Here’s one for you guys, the estate agent for the flat we moved out of is tying to stiff us to clean the carpet, saying it needs to be professionally cleaned. Our argument is that it’s been cleaned perfectly well, and indeed to a better standard to how it was when we moved in. There are photos.

What’s the best way to tell them to go do one?

Is the deposit with the DPS? If so you can dispute their assessment of what you're owed and the burden of proof is on them to show that the cleaning was necessary.

Tacit rule of cat sitting. It shouldn't need to be said.

I was just feeding him and started wondering about keeping open tins of cat food in the fridge

like even with the skinniest cat they don't last more than 36 hours and just the idea of that meat and jelly being cold feels wrong somehow

Some of the cat food combinations are bizarre, but hey, it might taste alright.

chicken and duck seems like an odd choice

Also cheesy chips always sound nice and always end up being poo poo so they can safely go. Chips and gravy and chips and curry sauce are both abominations, which leaves chips and peas as the only sensible choice.

90% of chippies just chuck a handful of cheese on top of the chips so it doesn't melt properly but just kind of congeals a bit. The secret to a godly cheesy chips is layering - if there isn't at least one layer of cheese in the middle of the chips then they can :getout:

His whole chart makes no sense. Counting supermarkets and a chemist as fast food because they sell meal deals but not including coffee shop chains like Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc. Then he's got restaurant chains where some branches facilitate takeaways but no all such as Pizza Express. He's just picked a bunch of brands he knows that sell food.

it's also hilariously London-centric, like I'd guess a good third of those brands don't have more than one store outside London each

e: Shake Shack 9 London branches 1 non-London (Cardiff)
Pizza Pilgrims 10 London branches 1 non-London (Oxford)
Garfunkel's 7 London branches 1 non-London (Bath)
Angus Steakhouse 5 London branches 0 non-London

My point wasn't really that you were namechecking dead classical composers, more that you would take apparently huge issue with JS Bach, and then present as an alternative... a handful of the other main heavy hitters of the Western canon. They're all good

E: also I don't care about whether individual orchestral composers are technically"classical" or not, we all know what we're talking about

I don't have a problem with Bach in general except that I find some of his stuff (especially compositions for one instrument like the aforementioned violin sonatas or the cello suites or the preludes and fugues) generally not that interesting, it feels like they're based too much around technique and specific patterns rather than having any sort of depth to them. Some Bach is good though, when I played in a string orchestra at uni we'd do one of the Brandenburgs most terms (though if you're one of those people who insist on only using "authentic" instruments you can gently caress right off)

One of the reasons I like Shostakovich so much is that there's so much going on beyond/behind the music, you can really feel that he was pouring his soul out into it, rather than someone like Bach (or indeed Mozart) who was writing just to pay the bills.

I can understand classic music being impressive on a rational level but it actually just bores me to tears so I listen to Streetlight Manifesto and Dead Prez instead.

not to have a massive go at you but everyone I've met who's ever said that is basing it on an infinitesimally small sample

I'm pretty sure it's basically impossible for anyone who likes some form of music to find the entire output of 500+ years boring
