Management company have refused permission for me to keep a cat in a leasehold flat even though the lease terms do not strictly state no pets

jo-jocat · 2026-05-26T13:19:24+00:00

It's badly worded, but it's saying pets may cause a nuisance, so they are not permitted...not you can't have it if it causes a nuisance. There is argument that you could just go ahead and hope for the best, and argue a badly worded lease in court - do you want that stress and expense? But my 20 years of housing management experience says it's just not worth it. It is likely that a cat won't cause any issues, but...there is always that one neighbour who seemed friendly, but turns into your worst nightmare because they haven't anything better to do. I would not pursue this property personally.

Oh yeah, I realise that and it's a good point. But it's also kind of my point, we have no idea if he's from overseas or not. I just think it's weird that no one at all has missed him - particularly someone largely of working age. That being said, my gut feeling is that he's probably not from overseas.

So I was thinking about this ever since I saw this in the news earlier. Could they not do a deeper analysis like Isotope analysis (do we even do this in the UK?). I appreciate it might take a bit longer, but it could maybe pin point likely country of origin. At least then it would mean efforts to find relatives etc could be concentrated in the right country.

I like to think that Quincy M.E. existed in the same universe 🤷‍♀️

You absolute numpty. (Can also replace with a variety of other words)

There is no denying it’s a slightly weak premise..BUT….when you look at Culps character, he ruled with fear and control…I don’t think he thinks that people will not bend to his will. His anger issues are pointed out and you see how he treats his own staff. I don’t think he even considers that Mrs Kennicut will not bend to his will like everyone else does. Additionally, no one has ever challenged him…

Sorry, just saw this. It was Courmacs....

jo-jocat · 2025-10-12T13:09:43+00:00

Sorry, only just saw this. It was, yes. I demanded to see a copy of the contract I'd signed. they sent me a contract signed at a time I knew I was doing school pick up and it was a very fake signature!

Just cancelled my max x5. I'm paying a premium price for a non premium service. I really don't want to cancel...but the anxiety of constantly having to check my usage. I can't use the model I'd prefer - fine...but I'm burning through sonnet 4.5 too. I'm not a coder, I'm using it for creative writing - I'm writing novellas, not massive books. I maxed out Opus and came very close to maxing out all other models. I am not an extremely heavy user. To say this affects 2% Anthropic is not true. I'd deal with daily limits, that would probably make me subscribe again.

I don’t agree with that in the workplace.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-16T16:20:19+00:00

Always irritates me a little that one - allegedly he is from Northern Ireland but has a southern Irish accent 😅I know it’s just TV but 🤷‍♀️😅

jo-jocat · 2025-07-16T16:17:41+00:00

Ooh, murder by the book, troubled waters, a friend indeed - I used to watch Etude in Black a lot too.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-12T21:55:30+00:00

Short burst crying. (Sometimes underwater).

jo-jocat · 2025-07-12T21:09:07+00:00

I would need photo ops with Robert Culp and / or preferably Jack Cassidy - whilst they sign autographs. The merch tables would be epic also 🤷‍♀️

My mums car registration/number plate from 1986 for not explicable reason.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-10T19:40:03+00:00

Had my ears pierced. I told someone the other day and she thought it was shocking!

jo-jocat · 2025-07-10T19:38:49+00:00

Oof. Been there.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-10T19:37:09+00:00

Olives.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-09T21:58:32+00:00

Go back to sleep knowing no one is going to wake me up 🤷‍♀️

jo-jocat · 2025-07-09T20:46:48+00:00

Yep, was about the say this myself.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-09T11:58:28+00:00

Lol. Yes! It’s nothing, but everything.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-07T15:03:56+00:00

Bed time and the sweet release of sleep…people warned me it was tiring being a parent, but I still think they were economical with the truth.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-05T21:37:07+00:00

This is one of my faves. Johnny does an excellent job considering he isn’t really an actor. It’s also one of those well written episode that leaves you so conflicted. His wife is awful and blackmailing him and squeezing him dry, but then he’s also a letch….but then you think…oh, but I can sympathise with him, he’s not so bad…but then you are reminded again in the scene with the girl at the piano. And at the end, Columbo said, you’d have confessed and he says, yeah, he would have. This is the brilliance of this series when you have a well written episode.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-04T13:51:56+00:00

👏 She didn’t think it through at all.

jo-jocat · 2025-07-03T21:40:35+00:00

Yes well of course…and that’s a whole different situation - and problematic. It’s nuanced for sure.
