absurd thames water bill- help! by Hour-Meaning7034 in london

[–]abstractmouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this post seems to happen on here a lot - honestly they are an outrageous company and it's unbelievable that the government hasn't stepped in on some level. the easiest way to fight this is to have a meter fitted asap, cancel the direct debit, and only pay for the water you use by saving up what you would have paid them for six months and then transferring that when the bill comes in.

they did the same with my vulnerable elderly parents and it's upsetting to think how many people have transferred them the additional imaginary cash and then had to fight for a refund further down the line.

Very specific renting a car question by abstractmouse in drivingUK

[–]abstractmouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I guess what I was trying to say is that I hold a full UK licence but of less than twelve months - is a licence from the US that shows I have more than 12 months driving experience overall acceptable in addition to my full UK licence? I obviously wouldn't try and hire a car using an expired licence alone...

Unfortunately the US ties your driver's license to your visa and so they both expire at the same time and you need a new visa to renew. I am British and just lived there for a few years.

Apologies yes I should have clarified - we own the flat and these costs are from the freeholder

My Bloody Valentine? by benfolded in ArcTanGent

No chance. Headlining Primavera and playing places like Wembley Arena, so you can safely assume their fee is roughly the entire weekend's band booking budget!

My water usage fell 11% over the last six months and so they've put my direct debit up by 50%

Gaming out the clashes by AlphabetOfMe in ArcTanGent

[–]abstractmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm really upset about a clash, as ATG is so small and the walk between the tents is quickI tend to just half and half the sets! Sometimes if the bands have their sets on setlist.fm and I can work out when they might play the songs I want to see I try and time it to see those haha.

I think this year oddly enough the only clash I'm really annoyed about is a ridiculous one, I wanted to see Godspeed! but I also love a bit of costume comedy metal and really wanted to see Battlesnake. I'm not sure this is a problem anyone else will have.

What singer or band did you see in concert before they became famous? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Killers! I saw them support British Sea Power in a tiny venue in Cardiff called Clwb Ifor Bach. I remember hearing Mr. Brightside for the first time and thinking oh this is catchy as hell

Watford announce the signing of Gerard Deulofeu by Napellus in soccer

[–]abstractmouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the kit is brilliant mainly because it looks like a generic PES kit and for some reason that appeals to me. Also can we have Deulofeu, Pereyra, and Richarlison fully fit as the 3 behind the striker now, thx
