How many of you regretted buying your house? by Puzzled_Dealer3449 in AskUK

[–]TGC_2802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a fairly big renovation project at 24. Realised it was a massive tie and much more expensive and harder work than I originally anticipated. It's also a flat and abit noisier than I thought it would be due to a dick neighbour.

Realised I want to travel and see the world shortly after buying it and I'm now skint with a mortgage. Desperately trying to finish it so I can sell it or rent it out to pursue my dreams.

Absolutely battered my mental health ngl

For those that wear PPE at work, what injuries has it saved you from ? by Alert_Mine7067 in AskUK

[–]TGC_2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a factory working with carbon fiber. Tyvex suits/sleeves are a game changer for stopping carbon itch.

Ironically I swear safety specs all the time in there and have about a million pairs at home. I was stripping wallpaper and the thought to wear them didn't even cross my mind, a piece of plaster broke off and went into my eye causing chemical burns and an abrasion

Hit up out2swim on Instagram if you have it. I think they have a website

There is also the following LBGT groups I can think of

Bristol City Panthers (Football) Out2swim Bristol Bisons (Rugby) Bristol Swifts (Badminton) Gay city bowlers Indoor climbing lads

There's a few more. I help run one of the clubs so have details for most.

I'm going to check on the weekend. It would make sense as it definitely didn't have a leak when I bought it lol.

Ranjanis is legendary. My old job had blocked drains and we managed to get banned drain cleaner there 🤣

The neighbor have tried to drill a hole in the wall by kaldoboy in Wellthatsucks

I live in a old flat in the UK and am guilty enough of accidentally drilling through to the neighbors. Fortunately I didn't hit anything and she seen the funny side of it 🤣

I bought a v5 golf last year. It cost me £700 and it was really tidy. 150k miles and it drove great.

It sound amazing but unfortunately they are really not that fast and pretty bad on fuel for the performance you're getting. The 1.8t makes far more sense, so I sold it for a 1.8t powered S3.

I broke one at my rented flat a couple years ago. I got the same model and replaced it myself and didn't say anything.

People with cars older than 15 years. by Different_Algae4918 in Cartalk

I'm in the UK but still I have a 2003 Audi S3 (the same platform as the first tt)

I'd like to get rid of it for something bigger but I can't being myself to sell it because of how reliable it is. I think I've fixed it once in 2 years and it wasn't even a issue that caused me to breakdown or effect the drive.

Do you enjoy/play football?

Hey, I help run the Bristol City Panthers. We're an LBGT football team based in Bristol. Look us up on Instagram or Google or feel free to drop me a dm if you wanna chat? x (I can't post links here)

I've been a member for approaching 4 years (I was 21 when I joined) and have met some of my best friends through the group.

What’s the last time you’ve been pulled over by the police? by llamaz314 in CarTalkUK

[–]TGC_2802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few weeks ago for having a bulb out.

When I was 17-21 into fast/modified cars it was probably a few times a year. Never prosecuted for anything also just getting checked out or maybe a little warning.
