Un-resonated Milltek, which from cold is loud. Although the previous exhaust I had the famous eBay Malian would rattle windows it was that loud. somewhatfoolish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juular Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 My neighbour has a shih tzu that since Christmas has been getting kicked out in the garden 24/7. It doesn't bark. It screams, and it never stops. At first I was grumpy. Then it started waking me up at 3am at which point shit got serious and I went round. They would never answer the door but just twitched their curtains. Obviously they know it's a problem. So I got the council involved, who were as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Apparently barking dogs are impossible to prove as being a statutory nuisance. Despite them standing in my bedroom at 10pm listening to endless screaming. Looking at recent FOI requests our council has not issued a single noise notice for barking dogs in several years. I assume someone in the department is an equally selfish dog owner and doesn't see the problem. Im a really calm and zen person. I tend to shrug at most things. However my nerves are shattered and I'm now on beta blockers to stop this riling me up. Today I stood holding a brick aimed at their window and I'm not entirely sure why I put it down. People with barking dogs need to be tortured, shot, and their children sterilized with rusty razors.

Talbot Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I'd be going round at 10 pm and smashing fuck out of their front door until they answer it. And then again at 2am. And again at 4am. Might get the message then. I'd love to hear them complain to the council about it! And dogs barking is a noise nuisance. Plenty of people have been prosecuted for it. First thing to do is to keep a diary of every time it barks. I know that basically means every single day will be "Dog barked all fucking day", but a diary of times is admissible as evidence, so it's well worth having. If the dog is screaming that much, maybe a quick call to the RSPCA and having one of their officers make a visit might "re-focus their minds". The dog is clearly in distress to be barking that much. strangeangel, chaseracer, grizgut and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This particular picture is why when teaching kids the green cross code, you also add, If possible always use a pedestrian crossing. When the green man is lit up, you should check that there is nothing coming. Only cross when the cars have stopped. Better to be safe than in the right.

Agila Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Apparently my neighbour is racist and probably thinks I am. After looking in the boot of the civic for something he says something like "I like the plate did you buy it from a (racial slur)?" Slightly took me by surprise, explained where I'd actually bought it from and the origin of the number plate (a persons initials). By the time I realized what he was on about he had gone back in the house. After thinking about it the only think he could of though was S21GNH may look a bit like Singh??

Then again it happened in Birmingham, where 90% of cars are untaxed and uninsured anyway. Hope someone finds where it is parked and sets fire to it. Years ago my mate rented his flat out to some bloke and his missus. Both were in good jobs so he thought all was good. After a couple of months they stopped paying the rent. Probably because they had saved to buy an almost new car. He was overheard bragging about it in the pub, also saying he didnt have a licence or insurance. Guess who went out to his car one morning to find every window and light smashed, four slashed tyres, radiator punctured and every panel dented and keyed?

Jerzy Woking Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 My house purchase in Spain went through yesterday, so the property is now legally mine, which is brilliantmine. Major grump is I am not allowed to travel there at the moment due to travel restrictions in France and Spain. Hopefully things will change soon. Second grump is that despite a quite severe lockdown, the Spanish sorted everything out legally without and issue. But the solicitors and agents acting on the sale of my UK house say they can do nothing until the lockdown is lifted. My buyer is livid with them all, as the sale was agreed in Feb and she is desperate to move in. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans not working, supposed to have an overload cut out though. Will steal a fan from my smaller welder and hope for the best. Just paid £90 for a torch and lead .

The problem here is one of interpretation: house sales are not considered to be essential business so Estate Agents (certainly in greater London) have, to a man, all closed down their offices and are trying to operate online only. Thing is, if you've got a house to sell (and I've got two Probate properties to get rid of), the agents won't come and visit or take measurements / photos because they don't want to breach the current regulations, so that means sellers are fucked for now. Buyers are also arguably fucked because the regs also mean that property visits are a no-no at the moment, and amateur photos on a website are no substitute for going round there and seeing it for yourself. And if there's no proper transaction activity going on, conveyancing solicitors have no meaningful work to do, so they're fucked as well Even the bigger Firms may end up with a cashflow problem Jerzy Woking and myglaren 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to BBC there are 373,000 house sales/purchases (worth £82b) on hold, but no real explanation as to why everyone one is on hold. Or do they mean there are 373,000 houses on the market for sale? Not quite the same thing https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52453502 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
