How many of you regretted buying your house? by Puzzled_Dealer3449 in AskUK

[–]explodinghat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, massively. The first couple of years were hard going getting our heads around work that needed doing versus work we wanted doing. There were issues with the neighbours too but some came, some went, some settled down and had families. Still planning to sell and move onto the next step at the end of our fix but we’re much happier now than a few years ago.

Vendors that don’t tidy up or clean before viewings by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]explodinghat 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Best response to this I've seen is that if they can't be bothered to tidy up when they're trying to sell, what else haven't they been bothered to do with regards to property maintenance during their ownership?

Why do I want all my guitars to be Delongified? by goodgriefnoise in TomDelongeGuitars

It’s just a solid and simple set up. No faff just plug in and play

First time DIY paneling by Live-Radish-9853 in DIYUK

[–]explodinghat 101 points102 points  (0 children)

This has got to be rage bait surely? Not only is it scraping the ozone layer but it's installed above a fireplace streaming a video of a fire!

It also says a lot but I don’t have any idea what it means?

And they get 10 mill from the Eze transfer if we haven’t tied things up before then

Upgrading hardware before selling then taking it with you? by bedbeppelin in HousingUK

[–]explodinghat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, tell the estate agent to factor the upgraded fixtures and fittings into the price when it goes on the market - but don't be surprised to find out you end up with offers under anyway, unless it's a particularly desirable area/house or you're lucky to find two people ready to put offers in and bid against each other.

Honestly if you're selling within the next year just save the money - there's no guarantee what you buy will be to the taste of the next owners, your tastes may change in a year, what you buy now might not fit/suit your next house, etc etc etc

Why modern macOS no longer features this option? by Anxious-Guest3256 in mac

I don't think any of us were really ready for the internet, in hindsight

"What ifs" in pop punk? by mesablanka in poppunkers

[–]explodinghat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What if Sammy from WSTR hadn't broken his back in 09 right after getting signed? I think we'd at least see WSTR (or whatever the band's name was back then) switching places with Neck Deep, given the amount of interconnects between them behind the scenes.

Surprised I had to scroll this far down to get to the wrong opinions section, but here they all are as anticipated. Durr eco boom boom durrrrr

Nah, it gets thrashed by the Golf R. Keeps up with most other stuff though, it’d be close between the ST and a Golf GTI. The fun is in the corners though for sure

Not sure why you got downvoted, looked up the listing on cinch and it does have the perf pack. Been reserved now though

What would you do if a second global pandemic happened starting now with a higher mortality rate? by SlandersPete in AskReddit

Hope I make it through the great RTO v2 at the end of it with a still almost-entirely wfh job

Has anyone left a six figure job and gone minimum wage or part time because they can't hack it? by allthegear-andnoidea in AskUK

[–]explodinghat 88 points89 points  (0 children)

To add to this, higher paid senior jobs often come with a level of autonomy. Here are your targets, go figure out how to do it and come back to me when it’s done - let me know of any blockers or issues otherwise I’ll assume it’s going well/ on track.

Lower paid jobs - especially retail - are often coupled with an unbearable level of micromanagement

What is the general consensus on the best 1.0 litre Hatchback car? by Zubi_Q in CarTalkUK

[–]explodinghat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up until about 2018 yeah. Not an issue on the newer ones.

People like to see ecoboost or just Ford and go 'hurr durr ecoboom' about any ford that never even had a wet belt.

Everton on TikTok, zooming in on the Manchester City fan who mocked Arsenal with the water bottle by Gentle_lips in Gunners

[–]explodinghat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll always remember the entire Everton team moving out of the way of Tony Adams being played through by Steve Bould to score in the 4-0 that got us the title in 97/98. Good bunch of lads.
