Aldi, or just not the right image?

Some good suggestions there. Will have a look at all those. Thanks all 🙂

Morvelo super light ?

Thanks – I quite like some of those designs.

Move to Scotland

Mate I’d love to. But I cannot live in the same country as white pudding.

2048

OP I agree your comments about Blair. But you could also ask why the Leave campaign puts Michael Gove on the telly. Or John Redwood. Or any other of the out-of-touch, self-serving, hateful turds from any party.

It’s like having to vote for either a giant douche or a turd sandwich.

EU referendum – you can either align yourself with the loons and the racists, or the “business as usual” suits full of **** all.

It’s no choice at all.

found parked up in Seacroft

Well fancy that

You need antibiotic drops not tablets.

This.

Go back to doc, ask for Otimize spray.

annoyingly, it’s an exterior wall..

It’s an exterior wall with a cavity between the brick and the plasterboard? How odd.

The plasterboard must be fixed to studs. Drill through the plasterboard and studs and into the brick?

I’d defend it because they’re probably expecting you to panic at the threat of court and just roll over.

This. Massively.

Do you have photos/evidence of the poor workmanship?

it was barely a shove…

😆 😆 😆

Tell it to the judge!

Anyway, as others have said, I don’t think you’ll be sued.

I remember a time when hiring a car was a straightforward and worry-free thing to do.

At what point did it all become a massive scam?

Sad, isn’t it, that the OP did somebody a favour, warned the guy to stand back, then accidentally injured the guy because he didn’t heed the warning yet the OP is now worried about being sued?

That he acted with good intentions is irrelevant. “All I wanted to do was give the kids a nice canoeing trip” would not be a defence against negligence either.

I don’t think we know enough about the incident to say for sure, but from the OP’s brief description, he may have gone in shoulder-first, when he reasonably should have exercised more caution.

If you want a personal blog, just use Tumblr?

I did check – as far as possible – and the door was stuck, so I guess I expected he might stand back like I told him to…

How did you check?

Oh sorry – just read – door was stuck

Moral of this story: DO NOT get involved

OP I think you did exactly the right thing by helping someone who was shouting for help!

But on the limited info available, it’s possible that, in a personal injury claim, a court may find you negligent because you forced the door without checking first. Sorry man, but what did you think would happen?

In practice, despite anger in the heat of the moment, few people make personal injury claims for cuts and bruises.

Anyway, did you ever get to the bottom of why the guy was shouting for help in the first place?

The issue of failed marriages has reared its head on the forum today. I’m another.

When I started dating her, it didn’t feel quite right but we had fun and she was well fit, so I said “sod it – it’ll be OK.”

When she moved into my house, she instantly trashed it by filling it full of her junk and generally being a massive slob. But we had fun and she was well fit, so I said “sod it – it’ll be OK.”

When we got married, it was clear that she was a complicated and damaged person who relied on me massively. But we had fun and she was well fit, so I said “sod it – it’ll be OK.”

When we had kids, she struggled with any of the basics of parenting so I was working full time, paying all the bills, doing all of the domestic duties, trying to be a good dad, and making sure that she didn’t do mad neglectful shit (that she did from time to time). And we’d stopped having fun, and didn’t fancy each other any more, but I said “sod it – it’ll be OK”

Then I woke up one morning and thought “I hate this”. We went to counselling. But it was all my fault for “getting at her”. I left. And that first night I spent away from that miserable marriage, I felt nothing but relief.

I have the kids as often as she does so I can still make sure they are well looked after and loved.

But, through mortgages and kids, I am tied to her for the rest of my life.

My advice? If you have to say to yourself “sod it – it’ll be OK”, then it probably won’t be OK.

**** bitch

I’m also aware of the massive disservice you do to these very serious issues by diluting them with over-sensitive hand-wringing nonsense like this.

Yup

I can’t believe the comments excusing/defending her. Her actions are antisocial and criminal. She is a foul-mouthed mess of a human being, saying she wants to get “dog shit” on the skate park where children play.

Are her actions mad or bad? Both.

If she thinks that an appropriate response to some grievance she has, then she is the one with the problem.

It may not fit in with your plans, but ride it? 40ish miles and a nice trip on the Birkenhead ferry 🙂

It all depends. I’ve got on trains that have been full of bikes and no-one has cared or tried to stop us.

It depends on the operator, the staff on duty and whether there’s already two buggies and a suitcase in the luggage area.

I’d give it a try. Be prepared for two of you to have to get the next train.

Heh. Menopause.

**** bitch.

Not getting at you specifically (because we all do this) but

To me that seems WILDLY unlikely…I haven’t read the science though

This is the problem. You’ve just taken a cogent and accurate argument and dismissed it from an admitted position of ignorance, just because you don’t “feel” it’s right.

When it comes to bike helmets (and lots of other issues) People react with emotion and anecdote, rather than facts and logic, and call it “common sense”.

Broke a rib.

Tsk. Why weren’t you wearing a suit of armour? How irresponsible 😉

I’ve just got a new Dacia Locan MCV (don’t laugh). It has the biggest boot of any estate car (apart from a Volvo V70.)I went for the TCe90 turbo petrol and, while no doubt it won’t be quick enough for the Top Gear ****, it manages to overtake fortytards* comfortably without thrashing the engine and it gets 50mpg or so, so tax band B (£30)

The best part is it was only £9000 (including my metallic paint upgrade) so plenty of money left over for actually having fun with. It’s heading to Scotland in a few weeks with 2 adults, 2 kids, 4 bikes and all our camping kit.

*fortytards: Those people who just drive at 40 everywhere, regardless of whether the speed limit is 20, 30, 40 or 60.

Dont think i’ve ever waded in on the helmet debate but here goes…

No issues if you choose to not wear a helmet, its your head afterall, but always find it a bit irresponsible when people come on hear saying the don’t work or aren’t really required. Most of the evidence from doctors suggests its a good idea to wear one and whether you agree or not its probably not a good idea to discourage others from doing so…

You’re statistically more likely to injure your head when travelling in a car. So it’s a good idea to wear one in the car and it’s a bit irresponsible to disagree.

Likewise, I told my window cleaner the other day how irresponsible he was for climbing a ladder without a helmet in front of my children.

Yep – I’m in. What’s the hill called around the middle of the route? I’d like to google it 🙂

The moral of this story is not “wear a helmet” but “look where you’re going” 😀

I had this when I lived in a house where a public footbath crossed between my house and my garden. I would sit on the bench at the front of my house and watch dog owners allowing their mutts to wander round my garden.

“Can you get your dog out of my garden please” and “You’re dog’s just done a shit on my lawn” were met with either indifference, excuses or (sometimes) hostility. Never apology.

Me and the neighbours put up signs. It made no difference. Some people are just indescribably entitled. And filthy.

You would need to catch each individual offender in the act, photograph them, make a massive fuss and shame them… then the next day there’ll still be another steaming turd on your lawn.

Took my 8 year-old round the bridleways above Hebden Bridge

I’ve heard of that. It rides at Gisburn and posts racist comments on YouTube.

Ramadan Mubarak, dude. As a teacher I’m glad it’s fallen AFTER the English GCSE this year 🙂

Well, if you will ride on the Criterium du Dauphine course…

Oh no. I had no idea until I saw your post.

I’ve heard him a few times over the years, most recently at Hebden Bridge Trades Club with Martin Carthy a couple of years back. He was so stoned that when I asked him to sign my CD cover he could barely scribble his name. But my god, the music he made that night was beautiful.

If you use a chargeback request, whilst justified, it will affect their merchant services charges and the punishment may exceed the crime.

You’re kidding, right?

They ignored his emails then put the phone down on him 🙂

Chargeback then a very shitty review on TripAdvisor.

Or if chargeback fails, small claims court then a very shitty review on TripAdvisor.
