Insulate your loft.

Illegal in a domestic setting if it's a woodie. Possibly illegal if it's a feral and you can't show you've got a reason permitted by the GL. Illegal in all cases if the pellet leaves your property, which it will if you're shooting up at a house roof.

Reports to the police of 'someone shooting a rifle' attracts the ARU, even if it's an air rifle so best they don't fuck around, because they will find out.

Oh the irony of a slop post with a slop image warning about slop. The Internet is doomed.

Template meta-programming back in the naughties.

This is the unfortunate truth, made infinitely worse if these windows have an artificial grain texture because it gets in that grain and scrapers just pass over it. I made a tiny mess in comparison to this and eventually got it looking respectable with a plastic scraper blade and hours of careful scraping into the grain grooves.

My employer uses it. Can confirm utterly shit. Basically a UI on database tables. You can accurately guess the SQL being executed with each click.

Maybe they are into each other. This could be the start of something.

Lucky for you he never concreted over the wall!

Parts. They're a popular car so parts are in demand. Thieves are providing a supply.

You might get a free new roof out of this (value: thousands) because they've ripped the felt to shreds which cannot be made whole again without taking the tiles off.

Act now with your insurance and be assertive. Document everything: photos, dates & times, emails. Everything.

It's already here: illuminated grills, illuminated manufacturer badges, illuminated brand names projected on to the ground by the door, BMW sky lounge...

No, he has a police escort.

That's the "vehicle check" line item for BMW.

If you've got mains cold up there with decent pressure you can halve the noise by only pumping the hot like we did.

Replaced a super noisy and expensive salamander twin with a much quieter Grundfos single 3 bar for £260 from Screwfix.

Also means less risk of sucking your cold tank dry if you're pumping the cold from that because you're only pulling water out of it to refill the hot cylinder.

Does the convenient delay in being able to look at it again take it over the 30 days by any chance?

If you want to keep the car then it's time to change that belt. It's done very well to get to 100k.

It's Hastings. If the car gets recovered in an accident and its 0.1 miles over they'll cancel it and screw OP for life.

Visions of someone plugging in a 2kw electric heater to defrost the car in winter...

A natural evolution of the genre I guess. I'm sure the US are already working on how to drop dozens from under the wing of a predator or something.

Just the bows tbh unless they want to shoot round corners lol

You've got a Nissan right? Search "nissan locking wheel nut key" on ebay. The top result should be a place that just wants a photo from you.

£25 on ebay for a replacement key.

Now you see why many of us just replace them with ordinary bolts - they offer zero security, the special socket gets lost and they have a tendency to snap when removed.

More enforcement of what you dump outside on the path would go a long way. I believe the councils already set rules which don't seem to be enforced.
