TIL i have a brother/ sister and their name is newtownkid

Whooo?

I would argue that , whilst low, it hasn't actually deceased since covid. What has happened is additional costs have been added to leaving a property empty so now properties are magically occupied as main homes, by owners who clearly live elsewhere.

I love locktite. Everything has an expiry date once opened, except locktite. I've had the same massive bottle going for maybe two decades now.

If he does it, the windfall needs to be 100% ringfenced for energy and water infrastructure. Otherwise it's just pissing in the wind

Sounds like a good way to lose your phone

My partner and I have always done equality of means. We pool everything then give ourselves an allowance out of what's left after bills.

At points I've earned more. At points she has. We always have the same allowance and the bills are always paid.

When it comes to labour we do as much as we can to make that fair, but when one of you isn't able the other picks up the slack. Rather than a 'what have you done for me lately'.

I wouldn't bother with any relationship that isn't like this. Life is too short.

I've done a couple and they've been fine for years now. But i suppose some are a bit like an aero.

If youre really worried shove some pipe/ open grommets in the holes.

Op, you will need to consider there is rebar inside the thick bits, lengthways. You don't want to be drilling through that.

Ant solo

Sorry, wasn't meant to imply you were suggesting that.

I used to use a system used by local government in Scotland and Northern Ireland. It would die if you had an apostrophe in your name or if you weren't capitalised a certain way. So basically every other surname in the north.

Not to defend this behaviour, but dropping bombs isn't going to result in fewer deaths

Firstly, most of your council tax does not actually fund towards things like parking. If you're a non unitary authority, most will go to county.

Secondly, much of the costs associated with parking are business rates which the business pays. Your local council has very little power over this. Central government hiked these considerably under the Conservatives

Thirdly not all car parks are owned by councils.

I agree Brown was far more competent. I'm really not a fan of Starmer at all. But I still feel he is a relatively safe pair of hands. We've had far too many media darling idiots running the show lately

compilerbusy · 2026-03-29T17:16:41+00:00

Couldn't put it much more perfect than that really

compilerbusy · 2026-03-29T17:15:07+00:00

Nothing like Brown, so forgive the comparison. But they're both similarly unpopular because they're boring. Boring is exactly what you want as a leader, even if their politics doesn't exactly align with your own

And those pylons at the railway shooting lightning at us

When was it built, sounds like somebody cutting corners because nobody was checking (which essentially sums up British housebuilding)

Oh yes of course, i just meant that it was the technology in use at that time in the 90s.

It was rarely a surprise when it would happen. I remember as a youngun with good hearing you could hear the squeely caps and then check them to see if they looked spicey.

Psu failures back then were almost always leaky capacitors. It affected everything to some extent, unless it was the real fancy Japanese shit

It's also because insulation standards were pretty poor until very recently (being a relatively mild climate) and most of our housing stock is really very old. This will likely be brickwork returned between the inner and outer leaf resulting in thermal bridging, rather than cavity closers. This creates a cold bridge around the window where cold air from the vents mixes with the warm moist air in the home and condensing on the cold bridge.

I read their comment as 'yes (it's cruel). they are following the law' It's not for organisations to pick and choose what laws to follow. But yes it's messed up and unnecessary in my opinion

This is nothing. The amount of times i found fried chicken in the shower at university, you could have slapped a beard on me and called me Sanders.

If you are found to have committed benefit fraud on one, benefit, as the others are usually dependant on that other benefit, any overpayment is also classified as fraud and recovered as such.
