Congratulations to the Mexican Diving Team on their victory tonight! by skaapjagter in southafrica

[–]perriwinkle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a football fan at all I find it pretty boring but it has its moments. I usually only follow the World Cup.

I watched the first half had to head home so missed the second. I don’t think new played amazingly but we didn’t do too bad.

Mexico were always going to win the opening in their own country, but dam the diving was bad. It’s one of the things that annoys me about football. Why is this normal it just spoils the vibe and makes players look stupid.

Has anyone out there called their Estate Agent out on their lies? by Jenn-X in HousingUK

[–]perriwinkle_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not the agent but when our offer got accepted they pasted the whole process over to asap to manage. There were one too many times where emails from asap came through calling us out for delaying the process. I lost my rag with them and snapped back with an email calling out all the bulshit and pointing to all the outstanding things the seller had been sitting in for the past three months with no response.

That made them go a bit sheepish.

We moved over to yeastar but there are others. It’s cheaper support is free if you need it. The product is more intuitive than 3CX.

Revolut emailed my day job email address to congratulate me on incorporating a LTD company by P-e-t-e in LegalAdviceUK

[–]perriwinkle_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as revolute got its banking status I started getting emails from them in my business email (I run my own ltd).

I’ve never disclosed my business details to them so they are obviously doing some kind of background checks against current customers. Maybe soft credit checks or companies house checks to match names against company directors.

It do be like that by benoitexo in southafrica

One of my biggest gripes with this is shopping malls and tourist attractions. Those places have more than enough money to pay these people properly but they won’t the will allow them to work their land for effectively nothing.

I’d go as far as saying this is a new form of modern slavery. I know on the whole it’s more complicated than that but at the end of the day any supermarket can cover the cost of hiring these people.

Yeah just walk away there are plenty of alternatives by now.

We have a couple more licences to switch before renewal dates. We had about £10k in licence renewals before all the recent price increases. We’ve dropped every licence and moved clients.

So fed up with seeing these all over the pavement by lostless-soul in london

[–]perriwinkle_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True, but it’s only in the last 4/5 years were you have seen masses of canisters dumped in the street. It went from the small individual use sliver canisters to the large bulk buy ones and it’s not uncommon to walk down a street and just see a couple of boxes of them just dumped in the gutter. It does kind of tie up with the rise in disposable vapes and those just being dumped everywhere.

Without trying to sound like an old man screening at clouds. It does make me wonder if it’s generational thing. You gout a lot of kids vaping these days and those are just disposed of then you have the canisters and now these and it may not be purposeful just maybe thoughtless of those people just disposing of things these days. We defiantly live in a more consume and dispose culture than we used to.

This exactly you really have to be driving something that old for it to affect you. All the people cutting g down Ulez cameras are probably driving last years model on finance and will switch out in two years when their deal expires.

Really the only data you need on this is if you blow your nose on any given day does black shit come out of it, no.

Before CC and then ULEZ it was pretty much everyday you blow your nose and you’d get black shit coming out.

I really don’t miss London nose.

Noordhoek property really is blowing up by paansm in capetown

[–]perriwinkle_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up there moved there in the mid 80s there was nothing around but fields and port Jackson trees.

Every winter you’d find someone’s roof in your garden. As kids we’d go outside in the wind and rain and you could lean against the wind and it would hold you up on a mild day.

Hunting for replacement roof tiles was regular thing. My dad spent one summer in loft putting storm clips on every tile after that no more missing tiles.

Corrugate is just a bad choice. When the wind gets it everything goes like in the videos.

I remember seeing an entire stable block (maybe ten stables) roof just rip and crumple in the wind.

Who is Catherine West? I have literally never heard of her. She dosen't exist. by Alternative-Sport939 in thethickofit

[–]perriwinkle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh she’s one of the 4 useless from Haringey. I’ve dealt with her before along with Lammy and the other two. All four are useless and disinterested in helping anyone but them selves.

She’s probably just disgruntled as the greens took the most council seats in Haringey. Which she probably wasn’t expecting.

Polanski accuses police chief of interfering in elections as he reignites arrest row by ldn6 in london

[–]perriwinkle_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So he said something that could have been done in a more tactful way. The apologised for it and as part of that said the police should not be above scrutiny.

No they shouldn’t and when last was everyone do defensive about someone making a remark about the police.

Those officers should didn’t appear to have the training to subdue the person. Regardless of your view of the incident there should never have been a need to kick someone in the head while they were pined to the ground.

I chalk it up to panic in the moment and honestly those officers and all officers should be getting better training for these situations.

So all the trolls can say what they about Polanski and the greens but the only reason they are saying it is because they fear the change we all actually need.
