It’s boring and adds nothing to my life whatsoever, I’ve got WhatsApp to keep in touch with friends and family not a constant ticker of boring work updates. Ours is a bit more sensible. During the last trip away - "What bar are you guys in?" "The one by the restaurant" "Is it any good?" "Buy one, get one free beer" "That sounds good" "You should pop over" "But I like the one with the comfy sofas better" "Why, is the beer cheap?" "No. But its full of Russian hookers" "Order a round, we'll be there in 2 minutes" myglaren, Wack, Amishtat and 2 others 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I mean quantum physics isn't my strong point, but even so... I think they travel though time as well as having raised lettering. I think it's more to do with Relativity than quantum physics...

Parky 15788 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 UK house sale didn’t complete yesterday as my solicitors office decided to close early because Covid. So new completion date is mid January. What annoys me is the buyers solicitor did nothing for six weeks and then hit us with a load of questions and comments, one of which was concern that they couldn’t find the original planning permission for our Estate from 1999. I pointed out that the local council had probably noticed 5000 dwellings appear on their land and considering many of the local councillors lived there they should be aware it was there. Plus where the fuck was all this council tax revenue coming from? That alone cost a fortnight. Selling and buying here is so much easier. I accepted my buyers offer in August and here we are still unsettled. It takes about three weeks here. GrumpiusMaximus and Remspoor 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I sold a house the buyers used an online only solicitor who was a pain in the arse , whenever my solicitor emailed them they’d reply by post, they never answered the phone either it took weeks because every email was a 3 day reply , in the end I gave them a week to complete or I was fucking them off , the guy had to do a 200 mile round trip and bang on their door because they wouldn’t answer the phone but an angry Polish guy shouting at them on their doorstep sorted it out GrumpiusMaximus, myglaren, stonedagain and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Twats just appear to be trying to destroy things while they still can. Last week also had the stairs doubling as a horror film set. Floor 5 downwards had blood smeared down the right hand wall, then a splat of blood in the centre of the landing wall, smear down the next wall etc. Like someone had a spurting artery and was running / falling down 5 floors of stairs. On the bright side the council have evicted / secured the flat of the druggie on floor 5 today. Merry Christmas you bastard!

It's been the same since TV was invented I can remember the boxing day holiday adverts in the early 70s , looking longingly at exotic foreign destinations as my dad flicked through the Butlins brochure I can even remember the phone number Diss 4111 , which shows you how long ago it was To be fair though I loved butlins as a kid , my sister and I had free roam of the park , everything free , our parents used to go for a "sleep" in the afternoon. It wasn't until I had kids of my own I realised what they were doing, any opportunity for time alone had to be taken Remspoor, Vantman, BorniteIdentity and 4 others 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites

C1am 458 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 A minor grump, an example of the reality of a post Brexit world. Sending a single item to Northern Ireland with Parcel Force. Previously print off a single label. Now, create a customs declaration with description and customs code, print off a label and four copies of the customs declaration. tooSavvy and myglaren 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Zelandeth 13268 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Yeah, got it back up and going after a couple of hours. It had indeed just iced up. Need to confirm *why* it had iced up, but a stuffed defrost heater element is my current favourite. Unless someone left the door open for hours anyway. The condensate drain was pretty plugged too so getting in there wasn't probably a bad idea anyhow. Link to post Share on other sites
