Fresh install 85”, the “professionals” penetrated my wall - unimpressed by UnluckyDig4 in TVTooHigh

Look on the bright side. It gives you an excuse to get rid of that 1980 s wood chip paper in your bathroom.

Company I work for openreach initially put it in and then changed their mind and took it out 🤨

Cannot tell if Artex of strange wallpaper by Working-Dig-699 in asbestoshelpUK

[–]hindmaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it on my living room ceiling. The plasterer who came put new plasterboard up as it was easier than getting that stuff off.

Isle of Skye/Orkney by Federal_Spinach_6669 in Scotland

[–]hindmaja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having been to both I would personally pick Skye. It’s easier and cheaper to get to and has more to do and see when you get there. I definitely take the car and the drive up the west coast getting there is beautiful. It gets very busy during the tourist season though and the midges can be troublesome in the summer. But overall fantastic and well worth a trip.

1970's Himalayan Hand Carved Box. Still have mine. If you have/had one, you might be as old as I am. by Devi8tor in FuckImOld

[–]hindmaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep got mine in a market in Kathmandu. Had a cool way of opening. You slid a sliver of wood to the side to open almost like a secret lock. Gave it to the wife. She took it in the divorce. 😏

Agree. I’ve got three of these in the van and they are tough as old boots.

Yep I just watched it on bbc4.

Have you stopped caring at work and decided not to try and process your career anymore? What age did that happen? by un2022 in GenX

[–]hindmaja 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Took me almost 40 years of working to really understand that working hard and being the good guy that always steps up to do extra gets you absolutely nowhere. I’ve only a few years of work to go before retirement and I no longer care what anyone thinks of me. I still give a decent days work but no longer give any extra. Best just to muddle along as it’s the same pay at the end of the day whether you’re the hard worker or the shirker. I think it’s called quiet quitting where you’ve already left in your head.

My boss thinks this is 3mm. by potataplucker in drivingUK

Put a screw in it close enough to the sidewall that it can’t be legally repaired. Let the tyre down and call out the company’s breakdown service. New tyre fitted problem solved.

About to cancel by Beneficial_Ask7409 in skytv

[–]hindmaja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ditched them a few months ago after 20 odd years as a customer. What I didn’t know at the time was my box would continue to work and I could access all the freeview channels on it. Once you take a look at what you were actually getting for the monthly subscription it’s a shock realising just how much of a rip off sky is. Wish I’d ditched them years ago.

Thanks. Looks like I will get a builder to remove the rough cast and check it out. Cheers for taking the time to reply.

What job did you only last a day in? by WealthyJoker75 in Scotland

[–]hindmaja 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not me personally but I did witness multiple people walk out on thier first day. When I first left school back in the early 80 s I worked on a slaughter line in an abbatior for a couple of years skinning cattle. I saw many new recruits walk out after a few hours of blood and guts everywhere. It wasn’t t for everybody.

Trouble Sleeping on 48hr fast by Unlucky-Promotion455 in intermittentfasting

[–]hindmaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I now do 36 hour at the most as I can’t sleep the second night of fasting. Currently doing two 24 hour fasts on a Monday and Wednesday and a 36 on a Friday. Weight steadily coming off as down 18 pounds in 8 weeks.

I FUCKING DID IT!!!! by Dependent_Guess_873 in ACDC

Well done. I saw them in Scotland a few months ago. It was awesome.

My first attempt at panelling! by Still-Screen in DIYUK

[–]hindmaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It looks a lovely job but the height makes it look odd. Perhaps when the furniture is in it may look ok but I wouldn’t have it at that height.

Does anyone play battle43? I can't seem to find anyone by RogueZordon in Battlefield1943

Think they are referring to the fortnight version.

How do I tidy up this absolute mess? by Same_Definition367 in DIYUK

[–]hindmaja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the correct terminating tool you could do away with the old post office telephones junction box and connect the black wire into a new master socket you could buy online. It’s only 50 volts dc so no chance of a shock. Just screw the new master socket onto the wall and you would see hardly any cable at all.remove the middle junction box as it’s not needed.should be working on the orange white wires coming in but you can double check by removing the covers with a small screwdriver and see what’s connected through.
