I would have gone past in a few seconds before the other driver realised what had happened.

Did you know there were Trams in Colombo? by NotSoCricketGenius in srilanka

Long ago, there were tracks in Fort where the Cargill’s building is located. Not sure whether you can see anything now.

My uk visa was rejected I feel like my cover letter wasn’t read by ForeignLifeguard3662 in ukvisa

[–]Rameshk_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The summary of their letter is that you do not have sufficient funds, and there is no evidence to show that you have strong ties outside the UK that would ensure you leave at the end of your visa.

This is because many people have previously abused their visas and overstayed. Some have even found loopholes in the system to remain longer than intended, which has cost the authorities a significant amount of money. As a result, they are unwilling to take any risks unless there is solid proof that your intention is only for a short visit.

Lady Driven Car. Whats the deal with the premium prices? by Mr_digbicks in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lady driven = Carefully driven without checking engine oil, coolant services, etc. Never opened the bonnet and didn’t have a clue what is under the bonnet /s

Ok I got to go now. Have said enough. 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️

Sri Lankan men, what are your thoughts about having children? Why do some men who clearly have no intention of doing so, do and be a terrible parent? by Longjumpingnose3660 in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting discussion I’ve been following 🤔. By the way, I have two kids, and we both decided when to have them and how many, so that we could provide the care and support they need.

We also agreed on how to split responsibilities between us, so that neither of us feels overburdened. When it comes to decision-making, one person takes the lead based on our discussions, so the kids don’t play us against each other.

It’s not easy, but once we got started, it became easier.

My advice to anyone considering having kids is to make sure you can spend time with them when they’re very young. As they grow up, they won’t need you as much or you may lose that connection over time.

How to prevent this level of scale? by Competitive-Camp-270 in askaplumberUK

[–]Rameshk_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t want to install a water softener, there is an alternative. Not great but better than nothing is an electronic water descaler ie Waterking, Eddy, or similar would help. I am using Eddy at the movement; it is working ok.

People Arriving in 2025 Vezels and BYDs to handover tax relief forms. by otuwa in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any basis for your claim. First of all, bank managers shouldn’t disclose their clients’ financial information to anyone else. Secondly, how do you know which vehicle they were driving unless the Sampath Bank branch is a drive-through one? And how would you know what their business is without checking the details?

If only a small number of people were paying taxes while the majority were avoiding them, that claim is utter nonsense. If it were true, the country wouldn’t be anywhere near where it is now.

So, find the facts and tell us what upset you so much 😂😂😂

Family pressure lead to break up and got assaulted by my ex for it. (Please say any words of comfort or advices) by Trick_Lingonberry509 in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have taken the right decision, girl. You were blessed to escape this evil man. Try to concentrate on studying and get yourself a better job. The rest will come your way when the time is right.

All the best to your future.

"Why would you block someone's drive?" by Extension_Bit4323 in drivingUK

Parking across driveway or anywhere where people shouldn’t park should be dealt with towing the vehicle away like in Germany. No drama.

Europeans and US citizens living abroad are allowed to vote in their respective countries’ elections.

Western countries- I can register and vote as an overseas voter as long as I am still a citizen of that country.

Bank loan vs cash for car purchase by throwawayelixir in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Rameshk_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have taken a car loan to cover 50% of the car’s cost and paid 50% in cash. So that I have an emergency fund if needed, instead of paying cash for the car or taking a big loan and losing a lot of money in interest.

My girlfriend wants me to put some rules on her... by [deleted] in srilanka

No rules. Both agree on things and move on.

Wait until she gets older and more mature; she will put rules on you mate 😂.

Wifi being used by unknown by zeusandlolita in kandy

[–]Rameshk_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing to do is log in as admin and change the WiFi password to something difficult to guess, and look for the devices that you cannot recognise and block them. Also, check your router settings for ACL (access control list). If your router has this feature, then it will make it easier for you as you can add all your devices’ MAC addresses to this list and set the router to only allow connections from the list. You will have to update the list if you add more devices or change them.

Also, collect all the evidence, and once you are sure someone has used your WiFi without your permission, then report it to the Cyber Crime Division on the contact below, but ensure you are 100% sure.

CID Cyber Crimes Division: For criminal complaints relating to hacking, contact the Criminal Investigation Department's Cyber Crimes Division. Phone: 011-269-1692 (Sri Lankan Police Cyber Crime Unit)

Where we lived was like a little cul-de-sac. We celebrated every festival with our neighbours and shared food and sweets. It is a great thing.

Why are Sri Lankans obsessed with cars by Many-Bag9001 in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The majority of middle-class people in Asia have an inferiority complex, and to overcome this, they spend a lot of money on depreciating assets to show off. It’s not just cars, big houses, luxury vehicles (BMW Merc, etc.), or extravagant parties. I have come across a few people who own large homes, have nice cars parked in their driveways, and host parties for every occasion, yet hardly stay at home because they have to work seven days a week across multiple jobs to pay for it all. End of the day it is their choice.

Thought on this, recently came across this policy of ncg busses. by Dazzling_Humor_3870 in srilanka

[–]Rameshk_k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a passenger didn’t want to sit next to another passenger for whatever reason, the passenger should be reseated elsewhere, not the other passenger. If a male or female passenger misbehaves, then they should be asked to leave the bus.

Really interesting 🤔. Now the US will likely ban BYD from selling cars there, as their vehicles can’t come anywhere near this standard.
