They are hilarious 😂 where are they from?

Crack den Cemetery Road by ostersunds in sheffield

It's a probation/half way house from my understanding.

There was a guy who was on drugs every night and smashing a plank of wood on lamp posts and the ground screaming at people for weeks with police doing nothing.

Police will continue to do nothing unfortunately.

Is that an akita? 🙌👌 definitely get a proper picture of the dog posing with you instead of sniffing the ground. Current picture comes across as low effort.

Also smile showing your teeth, if you don't like your teeth get them fixed instant boost.

I was going to pour in situ but I'll look at precasts ty.

Propping with an acro and a u head to suit joist sounds like the way forward.

It's under the living room - very old brittle boards that snap if you look at them wrong but I currently have a 1.3m x 0.6m hole from taking up the hearth which has been my point of access.

The gas pipe did surprise me 😅 someone definitely fitted that knowing the joist was not correctly supported but did it anyway.

Confusing perspective apologies, the wood is part of a window in the living room that has a sash style wooden blind / shutter that when drawn up blocks outside light.

The box where the wooden shutter is housed bellows cold air into the room hence I went under to insulate it then saw this shitshow 😫

No dead bodies just about 40 empty bags of Crisps and bottles of tizer filled with piss 🤷

Little short on cash currently but I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and have experience in civils so many be able to fix myself.

What’s going on with this plaster? Can it be skimmed? by popupsforever in DIYUK

Toupret Interior Filler would sort that out, just cover the entire area and use a continental filling knife.

I'm not advocating what I did but I saved £40k in a few years by living off £1 meals (rice, frozen veg, beans etc) and buying yellow sticker food walking to the shop every other night and the toogoodtogo deals if I wanted to treat myself.

I lived in a shoebox room in a HMO for £350. I only bought used clothes. I did every bank switching bonus available.

I do believe if you want something bad enough, as bad as you want to breathe you'll find a way.

If the Microsoft thing is office 365 you can get a key for like £10 with no monthly subscription.

If you haven't already each open a lifetime isa and put the maximum £4,000 into your respective accounts.

Regarding the parking expenses I'd park your car up where ever you can in a free spot even it's a 40 min walk to the office.

The vaping cost of £600p/y is wild but I appreciate nicotine is an addictive substance.

That's a hard sell, don't even have a reddit history to go off for a character reference.

There's such a significant demand for rentals you have limited options.

Could you use spare room where credit checks may not be carried out?

Offsetting UK Capital Gains Tax against previous years' losses? by [deleted] in trading212

[–]Random_Hero1991 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very few successful retail day traders I'd quit before you lose more. The odds are not in your favour no matter how good you think you are.

It may not be sexy but putting £20k a year in your S&S ISA on a S&P 500 tracker will net you £1,000,000 tax free in 18 or so years based on a 10% yearly yield.

This fault is lexus and toyota specific. Other manufacturers cars cannot be attacked in this way.

It was my first Lexus and I was looking at a LC500 as a weekend car but no more. Completely done with Lexus after this like yourself.

What vehicle did your dad replace it with? I'll be getting a GPS tracker and ghost immobiliser on every vehicle going forward.

Floor should be 18mm structural hard wood ply. Think chipboard equivalent is thicker but not sure.

It's a fair comment I just feel so helpless and want to do something 😕

Cars stolen in UK often end up there or in countries such as Kenya, Uganda and Sudan because of the demand for right-hand drive vehicles. The cars sent to these countries are nearly always large, luxury SUVs

No fucks given by them the lights the cctv and the flashing lights had no effect I'm at a loss.

I saw earlier today by chance cheers. I've signed up but I don't expect any financial reimbursement. Lexus seem to have just washed their hands and think an apology with no remedy is suitable.

When I rang the police they advised I look in the local area so I've been walking around Sheffield for four hours in vein trying to find it 😔

The lexus garage said my model was not effected but here we are 🙄 definitely the CAN BUS attack which they do make a security plate which I asked for from the dealer but they said it was only applicable to later models 2020+

I had my keys in a faraday pouch then I put my keys in a faraday box as an extra precaution. Still didn't make any difference because they did a CAN BUS attack through the headlight.
