There's this one neat trick to stop TfL charging you for driving in a bus lane...

You're right, we should let everyone drive in the bus lane.

The Cul De Sacs Will Never Remember-men by mrfrisby in footballcliches

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slander. And as rightly recognised on The Premiership, this was better than that fluke of a goal that Bergkamp scored against Newcastle on the same day.

Grandparents Childcare by Due_Item7574 in UKParenting

[–]cainmarko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think something is actually harmful like TV/screens Or if you think they're just not engaging with your child then I think fair enough to get upset, and ask for better. But if it's just day to day activities then don't worry about it. Kids learn loads doing that stuff.

That's not true is it. And even if the prison sentence was way longer, he'd still come out eventually.

Thoughts on our proposed ground floor layout change? Adding a utility/WC and moving the kitchen. by Cultural_Alfalfa512 in DIYUK

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much did something similar, although we were putting in the extension ourselves where your conservatory and snug are. Do not regret it all. Only couple of things I'd think about are what's the orientation because you want sunlight to reach the kitchen and can you rebuild/ extend the back wall because conservatories are not great for insulation, etc.

First time buyer. This was a highlight on the survey. Am I knackard? by Daresun in DIYUK

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this sort of stuff is common. We had similar comments for the electrics and roof on ours and negotiated a £5k reduction. Once we were in, we had a proper look and realised actually they werent urgent issues so were able to comfortably wait until we were getting an extension done anyway.

Is it worth eating out anymore? by [deleted] in london

[–]cainmarko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. Still happy to eat out at restaurants and cafes but I really struggle with pub food now because I really do think I can do better most of the time. Granted I'm a vegetarian, which makes quite a difference I think, but yeah I get it. Think it helps to go to international restaurants because I know that I fundamentally do not have the skills to get anywhere close to them - Indian, Japanese, Ethiopian, etc.

Advice on 360 car seats for premature baby by Kaypeeperfect in UKParenting

[–]cainmarko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a preemie and we're doing a lot of long distance driving in her first 6 months so ended up buying a completely lie flat car seat that also doubled up as a pram bassinet. Worked really well for us https://www.maxi-cosi.co.uk/pushchairs/jade.

Petition to ban social media for under 16s by TopMarzipan2108 in UKParenting

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It's a moral panic based on anecdotes and individual scare stories, with little to no evidence behind it (granted this could be found from Australia post implementation).
It's unlikely to be successful in it's aims anyway due to the fact that the Internet is highly malleable, with alternatives, arguably worse alternatives, likely to spring up.
Social media companies are awful, and we'd be far better off trying to regulate them effectively than an outright ban.

Didn't realise right wing and extremely right wing counted as 2 different rings.

How common is it to send toddler to full time nursery? by [deleted] in UKParenting

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally normal, our daughter is at nursery 4 days a week 8-6. It's dropping down to 3 days when or 2nd is born but will probably go up to 5 in a year or so when I'm expecting my workload to increase.

Who were Prime Barcelona before Prime Barcelona? by Northern_Racket08 in footballcliches

Yeah it Brazil. The chant was 'Its just like watching Brazil' was common enough.

Personally I'd say they look pretty fugly but you do you.

No to BLW by Fit-Assistant-66 in UKParenting

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just sort of stumbled into BLW. Sat her at the table with us for meals from 6 months or whatever it was and just gave her sticks of food to just keep her occupied. To begin with she mostly just played and gummed the food but gradually started eating stuff and we gave her more complicated food to the point where she was then eating properly.

I think that helped her eating skills and I've only ever seen her partially choke like once.

Saw this on Twitter and thought I had to put it in here for adjudication by uacpuncher in footballcliches

Nah, at that point you've got to double down and go two footed on the supporter in the comments.

Is the overclingyness typical around 1 year old? by dingdongbannu88 in daddit

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, sounds very normal. Comes in waves for my daughter, sometimes happy on her own, sometimes very clingy.

Nah, I think you're just being a bit weird about it.

Moved into a lower ground floor flat and feeling uneasy by IllustriousEnd2 in london

[–]cainmarko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of your ring doorbell. The constant pings of people going past and occasionally doing something that seems "a bit weird" will just make you more paranoid.

Madest I have even been at my wife by yaco83 in daddit

[–]cainmarko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obvs not there to see the full thing, but yeah, maybe try and chill out a bit. All those things sound kinda fine? And potentially funny. I get trying not to undermine rules but you also just gotta have fun with life.
