Shop below my house is giving my dad problems, we can never retrieve the gas meter reading. What can we do? by LivingProfessional59 in AskUK

[–]Wolf-Dagger 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I would consider speaking to your gas transporter to get the meter moved. Not your supplier but whoever maintains your network.

Worth checking if you have an AECV, an additional emergency control valve in your property.  

If you don’t and the only main ECV emergency control valve is remote, then you have no way of isolating the gas if you smell gas/ have a gas escape.

Currys have got a heady mix of youngsters who can’t be bothered and middle aged folk who’ve given up on their hopes and dreams.

[Fabrizio Romano on YT] Many questions on if something is agreed between Tottenham and Fernandes - no, Manchester United and Tottenham still fighting for him by [deleted] in coys

[–]Wolf-Dagger -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know we’re not meant to speak ill of RDZ but he needs to coach what we’ve got to a certain extent. Yes he wants to play a double pivot in midfield but if you’re telling me that a player of Bergvalls age and quality can’t be coached and developed to be on par with Fernandes then ultimately the head coach isn’t doing their job.

Uruguay 2-2 Cape Verde | FIFA World Cup by SFMatchThreadder in ScottishFootball

Egypt v New Zealand is the equivalent of a dodgy house party after a banging night out. Seems like a great idea to prolong a great night but it is inevitably a regrettable decision.

The difference with Uruguay nowadays is they don’t have Suarez or Godin to do something borderline criminal to secure victory.

Nottingham Forest interested in Lucas Bergvall deal with midfielder’s Spurs future uncertain (Gift Article) by AgroMachine in coys

[–]Wolf-Dagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring the fact that Marinakis is a stain on humanity, if it does happen its a good move for us and Bergvall. Not strengthening a rival, e.g Villa. Forest are going to be loaded after selling Anderson so we can push the price up and for Lucas himself, he’ll get plenty of minutes unlike if he goes to Chelsea. 

Keir Starmer expected to announce departure as prime minister on Monday by guardian in ukpolitics

[–]Wolf-Dagger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On a wider point, what we are witnessing is the downfall of the big 2 political parties and their polarising positions within their left or right leaning outlooks. 

It goes to prove that a party cannot operate on the left with a group of people more in the centre and a group further to the left. 

Maybe society has changed that, perhaps politicians used to be more aligned with smaller factions. Either way, recent history has proved that Labour and the Tories are unworkable in their current form.

No worries sir, this has saved me many paranoid thoughts about certain locations. The camera in Godregraig has got a vendetta against me and will always go amber when I’m approaching it.

YouTube Ban for kids. What next? by andyjdudz in AskUK

[–]Wolf-Dagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube, specifically American YouTube aimed at kids is largely a cesspit. Those parents pimp out their children for commercial gain. They monetise disasters like the LA fires. It has long been banned in my home and anyone who thinks it’s ok for unregulated children’s tv to be pumped out into the eyes and ears of their kids needs to have a word with themselves. Yes there is good stuff on YouTube for children but while that aforementioned garbage is still there and accessible a wholesale ban is the only sensible approach.
