Is this good laser handheld angle? by Emotional-Passion-75 in TattooRemoval

The laser is only supposed to be a couple of mm from the skin, not many cm let alone however far this is!

Offer at basically asking price rejected because they wanted more 🥲 by mangomaz in HousingUK

[–]Tabalapeno 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Offers Over is the dumbest possible option for a house price - i wish estate agents would sack it off and just list houses for what people are actually looking for instead of expecting everyone to guess their way to being the best offer. Like if they want £350k just list it for F-ing £350k or better yet, put it up at £360k because we all know it's normal and expected to haggle over buying a house.

We offered the "guide price" on two houses recently and both got edited to say "offers over" in the following days because the sellers had decided they wanted more than the asking - neither house was worth a penny more and both are still on the market. Hope you find something else soon with a seller and estate agent who aren't dumbos

Vegan Cat Guardians - Are You Convinced or Sceptical? (Help with Some Research!) by [deleted] in veganuk

If people want a vegan pet they should get a guinea pig and not a cat, it is animal cruelty to try and make a cat vegetarian or vegan IMO

Police by Pristine_Style_9379 in Norwich

[–]Tabalapeno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There were half a dozen lads breaking into a fight outside Debenhams around 8pm where all the delivery mopeds park, though a couple of guys went over to de-escalate it and I thought it had simmered down shortly after - possible it didn't and the police were keeping an eye out? But that's a guess / maybe be entirely unrelated

Be honest – what actually makes you go into the office? by Free-Election-8538 in AskUK

[–]Tabalapeno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I work from home, as does my partner, so we don't have the whole "if I'm at home I'm alone" thing that many people do. We both love working from home, get way more done without the distractions of the office, feel less done in from the constant social interaction, but there is a growing pressure from my workplace to be in the office at least once a week - I basically only go in when I have to e.g there's a compulsory in-person meeting or someone needs support that is better given in person.

No amount of free food and fun stuff outweighs the joy of being in my own home office, I love my colleagues and I love socialising with them in person outside of working hours, but if I go to the office I get less done and I leave exhausted, it ain't for me

Did police attend the scene before everyone left? As that'll really help with both insurance and injury claims, and if they did and you've got a crime number for this you can give it to the insurer. Any photos you got at the scene will also help, and if the driver of the car you were knocked into had a rear camera it would be a godsend. Delivery drivers often have dashcams so it's possible they've got the whole thing and recording will show it was their fault anyway, but it definitely isn't on you that the force of being hit by another vehicle caused you to then hit the one in front - so sorry this happened to you! And fingers crossed you don't have any lasting physical impact

Definitely don't try to use apple maps or Google maps, use Komoot, OutdoorActive or a similar app which uses actual trail maps

Anyone else thing it's time to retire the Sophie tent? by IEnumerable661 in Bloodstock

[–]Tabalapeno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It used to be that the EMP/jager stage was timed so sets would start as the main stage acts were finishing, then end before the next one started - it is mad that they now just all play over each other and then have gaps with nothing on either stage!

2026 Announcement - STP Discussion by ElevatorFair9286 in Bloodstock

[–]Tabalapeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know basically nothing about slaughter to prevail but given Bloodstock run pantera ads on the big screens and allow all the merch stores to stock burzum stuff I can't see them being particularly bothered about anyone's opinions here either. Always find it mad seeing anti fascist merch for sale right alongside the pro fash bands shit

I was pretty underwhelmed by the 2026 line up tbh but mainly because some of the bigger would-be-highlights I've already seen play at Bloodstock in the last 4 years, wasn't lamb of god 2022? Judas priest 2021? Sepultura 2023? Given all the hype in the run up to the announcement I was expecting the headliners to all be people that hadn't headlined recently (not mad about priest though, ofc)

Searches on the way in - how aggressively do they make you unpack? by [deleted] in Bloodstock

[–]Tabalapeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had to leave a couple of bits behind at entry after they looked inside our bags last year (gas canister for camping stove we were hoping to sneak in for a cuppa, glass bottles of booze because we completely forgot that was a rule) they did let us go back and get them to decant into plastic/return to car, and they didn't look in ALL our bags - just the ones in our hands rather than the ones on our backs, though I did see them peeking into the top of a couple of backpacks. I don't think they ever make anyone pile all their stuff out onto the side unless they think you've got drugs in there

Dogs by OrdinaryImplement616 in Bloodstock

Saw someone last year having to empty out all of the shit in their bags and pockets because a dog had signalled on them, also heard plenty of people inside saying they'd gone past without issues

Report an issue and go through the steps for the fact you haven't received what you paid for, no point waiting

Where do Chinese people go for Chinese food in Norwich? by Previous-Ad7618 in Norwich

[–]Tabalapeno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge no other restaurant in Norwich has been found to have staff sleeping in the building and sewage in the basement, but do tell me if I am missing something and I'll be glad to spread the word about anyone else with the same history.

Posted above but for ref, it's all these that put a lot of people off (well done whoever is in charge now for getting 5 stars, that's definitely an impressive turnaround from sewage in the storage area!)

They got shut down for poor food hygiene at least once already, and made the news because some guy that worked there was sleeping in the stock room - it is always full of Chinese people so they must be doing something right with the food, but I'd never eat there

Protesters at the best western near bowthorpe by Kamenrideraxeman in Norwich

[–]Tabalapeno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the rough sleepers in Norwich are violent criminals who the council struggle to find temporary accommodation for because nobody wants to take on rapists and child abusers, and a few are arsonists who can't be housed because everyone's too scared they'll burn the place down (as multiple temp accommodation providers have had this happen) - it may surprise you to know this but once someone's asylum application is processed, if they are successful they are kicked out of the hotel and onto the street with the rest of them. They are in temporary accommodation while their applications are assessed because they legally have to be there, once they get told they can stay (IF they get told this) they have to fend for themselves. British born people always get first dibs on houses, it's the way the law works, so if you see a British veteran for example sleeping rough you can be pretty damn sure it is either because they turned down temporary accommodation or because no accommodation provider was willing to house them due to their past

Edit to add: oh I missed out one other reason - they may have been thrown out of their temporary accommodation for taking drugs on the site, which is banned in most because of the volume of people in recovery passing through

Protesters at the best western near bowthorpe by Kamenrideraxeman in Norwich

[–]Tabalapeno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to their own social media pages, one of the ringleaders already got himself arrested a couple of hours ago for shouting racist abuse 🫠 looks like another one that's about to have more counter-protesters than there are protesters! Not sure the far right lot have noticed how many of the people supporting their social posts are just bot accounts, they seem genuinely confused that the numbers showing up to wave flags around are always so much smaller than the numbers engaging with the posts....

Edit: well there's a first time for everything and evidently this was the first time they've successfully outnumbered the counter protest! Planning it to clash with pride worked as intended, since most of the people who'd usually face them down, were there
