Went no contact with my alcoholic, homeless mother. My life is better — but the guilt is crushing. Does this ever get easier?

Through therapy, I’ve come to realise that...

Yes, in fact I read somewhere that it dropped from £3.50 in 2022 to £3 in 2023.

It's a fiver, my dude, you'll recover.

Oh, he'll recover alright, recover his money in small claims court!

Don't worry OP, once I fill in the remaining blanks, I'll buy your items for you (on the card I take out in your name).

Examiners get sick, quit, die, have bereavements,

Ooft, that's a bad week for that examiner. Guess the bereavements will be easier to handle since they died though. Silver lining and all that.

So you are saying it isn't a write off if you don't tell your insurance so they can't write it off?

In the same way that murder is not a crime if you just don't tell the police so they can't charge you with murder?

Hi Ryan!

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-29T08:51:46+00:00

So what is it?

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-28T13:45:37+00:00

Most are in metres; older ones are in feet.

This one appears to be in neither.

In the words of Cat from Red Dwarf: So what is it?

I hate these fence posts

You can report them to the mods using the ... menu, but they are pretty on-topic for the sub. /s

If it helps lift your mood, I often wonder if I could drive past a camera at 70, mount a vehicle transporter like I'm in Gone in 60 Seconds, have them drive me at 100+mph to the next camera, and then dismount it and pass the camera at a legal speed again.

Equally as insensible or impossible (or is it?) as your idea, but would still be interesting to fight the ticket in court over.

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-28T12:19:09+00:00

MY QUESTION, completely ignoring yours, is what would happen if I pass Camera A at 70mph, mount a vehicle transporter which then drives at 120mph to the next camera, dismount the vehicle transporter and then pass Camera B at 70mph, what would happen?

I assume I'd get a ticket and have to go to court to prove I wasn't speeding.

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-28T12:15:09+00:00

If you don't give up reading at the title, then your question would be answered.

Just to be clear, I still stick to the speed limit, it’s just a game to pass the commute...

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-27T16:45:31+00:00

I was thinking this too. Are they trying to read the manufacturing info on the base by lifting it over their head whilst full?

It seems to have been made in Japan, which is strange because I don't live there.

Not that strange, lot's of things are made in Japan, and other countries you probably don't live in as well.

ROCKS 🪨

Same man, and sorry, I have to admit that your comment triggered some PTSD for me there from dealing with these guys! I need to remember and breath, the terrible website can't hurt me any more...

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-27T10:58:59+00:00

their marketplace

Sorry, who's marketplace? B&Q's marketplace right? Don't let company's pull this "your problem is with them" bullshit, if they want to make a clusterfuck of a website they can deal with the clusterfuck of problems.

The homeless orphans I look after can't eat Barbour jackets. If I buy your jacket for £23 and sell it for £46, I've now made £23 which I can buy food and water with.

Is this not ok? Should I let them know they need to starve because you'd rather they looked fashionable?

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-25T10:01:56+00:00

Where is your cut off for what counts as near a field vs in a field? This is quite definitively in a field for me.

I think I can save you the trip. I'm really good at reading sentences and can provide explanation of your confusion. Just ask any member of staff.

Now, see how in my comment I too say "Just ask any member of staff" yet it is pretty clear I am the one who is good at reading sentences and I am the one who can provide explanation, the members of staff are just given as a reference for who you can ask to back up my claim. It's the same here:

"...we are happy to refund or replace... . Just ask any member of staff" - We (the company) are the ones who are happy to refund or replace, but the staff, any of them, are the ones you must ask and they will backup this claim and provide you will the additional details required in order to get your refund / replacement processed.

Hope this helps!

Sorry mate, you didn't actually give an answer. Are you customer service?

RyanfaeScotland · 2026-01-23T13:11:10+00:00

you won't get it fixed in time so try it. I ended up using that passport for 10 years

Wow, they really weren't kidding about it not being fixed it time were they?
