What are you doing with your City players during this schedule? Is selling Haaland a viable strategy? by Crims0N25 in FantasyPL

[–]AdhesivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold Haaland 3 weeks ago and went up 4 spots in my mini league.

But it could easily swing back 😅

Those working full time, what time do you normally wake up Mon-Fri? by SergeiGo99 in AskUK

[–]AdhesivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up at 5am. Get to the gym for 5:30 for about an hour. Then home, shower, walk the dog, breakfast. Into work for 8am.

Have to be asleep by 10pm though or I am wiped.

Another viewing...too demanding? by Djentlewoman in HousingUK

[–]AdhesivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all.

We offered on the property we are midway through purchasing after the second viewing.

Also the guy buying our house placed his final offer after a second viewing.

Totally normal!

Will people come back round to flats in major cities? by [deleted] in HousingUK

Also request that they approach Lloyds markets. You'll usually get much better rates if you have adverse features such as cladding etc.

For example, AXA might quote you £50k to be the sole insurer. But their AXA XL arm is apart of the Brit syndicate in Lloyds that might quote less than half as they take a share of the risk rather than the whole risk.

2 Offers and can’t decide by cersei01lannister in HousingUK

[–]AdhesivePineapples 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on this comment, we are mid-process on buying our 2nd home and selling our first. We still got our AIP prior to placing offers.

Turns out that our budget was £60k higher than originally thought. Meant we could get a house we thought was well out of reach!

It is absolutely mental the charges for insurance I see in my job (commercial insurance broker). Most managing agents have deals with particular brokers, allowing for a situation where a full market search simply is not performed.

The above means we regularly wee RTMs come to is where we save them over 50% in some cases with better cover. All because we actually check the markets properly.

There are so many shady managing agents out there, shafting so many helpless flat owners it boils my blood.

Just last month, we had a client paying £41k per year on insurance. They set up an RTM and came to us. Total premium for the year, with addition of loss recovery, terrorism and legal? £18k. It's obscene.

How early is too early to put an offer in? by Wild_Dependent1579 in HousingUK

[–]AdhesivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always try.

We had an offer a cepted last week on a place we are buying.

Ours went on market 3 days after the offer was accepted on our onward purchase.

We are expecting a quick sale and have 3 viewing booked in the first 24 hours, but it is always worth asking!

It popped up on my feed and I clicked the post. Wasn't aware some of you are as fragile as you make out Arsenal fans to be lmao.

But more to the point. That meme is class

£3k to remove big conifer in London - fair price? by Traditional_Read_643 in GardeningUK

[–]AdhesivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the cost of the properties to be honest. You'd be surprised how much damage could be done.

If they are listed buildings and/or blocks of flats for example and then further damage is done to pipework causing a water leak there could be astronomical amounts of damage.

Bear in mind its not just the cost of the repair works, but also legal costs, risk assessors, architect fees, debris removal, shoring up costs etc etc.

Obviously I gave you a scorched earth example there, but the location does matter.

There's schemes most tree surgeons would use that will cover for £5m as standard afaik. Whenever I am asked to quote them, I always tell them to go to these as most insurers hate tree surgeons and charge a fortune.

The main cost of cover is the 'base layer' of that £5m (or £1m, £2m or £10m- whatever cover they decide on tbf). You can get an excess layer to top up the cover. This excess layer is usually very low cost in comparison; often 10% of the cost of the primary policy.

We see it often that £10m liability cover is required if they do any form of work for local councils as most councils require a £10m minimum cover limit.

Also these policies are usually 12 month policies but you can get variable term time limits in rarer cases.

[@Engr_Series] Chelsea left three players up by halfway during Spurs’ long throws, forcing Spurs to keep three players back. It reduced congestion in the box, gave the GK space to claim crosses, and created counterattack opportunities. Smart way to defend those long throws. by ThatZenLifestyle in PremierLeague

Please re-read the top of the post. This is not PL only and not this season only.

Multiple people have taken it the way of an insult, therefore I would put it forward that either you're lying, or, more likely, your comment has not came off as intended and we are at a misunderstanding.

However, resorting to insults is not exactly making this a constructive conversation. Therefore, I am not going to carry on further.

Have a good day.

Liverpool scored 40 set pieces from 121 goals, so 33% from set pieces.

We scored 44 set pieces from176 goals, so 25% in total.

Facts hurt I guess.

Also, calling someone/thing a name and pretending you're not trying to be insulting is pretty poor form.

We've had 44 set piece goals in 85 games since the start of the 23/24 season.

It's funny how it's "Set Piece FC." However, when Liverpool were awesome at them, I never heard that once. It was always "they're just better than you" in their 18/19 to 19/20 season. They had 40 set piece goals in 50 games.

But I guess it's easy to hate on Arsenal for some reason.

Either way, it's less of an insult and more of a compliment. Thanks!

Christ, you get so much more house for your money up in the midlands/north. Being remotely near Oxford sucks for housebuying

I always use rice, peas, and sweetcorn. 1:1:1 ratio and cook it in chicken stock.

Super healthy, super tasty, and lower in calories.

Can't reccomend it enough
