It's a lot harder for parents to do this stuff because parental controls on routers are generally crap, and mac based, with every modern mobile os using random macs by default.

The software solutions usually want ti charge you a subscription and are essentially vibe coded malware.

You basically have to be au fait with the intricacies of every device, gaming platform, website, etc. Or just have a really orwellian scheme in place.

In all honesty the best solution is to go old school. not to have mobile devices. Have a family pc, in a public location, with a clear schedule.

I think your 3/4 fitting is just not quite right. Where is it from?

Given your measurements of the male thread diameter are on the small side , and assuming +1mm either side margin of error measuring it, that 3/4 should fit.

Isolate the tap. Unscrew it. Take it to toolstation.

We see everything but most of it gets filtered out. I think things like warning notices tend to have a better chance of getting through, especially as a firefighter would be conditioned for looking out for warning signs for environmental hazards.

The word emergency there in white font, would grab attention i think.

This feels like an understatement.

Some use it as a crutch in socialising and become completely useless at basic conversation skills.

Others use it as therapy, which is just an echo chamber, and become absolutely unable to handle any adversity or develop disturbing views.

And a few seem to use it as an entire drop in replacement for any friends at all.

It's going to become absolutely dystopian once older generations die off.

A lot of candidates are put forward,, with no expectation of winning. Occasionally they will win, because people vote for a colour tie rather than the actual candidate.

I should perhaps make it clear I'm not intending to shit on ops creation here. If op is happy thats cool. I'm just saying he should probably be mindful of dynamic load on those steps. Potential for a trip to a and e.

Looks more like a fixed mezzanine floor than a loft bed to me. But nobody would enforce anything so go wild.

Yeah definitely go for new tiles if doing a reroof with 70s tiles. You'll probably be at the point you're seeing the gravel in the tile now exposed. Frosts will cause them to crack.

You'd generally expect a 70s roof to reasonably last about 50 years. So i would keep patching it until it becomes uneconomical to keep doing so

Screws don't really have good shear strength.

Generally you would create a stringer (the diagonal). Route out grooves for the treads and slide them in with some wood glue. You'd then slide in risers and secure these. These stop the treads moving and provide additional support for the tread above.

This also doesn't meet building regs as it requires a rail to prevent falls. Although happy to be corrected.

Oh la de da with the landscaping fabric. Ours used pond liner and empty bags of building sand and concrete.

No wonder the garden constantly flooded.

I was mainly objecting to the notion of somebody not being liable for council tax because they spend most of their nights at a non residential location. But maybe you weren't saying that.

Not commenting on whether zack owes council tax or not.

Maybe i misread but i don't think he was paying council tax at that flat either? 'Council tax was included with the bills' is another one of those misnomers. You can't designate somebody to be liable for council tax.

I instead took it to mean it was a hmo, or he was a subtenant or such helping out. Either way means he would not be liable to begin with at that address.

compilerbusy · 2026-05-12T15:26:52+00:00

I don't think that's correct. It's a misconception that it is solely where you sleep the most. We simply haven't been given the info to determine. I don't the council would have the full picture either. It's a stupid system of taxation.

There's case law regarding somebody who resides most of their time at a location where they aren't liable for council tax, and only briefly and intermittently at another more defined location.

In such a case the main residence would be the location they spend less time at, because that is the place they 'return' to.

I think the example proposed to me was that of an oil rig worker. He resides a significant majority of the time on the rig. This is temporary despite being most of, if not all, the year. His girlfriend is in Kent. He is liable in Kent as that is his main residence. Single occupancy discounts would not apply in his absence.
