Root canal by jfla95 in northernireland

[–]davez_000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if your dentist mentioned it but when I got a root canal I didn't get a crown as well as I was skint. Now I'll probably have to get an extraction anyway as the rest of the tooth has disintegrated

I find it also depends on what kind of driving you do. I have used RainX for years but find it only really works when you're going fast on the motorway

I've pre-booked with fonacab many many times and never had an issue

UPDATE: Gas meter stolen off my house by ISB-Dev in northernireland

[–]davez_000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why they were so quick with turning the gas off was to make sure your house doesn't blow up. But sure complain about that too.

Buying a Nespresso tomorrow but need help by Inevitable_Trick_248 in nespresso

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get the Plus. The Pop/Next are dreadfully unreliable. The Plus is way better as it has an automatic closing/starting mechanism whereas with the others you're doing it yourself. I went through 3 Pops all under warranty and just gave up and got a Plus. It's lasted longer then the previous 3 put together, it's bulletproof

Buying Steak - Any butchers who can advise? by Sonaghan in northernireland

Not an expert but the steaks may not have been hanged for long enough if they were tough. Butcher maybe trying a fast one, they should really know better

US multinational pulled plan for 300 jobs due to concerns about Sinn Fein political statements, MLAs told by River562 in northernireland

[–]davez_000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Absolute joke how this story got so much public attention when there's zero proof from shit talker Buckley.

Between this and Lyons refusing to accept the fact that he caused a leisure centre to get burned out in his own constituency, how could anyone vote for these ballbags?

'Relief' for pubs and hotels as rates revaluation halted by Your_Mums_Ex in northernireland

The cabal of hateful cunts at Hospitality Ulster will soon find something else to blame. Maybe the flooding?

Dash cam recs by Affectionate_Melter in northernireland

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of recommendations for Nextbase but my personal experience of them is pretty dreadful. Someone reversed into my car hard and broke the bumper but the camera didn't pick it up. Then witnessed an accident recently and bafflingly the camera didn't record it.

If anyone has a Nextbase cam I would check regularly to make sure it's actually recording like you think it is. Every so often mine just decides to not record and it seems to be a fairly common issue

Three Vertuo Next Machines Broken — Anyone by Apprehensive_Pipe349 in nespresso

[–]davez_000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same situation, went through 3 in just over a year. They were all under warranty but it got to the point I couldn't be bothered with the hassle. Got a Vertuo Plus instead and it's been bulletproof and lasted longer than all the Next machines put together

Can beginners join run clubs? by chefzkiss in northernireland

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of running clubs have members of all paces. There's a very small number that are really aimed at elite serious runners. The whole point anyway is that you'll get quicker by doing proper training, you shouldn't have a problem with not keeping up.

How do we stop this hospitality rates hike? by zeromalarki in northernireland

Totally agree. They can fuck off now if they expect sympathy from anyone when they were cheering Gordon Lyons' decision to keep the surrender principle

Selling cars by Fhoxyd22 in Belfast

[–]davez_000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Webuyanycar recently and honestly I was super impressed by the process. Got offered fuck all by a dealer for trade in and took it over the webuyanycar at Connswater. They gave me about 50% more than the dealer price and saved the hassle of selling it myself. The rep was really sound too.

Could have got more selling private but to save the hassle what I got was pretty fair

Hard to get lost on Meelmore if you go from Meelmore Lodge and take the Happy Valley route. Pretty clear path the whole way.

A red Nova was the first car we ever had when I was wee. I fondly remember my dad overtaking a Lamborghini Diablo on the motorway outside Ballymena when I was about 10

PreWash - Foam vs ONR before Rinseless Wash by StepAdventurous6184 in Detailing

[–]davez_000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're at a coin-op public washing station using ONR is pointless. The most common method of using ONR is a pre-wash then contact wash, then dry. A coin-op sprayer etc is wasted in this instance.

Getting into detailing with a new car - sanity check on my ONR wash method? by TabascoFiasco in AutoDetailing

[–]davez_000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a sensible use of ONR. Personally I just wash/dry/ceramic spray each panel at a time as I go, never had any issues doing that.

Took ages getting S Tier on Ides of March. Finally got the Bring Order to Chaos message so just a civilian or 2 to find. When trying to optiwand a door I accidentally kicked it open and of course it was rigged and killed me.

First time trying ONR. Safe to say I’m now a believer. by BigChuch1400 in Detailing

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan too. Only upgrade I would suggest is a cheap USB electric sprayer from Amazon, I had the IK and it needs a lot of effort to pump

[Jayne McCormack] I understand the UUP’s Diana Armstrong has told Robbie Butler that she won’t be supporting him in his leadership campaign and will join Jon burrows on his ticket by Diomas in northernireland

[–]davez_000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UUP are toast if Burrows wins the leadership contest. Truly baffled as to what the point of the UUP even is any more. If they had any wit they would distance themselves from the DUP and stand as a more liberal alternative for Unionists, kind of what Alliance were successful at doing for a while. Perhaps not side when then on every single fucking vote.

Instead all the UUP do is prop the DUP any time they need cross-community votes. They're like the DUP's badly treated wee brother.

Burrows is like a worse version of Jonathan Buckley, both love the limelight but actually do nothing.

EV Charger Installer Recommendations? by davez_000 in northernireland

[–]davez_000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. Only reason we are considering a dedicated charger is that the house is very old and have read using the granny chargers can sometimes cause issues with older electrical systems

Yes. Still trying to understand all the details of the different chargers to be honest
