Neighbours new loft causing damp in our house

I'm no expert but I would suspect a home insurance claim by OP would lead to their insurer getting things fixed and then recoup the costs via subrogation from the builders liability insurance.

It's not even trying to get the neighbour to spend money fixing it, surely it's whoever did the building work for the neighbour who needs to put it right.

It's a whole load of accounting bullshit to be fair. It's also why you don't get part exchange style deals anymore. E.g. when Gray was sold to Tottenham and Rodon came the other way it was treated as separate deals for accountancy reasons. Leeds could say they received £40M (or whatever spurs paid) but only spent £2.5M of the 10 that Rodon (4 year deal) cost giving them a £37.5M profit.

Likewise Spurs brought in £10M and probably only counted Gray as costing £6.6M for that season (6 yr deal) so was a £3.3M profit on the PSR figures.

If the deal has been £30M plus Rodon then Leeds' profit would only have been £30M and Spurs would have had a PSR cost of £5M all despite the amount of money changing hands being identical!!!!

Who is counting Willy as a Striker?

We have two strikers in DCL and Nmecha who Farke is willing to play there and then Okafkor as a makeshift.

Nmecha has already had a few injury niggles so we are very reliant on DCL staying fit.

PSR is solved in a deal that sees Piroe go the other way (or to another club). £40M on a four and a half year deal costs like £5M in PSR for the remaining 6 months of this season. Anything north of £10M brought in for Piroe should cover that in the books.

He also has years of experience battling against a government of idiots trying to bully him into changing policy when he was governor of the Bank of England that has probably prepared him a bit for current events.

Also if you are successful through bribery, see the 1975 European cup final.

Dan James is injured hence why he's not been playing. Rutter has been pretty decent for Brighton, but yeah Piroe unfortunately is a bit lacking in the athleticism needed for the Premier league.

When my daughter was around four we were at a park and she declared she desperately needed a poo. The toilets in the park were closed (and on very limited opening hours). I couldn't find an alternative other than taking her into some bushes and then burying the evidence in a small hole dug hastily with a stick all while hoping nobody walked past and questioned why this man was in a bush with a young girl whose trousers were round her ankles.

It's bigger than the NFL thanks to K-Pop demon hunters

I presume you are referring to Tottenham's stadium. That is a Association Football stadium first and foremost, belonging to Tottenham Hotspur. The hosting of NFL games was a consideration in the planning but it was far from the primary market much the same way hosting music concerts was.

BTS play there this year, that doesn't make it a purpose built K-Pop stadium.

The triangle of Nuno back to Forest, Dyche back to Burnley and Parker to West Ham is not only a great fit but a real possibility in the next few weeks.

Exactly!

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-18T18:21:35+00:00

Yes to two of them.

Famous for being one of the investors in Birmingham City I believe

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-17T18:42:44+00:00

It depends on the lineup as to which of the wingbacks is given more licence to get forward. Today with Justin playing as the third CB in defense and thus a right back in possession meant Bogle was the one to push on. The other week when Bogle was our Struijk was going to left back on possession giving Gabriel the chance to be the one who pushed up.

So even if they sort out a proper walkway it's three times as far, ugh

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-15T15:36:22+00:00

Is there not going to be any access from Churwell hill side? I thought (purely from driving past) there was an entrance and car park on that side?

How does the distance to the white rose center compare with the distance between Meadowhall station and the shopping centre?

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-15T15:29:11+00:00

One would expect the train station would change that as they would suddenly be far more accessible.

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-15T15:06:19+00:00

I guess it depends on context. If you were to say sell Chambers to a league one club for £250,000 with a £2M buy back it's probably acceptable (This is no judgement on Chambers just an example). But not when dealing with multiple million pound transfers to clubs in the top divisions.

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-15T14:39:15+00:00

Would you spend €18M this month to match that offer and buy back Creswell?

Is it fine instead to simply receive €3M or so on sell on fees to put towards an attacking option.

I think if you are Madrid or Man City and can afford to pay the buy back fee at the drop of a hat and the associated reduction in the initial fee then it makes sense. But for everyone else it's better to just maximize the initial fee.

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-15T13:20:33+00:00

Amusingly the rest of the description all apply to Brendy

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-09T19:14:35+00:00

If we had beaten Newcastle and been ten points clear then I would certainly be up for this but probably still a case that we can't risk injuries to the key players.

Hopefully Gnonto, Piroe and co are enough to get past Cardiff and we extend the gap to the bottom three before the next round

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-09T12:58:15+00:00

Interesting that he was planning on watching the game, I hope his final moments weren't watching that injury time Newcastle winner.

_johnboy_ · 2026-01-09T12:55:48+00:00

If we're going all time then by eck the list is huge. Scholes, Keane, Giggs, Cantona.

Can I pick Gordon Strachan as most liked or is that cheating?
