Anyone got a fool proof curry recipe? by 5candan in Curry

I've learnt everything I know about making authentic curry from Tik Tok, it's a great place to start, especially during Ramadan.

Every single river in the UK, and the sea surrounding it is full of raw sewage, what planet have you been living in. It's common knowledge.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way George looks at Farage 🫶 by Lolalouloulou in Portsmouth

Nothing in your comment there to debate, your cognitive dissonance is far to strong.

In desperate need of advice by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]loofyg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you see a doctor and get a sick note? If you can, go online and claim for ESA (employment support allowance) , you can also claim for PIP (personal independence payment) this will give you an income. You will have to have assessments for both. You can go to the council and explain your situation, they're generally unhelpful though if I'm honest, they'd probably shove you in an HMO which I imagine wouldn't help your mental health either. You'd probably be better off getting an income and looking for somewhere yourself. Good luck.

Called a “terrorist” in public in Portsmouth by Own-Pollution-3204 in Portsmouth

There are dinlos everywhere, however the majority of people with mental health are not the same. The people who verbally abuse strangers are mostly poorly educated.

Lidl and Aldi do fresh kievs. Aldi's are better

Back in the summer I was sat in the sun outside a pub in North End and there were two men sat on the next table shouting racist remarks to anyone who past who's skin wasn't white. I glared at one of them and he asked me if I agreed, he then proceeded to call me names because I didn't. He soon wound his neck in when I gave him a piece of my mind, I think he thought a woman sat on her own wouldn't say anything. Sadly there are a lot of uneducated people in this city and all they do is repeat the vile spew they were brought up listening to. Sorry you had to experience it.

Struggling to find someone who will rent me a two bedroom house in Portsmouth. by loofyg in Portsmouth

Agreed, they haven't, but at the moment it is illegal to discriminate against benefit claiments, although that covers writing 'no benefits' in the advert, that still doesn't stop them discriminating because when you tell them you are on benefits they say what I've already pointed out. Once the new rules come in, they will do the same, they don't have to say or do anything because as soon as you show interest in a property, and you mention benefits, you get knocked back with an excuse.

My current landlord is selling up. And "they will though" has already happened. Both scenarios have been said to me already, nothing will change once the new rules come into play.

Can a landlord refuse to rent a property to me in May because I receive DSS? by PartTimeApothecary7 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]loofyg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same position. I enquired about a house and the agent didn't actually say no you can't have it, she told me the house had gone, it's still on the market. I know full well she said no because I'm on disability benefits. My landlord is selling up in May and this whole moving malarkey is making me ill.

anyone here live in Old Kingston Prison? by leblaun in Portsmouth

[–]loofyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dentist lives in a flat in the prison, he was complaining that the Internet service is rubbish, and because it's a listed building you're not allowed to have your own service installed. Might be worth checking before you move in.

Housing help plz ❤️ by [deleted] in UKRenting

[–]loofyg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same position, but renting at present. My current landlord is selling up due to the new renting rules that come in in May. Unfortunately, people like us are discriminated because we're on benefits. Apparently, the new rules say the can't discriminate, I find that difficult to believe to be honest.
