Always amazes me how stupid rich people are with money.

Thanks for the link

Sorry you are right, landlord does not have deposit. Never been charged in 7 rentals, so not sure how disputes work.

We bought a tumble dryer after first signs of damp.

We had inspections every six months, where damp was reported and they said they would fix. We also had final inspection which is when they said we will be charged.

They have our deposit.

A lot of mould is on foam ceiling tiles, anyone know if these are illegal in rentals?

Rockbros is cheaper because they are using cheaper materials and have bypassed the design process – even the packaging is a wonky rip off. Spur cycles is not expensive, it just might be more than you can afford

Strikes aside, there are not enough carriages anyway – for example the Ashford international to Brighton has 2 carriages at rush hour, 2 ! I never got a seat in over 2 years.

But they are not indentical, that is the point: https://cyclingtips.com/2016/08/a-tale-of-two-bells-spurcycle-vs-the-counterfeiters/

I don’t know why you would buy a copy, buy a cheaper bell if the price is too much

They really don’t care if you have a ticket now. Mate at work has not paid for months

I do the same commute miles, I feel tired too, probably because 2 hrs a day on the bike is quite a lot!

If the boss is already shouting she should leave, life is too short to work for ****

My commute has two off road sections. The GP 4’s got cut up fast.

I only got 1500 miles out of GP 4 seasons, makes them very expensive.

^ it is amazing how heavy they are, my plan is to change back over to when the clocks change. I have also ditched tubes etc.. as I will not be able to get the bloody tyre off anyway.

You need to use svg + css3 animation. Good luck. 45kb should be fine

The marathon pluses mean you will never get a puncture, but they have knocked 2mph off my average speed, hoping they are making me stronger

Write it down as a loss and never think of it again – really this thing is very common in our industry.

Surprised people are calling it a gimmick. Looks excellent for retouching & illustrating. Computers should be more tactile / natural

Everyone in my studio wants one – our imacs seem to change very little with every update

The buyer provided a tracking code to indicate they have sent back the item – but will not give me the same code. It seems very easy to do this scam – I think i will monitor the buyers ebay account and do the same back.

How did I mess up? Crazy. I provided proof that is was real in the case and ebay ruled in their favor and refunded before I received. I can’t even leave feedback.

People won’t change their social media habits to save a few quid on car insurance – they don’t do it now, knowing many employers will be looking.

I canceled this morning – they seemed baffled by why I was cancelling. The first guy had not been told about it, put me onto his manager.

Right to buy, 100% mortgages, no national house building programming, tax avoidance allowed on house purchase, have **** anyone under 40

Full survey is worth it. Cost us £800, but used it to knock 3k off price. We also know exactly what we are getting into

Got my solicitors moving by telling them I had handed my notice in. They do NOTHING if you do not shout, threat etc..

Good god man. Never let them devide and conquer.

Not that it matters because you’re locking through the wheel anyway… but the day you loose the pin-lock key is the day you discover you don’t actually need it to release the wheels. They’re a nice a idea but they don’t actually work.

just another deterrent, to make them think its not worth the effort.

I leave my bike nights & weekends in a public place. Never had it stolen:

– kryptonite fahgettaboudit through front wheel
– kryptonite new York through pedal, frame and rear wheel.
– ball bearings in seat post & saddle
– pin lock skewers on both wheels

But the most important thing I think is to remove all logos as it kills resale value

This one of the main reason people do not pay for surveys. At the very least the law should change so if you accept an offer you a liable for any costs incurred by the buyer.

Absolutely pathetic to be honest.

I have paid £1200 so far, yet to exchange. If our buyer pulls out now it will be devastating.

thank you for that detailed explanation. I find it fascinating that a company will actively look to drive profits down to 0.

Right, I guess you mean they incur tax, but clearly they can control how much

^ of course companies should pay tax they benefit for public infrastructure

So companies effectively have control over how much tax they pay?

Ok I think I am getting there, in the past profit was a good indication of a companies worth and a honest vehicle for collecting tax. Now some companies have convinced investors of their worth without showing much profit.

Companies like Amazon still show small profit to help the share price, but minimise tax obligations through rerouting sales through tax havens.

Sounds to me like corporation tax is unfit for purpose

Margins might be tight but one year Amazon reported a loss on 5.6bn UK sales. That seems insane to me.

Is profit only good for shareholders, not owners?

Roku seems like a better, legal option.

6% return is pretty conservative for a stocks shares isa – point is it makes sense to save not borrow!

Mates keep adding 1000s to their 40 year mortgages for non essential upgrades seems crazy to me.

It’s pretty easy to get 6% + on savings, so it is definitely worthwhile.

I have 3 months salary and over pay my mortgage each month. I could not sleep with any debt hanging over my head. I earn less than the national average with two kids so it is possible to save if you live frugally
