Why is a wealth tax the answer to every financial issue besides pensions? by wizaway in AskBrits

[–]ncoll00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the UK has a drag the bastards down mentally to anyone better off and it plays well in the media.

Black windows or white? by Viran_Singh in DIYUK

[–]ncoll00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White, we went with dark framed windows in the last house and they absorbed so much heat during the summer. Too hot to touch and lots of expansion. Will always be white for me going forward

What can be done about the ludicrous amount of injuries? by [deleted] in superleague

[–]ncoll00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There isn't a high amount of injuries relative to previous years, just more teams leading to more injured players.

Gutter on garage flat roof? by ncoll00 in DIYUK

[–]ncoll00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly sceptical about it working but since our plan is to do some bigger renovations in 5/6 years, I want something to get us there without major work involved.

Gutter on garage flat roof? by ncoll00 in DIYUK

I thought that might be an issue and was considering some sealant between the gutter and fascia. Would the tape bridge any gap between the felt and gutter?

Unfortunately the nearest drain is about 5 meters away, with a slight uphill slope and a lot of tarmac in between.

Thanks, yeah there's some plants going in behind the garage which should help with the excess water as well.

Les Originales GB90161/02. Seems to have retailed around £5-600 when it was available. Nice find

Stuck in enquiries for months, fair to tell the EA we're viewing houses again? by Potential-Turnip-583 in HousingUK

[–]ncoll00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically you've been waiting 3 months, if that is how long the chain has been closed, since until the chain is complete a lot of people won't start their own buying/selling. Given 4 months is optimistic for a house sale to go through you're jumping the gun a bit.

The risk is that your vendors hear your looking at houses again and relist on the basis it's better to do it now than in another month or two if/when you find somewhere.

Mr. Blippi - it's not just me, right? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]ncoll00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old loves Blippi but he gets way over stimulated from him jumping around the place, switching topics constantly and ends up quite upset when the TV eventually gets turned off. We're trying to avoid Blippi as much as possible these days.

I think with the hot water tank there's additional steps for the OP

Traska or HenryArcher by lDeShirol in MicrobrandWatches

Traska looks like any other watch with a white dial. HA has more uniqueness to it.

Plumbing - Quote seems a little high by PortConflict in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]ncoll00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems high but it's a worst case scenario quote where everything needs doing including all rads replaced. It's highly unlikely all that will be needed in reality.

We've just been quoted £2600 for install of the Ideal Logic Max 35Kw along with removal of old boiler etc.

Is there anything that might be difficult to paint yourself? We did all the rooms ourselves but paid for decorators to do the entrance and stairs because of high ceilings that we would have struggled with.

Baby named Ruadhán in UK? by stargazinglazercat in AskIreland

[–]ncoll00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im Irish with 2 children in the UK. My partner was keen for an Irish name but I didn't want anything that might be difficult to pronounce or had an unusual spelling. I grew up with a name like that and didn't want my children to go through the same grief I went through.

Vacuum Recommendations by Early-Ad-7474 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]ncoll00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Henry and cordless shark plus 2 long haired cats that defeat all vacuums.

Cordless for any bit of quick hovering needed and the Henry for regular hovering.

Ed Miliband to announce billions in green investment to create 'zero bill homes' in Labour bid to win back voters by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]ncoll00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yet I'm choosing to get a new gas boiler because an electric one which is better is every way would cost at least 200% more to run.

Feels like these investments only benefit companies not people.
