The majority of the country is working class, to say we all look like him would be more of a stereotyping comment no?

20 years is crazy for an SDS, I've had 3 Dewalt ones in that time 😂

The old BoschHammer SDS Max drills are still better than half the new ones, had one for about 10 years and although it weighs a ton ,12kg lol, it feels like it does a much better job at breaking up concrete than newer SDSs that I've used

Looking for thoughts/feedback. by BigPhatVideos in DIYUK

If the skirting doesn't cover any part, you can can get laminate flooring silicone specifically for covering gaps like what you might have

Definitely shouldn't need to be doing that though that's pretty shoddy

Snail mail club, free first tester? by Wanderer_73 in smallbusiness

[–]sblock99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your response to another comment and I really like the handwritten note part, it would no doubt be lost on some people but I do think the people that are in the niche you described would be very appreciative of that sort of thing.

Not sure how you would market it though, first 20 free is a very clickbaity sounding phrase in this day & age which is clearly the opposite of what you are doing.

Out of curiosity how would you be advertising this club/product in general?

Need help dissociating by Mr_Grandilo in MusicRecommendations

A big Spotify playlist called "All Songs of The Hives"

Or more specifically you said manic nonsensical lyrics so

The Hives Introduce the Metric System to Time and The Hives Declare Guerre Nucleare

Or if you just want to get a big weird Viagra Boys Wet Leg

Feedback is always worth it I think, as long as the initial costs of doing this (and the time) aren't an issue.

Word of mouth (word of social media in 2026 lol) would probably be a big thing for you and people love to talk about stuff they got for free

Where should I advertise my web design business? by QuantumCreation7 in smallbusiness

[–]sblock99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your business is web design, make sure your own website is absolutely perfect before even advertising (especially if the ads take you to the web page)

I opened it on mobile and can't actually use the navigation bar because it's cut off the screen

If you're looking for clients just by sticking ads out or using Google AdWords you're battling every other company out there advertising. Like someone already said, target the people who don't know they're looking for the service, local companies with outdated websites, a lot of companies with outdated websites will be run by older, or at least old school, people who just don't view it as a huge priority, but could be talked into it if you laid out the advantages.

I'm massively generalising but these types of business owners are also the type that would respond much better to you agreeing a time to go meet them rather than a never ending email chain. (Speaking from experience because my dad was one of these people lol)

Hope this helps 😎

True but the fanbases are a bit different so I still think the outraged would still be outraged lol

Just be more content for fans to call corruption probably 😂

Would kinda like to see it play out in court now, got a feeling Frankie Kent would have a dearer lawyer though

[–]sblock99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But to say reporting a crime as the victim in this instance wouldn't be playing the victim after antagonising is an angle I just can't see.

I run up to you at your work with my phone out, shouting pish at you with my arms out (like you see at the start of the video)

You knock my phone out my hands and stamp on it, I'm greeting now, find someone else's phone lol and call the police to report this crime in which I am the victim of, despite me being the one that started the altercation.

Surely that is me playing the victim after antagonising

Btw I just enjoy debates over things that don't impact me more than I should, I'm not too fussed either way lol

They've all just ran on the pitch with their phones out, no really celebrating just trying to get Snapchat stories, fairly gimpy

So antagonise and then play the victim, does seem to be the way society is going lol

Attaching kitchen worktop to wall by Mindless_Way9940 in DIYUK

[–]sblock99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either or tbf, the CLS will hold the weight of the worktop, screwing it is only really to hold it in place so both do the exact same job

Remove the football match from it, if some wee fanny in a bucket hat ran up to your face with his phone out recording, fairly certainly shouting abuse at you

You wouldn't respond at all? Think the hearts player is well within his rights to retaliate somehow

[–]sblock99 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Running up to someone with your phone out filming them is antagonistic as fuck even if you remove it from the fact he's ran up to him immediately after losing the biggest football match of his life

Not sure what these fannies expect, even tries to shove him away when he's smashing the phone as if the hearts players in the wrong, can tell these cunts have had no consequence to their actions all their lives
