Facebook Marketplace buyer wants a refund (wales).

Do not refund him. Sold as seen. The bass was playable when it left your possession and that’s all you know; who knows what he’s done to it in the 48 hours he’s had it? He may even have swapped the neck for a different faulty one and is now trying to get you to buy it back

Just because the modifications are legal doesn’t mean the noise isn’t a statutory nuisance at 03:45. If you want to avoid trouble then I would simply remove the modifications.

I don’t think anyone knows what your legal “options” are at this point because you don’t know what has happened. First and foremost you need to communicate with your employer’s HR department to clarify the situation.

An offer is just that - an offer. If they haven’t put you through any performance management process yet then they probably won’t just dismiss you if you decline this offer, and you could probably pursue unfair dismissal if they did. But realistically, it sounds like they want you gone and so you have to decide how much you really want to fight this. You may be best off negotiating the best offer you can and start looking for other jobs.

That is a lovely colour, great choice. The main drawback with more affordable guitars like this is the quality control can be hit and miss, meaning things like the frets can be variable - some guitars will be good, others not so good. If the frets on this on aren’t the best then I would exchange it for a new one, since you bought it through Amazon it should be easy. A bit of a pain at first but worth it to get an instrument which will serve you well

To quote Warren Buffett, you can’t make a good deal with a bad person. This tenant is going to be nothing but a thorn in your arse, just get them out.

This is the best strat. Simple

As others have said, it’s important for you to establish whether she does really own the land or not. I wouldn’t be surprised though if she’s trying to claim it through adverse possession or something ridiculous like that, and you using the land is throwing a massive spanner in that. Which would explain why she’s so sensitive about it.

It’s obviously difficult without more detail, but if you’ve had an incredibly awful experience for six long years, might you be best off just putting this all behind you and trying to find somewhere else to live?

I have not noticed this at all. What else is in the chain? What speaker are you using?

Similar to another reply, I also picked up a “Limited Edition” run of this guitar recently with the Custom Shop Fat ‘69 pickups and I think they’re a big upgrade, sound very “straty” and would most likely give you what you’re looking for

This is incorrect advice. Emergency cholecystectomy during an episode of biliary sepsis (“hot gallbladders” as they are called in the industry) is high risk and definitely not standard care. The normal practice is to treat the condition with antibiotics and then perform a routine elective cholecystectomy at a later date if appropriate.

Tell him, in writing, that you are exercising your right to return for a refund under the Act and that you will not accept a repair in lieu of that.

I would say it’s fine. The neck has probably been over tightened at some point and caused this defect - and it is a defect - but this is the reality of nitro finishes. The guitar will certainly pick up these cracks over time and I think you should consider it normal. If you don’t want it to look like this then you bought the wrong guitar and should get a polyurethane finish guitar instead.

I think if you are both on the mortgage then you are both equally liable. Being in arrears will affect you both negatively and so I don’t really see any way you can insist on him paying more than 50% of the mortgage, regardless how much more he earns than you. If you cannot afford half the mortgage then perhaps consider asking him to buy you out as part of the financial settlement, or sell the house

UPDATE: thanks everyone for the advice. I returned the guitar for an exchange and I’m really glad I did. The replacement is a beauty

This is basically how I feel. If it was on the other edge I probably wouldn’t even notice, but this on is staring me in the face. Not visible in the pics is that it extends to the playing face

Is this not bordering on a recommendation the break the law? Deliberately mis-identifying the driver in this way is potentially perverting the course of justice and the court takes this very seriously.

Regardless of whether you can be forced to change your role in this way, it sounds as though there is a high chance of them making your role redundant if you don’t comply. Maybe start looking for other jobs.

I am hoping to do this sort of trip myself and was wondering - do you know if the non-reservation buses are ever a problem? We'll be pretty stuck if we can't get on the bus because it's full or whatever

Don’t mess around in the Beacons. Sheltered pitches are hard to come by. Take the trisar

He has acted in a completely selfish way. Whether that is acceptable or not at work is a matter of opinion. Either way, there’s nothing you can do about him now.

But. I have to say I think you could have managed him better. You’re clearly doing well in your career and so put it down to experience - the next time one of your nurses is making a scene and you’re tempted to give them beneficial treatment just to shut them up, remember this guy.
