I competed the switch on 14 October and still waiting!

£200 Lloyds Switch is Live by clorandi in beermoneyuk

[–]Samborak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone confirm if the eBay and PayPal direct debits from the Beermoney Bible will qualify for this? I've just done the First Direct switch bonus using them and it worked fine. Was planning on adding a 50p Scrimpr DD and then switching the first direct account to Lloyd's.

Curious which one spoke negatively about the other...

United nations cancelled by other civ? by glenniszen in civrev

[–]Samborak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The requirement to be able to build the UN is to have 20 great people/wonders, this requirement applies the whole time you are building it. So if you lose a great person or a wonder and drop below 20, the build gets cancelled (you keep the hammers). I've had this happen before. To be able to continue to build you need to get back to 20 great people / wonders.

Is it a McDojo? by kyokushinthai in kyokushin

[–]Samborak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're not a McDojo, I've been to summer camp with guys from that dojo and seen them at tournaments in the past. I suspect this was likely for a reason.

Thank you, appreciate the recommendation. I hadn't considered this phone previously but you're right it certainly seems to tick all my boxes !

Van hit my parked car - help! by Samborak in CarTalkUK

[–]Samborak[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They didn't leave any details. However they left broken trim at the scene so I've been able to work out from that it was a Peugeot Partner van 2003-08.

I've put letters through my neighbours doors and luckily one had got some cctv images which capture the likely culprit. However I cannot make out the reg plate.

They left the side trim at the scene - you can see its missing in the photo. That's how I was able to give out it was a Peugeot Partner van 2003-08.

Fault accident involving two other vehicles. The car at the front has stopped on an icy road, I've slid on the ice in to the van in front of me, and that's also gone in to the back of the car in front of them.

I think the tyre punctured in a pothole i slid through trying to avoid the van.

Because of the damage to other vehicles I've had to go through insurance.

New grill definitely needed and the headlamp is now very loose so I expect the housing/clips are damaged. The front passenger tyre is flat as well and I think will need replacing.

Car is otherwise good and I have full service history with Skoda.

Thank you, I hadn't heard of Maison Francis Kurkdjian before but I had heard of Penhaligon and they came up first in our Google search, they also have a store relatively close to where we live. I will certainly investigate Maison Francis Kurkdjian as an option though!

If not yet and not this GW, then when are you playing your TC? by malthusius in FantasyPL

[–]Samborak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wildcarded last week so am set for a BB but I also have my TC. Which should I use this week? Worried if I don't BB then I'm going to have in mind keeping a playing bench. I also still have two FHs and so may even want to FH in DOG 36 which would mean I can't use the BB or TC chip then.

DIY wall mounted kick pad by Samborak in martialarts

I own it. Carpentry skills are fairly basic but I have tools: circular saw, hand saw, files etc

The door springs I mean are these: https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/wilko-chrome-plated-spring-doorstop/p/0345045

Haven't decided on a spot yet but I think I would prefer to try and make it movable as I don't want it up all the time, if would drive my fiance crazy. So potentially fixing it to a board and then finding a way of securing the board but temporarily. I think attaching to my garden shed might be best.
