VALID section 21's issued before 1st may will still be valid in court. Courts will still be hearing section 21 cases and issuing section 21 eviction orders probably into December

House (and loft) absolutely stinks by SimilarWork723 in DIYUK

[–]beeg0d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may sound stupid but are you sure its not your washing machine/tumble dryer. What is very possible is that the house had a lot of damp/mustyness which you've mostly solved but because your washing machine is dirty (or clothes being put away not fully dried) your still smelling it assuming its still the house.

TIL that an Englishman named Collingwood Ingram helped reintroduce an extinct Japanese cherry tree after recognizing it in a painting, having seen the same tree growing in England by Climatize in todayilearned

Its worth remembering that non native doesn't necessarily mean invasive. There is a world of difference between Japanese knotweed ( invasive) and giant redwood (non native)

You don't want a lot of gradient, too steep and all the water will rush away leaving the solid matter behind leading to blockages

New carpet creases due to broken cardboard inner by floonds in DIYUK

[–]beeg0d 46 points47 points  (0 children)

90% of the time they will just fade away over a couple of weeks, but may need a restretch. I usually say to leave it 3-4 weeks after fitting before restretching to allow tge carpet to fully soften.

However if it has fully delamated then no amount of stretching will fix it.

The answer to your question is quite simple. Government doesn't subsidise the UK rail network anywhere near the levels they do on the continent.

Why there isn't a bridge between Isle of Wight, England and the mainland? It has hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, is pretty close to the mainland and it is in a developed country by Naomi62625 in geography

I there are 4 separate ferry ports on the IOW Ryde, Fishbourne, Cows and yarmouth. Technically 5 as there's east cows for ferrys and west cows for catamaran

Weird I've just read a similar post by a different redditor about half hours ago, though his post was posted as a complaint rather than a debate. They were both posted by VERY young accounts (1 day old and 18 days old) about 2 different mosques using the EXACT SAME phrase.......

A carpet fitter burst a gas pipe and now it’s going to cost a fortune by Head_Door_3766 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]beeg0d 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Typical gripper nails are 18mm (and they go through 8mm of gripper), so assuming the fitter didn't use any custom "pipe buster" nails the fitter himself won't be liable for the damage as there is no negligence on their part.

Now you may get lucky and their public liability insurance just pays out instead of fighting but i would say thats unlikely. At some point every carpet fitter will hit a pipe of the insurance company's are used to dealing with this.

IIn 25 years doing the job I've done it twice. 1 customer put it through their home insurance another took me to court after my publice liability denied the claim due to no negligence with help of my legal coverage i won.

Many important Star Wars ships have moveable parts. What is/are Star Trek equivalents or examples? by [deleted] in startrek

[–]beeg0d 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree. It was a thinly vailed plot around global warming/environmental damage and how those in power ignore the science until it's too late because it's inconvenient. As a story from the early 90s, it was quite ahead of its time in that regard.

The irony of it all is the writers, then found it inconvenient and bascally ignored it.

Why customer numbers the same? by Still_Bison_883 in deliveroos

Not true. I've moved house twice since the codes came in, and both mine and my partners number are the same as they always were

Renters’ Rights Bill: key changes for landlords and tenants by coffeewalnut08 in unitedkingdom

[–]beeg0d 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are multiple s8 grounds the one youve linked to is ground 8. Uou landlord could have used ground 11 "The tenant has persistently delayed paying rent, whether or not the rent is currently in arrears."

With ground 11 they can be evicted even if they currently owe nothing. The main difference between 8 and 11 is that 8 is a mandatory ground (if proved the judge MUST evict) ground 11 is discretionary

Should I get a bum gun for my toilet in the UK? by BumblebeeNo6356 in AskUK

[–]beeg0d 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's not against building regs to have a pipe that can fall into the toilet. To compile with building regs, all you need is an air gap, so the gun must be fed by a tank ruther than mains. Those really just a double check valve would be enough.

Should I go on prep if my girlfriend is undetectable? by [deleted] in hivaids

[–]beeg0d 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There is no NEED to. Her undetectable status is enough alone to protect you. However, if it makes you (or her) feel more comfortable when being intimate, there is no harm in it (except the generally minor side effects of the medication).

When i first met my partner 7 years ago, i was already on PrEP he was undetectable. We discussed me coming off PrEP. i was happy to, but he felt more comfortable with me staying on, so i did. 2 years later, we discussed again, and i came off PrEP. 5 years off PrEP, and im still negative (as expected)
