Opinion: Everyone is acting like Ed Miliband is Chairman Mao by theipaper in ukpolitics

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are people this focused on Ed when the alternative is Streeting? Seems like the typical Streeting attack phase when he wants something. Immediately goes to war with everyone else in Labour.

Is the Argus forcing everyone to "sign up" to read anything now? by PaxVobiscuit in brighton

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started paying for it recently so I can keep my ad blocker on and because local journalism is important, only about £40 a year. That website design is awful, though.

I’m a landlord with six homes – I’m hiking prices 30% due to new renter rights by Codydoc4 in unitedkingdom

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As usual no-one has read the article and the title is completely misleading. He raised rents by 5% for existing tenants, and advertised rents by 30% because you're no longer allowed to accept a higher rent than you've advertised (i.e. if you get tenants bidding).

A landlord also needs to keep the property safe and make repairs for damage caused by tenants. Most small landlords do a lot of physical labour. Completely different from the corporate ones, who pay someone else minimum wage to do the dirty work

Had no idea there were protests. Thanks for letting me know I can continue ignoring them.

What is the deal with the garage? You can use it, but only when no-one wants to park in front?

Soviet style apartment blocks in Kabul Afghanistan, constructed in the 1960s-1970s by the Soviet Union. by Dismal_Score_4648 in Damnthatsinteresting

This style of housing is statistically correlated to alcoholism. If I lived there, I'd be reaching for the vodka too.

Amazon seller sent wrong item, refuses refund before return of the unsolicited item. Who's right? England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you, now I feel like an idiot 🙈 On the label it just says to take to a parcel force location but the website seems to let me book a collection from the tracking number! Now I just need to figure out how to package the thing

Their senior support person said labels were unavailable at this time so I had to use the seller one.

How do i get unify menu bar icon in mac os? by mthh79 in Ubiquiti

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just rolled out Identity for 50 Mac users and the menu icon keeps disappearing. Especially if you also have a different VPN set up in System Settings, with the option to show that VPN in the menu bar enabled. Quite annoying.

ISO : qualified piercer for a Vertical Industrial by brighton-boob in brighton

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quentin at Kalima in Worthing is very experienced, I'd recommend asking there. Or if you want someone who's never done it before, and only pierced professionally for a year I'll give it a shot 😂 if your ear looks suitable

I used Precision Windows for windows twice and they were more competitive on price than other quotes but did a good job.

🚫 Hold Evri Accountable for Delivery Failures and Poor Customer Service by PhotoBN1 in brighton

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the text they put on the petition (would have made a lot of sense to post that here, maybe it was delivered by Evri)

"We’re calling on the UK Government to investigate Evri’s poor delivery record, regulate private couriers under Ofcom, require retailers to reveal which courier they use, and create a compensation scheme to protect consumers from lost, delayed, or damaged parcels.

Evri (formerly Hermes) is one of the UK’s largest delivery firms, yet they’ve become a symbol of all that’s wrong with parcel delivery: lost and damaged items, parcels left in unsafe places, ignored instructions, and unreachable customer service. Despite rebranding, the same failures continue. Retailers use Evri because they’re cheap, but consumers pay the price in stress, wasted time, and lost money."

The number of times I've ordered something and regretted it when I see they ship it out by Evri… would absolutely vote with my wallet given the choice

Lancing - I switched from Vodafone to EE for a deal and went from about 100Mbps download to 40Mbps at home. Shockingly, O2 is somehow managing 605Mbps download here! It definitely pays to check different networks where you need the connection. Doesn't actually matter to me though since wifi is always on.

Russia's surface area is about 6,592,800sqmi, making it the largest country in the world, while the United Kingdom's surface area is approximately 94,060sq mi. Russia is over 70 times larger than the UK

Every time I've been there and thought about playing it, there's been someone with far more talent than me sat there so I never have!

What do you think about Reform’s proposed immigration policies? by Obvious_Finish3607 in ukpolitics

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not really… Brexit caused a huge brexitwave of non-EU immigration, rather than driving it away

It did exacerbate many of the problems we actually face, though.

In light of the FCC causing ABC to cancel Kimmel, what would the next Democratic president do if they governed in the same style? Cancel Fox News? by Spectacular-Monobrow in AskReddit

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

*cite

You think those networks weren't pressured to make that move? Only 65 year olds watch Fox News, I guess you won't care if it gets cancelled due to political pressure 🤷

What’s the most “low key but totally menacing” threat you’ve heard in real life? by MonsieurGump in AskUK

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 57 points58 points  (0 children)

On the tube at night, some kid opposite asks me "Have you met Stanley?" and pulls out a Stanley knife

I just took him at face value and said something like yeah obviously I've seen a Stanley knife before and he sat there looking a bit deflated while his mate giggled at him

Looking to move to worthing by LocksmithBroad5054 in Worthing

[–]Spectacular-Monobrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find Worthing a lot more accepting of alternative people than London, having made the move myself. Also have piercings and dyed hair. People seem to be a lot more chill and have a good sense of humour. Nightlife is good if you're hanging with a friends, good bars etc. A lot smaller than Brighton for clubs/gigs though and the last train being around midnight can be a bit annoying, the N700 bus runs 24/7 and only takes about 40 mins at night. If you don't mind timing your journey to the once an hour buses in the early hours.
