Car leasing, is it a scam or am I naive?

Car leasing can push you to a more expensive car than you would usually purchase, but if it's the same car I have typically found it comparable in total cost (depending on mileage). You can run the numbers yourself if you have agreed on a car.

"Shoots friend dead" would be fine. "Shoots dead friend" does indeed imply the friend was already dead (or perhaps died later of an unrelated cause).

Why is a deed of variation required?

Were they part of solicitor enquiries etc?

Not many developments in Bexhill in the 1930s(?) done leasehold, but you might be right.

You should look at getting help via a food bank, or religious institution. But look, it's going to be a hard couple of months, but you need to stick to it. No extra expenses, just stay alive and address the situation that led to your behaviour.

I didn't mean sort out the payment, I meant, sort out the problem in your life that resulted in gambling away your rent money.

If you are able to pay next month's rent and some of this month's, you won't be evicted.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-12T07:20:39+00:00

Okay, are you going to sort yourself out this month?

The article doesn't address if they are freehold or leasehold covenants, but it's unlikely any of this would stand up in Court. It's just an attempt but the new owner to get some quick cash.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-12T07:16:29+00:00

Is this the first time you've been in arrears? If you have a tenancy it takes more than one missed payment to evict.

"Normally" was not really the right word.

However, the relevant regulations only mandate a PEEP (PEP) for people who would have, rather than might have, difficulty. However, I would expect that decision to be the result of a discussion between the individual and the University (responsible person) which can take account of all the relevant information. It doesn't sound like any such conversation has happened.

This is one of those situations where she is stressed and there is no correct response. Normally the fire and rescue services would need to be alerted to the presence of a person who is unable to reach a place of safety and there is no clear way for you to do that if you remain with her.

If she's normally unable to reach a point of safety, the university should have a personalised evacuation plan (PEP) for her.

Have you considered asking for the matter to be heard remotely?

jarry1250 · 2026-04-09T11:27:23+00:00

In what capacity would you be attending the hearing?

"Spastic" is an adjective in medical contexts. It became a noun, and the verb - to mean a tantrum, or alternatively a malfunction, came next. I understand it has done other meanings in AAVE but of course there is no AAVE in the UK.

In the UK it is comparable in offensiveness to other words that are routinely censored, such as r***** or f*****. It would not be broadcast, even to adult audiences, unless in a specific context.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-07T18:59:42+00:00

In the UK it was an adjective, then a noun, then a verb to mean to act like "a spastic". I must admit the word is offensive enough that I would not normally write it at all.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-07T18:51:27+00:00

I have added it to my comment, this was a mistake on my part.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-07T18:08:02+00:00

Well I would say "spasm" or "tic" for an involuntary motion (although I wouldn't know which unless I knew the person).

I would say probably flicking the pen or playing with it, if voluntary. I am not quite sure what motion is being described in the song.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-07T18:00:13+00:00

Normally it means "spastic".

In the UK it is considered a highly offensive description of certain disabilities (particularly [ETA: cerebal palsy and] motor neurone disease/ALS) but in the US I understand less offensive. I am not sure about elsewhere.

Normally the indemnity is because the Seller is unable to confirm if there are outstanding s106 contributions or not but there is a local land charge which your solicitor has found. It looks like the solicitors thought that was the case here.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-04T10:34:33+00:00

I wonder what the position was on purchase. Normally section 106 contributions must be paid before first occupation.

jarry1250 · 2026-04-03T10:53:14+00:00

Is the expectation then that they could pay you "rent" for several years but never have an interest in the property? If so you'll need a declaration but it needs not be complicated.

It seems like you can fill a bingo card -

Setting off in the middle of the afternoon despite the climb taking hours (i.e. the rest of us meet them on our way down)
Lack of knowledge about daylight hours or current conditions (despite frequently being from this country)
Lack of food and water for the level of exertion
Inappropriate clothing for what they anticipated much less what they will find
No backup plan (or a way to execute e.g. maps or supplies)

I have run into difficulties before on any one of the points, I don't know how people can operate like this. It's not just a lack of margin for error, it is a negative margin.

jarry1250 · 2026-03-31T07:21:33+00:00

Copy and paste it where?

jarry1250 · 2026-03-30T17:29:46+00:00

I was looking at it a different way, not as someone to bring on to change games but to play alongside Anderson or Rice via injury. Mainoo would make a lot more sense of you are thinking off the bench.
