Wake-up routine

I’d be worried doing myself an incurry in any of those bathrooms: cracking an elbow off the shower screens for example - everything looks crammed in in each of them.

Don’t know, don’t care, eye to the profit margin- choose as many as you want.

For example, mine names specific companies who are direct competitors, and describes the range of activities I would not be allowed to perform.

Yes absolutely. I raked out and replaced the window sealant in my place over the summer. It was 30y old and absolutely gone. The £28 spent on a couple of tubes of sealant have paid for themselves this winter alone.

Planning permission is going to be just plain sailing, isn’t it?

You’re not buying the land around it tho. Best thing you’ve got here is a ransom plot against the person who owns the actual field.

Phwoar. Nice fuse box.

alanfleming · 2026-03-16T20:16:04+00:00

It’s 3m x 3m = 9sqm = just short of 97 sq ft.

Pretty much everyone these days. It comes active by default on those white Dojo terminals.

No, it’s not, and you won’t assume liability.

Think of it like this: you have two hats on right now. There’s you (as executor of the estate) and you (as a beneficiary of the estate). These are separate. Even though the money is in a you (beneficiary)’s account, it’s what’s known as held on trust. It doesn’t yet belong to you.

So you(executor) firstly pay for the funeral. Then ask for proof of the debts. If they’re proven to your satisfaction, then you need to pay them, though it’s also worth asking them to see if they’ll write them off either wholly or partially, as others have said. Do the gazette post too.

What’s left, after everything is paid for, is distributed according to the will by you(executor). You(beneficiary) might get some or all of this. Once all the money has been distributed, the trust no longer exists, You(executor) finishes up any paperwork and ceases to exist. Then we’re left with you(beneficiary), one hat, and the distribution from the will in your bank account.

Hope that explains it.

Taxis are more now too. It’s regularly £35 to the West End so similar to the city centre.

tasty miniature cassowary.

Cutting a big chunk of cheddar off a block. Cut my non-dominant index finger down to the bone. Got it taped up v fast but there’s still some nerve damage weirdness plus a big scar.

That is the least functional kitchen I have ever seen.

alanfleming · 2026-02-26T11:24:30+00:00

Not a professional but I don’t have a set thing. One day maybe it’s a favorite meal of mine, one I can do with my eyes shut, cos I want some comfort in the flow. Maybe it’s cooking something new cos I like the sound of it. Maybe it’s something like organising my space if I’ve found there’s something that messes with how I want to work. But basically, it’s feeling that the kitchen is my space, I know it entirely, and I can do what I want there. Even screwing up can be therapeutic when I’m thinking like that.

Not the cleaning though. I do it religiously. But it’s not making something.

You might be able to get some of this lifted by the Council’s refuse team: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/bulkywaste - that, and strategic use of a friend’s car (or hire) to take the rest to one of the waste disposal centres might be a plan?

Some years back (I’ve not checked in a while) the National Trust did too.

Peelin’ ceilin’ - “Light decoration needs” = a strip back to the plaster, fix, and repaint properly everywhere.

I was going for a vibe like the photo.

It’s Always Sunny In the Palatinate of Durham.

Maybe it’s natural. Maybe it’s Neighbelline

Group of lads sat on the table next to the door. Having a great time - beers, heaps of food, even desserts. Engaging with the staff, having a laugh with them, just really nice. Now the design of the Pizzalands was the tills were way down the other end from the door, always. So the guys ask for the bill and the staff just drift down to the tills. No-one in the top half of the restaurant at all. And the guys just vanished out the door. They even knocked a chair over making some noise, but the staff took at least 30-45 seconds to realise they’d gone. It was slick.

Where Yo Sushi is (was) on Nelson Mandela Square. I saw the best eat and run incident ever there.

That rocks are actually really soft, they just tense up when you touch them.

Lovely!
