(if you want to burn all your money on a lawyer that is) It's honestly best to cut your losses and walk away.

Unlikely. There was some intelligence behind it. He was aware the locks had been changed as I explained his in an SMS so I did what he asked explicitly. Secondly I could apologise for the mistake of leaving the wrong keys inside the propert

Totally agree. Good to hear this level of enforcement is taking place.

I certainly understand how bad it can get for landlords. I'm not excusing any bad tenants here for sure. I will at least read the synopsis for that film :)

I did. See one of my other comments.

I just asked my other half how she was feeling about it after 16 years and she laughed so clearly petty justice has a lasting effect. I think the person in question would be in vastly larger amounts of trouble for even raising his head abov

It's not quite that straightforward here in the UK. Well it is but the other way. The landlord has no right to enter a property outright. The property is for exclusive enjoyment by the tenant according to law. They can give 24 hours&#x

Sometimes it is not about personal gain but making sure that any unfair gains are worthless.

We'll agree to disagree on that. After 22 years of putting up with marmite in the house I still don't like it ;)

Yeah that's roughly what happened here. Although I knew he was likely in there because he parked his motorbike outside. He was actually in my 2 year old daughter's bedroom when I opened the door. I heard him leave it and come down

Actually it's not quite that easy. If you think anyone even gives a crap about this sort of stuff then you're mistaken. Even today. Firstly, I spoke to the police and they said they couldn't do anything because I likely could

I thought I went too far for a few years to be honest. Now I realise that no protection whatsoever was afforded to any private tenants back then other than taking the landlord to court which was expensive, time consuming, resulted in unpaid

Nothing at all. Paid on time every time and basically decorated the place. Went on the market for £100/month more the moment the tenancy expired and he evicted us. The guy ran umbrella companies to hide his assets and address and to ri

We changed the locks originally because we caught him in the place doing an inspection unannounced. All our clothes had been gone through and the computer turned on. Funny sounding inspection. The marmite was deserved. If you’re going to ma

I did this as well after having a couple of snooping landlords. Also it's empowering. One rental I had, prior to the tenancy deposit protection scheme I had a serial con artist landlord. At the end of the tenancy, he billed my entire £

For now. Apparently we got a big chunk of our energy imported and there’s Brexit on so we’re going back to coal fired Teslas and eating grass and our own shoes pretty soon I reckon.

I'm playing with the PIC10F320 at the moment. Minimalism is fun. $0.50 in 1 off quantities. 6-pin SOT-23 package. 16MHz. 0.5K of program space. 64 bytes of RAM. Waveform generator. ADC. Timers. PWM and the coolest thing a configurable

My issue is across the whole windows platform not just WSL. If you check large repos out on windows native it sucks too. Rather than just fixing WSL and declaring victory they should fix the NTFS problem.

by setquk 7y ago
I'd be interested more if they fixed the NTFS performance issues MFT contention on small files. That would have massive platform benefits. But the problem is it's hard and they already forked off ReFS and didn't fix anything

It’s amazing that the state moves so quickly when someone operates against its interests.

Siri is still half deaf and tries to send me to the chip shop when I ask it to send a message and they have a ridiculous amount of budget behind that so probably not. At the moment our technology is like Zorg’s desk in Fifth Element. Stuffe

Gyms always run unsubscribe scams like this. It's rife here in the UK. After getting screwed similarly I said fuck it and just run around the local park.

There's enough plane spotters around Heathrow 24/7 that this is actually probably covered.

This is why we have tests. This is the same as a unit test failure. Except it costs a lot more when something goes red in the launch sector.

We can pick conceptual holes in an argument until the universe implodes but lets consider that in normal use you won't break your phone screen. Until Samsung came out with this, which is the problem.

I do this. Everyone seems to think I'm insane however. This is the same people who's lives regularly descend into chaos doing the same stupid things over and over again.
