You know their name and address – if you spoke to your insurance company I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to find out their policy details. You may also have legal expenses cover with your own insurance.

if this worked then this (plus mike’s bit) could well be my solution – I did consider this but thought a) does it affect my insurance and b) is there data protection act stuff involved? but prob worth a go

edit: one thing that does occur to me is that if they up the arsehole anti and refuse to let any building work commence (trespass etc) do I have any rights?

terraced house so arguably shared roof but guttering is separate, and if I got it fixed myself without permission I would clearly be trespassing if they wanted to make a fuss (I figure I can’t do this) – if it helps narrow the options the wife is the barking dog (so asking nicely again is close to not being an option but if it’s my only option I’ll send my wife (!!) and he looks like christopher biggins (but is not) and is clearly under her thumb

edit: privately owned

Get a quote, get the builder to explain what is wrong. Ask for their insurance details as you will be claiming from them.

sensible thanks mike, how i get their insurance details might be the next challenge

Encourage empathy, and allow him to experience the problem of a constant damp patch, by weeing through his letterbox every day

also sensible, they have a jacuzzi in their back garden and a cat that poos in mine, perhaps a good strategy is try mike’s plan first and if that fails I go with the dual binners/jacuzzi poo plan

Piece of plastic pipe? Just wait for them to go out and fix it

old school iron jobby, been waiting a year and my living room smells damp, had enough

Can you offer to pay for it to be done?

they’re being such arses they won’t even hear that it needs to be fixed – I think it’s safe to say we’re not really speaking any more…

(i don’t work for them!)

compare

He put four shots through a closed door with the intention of killing the person behind it.

with

“So you accidentally shot at the intruders..?”

he’s doing everything he can to avoid admitting responsibility for anything – he’s basically saying ‘everything was an accident, i didn’t even mean to pull the trigger’ – which would get him off manslaughter too.

However, he’s clearly got an anger management problem and he’s also a bit prone to shooting guns (which he tries to avoid admitting responsibility for too) – so he’s walking a tightrope of ‘not me guv’nor’ vs ‘hang on, you’re prone to this sort of thing’.

So, ‘beyond reasonable doubt’, given the crime scene has been messed with, means this is going to be a rough ride (and strangely compelling).

Poor Reeva’s family – sincerely – what a nightmare.

O5 525d m sport auto here, 35mpg on m’way runs, agree with poster about electrics but otherwise a great car, other advice is get rid of run flats on big alloys for a much better ride

Joeg I can probably get the files (am sure you can get round it longer term renting a proxy service thingy) – email in profile if interested

good shout, thanks

i believe you’ll need a fitting kit (SMS700 alfine 11 fitting kit)

and a sprocket (Shimano Alfine Single Sprocket S500) number of teeth dependent on number of teeth on crank…

edit: and just in case you’ll need a centre lock rotor!

Yes, but is the lad actually gay? And why isn’t that clearly and properly addressed?

I’ve been there before too!

Best wishes to the lad

not exactly near afan but we did a boys trip (8 of us) to wales to do afan and cwmcarn over a weekend so we stayed just outside cardiff at this place

http://www.gwaelodinn.co.uk/

was bike friendly (ran out of space in the shed so some of us kept bikes in our rooms) – fab food, and at the end of the meal the waitress said we looked like we needed some tequila’s (nuff said), and good boozer with pool table downstairs, couldn’t recommend it enough really,

I can confirm a pompetamine with alfine 11, mudguards, avid elixirs and and a blackburn ex1 rack work fine (so sc-xc yours looks ok) – can take photos tomorrow if you need

Edit soz didn’t realise sc-xc yours is a different model, it looks the same but confident prediction retracted!

i got iroko wood block about 5 years ago from howdens, it wasn’t cheap and the (non-howdens) guy who came to cut it had to go and get new blades it was such hard stuff – he also said you could put this wood in a swamp for 10 years and it would be ok after a sanding.

true to his word i sand it (30 mins with a mini sander) and oil it (10 mins with a spray oil from b&q) every 2 years and it comes up as new. Even ‘worn’ (i.e. just before i do this) it looks fab (with matt white units in my case) and this is full on twins based family treatment! I also rented my place out for 2 years and the tenants left pan burns and red wine marks (which I charged them for eek!) and they all disappeared with sanding.

I reckon your other half is onto something…

yep i can prove i gave the right address via email and to be fair he acknowledges this – at the mo he’s saying ‘what do you think is fair’ – I will go back to the seller and let him know the verdict, cheers gang…

it’s back – selling at a raise is cynical mr glitter

concur with above – a cheaper route might be worth trying – fwiw i started off using off the shelf orthotics called superfeet from snow and rock, 35 quid ish – i was doing tri’s at the time and these got me over the 10k barrier but 15+ hurt (flat feet too, felt like bottom of feet was all over bruised), then i went to the medics and they said they are partially doing the job so need custom,

also i had extremely tight calves and they talked about compartment syndrome and an op, i don’t recommend wikipedia’ing it but calf stretches (plus some acu) mostly sorted it…

i’m no medico so can’t say ‘do it’ but I had similar (from running and cycling) – weird sensation as though my knees were made of glass and they were about to smash, then sore for day or two after an outing,

referred to decent medical (consultant for the english rfu) – misalignent and pretty rubbish core muscles and extremely tight calves (forgot the mdeical name of all of this) – so went to physio to get immediately aligned then orthotics to sort long term, together with better technique.

so all good now luckily and orthotics thoroughly recommended, no knee issues for a year. my orthotics were custom but standard (hard) but use them under normal shoe / trainer inserts so comfy as, they were about 300 quid from a physio in london and they should last 5-10 ish years, use them most (70-80%) of the time i’m wearing shoes.

good luck, ade
