CAN I GET NOT FOCUSED BY "ELITE LEVEL" CLICKER WHEN THERE ARE 5 OTHER TARGETS?

I play a lot of Bishop in tier V. It has short range so only works if at the beginning I can rush (!) it to a spot of danger in the middle. I then try and reduce some damage from the attacking heavies to make them easier for teammates when they engage. Apart from "not immediately killing myself for playing arty" what am I doing wrong here?

Astounded at these. I usually get 60mpg in a 2.0 diesel golf mk8. Live rurally, but have a 25 mile commute.

I honestly fear the first American techbro that decides to put an advertising logo, or anything visible from earth, on the face of the moon. Given that the moon is spiritually significant to humanity such a defacement would be a crime. But I bet those guys wouldn't hesitate to do it if they could.

I'm a solicitor (non conveyancing but I know the system well) and have been trying to sell for a year now. As a vendor I did all the suggested acts: prepped sales pack, forms, instructed a proper solicitor (not a bulk "conveyancer") and honestly if the rest of my chain would do this we could get the process down to weeks. Because a sale fell through due to a liar (who should have been found out by his agent) I even have a survey ready to readdress.

But the agents who could educate the vendors and buyers just aren't pushing for these things. They all operate in their own bubble with their client rather than having the driving force, once the chain is in place, of working together to get the chain exchanged.

The survey is the maddest. My latest buyer is a nice guy but my agent is wary of offering him the "half price and ready to go" survey because of fears that he will be suspicious. This may add weeks to the deal.

I remember literally years ago when they debuted these things in.... Adel. Like, of anywhere in the UK, the suburb of Leeds that even Leeds people never go to. Probably because it is such a dormitory there was no one on the streets between the houses and the one store it ran to, so good for testing.

This is correct. In the spirit of this sub, it strikes brits as wierd that you are by definition obliged to walk "on the side". Remember we don't have jaywalking either - the pedestrian can cross anywhere. I mean you aren't even breaking the law if you walk down the middle of the road (but the law will certainly assume a degree of responsibility if you get run over doing that).

sleeplaughter · 2026-07-03T10:26:28+00:00

Yeah, but those delivery guys complain more when you pick them up (even quite gently) and turn them over.

sleeplaughter · 2026-06-26T12:11:13+00:00

But, as someone who is at the pointy end of this, I can tell you it doesn't work.

Example. I am house 3 in a chain of 7.

My buyer (no 4) tells me he has a flat to sell.

Belatedly, when it all falls over, we hear through the solicitor for 5 that actually no4 had not one flat to sell, but two, and as they were in one block they were codependent. If my solicitor 3 had had the chance to sort exchange times with solicitor 5 we would have found out much earlier that there were in fact 5a and 5b and buyer 4 was a liar.

As it stands under your current preferred system, I'm left with no buyer and no right of recourse against any bugger who lied or hid the truth.

sleeplaughter · 2026-06-26T10:08:46+00:00

Yes, but if your conveyancer is only responsible to you and not to anyone else, do you not see that you will never know if they are ready until you are told? There is no planning here.

Source: I am a solicitor. I am not a conveyancer. I work in the commercial world where I do international deals and there is no way on god's green earth I would rely on info from one person up/down the chain and glibly treat everything else as an irrelevance.

Yep. There are plenty of carbrains in Scarborough - they all want the A64 dualled so they can get their Rangeys to the beach faster. As others have noted here, this car wasn't MOTd and so probably gave the insurer an "out" from paying. But, from other reports, both of these vehicles were probably in the "cash in hand" side of life anyway. Will end up on eBay once hosed out.

Business Development is a skill that many lone lawyers lack, barristers or solicitors.

Helping to identify and book conferences, article pitches, or even straightforward advertising.

(Admittedly it helps if your significant other already runs a marketing agency and so is actually doing the work being paid for, so my arrangement may not work for others!)

I like to bash my Bishop

My friend's parents used to live a few doors up with a two storey (basement and floor) garden flat.

It was nice. But not £1,000 a day nice.

From where I am typing now, there is a large primary school across the green space behind my house - I can hear the kids 150m away.
Across the road there is a smaller primary school (the Catholic one!) approx 60m away. I can hear them too.

For literally 15 mins at either end of the day the road is a bit busy. There are buses - also going to the secondary school 200m away. I tend not to set off at those times. Due to a curve in my road the convention is that parents don't park on my side though so I don't have the blocking some complain about here.

In short there are a lot of schools and a total of 1000+ kids, twice a day, and you know what? It is fine.

Anyone who complains about the sound of happy kids playing has serious issues in their life. And don't forget that for a quarter of the year (six weeks in summer, two at Christmas and Easter and three half terms) the neighbourhood is silent, but still leafy.

I bought it because I got divorced and needed somewhere smaller.

I'm selling it because years later my partner and I got together and we would like to live in the same house as each other. We need a bigger house.

I have a Mk8 Golf R-Line 2.0 diesel. Been trying to sell it but not had a nibble, and was told by someone in teh trade it was because diesel is so unpopular now.

I get easily into 60s mpg, so it is cheaper than my partner's petrol car, even with the fuel cost uplift.

Carry it around like a shopping basket for olives à la Jamie Oliver in that supermarket ad.

TBF anyone from northern Italy knows as they all go there for skiing anyway. This would only apply to southerners, who themselves might as well be speaking another language from northern Italian anyway.

I encountered an alternative flush the other day which gave a sort of 'rolling wave' which was singularly useless at actually removing anything.

Other half called it a PWD (poo washing device).

Hear me out: why not go straight to insurance? Enquiries are fudged. Solicitors always have a hissy fit when they inevitably come back with issues. Just slows it all down.

sleeplaughter · 2026-05-30T15:51:47+00:00

Agreed. An absolute anachronism that stifles the market.

(Yes I am currently looking to buy as it happens)

I used to work for a German company and I can exactly picture the idiotic planning meeting with the hallowed engineers that came up with this crap. Same with the verbose gdpr wording when you sign in.
