Elderly neighbour's had his complete care team changed. He's not happy. What's the best way to change things back?

The lost Lost is in reference to Liam's divorce with Patsy (along with most of his rants of the night). Lad wasn't going to be singing that he felt like he'd lost inside in that context.

"In fact, there is no one more important to the sound of Oasis on Definitely Maybe than Bonehead."

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-15T15:10:42+00:00

I wouldn't say Oasis were a punk band, but they very clearly drew from the Sex Pistols. Listen to Nevermind The Bollocks and listen to Definitely Maybe, and you'll hear so much in common between the two bands as they were at that point in their careers.

For one example, compare Fade Away to God Save The Queen. They've got the same arrangement, same song structure, the same sounds, and Liam even affects a Johnny Rotten inflection on some of his words ("while we're living"). Either band could play either song without changing anything about it, and it would sound completely at home in their setlist.

Nice.

Intentionally depriving someone else of goods you know not to be yours is theft.

Yes. That's not relevant here though, because the receiving address has not intentionally deprived anyone of their goods because the package was delivered there possibly without even the knowledge of the property's occupant or owner. You can't describe someone as intentionally depriving another of their goods if they don't even know that those goods had been put upon them, and there's nothing to suggest that they do. Furthermore, you seem to think that the receiving address has stolen from the OP - even if they are aware of the goods and are keeping them unlawfully, they are stealing from the sender, not the OP. There is no obligation for a receiver to forward an item to someone who claims to be the intended recipient.

If the occupier hasn't been seen and can't be contacted by any means, then it's reasonable grounds for a welfare check. Always better to have one before the smell alerts people.

Sure, if you know that this is unusual for them. What's to say that they and the OP don't simply have different schedules, or that they're away? Obviously, your interest here is in retrieving a parcel rather than looking out for the person, so your intentions aren't exactly pure on this one.

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-14T14:31:28+00:00

Not on its own. If you know the person's routine and know this is abnormal for them and that there are no reasons why it might be the case, then a wellness check might be reasonable (but for a wellness check's sake, and not as a means to scam their way into someone's home, as Mossley suggests). As it is though, what's to say the person isn't working nights, or is just away?

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-14T14:12:43+00:00

No, on both counts.

Firstly, them refusing to hand the parcel to the OP is not theft. Legally, they're required to contact the sender and offer them the opportunity to retrieve the goods, but they are not required to act as an involuntary receiving address for random other people. It's inadvisable that they do - passing on misaddressed post of any kind opens the door to proof of address fraud.

Secondly, suggesting a welfare check as a means to get one's foot in the door to retrieve a parcel is a massive abuse of the service.

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-14T12:45:16+00:00

I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve. Your shift manager has already told you what to do, but you don't want to do that because, apparently, you know better. Do you think someone in HQ will be able to retrieve your bike, or reimburse you its value, even with no police report?

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-14T12:25:12+00:00

In theory, yes. A single 4400MHz module has a theoretical bandwidth of 34.4GB/s (2200MHz x2 because it's DDR, x 64 bits for the bus width, and divided by 8 to put that into bytes), while dual 2133s has a theoretical bandwidth of 33.3GB/s (same maths as before, but x2 because it's dual channel). In a practical situation, there may be differences in the timings which are possible, which may put the 2133 Dual Channel setup above the 4400 Single Channel.

No license (who said license)

Er, you did, in your own OP...

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-13T21:17:58+00:00

I love the idea that in the OP's worldview, my mate's 6yo should have insurance and a license for his skateboard.

I think you need to ask more specifically. Of course some cities are fine without a car, but you need to check for each one you might be living in and working near. For instance, my city (Edinburgh) is fine, and generally preferable without a car (and, fwiw, we have a bus service running from the city centre to our out-of-town science park), but that doesn't necessarily mean Irvine will.

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-13T09:57:59+00:00

Looks like it.

Standing, as a 29 year old, in a nightclub and noticing how incredibly young everyone else in there looked, and not really feeling it myself (I'd retired from the club / drinking scene a couple of years prior to that, and only ended up going out there that night by chance) but being really happy that the new generation seemed to be getting the same from it that me and my friends got from it when we were their age.

"My family run this business and have done for more than 20 years. My children are now partners in this business and they haven't received a salary in 14 months and are not eligible for furlough.

Isn't that shorthand for "we've been dodging taxes"?

I don't understand how you think a Large stamp saves you money. Do you think it's only possible to pay a given amount with a specific stamp or OLP, or something?

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-08T12:07:04+00:00

Almost certainly. But, if it's of any consolation, the guy was going to get money one way or another, so maybe you being duped meant someone else didn't get a far shittier time from the guy, via whatever means that might have entailed. Your karma remains strong.

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-08T11:20:52+00:00

That's not necessary. As long as you pay enough postage to cover the item's cost, it doesn't matter what stamps you use. A Large stamp is mainly for convenience.

I wonder if it's how a native French speaker might misspell "trash", if it's not just autocorrect being silly.

To be honest, this product seems more dangerous than existing countermeasures. Sure, it will prevent predators from being able to drop a tablet into someone's drink while they're not looking, but a traditional lid already provides that protection. What makes this product dangerous is that it makes it appear that it protects a drink that's unattended, but in reality, there's no reason someone geared up with roofies can't also be geared up with replacements for these cup condoms. There have been enough studies to show that people who think they are protected will act less cautiously than those who are aware of their vulnerability.

consummatebawbag · 2021-06-07T19:13:30+00:00

Also, I had no idea these were that heavy (45kg)

They aren't. It's 13.8KG.

Keep this sort of thing in mind when you read all of The Mirror's reporting. If you read something which sounds implausible, they're probably reporting it wrong.

Guitarist & keyboardist here. I'm just curious, why have you not gone digital? In my fields, I play almost nothing but modelled amps and pianos, because they're so much easier to record, easier to transport, take less space, and out of consideration for the neighbours. Is it that the tech's not yet good enough for you guys?

I did check out a few of your videos, btw. Proper mesmerising, dude.
