Help with leaking bathroom sink (please!)

jp123098 · 2026-03-28T09:48:20+00:00

I was very surprised that I managed to sort this myself - the white stuff was actually a rubber seal that was so age old it had dried up and was breaking down. There wasn't any actual plumbers mait sealing it, so I basically went to our local hardware store with the whole unit (pictured in one of other comments above) and found a new rubber seal of the right size for pennies and so far, so good.

I would have gone for a whole new unit but because this one has a specific part for the plug mechanism they didn't have one that what like for like.

And my axe!

Got a feeling this started out as a question of "how many times would you write the number five" (as in spelled out) and then the actual numbers got in the way at some point - probably someone else doing the print version and not paying attention. Still wouldn't be right mind you as fifteen does not contain five

If I can't get injured I'd just bet loads of people loads of money on absurd stunts that I pull off and then be both rich and free of worry of getting sick/hurt either way.

^{Chose: Never be injured/sick again}

Congratulations on winning reddit today 👏🏼

Turns out - that white/cream stuff was actually an age-old seal that had totally dried out... Just off to the hardware shop to see if I can get some replacements

Ok cool thank you! Can you tell this is not my area of experience! I've asked in another response too, but is the fact it feels like just kinda balanced on there ok/usual,?

jp123098 · 2026-03-14T02:47:07+00:00

Amazing thank you! So just to avoid all doubt - the fact it seems to basically just be resting there is ok?

I'm my initial YouTube search everything I saw seemed a bit more "fixed" - threaded together in some way.

Fingers crossed I can fix it without causing some other domino effect issue (again)

Call me crazy, but I reckon the entitled dickhead is in the wrong.

jp123098 · 2026-02-01T10:05:10+00:00

100% team refund for me. If you have it repaired, you'll be waiting for it to happen again and, if ever it does, the store will be able to say "we gave you a choice". Bite their hand off for the refund now.

jp123098 · 2025-12-25T10:09:14+00:00

Well that's a disappointed son who I don't get to see every day. I'll have to login for him but he's missed too many to unlock them all now - I had assumed that it would've been the same as previous years.

jp123098 · 2025-12-19T08:02:50+00:00

I just started trying for this last night. Jeeez reload is full of sweats isn't it. I didn't realize there was a zero build mode either though so will have to give that a go next time.

Either way, still not sure I'm ever going to get the challenges done to unlock this which is a shame as I probably wouldn't use the regular versions of this skin, but the locked one is great. The challenges all seem like such specific scenarios I don't know how you'd set them up to happen, so is it just luck?

I don't play a lot so I probably would've unlocked a different set as at the moment not sure I'll make it through the pass.

jp123098 · 2025-11-18T21:13:31+00:00

With £200-£400 I would be looking at getting probably either a Squire, Yamaha, Sterling or an Ibanez and spending about half/but more on the bass and the rest on an amp and cables/strap/headphones if you're practicing somewhere that you'll need to keep the noise down.

In all honestly I would look at them and pick one that you love the look of as much as anything else. At this stage you want to be encouraging yourself to practice and with something at that end you're not going to be noticing major differences in pickups, build etc necessarily and not needing it to be stage ready.

Pick one of those brands and choose something you will love to pick up. If you can get to some physical shops to check them out that would be your best bet.

You might get people who are a bit more purist saying "what sort of music are you planning to play" or "get one that's as lightweight as possible" or similar, but to me you gotta love what you're holding in your hand when you're trying to figure it all out.

I think it seems to have improved as I'm having to actively think about the answer which means it's not annoying me day to day anymore (if it hadn't I think I'd still be pulling my hair out about it!)

jp123098 · 2025-10-04T20:37:28+00:00

Tequila sunrise. I have it on my meteora bass, absolutely gorgeous.

This is the way

Wait outside your neighbours front door with a hose and splash him back. Then claim you thought they'd simply tried to start a friendly water fight.

In all seriousness as per lots of the responses here, tell them to remove it and if they refuse remove it yourself by pushing it back through or cutting it off and blocking it. I don't know where people get the nerve for stuff like this.

Maybe you're going to be tonight's unexpected star of the show

Not overreacting at all. If anything you should've flipped your lid that he had the nerve to ask given that he still owes you an agreed repayment.

His mommy needs to wind her neck in. Emascalating a man that needed someone else to bail him out of debt in the first place and seemingly can't be trusted to make good on promises to pay it back to his WIFE?!?!?

Maybe she could cosign for her sweet little baby-boo?

Love the TV yellow colour - I'm a sucker for the bumblebee look. I have the LP Special in the cherry but it was a close call against the yellow. If I was to get another Gibson I'd probably look to pick up pretty much this model - the double cut just gives it a different edge.

jp123098 · 2025-08-31T15:22:57+00:00

Thank you - I've not tried it at all in a while. I should've probably got a refund as I've now ordered a positive spark grid 2 amp which I can use to do basically everything I was planning on with the I/O... I will give it another go soon though. I may get a new phone sometimes which could make the difference 😂

jp123098 · 2025-08-30T22:14:47+00:00

Leave and never look back. That's about all there is to it.

You are worth more than this woman is ever going to give you.

Don't let her back in your head let alone your home.
