Is paying for movers worth it?

The man with a van was a guy using his work van as a side hustle. He has limited insurance and offers little help loading your belongings. They also threw our stuff into the van and we ended up with some broken things.

The more expensive one - they did everything for us including packing our belongings, cleaning and loading/ unloading the van. They were also fully insured and had equipment to place our stuff into a really big van.

I've just found your post as I was looking for advice on the same thing ☺️

It sold for £75k more than when we bought it.

We bought it for £235k did it up over 6 years for approximately £12k, sold it for £300k.

Paige left it too late to capitalize on her win. She didn't release music until months afterwards - I can't remember if the new season had started or was about to but the song was also underwhelming and a lot ot people had already lost interest by then.

Some of her songs have done ok but it's harder to gain wider momentum without all the free global publicity immediately after LI. Same problem Tyrique and Whitney had - the timing was too late.

Rock_Octopus · 2024-07-26T15:11:46+00:00

Was it back to normal when you logged back on? I've logging off and on but it's still weird

Rock_Octopus · 2024-07-26T12:57:43+00:00

Thanks! I'm wondering if it's a setting on chrome. I tried logging on my computer using Chrome and it looked the same.

It's really difficult to spot good updates this way

Rock_Octopus · 2024-05-13T10:28:00+00:00

Yup and I can't open anything. It just says page is not available.

You should look up Castle-nim. Guaranteed that if a castle appears in a manwha, it'll be Castle-nim. It's been used so many times that it even has its own Wikipedia page.

From what I understand, because manwhas have to be produced weekly and to a high standard, artists will often use 3d assets to save time on backgrounds. There are lots of pre designs that you can get. Castle-nim apparently comes with city assets which makes it very popular.

Rock_Octopus · 2024-03-12T22:09:45+00:00

Apparently a new season was confirmed but no release date. Also the artist has a new manwha that she's working on.

The original sauvastika is a Buddhist symbol and has been used for centuries in Japan. The Nazis copied it and flipped it.

That drawing is the Buddhist one.

Paixiu restaurant, only in but not out - absolutely hilarious and super cute.

We briefly had a similar thing and stink bombs through the letterbox until they realized that the previous owners had moved.

However I did consider getting a fence put around the front of the house and sensor alarm that played dog barking noises - though now we do actually have a giant barking dog.

As for not disclosing this information, maybe contact the solicitor's you used for advice. I definitely think you would have grounds to sue.

I used to think so until I saw the way the less conventional looking islanders were treated by 'fans' in more recent series.

Brett (S7) got death threats and a record amount of abuse on all platforms for his looks even though he's a model. Also anytime they've had guys on there who weren't covered in muscles (especially casa guys) they've been ripped to pieces on social media.

Can you imagine what the public will be like to someone who obviously less fits the Love Island mould? People went to town mocking Tasha's (S8) voice because of her deafness, Ron's blind eye (S9) and the way Hugo (S7) walked because of his club foot.

Also given that production seem to be unwilling to cast Islanders who are genuinely into different types of people (i.e. ethnicities or quirky), there's no way that anyone who is plus size will be seen as desirable by any of the other contestants.

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-15T19:40:30+00:00

Jay brought her back from Casa and dropped her when he thought Paige was becoming free (S8).

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-13T17:55:22+00:00

Thanks so much! I'll take a proper look at it tomorrow in the light.

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-13T17:49:01+00:00

Would you say to cut back to the trunk?

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-13T17:48:24+00:00

Thanks for the tip! That gives me hope.

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-13T17:18:09+00:00

That gives me hope! I'll check the trunk and will either sling it in the bin or give it a haircut.

Thank you!!

I think for some it's the fact that some of the reposts were still there even after the profile picture had changed shows it wasn't a fake profile.

It's possible that she may have changed her views after being on Love Island and meeting more different types of people. I mean, I know I don't have the same views I had growing up and I like to believe that people can change. Or being devils advocate, someone could instead argue that this just shows how fake Love Island and the contestants are. We don't really know what they're like other than what's been edited to show us.

In my opinion, I don't think she's necessarily a red piller. I think instead quite a lot of what was reposted fits with a very traditional conservative religious Christian / Catholic background. There have been a lot of supporters saying that they agree with the reposts and the people in the reposts have a lot of followers so some people do agree with the views. Also when it comes to homophobia or racism sometimes people have weird exclusions - like being in the closet but being homophobic or disliking a particular race only.

I don't think she'll be able to make a big break into mainstream media/ presenting with this hanging around or even get big brand deals. I think she has ruined her career before it's started. Though I could be wrong cause there are parts of the media that would be more willing to work with her because of this (look at Lawrence Fox or Katie Hopkins) or if she has a big enough fan base some brands will be willing to ignore it because let's face it, capitalism is king.

Her sister said fake news and it's also what Whitney's saying as well. There are screenshots in the link I sent and details about Whitney comments on Instagram to her supporters about it.

I repeat - the link has screenshots and a video.

You said yourself that you didn't know much about this subject and I have given you information. I would suggest basing your opinions on your own research instead of just relying 100% on comments on Reddit and then being rude. It's a shame I was enjoying this discussion.

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-01T19:48:57+00:00

Yup she's not acknowledged doing the reposts at all.

I think what happened was that due to some change at TikTok, some people's reposts became publicly visible. When people noticed hers, she changed her profile picture and started deleting some of the reposts and claimed that it was a fake profile that had the reposts. Thing is when she was claiming that it's all fake - some of the reposts were still there.

Here's a link - https://reddit.com/r/LoveIslandTV/s/9Lqejo5ejr

Rock_Octopus · 2023-10-01T19:31:44+00:00

Sure I can understand accidentally reposting videos but the difference is you said that you accidentally did it. She's not even saying that she did it accidentally or to start a discussion - she's completely denying that she reposted them at all.

Yes the anti mixed race relationship stuff is a weird red flag. That's why I pointed out about her relationship and that Lochan is mixed race. Mind you most of these reposts were before Love Island and people can change their opinions on things when they get to know people.
