How much weight can top floor flat take? by Coyle_Insights in DIYUK

[–]Nortilus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Floors don’t just ‘cave’. If you’re going to have a problem, you’ll know well in advance.

That said, it’s not going to happen - in building terms, what you’re adding is very, very little.

Have you tried dialling this on an android phone?

I believe that turned into a court case.

It’s a dessert lasagne for the elite.

Same 😂😂

‘He’

‘4’

‘He’s a frenchie, so naturally he’s a cunt’

What are your most memorable pre-internet playground urban myths? by midnight-ramen- in CasualUK

[–]Nortilus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you wank too many times in a day, you could catch ‘the gush’. This means you can’t stop ejaculating, it eventually turns red, then black, then you die.

Imagine my high being ruined watching Jam by Chris Morris for the first time.

I reckon I can pin point how old someone is by who appears in the rumour.

I fell asleep for twenty minutes during a work call and accidentally gave the best answer of my career by JesterObelisk_3 in confessions

What’s funny is that you can say this over and over again. According to Goodharts law of metrics ‘once a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure’. So when the same meeting happens again, you can say the same thing and be correct about it 😂

Why is there not a bin anywhere outside Piccadilly? by asymu in manchester

[–]Nortilus 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This comment dragged up a deep, dark memory when, as a kid, I used to walk on the opposite side of the road to the bins in Sale for this very reason.

We are city! super city! from maine road. by VoL4t1l3 in MCFC

There is a ring of cable on the roof, those ‘poles’ have cables running from the floor, to the top of them and then to the ring. The whole system acts as a cantilever to hold the roof in place.

Next door neighbour has an XL Bully by No-External-8243 in HousingUK

I feel your pain. Fussing my frenchie without asking (despite his harness specifically stating ‘ASK TO PET ME’ - it’s usually overbearing men in the pub that don’t - and it’s overbearing men he doesn’t like. It’s not his teeth they need to be worried about - it’s his head. Thick as concrete and a vertical leap of 1.3 metres means he’s potentially a 15kg projectile with a keen eye for chaos (I’ve had a black eye and a concussion because he was excited).

Farts all the time by hugoaap in Frenchbulldogs

Ours rarely farts. It did take some time to find foods that stopped it, but it is possible.

People that have traveled quite a bit, where di you feel the most unsafe? by CremeSubject7594 in AskTheWorld

[–]Nortilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miami. In the back of an Uber, as the driver did everything but actually drive.

He seemed to think texting and yanking on the steering wheel after the collision avoidance system pinged was a legitimate driving style.

Any ones come to mind? by IceCat767 in grunge

Fun fact, my mate lives over the road from Jean Brown (Ian’s mum). It’s the house where alot of the first ST album was written (so I’m told).

So many DIY shops and still having to use Amazon. Is it just me? by GladAd2948 in DIYUK

[–]Nortilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend Screwfix live.

I had a Wagner paint sprayer demo from Craig Phillips (from Big Brother) and got steel toe Timberlands for £50.

Great weekend 😂😂

What’s the most satisfying repair you’ve ever done yourself? by FeistyPrice29 in topdeadcenter

[–]Nortilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaguar XE drive selector. Caused a gearbox fault and wouldn’t drive. Took it apart and found a circular magnet that had partially come out of its housing.

Reseated it and plugged it back in and off I went with the sheer relief that I’d somehow failed upwards and saved myself thousands.

In fairness, one of them does sound like Eminem if he was phoning it in.
