In the scene, a trans woman, Pippa, follows and tries to stab the protagonist, Cormoran Strike, before getting trapped in Strike’s office. After demanding Pippa’s ID, her trans status is revealed and her visible Adam’s apple is noted, while it's noted that her hands were jammed in her pockets. Pippa tries several times to escape the office before Strike finally says, “‘If you go for that door one more time I’m calling the police and I’ll testify and be glad to watch you go down for attempted murder. And it won’t be fun for you Pippa,’ he added. ‘Not pre-op.’” edit: no i am not letting this alone start a new page. here is a video about the number 63 that I have not watched yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09JslnY7W_k Angepain fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Sep 13, 2020 |

Headline in Independent:quote:Brexit news - live: Justice secretary could resign if Boris Johnson’s bill breaks law in ‘unacceptable way’ Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-news-live-latest-boris-johnson-bill-no-deal-eu-uk-today-b433690.html (not quoting whole as it's in the rolling live feed). Is there then an acceptable way of a government minister breaking the law? Define 'acceptable'. And can we all use that excuse? If it is broken in a way acceptable to UKMT, for example.

Tsietisin posted:Yup, looks like they know the sitution they are in. You will be holding up renovation until you leave, costing them void rent periods. Based on the conversations I overheard between the surveyor and the architect, the new buyer is going to make it one single nice house and sell it. I live in East Dulwich where many 'investors' buy old houses, renovate them and sell them for a fortune. It's pure speculation, but I believe the new buyer has no intention to let the flats/house; they want to have it renovated and put it up for sale. My personal preference is to stay in the flat for 6 months because it gives me time to find something suitable and I don't have to move during a pandemic, but if they can offer £5K or more, I'd probably consider it. I want to thank everyone who has responded to me and pitched in with their comments one more time. I feel reassured and confident that I don't have to go along with the buyer's/letting agency's wishes, all thanks to the amazing UKMT goons.

Whoever buys it as a single unit is *absolutely* going to split it back into flats, probably considerably smaller than the ones currently there, definitely of a much lower quality, and sell it on for an absolute fortune, and thus the GDP increases and everyone's a winner (not that "everyone" means "everyone in the same socioeconomic class as our elected representatives and media, everyone else doesn't actually exist")

I can't see that they'll be that fussed to throw money at you to go away? Like surely they'll just accept that they'll have to wait for 6 months to a year to get possession, during which they'll still be being paid rent anyway. Really what would be worst for them is if two of the flats vacate now but you stick it out for a year or something so they only get 1 third of the rent they otherwise would have got.

One of the tenants already responded to the letting agency, they rejected the offer and said that they will exercise their right to stay for 6 months. The lady on the ground floor told them that if they can find her a good quality flat for the amount she pays now, she'll consider relocating. I didn't want to respond to them until Monday.

My other concern now is that if one of the tenants does decide to vacate, the building work will start and I'll be effectively spending my time on a construction site. I am working from home and really, really don't want to be surrounded by wall breaking and construction.

I am working from home and really, really don't want to be surrounded by wall breaking and construction. I believe tenants are entitled to "quiet enjoyment" of their property, so you might have a case against them if they started working within the same building, but I'm not sure on that. I'll be very surprised if they are turning it back into one house and don't need vacant possession. They might not even get permission to convert it back from the council. Something isn't sounding quite right. In any case, if they do buy it with you in place then you need to make sure they protect your deposit properly and do all the other things a landlord must comply with like gas Safe certs etc.

This chimes in with a separate request the letting agency sent last Wednesday asking that I let a 'contractor to attend to carry out an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)'. I have agreed that they can come on Monday, but if they turn up without a mask and gloves (like the architect, the surveyor and the handyman did the other day), I'll send them on their way. The agency also for the first time since taking over the contract back in 2018 sent me an email on Sept 8: Good morning xxxxx, We are just going through some housekeeping and note that you have not been provided with a copy of the Prescribed Information following the transfer of the security deposit in 2016. In this regard please find attached a copy of your tenancy agreement from xxxxx which includes the prescribed information for your records. Please further find a copy of your updated gas safety certificate for your records. I personally checked my DPS record back in 2018 to ensure that my deposit was transferred to the new agency and I also keep records of the safety records myself because I always make sure I am at the property when gas inspections happen. Can you believe these bastards?

They are probably lying that the house has been sold. It echoes the doubts of several of you on here. Also, I keep saying that the agency took over my contract in 2018, it's actually 2016. I am being a doofus.

You might be able to check this online, by the way. Barking certainly has planning applications visible online which is how I found out my landlord was trying to appeal a planning decision against turning the place I live in into an airbnb and the council told him to do one (again).

Turns out a GP telling you to get tested doesn't help with the process of actually getting a test on the NHS, so I'm forced to pay for one privately if I want to receive any further investigations/treatment for something totally unrelated. Surely there must be a lot of people in limbo who need a test to get other stuff looked into, but can't afford to just buy one.

I have the opposite problem to the above poster in that my housemate is an obnoxious dingus I want to get rid of, I've talked to the landlady and said she'd give him notice when the contract runs out but now looks like I'll be living with him for another 6 months. I really don't want to move out as my house is perfectly situated between my family, work and girlfriend, its the only house I've had in ten years that has allowed a cat (that the landlords known about) and I have made a lot of friends locally. Plus I can't afford to move really and anywhere in my price range isn't suitable. He's driving me daft, pisses all over the floor, stays up til 5 laughing at How I Met Your Mother, his boyfriend has been coming round every weekend during lockdown (and he lives with ten other people) and he hasn't left the house since he moved in. Been stressing me out so much I've been grinding my teeth, (cracking one, hence having the filling the other day) and struggle focusing on anything. I work from home teaching people with mental health issues and in the background he's just laughing away, every day. I'm going to ask him to move out this week anyway, who knows.

I've talked to him multiple times about everything but I'm not his dad and getting bored of it really. Since making that last post I have rescued a bird from a cat so now have a bird in a shoebox with tissue paper and an empty tea light container filled with water.
