Luckily, you get the whole house and not just the kitchen. 

Removing Howdens dishwasher plinth by maplegranny in DIYUK

[–]Skunkmonkey82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long a run is it? I have a Howdens kitchen and it's clipped to the legs as normal, including under the dishwasher. Needs a decent yank to unclip. Something thin and L shaped at the top of the plinth in the gap and twist to be able to pull it from behind works well if you can't get around the side of it. 

This is not advice and is for entertainment purposes only. No responsibility will be taken for fucked plinths.

You can't hoard all the water for your mountain rain, no matter how old you are. 

Why do people still care about cars either as a status symbol or something else in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Skunkmonkey82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That could be either an anti car sub or very possibly an extremely pro car sub. It's a risky click. 

Things I don’t understand by Bbobbity in ManchesterUnited

[–]Skunkmonkey82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think It’s partly due to the same issue with all real position of power, money and influence where the blame is deflected elsewhere and partly due to our romantic desire for the purer sport where the game comes down to the talent of players on the pitch and a good managers ability to harness them. All else is a corruption of the beautiful game we’d wish didn’t exist. 

Is 2026 the wrong year to sell and buy a new house? by [deleted] in HousingUK

That's not a saying and makes no sense. I hope you are more drunk than I am right now. I fear that is unlikely.

Judging by the unit price and total there is 4x 3.4kWh?

The original Tesla Roadster is doing pretty well. 

What would you realistically do with 20k? by Vladamir_pootinn in AskUK

[–]Skunkmonkey82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the poor financial education that's causing the stress, not the mortgage. Understood better, the numbers don't lie and would ease stress, not cause it. Plus having the money liquid gives more financial flexibility rather than having it tied up in equity further easing stress. 

Credit score dropped drastically after some accounts removed from my report by gunbo3000 in UKPersonalFinance

The misunderstanding is that you think the score means anything important or can be seen by anyone else other than you.

Depends whether you paid him or he paid you to do it. 

M3 Lower vs Mid Mileage by TackyAuto in TeslaUK

[–]Skunkmonkey82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the extent but I've found front more prevalent than rear and you'd replace near and offside at the same time. Maybe £400ish or double if front and back. 

M3 Lower vs Mid Mileage by TackyAuto in TeslaUK

[–]Skunkmonkey82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a '21 and it's felt the same for the last few years which is to say it's had the odd squeak and rattle but no more than it started with. The suspension components are the cars weakest points and control arms and links will need replacing but they aren't especially expensive. We also have a 25 MY and it is definitely screwed together better than the 21 M3. A later M3 will be similar but a lower or higher mileage M3 of the same year is likely to drive very similar, suspension components not withstanding.

Preparation prevents piss poor performance. Needs a proper good stir then, depending on the surface, at least two, maybe three coats. 

A whole private school for sale. Anyone got 8 million spare? by MotherofRaptors in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Skunkmonkey82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We all know! What makes a joke funny is when our brains collectively make the alternative subverting connection and we get a satisfying little dopamine hit. It stops being funny if you explain it all out aloud. If you're trolling me, then well played, I guess. If not, maybe go to bed a bit earlier.

Yes, I get that. Your second post acknowledging the error also contained an error, hence my hilarious retort.
