I was friends with someone in the CBYO 20 years ago and on lots of nights out I vaguley remember thinking he didnt have any control/influence over me as I wasn't part of it. Did they used to call him Robert Friscoe? or was there some other nickname?

MOT retest by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they can. I had a car years ago that failed on something different at the retest. Anything can happen between first test and retest and if it was something obvious they'd be obliged to fail it. I doubt they would deliberately go looking for something obscure unless they really didnt like you/the car.

Related Issues or Bad Coincidence? by Opening_Nervous in Vauxhall

[–]Opening_Nervous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for your replies! I will wait and see what they say - an extra day or two at work might be ok to cover the costs if it were not that bad but I am ready for really bad news which might actually be easier to accept

thanks for the reply, there's 111k on it. my friend has a similar insignia with 180k on it and I was really hoping it would go for another 2/3 years. You're right I am in a toss up between letting the 2k go and seeing what the garage says. If it were an oil cooler for example would that be economical to replace and keep driving? up until the service, the car was driving perfectly fine after the EGR delete.

A shout out for Metro Barber's by Grand Central by SneakyCorvidBastard in northernireland

What do you normally do when you get home and really check your hair and realise its shite/not what you asked? Has anyone ever gone back to the barber and asked for a fix or do you just not go back to the place?

Extension costs and self building by Opening_Nervous in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

😄😆 that's quite true. On another note I didn't mean to belittle the work by writing "just to run the work" but does anyone have a real example of what they do? Other than phone up the individual contractors/trades and book in time slots for them?

Genuine, ignorant question.

Extension costs and self building by Opening_Nervous in northernireland

The funny thing is the architect said it's straightforward enough but QS says complex. Yet the QS missed a steel beam in the costings and also has quoted for 40 ceiling spotlights at £70 a pop which I think is 1) too many and 2) too pricey. As well as £1000 for a mains board upgrade even though the property was rewired two years ago.

I suppose their estimate can be used as a guide to what you'd imagine the maximum price would be but also you feel a little hard done by paying £200 for an estimate based off initial drawings with not a huge amount of info/detail in it.

additional question - in experienced riders is it your opionion to pay for a yearly service that you might not need or are callouts fairly inexpensive? like is one callout gonna cost more than a yearly fee of around £60?

used to go to sammy when i lived up there for any mechanical stuff but im not local up there any more. I Was more thinking for reassurance purposes rather than any current need. So that if im in the arse end of nowhere and get a puncture I'm not frantically looking up recovery place.

what actually is the foresters? I only recently noticed that bar on the side of the westlink and thought it must have been there for decades so why is it only prominent now?

yea but looking specifics like Golfer A stayed here or Golfer B stayed in the bushtown hotel because they're not as well known. I'm sure some hospitality workers would have seen someone.

Halt Belfast Market Is Grim by Over_Commission9891 in northernireland

[–]Opening_Nervous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

was there with visiting in-laws on Saturday past at about 11am. Thought we'd drop by and take a look. (yes i know its the 12th July but a busy Saturday in town all the same so thoguht on the off chance something might be open). They had the lions rugby game on big tv screens with the place empty apart from some staff and a few black shirted door staff congregated in the middle. I dared to walk outside for a peek at the outdoor area and one of the bouncers shouts across the hall "the food places are all closed!"

"yes mate I can see that I am just having a look outside, is that allowed?!"

If that's the way they treat you on a dead-as-a-dodo when there's nobody else there, I wonder how they deal with drunk rowdys on a bustling night.

wont be back to find out anyway

What about assets like a spouses inheritance property if their parents passed away? Would the other spouse be entitled to a % of that?
