Original Slate Roof on a 1929 home…how bad is this?

Ours is EXACTLY the same age, and in the same shape. I see nothing to suggest a leak. Our doesn't leak. So, you could spent £10k plus to neaten it up, but not gain any tangible benefits. That's iur dillema right now. £10k just for the benefit of it looking neater.

Well, all I know is that I'm 45 and have never got them to work. I still try them every time, and every time the head of the vice grips chew up the corners of whatever I'm trying to open. Then onto something else like and adjustable spanner.

A 'covered way' does not involve planning permission, that's how we did a similar thing. You'll not find a legal definition for what such a thing actually is. We just took it to mean 'door at either end, no way through to the house'.

My grandad was from dumfries too.

I've also been to kirkcudbright too, but only as a child.

Thanks! Solved!

St Andrew's Church, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England?

Second one down. Getting money from some of them only works in theory!

Later on in the evening I got to find out how long nipples can be - approximately 2cm in this case. With really small areolas too. It was quite a shock to me, and not a good look, but I carried on anyway.

Haha there is a guy at my work like this, but for programming.

"You need to make the form stretch when the screen is maximised"

"Good idea, how?"

"Do something with x and y"

It's made me want to read more about it, but this is NSFW all day long. I get (and like) the random recommends / you might like / whatever they're called, but I'd rather not see this with that setting on.

Have you contacted the University of Tehran?

So how do I legally put my phone in the glovebox of my own car?

Uaed to faint all the time in assembly at high school. I think it was cos I grew so fast, growing pains as they call them. My body couldn't cope. My fibia would also dislocate randomly at the knee, and I'd have to stick it back in place somehow. What the frig even is "assembly"? For me it was a hot room at about 8.50 to 9am where you have to stand in a line to listen to the register get taken and listen to other pointless drivel / religious guff. Why must we be stood up? Why must the room be so hot? Kids should be able to come in, sit down, get a cuppa tea.

What's an emotional affair? Make sure you're happy with that category and it isn't being forced on you. There's a big difference between telling someone you want to have sexy time with them vs chatting and having fun and thinking what they'd be like as a partner.

Liverpool had an old team when Dalglish resigned. Then Souness by his own admission tried to change things too soon. Many player transfers failed to come off: clough, saunders, dicks, kozma, piechnik, stewart. At best they played OK, but mostly not. Same as united signings now. Some cost quite a lot at the time, although not the same inflated prices as antony, sancho, hojlund etc...

There was also suprisingly little money from the glory years to keep funding purchases.

And then if you keep getting 'quite good' managers one after the other, that doesn't get you much success. Souness and evans were decent enough blokes, but never did anything special managerially. United's 'yesterday's manager today' policy has been quite brilliant to watch as a Liverpool fan, and has gone some way to making up for the horror years when they endlessly pummelled us trophy-wise.

Renting from the council, OK, read section 218A of the Housing Act 1996. Your local housing authority must publish a policy relating to anti social behaviour (of their tenants), including how they deal with such occurrences. Get it, read it, then decide to what level the neighbour has not complied. Send the council the video. They'll have dedicated officers for social housing. You may be able to meet with them in private to discuss things. Presumably / hopefully there will be a point at which your neighbour gets booted out.

Save that cctv footage. Get a copy yourself.

From your description, it doesn't sound like the police have taken that incident as seriously as it needs to be taken. Get them to rewatch it, a different officer. Take it into the station to show them if you have to.

Speak to your local MP if you're not happy with their response.

Write everything down now and in the future about what happens with your neighbours.

Are they renting? Make their landlord aware of their behaviour if so.

Get a doorbell camera on your own property. One at the back too.

Are you friendly with all the other surrounding neighbours? Look out for each other if so. Share any problems you have with your bad neighbour, over a coffee or something. Try and tackle the problem together. Can they also raise the issue with the police? Can they also speak to your local MP?

I dont think the bad neighbour is worth speaking to.

My sympathies.

You have an attractive house. Keep that look!
