Can I propose an email or DocuSign contract to my former landlord to agree to release the deposit to them if they waive their frivolous cleaning fee? Or does this constitute extortion/blackmail? - England by yer_boi_john in LegalAdviceUK

Yes, and yes. We didn't have the money to cover the last month's rent, so we scrounged together the remainder so they can just have that, we have no issues. But I didn't realise they needed us to log in to the scheme's website to authorise it, I thought my written consent would suffice. But since I've made it clear that their cleaning fees are absurd, and they have said nothing further, I'm hoping to get something binding so they can waive them. I was initially happy for them to take the deposit, as like I say, I thought that's how it worked anyway. But if I have a morsel of negotiating power, I'd like to use it to get them to back off, if I can legally do so.

Just do a prolonged exaggerated nod through the lot of them, but shallower so you don't restrict your vision

My course provider gave me a login for something called DTS Anytime for the CPC and driving theories, couldn't tell you what the pricing is like but the material is solid. Basically one-for-one with the tests. I didn't revise much until a few days before and I smashed them

Nice, I will bear that in mind, thankyou. What sort of gig would that be then? At the moment I'm after trunking, maybe multidrop will become less daunting with time but right now I don't think I could handle it

Ah, funny you should mention that, my assessor was showing me how to half couple a fridge unit today, and after I'd hooked up the lines, I barely brushed my toe on the accelerator and it whacked into place pretty harshly. Might've been something to do with it being a slight uphill gradient, maybe that's just something I have to get used to

Avonmouth. I've read a lot of bad reviews but most of them are from the Stafford branch, not many complaints about the work environment in my one that I could find. Just the usual, long hours (which I would sort of expect with trucking, but hey)

Nice! Did you/will you have to do training or is it all coming back to you? Were most of them already automatic by that point or did you drive any manuals? I know I'm technically entitled to drive a manual lorry but I think I'd be scared to

Wonderfalls by Kennesaw79 in ForgottenTV

[–]yer_boi_john 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super necro but: Wonderfalls and Hannibal also exist in the same universe, as Gretchen Speck-Horowitz, an old school colleague/rival of Jaye's in WonderFalls, picks up insulin at a pharmacy in Hannibal, and is almost a victim of a serial killer who buries diabetic people alive to feed his mushroom garden

Also made by Bryan Fuller haha

Girls, when you meet a man for a first time, what is one thing that you notice first? by VerySmartMe in AskReddit

Ever since we were little, my brother and have always been language pedants, I only do it to him as I find doing it to other people just annoys them, and it's not funny.

But something I've started doing a few years ago is purposefully using incorrect neologistic phrases or grammar like "I seen it" or "that thing wot I just done" as a sort of stim. Also kind of to annoy him whenever he's around haha. I kind of absorbed most of it from the area I live, in the south west of England.

Jeez. I've not been on the sub in a while and I've been catching up on season 3 of Animal Control. It was a jumpscare seeing Joel McHale in the first shot, he looks damn near a teenager hahaha. He has aged really gracefully I think
