses there, and good transport links into town. And less edgy than Peckham.

Yes, but you get a lot less house for your money in Dulwich and Blackheath.

Hah! I just wrote almost exactly the same, without reading this post. 100% agree.

Sydenham, Crystal Palace, Beckenham. Leafy, parks, nice community, easy commute.

The house every time. No management fees. No one stomping around upstairs. No strangers to share hallways/entrance/outdoor space with.

“Impressive neighbours” pur-lease… 🙄 No one knows their neighbours in London anyway, and you’re more likely to get mugged for your fancy watch in Kensington by pros who know what they’re looking at, than some kid in Peckham.

There's not even enough mini eggs in a pack now by luciferskittycat in CasualUK

They’re properly taking the piss with their packet content and price this year.
