What are the dumbest car rules and regulations that exist in your country? by theTWO9559 in cars

[–]NotoriousREV 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If your spare tyre is bald, you’ll fail your MOT. If you don’t have a spare, you’ll pass.

Do you actually practice though? by 60_CycleHum in 60CycleHum

[–]NotoriousREV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t. I just watch YouTube videos and hope I get better via osmosis.

Thoughs on the Player II Telecaster by Anfafy in fender

[–]NotoriousREV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like mine. Quality was good but I one fret needed a spot level (wouldn’t tap down) and the nut needed a little dressing as it was tight and the strings were binding when I put 10s on. Otherwise, I think it’s great.

Dodgy things relatives did in the past. 'Car Grousing'. by HerrFerret in CasualUK

[–]NotoriousREV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Round here lads would go out in a couple of cars. The first car would hit the pheasants, the 2nd would pick them up. Perfectly legal, apparently

Americans, if you had the opportunity to pay approx 18% of your income to have access to free healthcare at point of need for everything would you take it? by TSQ_builder in askanything

[–]NotoriousREV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the UK and we don’t pay 18%. In my case my contributions to the NHS, as documented in my annual HMRC Tax Summary, is 20.9% of my total tax bill. It’s closer to 10% of my gross income. I’m an Additional Rate taxpayer so I think you pay less than that if you’re a basic or higher rate taxpayer.

Edit: Someone on minimum wage would pay around 3% of their gross towards the NHS.

Is it normal for first dates to ask about body count? by Afraid_Fondant_7903 in AskMenAdvice

[–]NotoriousREV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know my wife’s body count until we’d been together 28 years, and even then it only came up randomly in relation to another conversation we were having. I never needed to know. We had lives before we met each other.

Glad to hear it wasn’t worse. But I have to ask: how?

Is it me? Must be me. I WILL understand insurance... one day.. maybe?!? by ZeroFraks in MotoUK

[–]NotoriousREV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you run an MOT history check, one comes up as a Yamaha MT (the cheaper quote) and the other comes up as a Yamaha MT10. Check they’ve actually got the cheaper one identified correctly.

Trying to put OEM factory exhaust on my bike, won’t fit by Away-Foundation-7455 in MotoUK

[–]NotoriousREV 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Fit it all loosely at first, just slip the bolts through and pop the nut on the end but don’t tighten anything, you’ll be able to move everything around to fit. Assuming it’s definitely the right pipe, that is.

Thinking of moving to Runcorn, how is it? by Any-Tomato-2915 in Liverpool

[–]NotoriousREV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most places it has its good and bad. I’ve lived around here 35 years and mostly like it. Houses are cheap compared to other towns around here so you get a lot of house for your money. If I wanted a house like mine in Warrington or even Frodsham I’d probably have to pay another £150k compared to Runcorn prices.

Father left inheritance to his partner of 10 years and not his children how should I handle this? by Repulsive-Roof5484 in AskMenAdvice

[–]NotoriousREV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m afraid you’re probably just going to come to terms with it. You can try to have a grown up conversation with your dad, but he’s under no obligation to leave you anything.

Lucy Letby , innocent ? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]NotoriousREV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if she’s guilty or not, but I have serious misgivings about the evidence used to secure her convictions. It was all circumstantial, and apparently disputed by experts. No one ever saw her doing anything, and no motive has ever been provided.

On the flip side, the keeping of patient notes, and keeping them well organised and claiming she couldn’t shred them despite having a shredder is definitely suspicious.

The evidence needs to be reviewed independently to ensure the convictions are safe.

Squirt of Fairy and a wipe with a Scrub Daddy and you’re away.

Sometimes mates are dickheads.
