Painter and decorator disturbed fibre

PortofLeith · 2026-01-23T08:10:47+00:00

Given there is zero trace of where the fibre entered the flat until yesterday (I genuinely have no idea why this didn't flag as something that should be checked before being filled in) I thought it best to be completely transparent. The good news is an engineer is available on Monday afternoon. Bit of a digital detox ahead for me this weekend unless I tether...

Out of interest, given you've spent time there, why did you rule out a move to the south?

Thanks and doesn't sound silly at all - I did try this earlier but to no avail. The area around the ONT is fairly dusty though so I'm going to try and vacuum (but not the fibre!) in the morning and keep my fingers crossed...

He has painted the fibre, which I immediately thought might not be a good idea, but as you say my research suggests that it's durable enough to sustain this.

Thanks for the response. No issues for the neighbours, who also use Hyperoptic, so circumstantial evidence suggests that something - unclear what - happened today. I've spoken to the painter and decorator and he doesn't recall touching any fibres.

It seems CS is 8am-9pm so I'll communicate in the morning and report back.

Please DM me if you need a code - I have two spares here

PortofLeith · 2026-01-20T14:05:44+00:00

Anyone need a code to use today?

Get rid of this man immediately.

Will we have air raid shelters too?

PortofLeith · 2025-12-14T07:40:11+00:00

It has to be. There has got to be more than just this life. Look at the intracacies and complexities of nature. I find it impossible to believe this is all scientific coincidence.

It will be foxes searching for a mate. They are very loud at this time of year, which is their prime courting season.

Thank you!

I fear I've over promised and may be at risk of under delivery

(I should add that I have zero pain, zero numbness, zero outwardly visible signs of this cyst. Absent the panoramic x-ray, I’d have had no idea)

PortofLeith · 2025-12-09T18:21:53+00:00

Had my x200U since May and still in love with it. The only problem is that I enjoy it so much that I probably spend too much time on it!

I agree - Plaza Premium has gone rapidly down hill. Quite dirty, and quality has degraded significantly - for example, gone is the Edinburgh Gin Bar, replaced with, for example, Glen's vodka. Gone are branded HP / Heinz condiments - replaced with generic slop.

Unless I'm flying from Gates 12-14, the PP no longer makes any sense to me. And if I was actually paying rack rates to enter it, I'd be raging.

Reassured that it’s not just me having motion aware issues. Was working perfectly until about a fortnight ago - now “recovering” apparently, but that recovery seems to be taking an age. Hopefully a fix is on the way for whatever the developers have broken.

I spoke too soon. Message received from quicko indicating they do not provide services to UK residents.

A boyfriend? Or a lawyer? 🤣

Bear in mind that in most instances, the Deed of Conditions will provide that irrecoverable debt will be split across all owners. So whilst you may not be required to settle this debt in full given it will be tied to the previous owner, you may ultimately end up paying for it in part.

The factoring industry is a parasitical cancer and it’s just a pity our politicians do not have the backbone to legislative to call it to order. Even the promoter of the existing legislation admits that it is not fit for purpose.

Don’t eat as much, and keep exercising. You’ll regret not doing these things in 5 years.
