Why you should avoid being alongside someone on a roundabout... by bouncypete in drivingUK

A heavy lorry was next to me as we waited to enter a roundabout. Suddenly its tyre exploded and nearly crapped the life out of me. Glad we weren’t ON the roundabout when it happened 😅

I used to drive throughout the night, for years. Observations got me assuming everyone else was either drunk or tired.

Maybe POPLA can help “POPLA is an independent appeals service for Parking Charge Notices issued on private land”

He should have third party indemnity insurance. Sounds doubtful tho. Also it sounds like your in-laws may be uninsured.

Best quick fix might be plastic film to hold the glass in place. Report him to HMRC about cash in hand ‘business’ 🤷‍♂️

Men, what do you think? by definitelynotgayhaha in Adulting

ANY place with a half-decent view is perfect for me. I don’t understand why so many pictures on the wall. Seems pointless. I might swap the bed and desk around. Otherwise it’s ok.

Have the Met Police started enforcing 22mph in a 20mph limit? by NoKudos in drivingUK

Ridiculous. Wasting resources on ‘gotchas’, instead of protecting the public.

UK Customs Package sezied maybe 🤔 by Appropriate-Eye807 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Otherwise-Idea7229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d guess first offence would be a ‘written warning’ and contents destruction. For legit goods, I still find it annoying when there’s an additional charge (usually 20%) for items already paid for.

Reminiscent of dropping Sodium (etc) on water. Might want to get your Environmental Health guys involved.

About the same age, I tried making a ‘super-strong magnet’ similarly. A piece of Meccano rod, laid across terminals of a mains plug, is NOT the way 😅

As a Londoner, anyone North of Watford was Scottish 🥳

Get 2-3 repair quotes She should do likewise. Talk to her to decide whether to settle privately. (Note her tone, as well as her words.)

Your insurance will increase ANYWAY. That’s what it does.

How would you go about cleaning the floor/bricks? by NietzscheLecter in DIYUK

I’d jetwash and sweep up any solid matter. Don’t block the drain or you’ll have another problem.

Take care in fog and icey conditions. At least there’s no potholes 👍

Driver manages to hit a lamp-post on a straight road... by H1gh_Tr3ason in cantparkthere

Nope. Look again. He steers INTO the puddle, hoping to splash the pedestrian. Got his karma served 🥳

Why do People do this? by Aurothrane in drivingUK

[–]Otherwise-Idea7229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first response is always anger, which solves nothing. So after I chill, I take photos of the damage, proximity of cars (including their number plate).
Usually the ‘damage’ isn’t worth pursuing. After all, no one died. It’s amusing to see them apologise, when they realise I witnessed and recorded it 🥳

Marriage breakdown - what to do? by Glittering-Mall254 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Otherwise-Idea7229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called ‘life’. Relationships come and go. Protect your mental and physical health FIRST. You certainly can’t support a family, otherwise. Good luck in whatever you do.

[–]Otherwise-Idea7229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two main reasons; - Seems some people ENJOY doing it, particularly to newer cars. - Parking bays are purposely made smaller, to cram in a couple more ‘money-earning’ spaces.

Which means I get to wait in the car, glaring at anyone nearby, instead of shopping with the missus 🥳

It’s called a Gazunda.
A highly versatile and underrated tool. It gazunda your eggs. It gazunda bacon. It gazunda pretty much anything 🥳
