They say the same thing every year.

Law of averages state that if you say something enough times, it will come true.

over-priced house/flat/bedsit: check!

Apologies

My partner is a nurse in A+E and she was telling my how woefully under-trained/unsympathetic some of her colleagues are to mental health patients.

Bedlam is indeed very good documentary programming.

Brilliant vid that, tricky. Can’t wait for his next attempt.

Check your contract. there should be a section in it regarding this. My thoughts are that the Landlord still has to give you the minimum notice period regardless.

Why don’t you just chop the offending post off at the lowest point and backfill. unless you need to dig some foundations that is?

I can’t masturbate stood up so I can’t use that as a reminder to get out.

There are only so many times a man can wash his penis in one session.

it’s all downhill from here.

Take it back to Maccy’s and tell them it’s cold and you demand a new one. don’t tell them it’s last night’s just go in all guns blazin demanding a replacement burger. If they question you, slap them and repeat your demand.

Had a condenser in my old rented flat. almost useless for getting things dry. it was more like a microwave than a dryer.

Sounds very similar to the itch-scratch cycle. you have an itch, it won’t go away so you scratch it til it bleeds you stop scratching but as it heals it starts to itch again: you start scratching again…ad infinitum

Decathlon – Quechua gear. good value. Get your self a down jacket – you will live in it over winter!

the main fuse into most houses won’t be bigger than 100A. mine is 100A.

Yeah, thanks, I read that back when it first was published and quickly decided that it won’t happen any time soon.

So, I read that the welsh government is planning on copying the scottish right to roam.

link please.

I don’t think its possible to fully appreciate how effing big those waves are! truly insane.

I’d line up all the cast of TOWIE and/or Made in Chelsea in no particular order and see how many one bullet gets me. Failing that: Katie Price

Am I right in thinking a full survey will have a ton of caveats anyway?

Yes it will and the issue with building surveys is that they are non-destructive so wouldn’t be able to tell you anything other than what would be visible unless you agree with the vendor and the surveyor before hand on any specific areas you wanted to uncover.

Use the money to get a good builder to take a look for you. I wished we had done but got stung by caveats and an unstable chimney breast.

I got banned for mentioning a product that IMO makes this site a better place to hang out. Others here use it too.

I’ve been told off for the same. didn’t get banned though. Must try harder next time.

as a newly qualified teacher I find the fact that people are allowed to teach in a school without a professional qualification to say they have the ability to teach to a nationally recognised standard deplorable. Shame on the gov for allowing it to happen.

Educating Yorkshire is a brilliant programme and shows exactly what it is like in a comprehensive school. I just wish there were more Heads like theirs in all schools.

If it is a NEW installation, this might be true. if it is an existing installation then it is what it is. We’ve got an old style Wylex wired consumer unit that has our shower wired to it.

no spoilers please, I intend on watching this on a date night with the ‘boss’. I’m paying apparently so I have the choice! I chose Capt. Phillips. I don’t want to waste my money by knowing what happens!

At the very least, A spoiler alert please!

Have you been reading the Daily Mail or Mirror weather forecast?

Loved it the first second and third time I watched it. Not as impressed with the sequel but it’s worth a watch still.

did it have a queen’s head on it?

most salesmen (or women) are the spawn of the devil.

There is also the fact that just because you’ve paid less for something, it doesn’t mean you should have to expect sub-standard customer service.

People want cheap fares, but you don’t like how they get to be that cheap. Travellers have a wide choice of airlines – vote with your feet. If you hate them that much don’t bloody fly with them

it’s not as simple as waiving your rights as a consumer just because you’ve chosen Ryanair.

Written in my diary – if I lose my diary I change my passwords not unlike if I was to lose my bank card, I would cancel the card.

Ok, but that should be then be advertised at STC?

Yes, ideally, though I’m not sure if this is a legal requirement.

Antur Stiniog[/url]?

What armchair for a particular wig wearing seat judge?

one with a 12″ rubber dildo attached to it.

It’s the whole non-refundable despoit of £5k that bothers me, and the subsequent “oh we can work something out when I wanted to walk away”.

you are wise to be nervous of this. not something I would consider normal house selling practice.

MSE Malware bytes and CCleaner is all I have on my Laptop and so far no problems.

So the first house I was really interested in, was subject to some weird semi-illegal bidding process and I walked away.

Sealed bids by any chance? if so, perfectly legal if not a bit annoying. the other one just sounds dodgy on the face of it! I’d be giving that EA a wide berth!
