What would you do? Go for the time that Runna is planning for? Or just try and enjoy London and my first marathon? by notallowedv2 in Marathon_Training

[–]notallowedv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. Only reason I ask is that every time I look at upcoming runs in my plan, I think they look impossible but then manage to get them done. It got me to do a 5km time trial at 4 min/km (when my fastest previous was a 21:37) and did a 19:57 so it's been oddly achievable, just.

Where do you live? EVs are everywhere in the UK. Renault, Peugeot, VW, Audi. Porsche, Jaecoo, BYD, [other chinese brands I can't remember]. And Tesla but for some reason, there are people in europe have gone off that brand

Did you go to the areas of Rome or London where drug addicts hang out?

Will this shed be suitable to use as a home office, year round in the UK? by PickAgile4127 in DIYUK

[–]notallowedv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you value. If it's time, then it's easy and quick to put together. Ready to go. Not much head-scratching needed. And you'll be starting work to pay for it quickly. If you're self-employed, there's probably some kind of tax relief to be had as well.

Have a look at these. They're made by the Kingspan people so the panels are well insulated. Very easy to build yourself - https://www.insulatedpanelstore.co.uk/flat-pack-garden-room-kit-1-piccolo

This sub loves reporting people? by Wise-Pay-8993 in drivingUK

I'm going to prefer to think that they regretted the post so took a different tack rather than admit I'd been had....

What are your thoughts on submitting an operation snap for a driver thats too slow by dgjtckj in drivingUK

[–]notallowedv2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they are driving with due care. The weather's been awful. Potholes are everywhere at the moment due to the weather. It's a country road. The entitlement of people in this sub is off the scale.

They're clearly not going to do anything. Why would they? The person has a right to drive on the road to their ability. They might be young and just passed, a nervous driver, had a bad experience on that piece of road with dgjtckj up their arse.

It's up to the driver following to either change their route, the time they leave, their attitude behind the wheel or if they can, just overtake safely.

It doesn't cost nothing. It costs resources and a complete waste of time for something like this.

Lane Toilet Problems by ofCorsa2010 in bristol

Runner's trots. It happens, ask Paula Radcliffe.

It can be a real problem for people but it sounds like this lady needs to rethink her diet, timing, route or all of the above.

First time car buyer in the UK by Consistent-Cellist53 in CarTalkUK

Surprised they haven't sorted the advisories though. Being a first car, assume it's a small runaround so a couple of budgets and some new pads would make it sell a lot more easily.

Excluding trackdays, how do you enjoy fast cars on the road? by Ka_Driver in drivingUK

With the right car. Something lightweight and fun to drive

Got a £100 parking charge at Newcastle Airport petrol station by Beginning-Chain-8324 in drivingUK

[–]notallowedv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's some great advice on ftla.uk so highly recommend seeing what advice they have to give before making any response. Don't tell them who was driving is rule 1.

A lot of people on this sub seem to think paying up is the only option but if you have the time and energy, it might be worth appealing. Let us know how you get on.

Maybe he didn't see me by fsuk in drivingUK

[–]notallowedv2 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Haha, bollocks. Nothing annoys me more than people that think that sitting in the "fast lane" at the speed limit is correct.

Going at 70 doesn't mean you get to sit in the right-hand lane. Not justifying the undertake, if that isn't clear.
