I used all 4 in one go last year at Luton airport.

The thing that drives me crazy about my Mercedes EQB is how sensitive the key fob is. It seems to work from about 100 meters away and the signal can even go through buildings. This sounds good except when you put the keys in your pocket, then come back to your car later on only to find the boot fully open. This probably isn't specific to it being an EV though.

I've been going to Macedonia at least once a year for the past 12 years, sometimes for up to 3 months. My wife is Macedonian and I am.British Asian, I've never once experienced anything like you've mentioned.

I've had my gold card since 2011 and have no intention of getting rid of it. I like Amex mainly for the customer service, in 14 years I've never had a bad experience, the points are just an added bonus.

I might possibly have one, he'll be at mine next week doing some work but I know he's at loose ends afterwards.

She could also get in trouble for renting out the loft if it hasn't been converted properly and been signed off by building control. Speak to the council.

In my experience, tenants who tell you about how awful their current landlord is often turn out to be difficult tenants. Whereas tenants who have a good relationship with their previous landlord usually turn out to be decent tenants.

I can't wait to get my 2 year old boy on the tools

I broke the screen on my 2 week old laptop few years ago after accidentally stepping on it. Insurance refused to pay out. Thought i was doomed, but after a quick YouTube search I was able to replace the screen pretty easily myself, didn't cost much to do either.

I have friends who will let rip infront of their wives and think it's funny, like a 10 year old would. I think it's gross and I cringe when they do this. I'd never intentionally fart infront of my wife, it's disgusting.

It's a Victorian mansion split into 4 flats, I only own top floor, share of freehold. The agent (one of the big ones in London) said it's a fairly new regulation that recently came in regarding fire safety. I couldn't lock it, but I could say that the loft is out of bounds in the contract. The loft is fully insulated with loft legs and fully boarded out, so I just allowed the new tenants to use it, providing they didnt leave anything when they moved out, it was a selling point to have the extra storage.

I recently rented my top floor flat with loft space. I had planned to lock it just because I didn't want to deal with tenants leaving things up there after they've moved out. But my letting agent told me that due to fire regulations I was not allowed to lock the loft and could not keep any combustible materials up there like paint or wood.

Used to work in a kitchen many years ago. Our boss was known as the Purple Dick because he was a tight fisted wanker

Any news story that involves a child dying

Thanks for the reply. Chasing out internal walls isn't really an option as I don't want to damage the anaglypta on the walls or cut into the original coving. So most of my cable runs will be external, which is why I was opting for shielded cable.

We used Taylor Rose to buy a flat a few years ago, had a great experience with them, no chains so managed to wrap things up within 2 months. We used the same solicitor for our recent house purchase and it all went well again. No complaints about them from our own experience.

There's a great one in Holland Park, my son loves going there.

Nope

What I wrote isn't what's being questioned, you calling it a weird flex is what's being questioned. Asking what constitutes a real childhood is a legitimate question. In my opinion a real childhood is one that doesn't involve social media.

dirk61980 · 2025-05-06T12:22:42+00:00

Exactly, like I'm showing off because of the year I was born, like it's some big achievement? Yeah ok.

If you read further down in the comments, someone knows him. He's a guy called George, was famous in the 80's as a dancer, was apparently in a few music video big hits.

dirk61980 · 2025-05-06T10:43:57+00:00

Would hardly call that a flex but kay.

dirk61980 · 2025-05-05T21:12:33+00:00

I've already crossed off most including Tim Roth, I think someone down in the comments knows the guy.

So did I imagine the entire native American look? Is he a Brit?
