Maugrim posted:The money went out this morning of course, but from a quick Google I get the impression that it's my responsibility as tenant to make sure the rent gets to his account by the 1st. Is that correct? I guess that would mean I need to move the standing order to like the 28th or something. When I was last renting, my rent was due on the 14th, a careful study of the calendar with the various bank holidays (especially Easter & Xmas/New Year) meant to be sure it was in the landlord's account by 14th, I had to set my standing order for the 9th. My landperson though was a pretty reasonable sort and would have been ok with it landing in a couple of days late so long as there was a bank holiday or something to account for it. What a page snipe! 13 lucky for some. I wish I had a puddy tat to post pix of but we're not allowed pets here so I would have to have an indoor cat, but also the thought of a litter tray stinking out my tiny flat and the possibility of a kitty escaping through an open front door into the maze of the building doesn't bear thinking about!

That being said unless your contract clearly stipulates the landlord can charge you for extra for late payments (and how much they can charge is very heavily regulated by the Tenant Fees Act 2019) there’s unlikely to be much in the way of a specific penalty for being a day late.

Some stunning work this morning in relaunching Labour, perfect blend of woke and anti-woke. Especially like the firm policy position of 'people who contribute should get sonething back'. Good of Keith to congratulate the Tories on their steady governance of the nation. Loved the moment where he started openly weeping, pulling a big flag around his shoulders like a lovely comfy duvet.

Guavanaut posted:You could have a guinea pig. Capybaras are the chillest rodents. My gran taught me the pro move for cooking smaller birds is to get several pig skin squares and stitch the bird inside with whatever veg (garlic and onion usually) inside and roast. Not particularly kosher gran  , but you can't argue with the results  All the rendered fat is super good for gravy.

Not common in America, either, but you can find it in the Mexican aisle in big tubs labelled 'manteca' at room temperature. Probably not helpful in Finland, though. Beef dripping, no chance. But over here they're, just, like, right next to the butter and marge, bit old fashioned maybe but I guess there are enough Boomers who grew up in the 50s around that all the supermarkets carry it.

I have one of these automatic-cleaning litter trays, originally bought in the beforetimes to try and stop the dog eating cat turds[1] while I was at work[2] but kept on despite the relative priciness of the trays because it really does reduce the litter smell to basically nothing within about ten minutes of being used. And also because I'm a deeply lazy person and a litter tray that just needs cleaning once a month would be worth ten times that to me. [1] Labrador, nothing else really needs to be said, other than for a while I thought that she was developing a bladder problem because she was pissing on the doormat while I was at work - however I eventually realised she was eating the cat poo poo, which is of course made from the (loving expensive) special food he has to have to make him piss more because the poor little bastard almost died of a urinary blockage that was so painful it took two vials of ketamine to calm him down enough to even get him in the carrier to go to the vets. Turns out more than enough of the active ingredient was making it through his system to mean the dog's lovely warm mid-morning snack was making *her* piss more. [2] I have a cat flap, but because there's a lot of other cats around who love to just loving wander in - seriously, I left the back door open on a hot day and found one of them taking a poo poo in the spare room - I got one of those electronic ones that work off the chip in his back to only let him in. However the clicking of the mechanism traumatised him enough that he won't go near it now even though I've taken the lock mechanism out (or, more likely, because he's realised it's much more fun to just make me get up and let him out). Wait why do I have pets again?

Chip advice needed, goons. So, the other day I made what I think might just be the perfect chip. Boiled for longer than you'd think you'd need, skin on, in salty water, until the skin starts to fall off. Put the chipped potatoes in while the water is still cold though to ensure even cooking. Meanwhile heat duck fat in a baking tray in a fan oven at 200. Once chips are boiled, colander and shake vigorously. Leave to dry off for 10-15 minutes while the fat gets super hot and finish with a pat dry with kitchen roll. Then put em in the boiling hot fat and stick em in the oven for 25. Flip after 25 and leave for another 30. Take em out, onto a plate covered in kitchen roll, then pat dry again with kitchen roll. Is there anything, other than maybe some rosemary, I could be doing better? I really feel like I've got this down to a fine art but I'm always looking to improve my chip game. Flour perhaps? It feels like it might be over kill as they're already very crispy. I might try with bigger spuds as the King Edwards I'm using do make a quite small chip.
