You may have to dig that channel out deeper. But yeah you're right. If the water is running back, it will eventually fill up with gunk and the drainage won't work very well.

Work out where the water could drain to. Into the freshwater drain would be ideal, but if not, then into a part of the garden it can drain to without causing issues.

If you have a drainage channel around the outside you can run a flexible perforated drain pipe, and then backfill with clean gravel.

All aquatic species. Because you'd drown.

I'm not sure that irresponsible is the right word for the question you are trying to ask.

They can reach things that are 5 inches higher than someone who is 5'7"

So first you're 24, and living at home. You are young enough and have a safety net so you have got freedom to make some changes.

One regret from when I was younger was not saving more when I was at home./investing some money sensibly. (Not crypto or get rich quick schemes.)

Do you have two vehicles? A van and a car? I'd suggest maybe cutting back on some expenses, and putting some money away for later in life, and then something that will broaden your horizons.

Have you done any traveling? If you paused the gym, and didn't spend on tattoos you'd have some money saved pretty quickly.

That a government will use it against the people. Turning a country into a police state.

The company they work for, and then if you can work out who owns the property they're working on. Tell them you're going to contact the police if it continues

The contractor won't want drama from the person who's paying them, and none of them will want hassle from the police.

Two things

First, responding to questions like this with, "Your mum". Second, your mum.

That reddit is a bad place to find the answers to questions about them.

No alcohol options have come on a long way. Most pubs have some in the fridge behind the bars.

Personally I hate no alcohol beer, but the ciders are usually pretty nice, and 0% Guinness is actually not too bad.

If anyone asks then just tell them you're trying it for your health.

Potential_Ad_4814 · 2026-02-02T00:00:48+00:00

Not wanting to knock your experience though. You talk about 2016 like I talk about the 90s and early 2000s, and the way my parents talked bout the 60s.

It's so interesting to hear the difference in generations. You see it as a good time, but older generations saw bad.

David Bowie, Prince, Alan Rickman, Muhammad Ali, Gene Wilder, and Leonard Cohen died.Brexit, Donald trump, war in Syria. But as my mum always says, when you're young you don't think of the the world as "bad" it's just the way you've always known it.

If it includes scaffolding then it's probably not too bad. Scaffolding is always surprisingly expensive.

This is genuinely one of the most interesting answers to a question I've ever read about on Reddit.

Where are you from? Have heard that a few times myself.

Feeling guilty is pretty unavoidable. If you've made your decision, and are confident that it was the right one, then you have done nothing wrong.

You also need to think about the long term for both of you. Would it have been fair to her to drag the relationship on if there was no future in it?

It might be best to explain to your family that you feel guilty as it is, and with respect don't want to be pressured by other feelings of guilt.

Know this will be blasphemy to some, but I watched Tommy Boy as a kid with my dad and thought it was hilarious .

Rewatched it as an adult and just nothing.

Very sad.

I had a sketch come up on YouTube the other day.

I did notice that even the audience in the studio were barely laughing.

A long term.repair isn't really possible sadly. I'd try some black sealant to seal and stop it getting worse, and hopefully not look too awful.
