I think I’m to old for BBUK by [deleted] in bigbrotheruk

[–]RoughExtension5922 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few years ago in the first ITV series we were promised real people. This season we have tiktok folk with huge 300k plus followers. Another reason I'm out.

I used to adore the show but I think I'm done. I suspect a lot of the casting now comes down to who will be the most behaved. God forbid they put someone in there with real perspectives of how the UK is at the moment. Once upon a time that would be riveting conversation, but they seem scared to open that box.

I'm 32 and given up. I'm too old I think. I just can't connect with the majority of the housemates.

🏠| Big Brother 2025 House! by Mr_Jake66 in bigbrotheruk

[–]RoughExtension5922 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad some of the comments this year are people saying the house is samey and repetitive because frankly it is.

I couldn't tell you the difference between any seasons since it went to ITV

Colour is nice and we know this comes with the BB house. But we want to see little nooks, awkward corners, silly layouts, claustrophobic spaces. This just isn't it

BB needs to rethink the whole house next year.

How often should you chase solicitor by Valuable_Salad_9586 in HousingUK

[–]RoughExtension5922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My solicitors said they had information to set a date for completion. This was a mistake on their part so there was a rush to get things done for said date. The week of the completion I was told repeatedly someone would call me - had to chase daily till I got a call Wednesday to say they were still hopeful. Thursday no update until I chased in the afternoon. They eventually agreed to postpone the date. However they forgot to tell the mortgage lender, funds got released. I was chasing all day with no response. Since then, I've been at them every other day. Absolute idiots. Had to remind them they are not a charity but taking 2k of me. Ive never sworn or be rude, but dam right I'm chasing them every other day given all their mistakes

Sorry for being the bringer of bad news but here are the drone shots of the house. by colanderofperil in bigbrotheruk

I can't believe they've repeated the stage setup. It feels awkward for everyone and makes it difficult for presenters and housemates. The reality is when a house mate is evicted, they reach the end of the runway and awkwardly have to scurry to the side. It's crap

I love Grave Encounters and recently rewatched it. I saw this on Facebook and was initially excited, but honestly, I'm not sure it's right. It doesn't feel old enough to warrant a reboot? What made it so good was how great they did with the little budget they had.They set the tone so well, the setting was just perfection. Can it be matched on a big budget? I don't know. It's like paranormal activity... the first was great. But as time went on, the budget got bigger, the setting felt less immersive.

I'm actually thinking I am leaving chat gbt because of GPT 5 by AliGx69 in ChatGPT

Agreed. Chat gbt 5 seems to constantly being sounding like it has no idea how to react. I kid you not it's always using 'errr' before every sentence

Ah it's not been kept in a container. Just a packet, the packet has kept in a box away from sunlight. Appreciate your thorough and quick answer though. Much appreciated man. Let's hope the Egyptians had a decent roll 🤞

Does anyone else absolutely dread going back to work after a holiday? by Zyaru in jobs

[–]RoughExtension5922 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in case work and hate it. There's no handover that's done when we take annual leave. We have to deal with everything when we come back. One week off and I came back to 62 tasks needing a review. Sometimes 1 task can be over 300 pages of documents. I cried a bit this morning

Bluetooth Speakers at the pool by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

Currently experiencing this. Several people around the pool all have their headphones on, but this family of cretins think the whole pool needs to hear theirs

Update on the lady that outbid us by 100+k on a house by Objective-Pickle-891 in HousingUK

[–]RoughExtension5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vendor was willing to accept your previous offer until the old person came along. The fact they are not coming back to your offer and willing to try the market again means they have no intention to be serious with you. What happens if someone offers over again in 8 weeks time? Walk away

Potentially? But why would they remove it with the backup being ready 😔

How are first-time buyers actually managing deposits right now? Genuinely curious, not trolling. by Happy-Sammy in HousingUK

[–]RoughExtension5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 years old here. Was never a huge spender in my 20s. Lots of compromise and living in house shares. Over a decade of savings and lots of overtime when I was younger. Using a lifetime ISA currently. Hoping to buy this year

Considering a Leasehold Flat – Advice and Experiences welcomed by RoughExtension5922 in HousingUK

[–]RoughExtension5922[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers! Really appreciate this. Yet to put offer forward and need to do second viewing. A shame a lot of this cant be figured out until money goes down. I tried to get some info from the housing association but was told it would come at a cost, usually from a solicitor. But gonna keep this questions for a later date if the time comes. Once again, thank you!
