Calling Sunak and Starmer 2 cheeks of the same arse in a victory speech is pretty funny.

Angrymog posted:I had a relatively high speed crash in my previous smart fortwo (a car in front of me lost control and came sideways across my lane), hitting them in the side I think. Mine was the smallest of the three cars involved, and I was the least injured person, with only a cut to my knee. Mine was also the only car where the side windows hadn't broken. Car accidents and the injuries to occupants inside are entirely down to what angle of the impact and what the speed differential is. Cars are pretty safe at driving head on into stationary objects up to like 40-50mph these days, but a car hitting you in the side when you're both doing 50+ is going to cause a lot of damage. iirc most deaths involving car crashes come from either vast differences in weight (Truck into the back of a car in traffic etc) or head on crashes caused by risky overtakes. It doesnt really matter what you're driving in those situations. In normal day to day accidents you would usually want to be in the bigger car and I think injury statistics back that up. So a 4x4 is usually safer than a Smart car, but then a Volvo estate would be too. And on the subject of childcare, every nursery in reasonable driving distance from our house costs more than £1600 a month for 40 hours a week of care. The fact childcare isnt free in this country is an absolute crime and yes I'm only posting about it now because it affects me, because I honestly had no loving clue it was that expensive.

Dabir posted:Anecdotally, I'm in an LTN and the main effect I've noticed is that none of the assholes who drive around in really loud cars advertising their tiny dicks get to go down the road where the local councillor lives. My hairdresser has told me footfall to her business has cratered since the scheme went through, and a local sports shop that had been there for 80 years upped sticks and moved to the Jewellery Quarter. And also one of the main roads feeding into the high street is even more jammed up with traffic at busy hours than it used to be, and all the residents along there have signs in their windows saying NO TO LTN, WE DESERVE CLEAN AIR TOO. And it's not related, but while I'm griping about traffic management, another local street has jams three times daily, because nobody parking there bothers to get their loving wheels on the pavement, so it's effectively a one lane road with traffic trying to go both ways. LTNs get blamed for these things whether it's true or not. Your hairdressers business has cratered but then so has most service industry in the last few months. Traffic is busy, but it always has been. You just notice it now. This is literally what the study has found.

kecske posted:"I've been very clear" absolutely instaneously boils my piss every time I see or hear it because it's always followed by impenetrable roundabout noncommittal nonsense. It happens often enough that you could call it Pissboil's Law or something. Its a phrase Theresa May used constantly and every media interview since she started doing it has it in at least once. Its soundbyte politics again.

PriorMarcus posted:I'm not sure if there's a full plumbing thread but this is a minor problem so I thought I'd ask here. You'll probably need a new valve. They're not expensive and a plumber can do it in under an hour so its not that bad. If they can lock the heating loop off before the towel rail they wont even need to drain the system and refill.

I'll do pretty much anything around the house but plumbing is one thing I dont touch because you can think what you've done is absolutely fine and then a few years later your ceiling caves in because its been leaking slowly the entire time.

Didnt particularyl want to bring it to the thread but my wife has robbed my business account, taken out fraudulent loans in my name etc. I am essentially hosed and need to declare bankruptcy You need to call the Police and your bank in that order. After that I would engage with a solicitor.

Mans been robbed. Best thing he can do is get the police involved and they can freeze assets and at least try and recover something. Prolific gamblers have loads of accounts to get around the spend/loss limiters so there may be some money to claw back.

Also reporting a crime opens up various avenues for legal advice. A lot of solicitors are happy to advise you on what your options are for a very small fee, if not free if you are a victim of a crime.

The amount of fake car ads on facebook marketplace is absolutely ridiculous. They're all written the same too. - 'Price for quick sale, pet free, no dings dents or marks, perfect condition' etc. Its bonkers how many there are. I guess the scam is to get people to pay by bank transfer or something?

Kin posted:As someone who's only ever really dealt with Microsoft products, is all that craziness down to the NHS being run like a mini privatised kingdom where different areas have different systems because such and such's mate had a "software solution" to sell. Isnt this exactly what happens when you give people the option to do whatever they want? Like even in my company the sales team would pick a different system to the finance team, because every system has its strengths and weaknesses and its usually a compromise unless you have infinite resources to shell out building something completely bespoke.
