It's standing, I'll take it.
It's standing, I'll take it.
Someone on my street seems to have a motorbike now and they've started parking it between my house and next door as there's a lamp post to lock it to. It's been sitting ticking over for the past hour and it's so fucking noisy.
Credit scores. I don’t get it. Mines bombed by 100 the other day. No idea why. Haven’t done anything and credit card paid in full as with every other month. Got this:
Your total credit balance (not including mortgages) has increased. This means your Experian Credit Score has gone down.
A balance was recorded on your Capital One Account balance £456previously £28.
The total balance on all your accounts excluding any mortgages has increased which has had a negative influence to your score. If you reduce the balance on any account which is not a mortgage it can help to improve your score.
I spent less last month than the 3 previous months. £550 last month compared to £700-£900. But because the date of the statement had more on it (statements are like the 10th of the month for some reason) they think I’m using a lot more.
Here I thought using a credit card and clearing it every month was meant to be beneficial to your credit score.
Edit: actually I don’t have a single statement with a higher balance than £200 in the last 6 months so fuck knows

I recently got hit with a few enforcement notices from some bailiff twats for some historic unpaid council tax. The council in question had unilaterally altered the accurate forwarding address they had for me, which they had sent stuff to that I had then paid, to some other shit and then summonsed me etc. Me popping up on the UK electoral register probably tipped these twats off. managed to sort it without having to pay the bailiff fees, but still extremely annoying. No idea what that does to my credit rating as I have literally never checked it but I've always managed to sail through most lending criteria test type things where I guess it might show.
When we moved out of our old house last year, apparently the buyer (who bought it as a buy to let) didn't feel like he needed to pay British Gas for the few months until he finally got a tenant. So he's ignoring the bailiffs and they keep sending us letters asking for the money. Told them several times already we didn't own the house for the period they're chasing but it's in one ear and out the other.
Victoria Derbyshire. Newsnight is unwatchable atm.
Every time I pick up some milk, I have to check the bottom of the container for leaks. I run my hand under the bottom and, if it's dry, I take it. There is always one. Yesterday, I picked up one with a leak.
This has literally never happened to me.
I'm thinking it's something specific to my local Tesco. I never used to think about it until I started seeing milk puddles in store.
My daughter projectile vomited in the hallway yesterday, then the cat pissed on the living room carpet because I locked him in the living room whilst I was cleaning it up and he couldn't get to the litter box in the kitchen.
So I put baking soda all over the hall to absorb the sick smell and he pissed on that too. Little cunt.
He's mocking your piss phobia. Donned by a cat.
Toilet chad.
I'm fairy sure that not liking piss isn't a bad thing.
I'm not scared of it I just can't, at busy urinals. That fucks me off.
Urinals are like bar stools. You never go directly beside another man.
My wife went to see Taylor Swift at Anfield, where they used some mens toilets as womens, and she was baffled by the trough style urinals, and how we just all stand together and pee basically on the floor.
There's no thread for good things so this will do. The Guinness nitrosurge is a great bit of stuff, and it does not fuck me off.
I'll always take a cubicle if one's free, that's mostly due to fear of wayward splashback from a urinal neighbour.
A big problem up here is they are almost always engaged for nasal habits.
Was going to say the queues for the traps are for the nose beers around me as well.
About a month ago there were not one but TWO copies of Devvo’s book, That Book You Never Did Need, for sale on eBay. They were about £60 and at the time I couldn’t justify it.
i now have the money and it’s back to being unobtainable, and i likely won’t see another copy for sale for another ten years, if ever.
furious.
I'm a twit
Checked in with the old man today to see how he's doing since he lives down south. Apparently due to a neck ailment he is reluctant to have operated on he's traipsing around barefoot everywhere as that is some alternative healing thing he's found somewhere, resulting in him having a stand off with the local Waitrose manager
A new Chippy has just opened round my way. Is everyone just deliberately taking the piss with their prices these days?

My local, in SURREY no less, does cod for £5.80, rock/haddock/plaice for £7.80, and chips for £2.90. The people of Essex are getting scammed.
The lack of battered burgers in English chip shops is shameful. No need to worry about dickhead fish prices with those bad boys.
I complained to one of the Chinese Chip Shops about the lack of Munchie Boxes when I was living in Southend and they had them on the Menu within a month. They weren't a patch on the Brummie ones I enjoyed at Uni, but needs must.
Be the change you want to see Neeks. Get whining to your local.
The only chippy I've been to here was in the extortionate price bracket. £12 cod and chips territory. I think if I asked them to batter a burger they'd probably just ask me to leave. Doubt they would even have the burger van tier frozen shit to actually even attempt it.
I've seen a few more down market ones so maybe I'll give them a whizz. Unfortunately I'm the only person in my family who really likes stuff from the chippy so it's not a regular thing. More like a secret shame if I'm ever out and about on my own and can sneak one in.
I've noticed here with a food apps (especially the döner place) that the price can almost be marked up by 5-6 compared to just going to the place. I'm hoping it's to pay drivers properly but it's a massive piss take to be paying 18 for a kebab when it's 9 at the shop.
My first trip to Berlin had Kebabs for 3.90. What a city.
On the kebab front I've recently been introduced to tantuni which are amazing.
One of the great recent controversies is the rising price of kebabs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ar...f-doner-kebabs
The place I've been using for streaming has closed. Now to go look for another place. What a drag.
LLS? Looks like they spun up under another name
What would that name be?
I've found other sites, but I liked the way they showed the schedules.

Same damn site
