Quick Question Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to get myself a different motor. I'm currently driving a 54 plate 1.8 Astra and I need something cheaper to run. Ideally I'd get some cash back along with my car - I don't mind having to drive a bit of a shitter for a while - but if I'll get better value for a straight swap, I'm happy to go with that. Similarly, if putting a wee dod of cash from my end into the deal will make a significant difference, I'm open to that too.

What's my best option? Will I get a decent deal on a trade in at a used car dealer?

Will you f**k.

The best way to do it is to sell it privately with 'no offers' on your ad or if you get a swap that you're happy with.

Willing to give anything a go at this point, Rico. Mularam, Sudaram!

See your doctor if it's a regular thing. Thirty years after a perforated ulcer nearly punched my clock, I started having similar pains and heartburn a couple of years ago. Gaviscon and ranatidine (Zantac) gave temporary relief, but didn't get rid of the discomfort totally.

Turns out that the old villains of spicy food, alcohol and smoking don't have a lot to do with it, rather it's a wee bacterium that most of us have, called helicobacter. Some of us (including YT, obviously!) Suffer from the little buggers more than others. Doctor prescribed me Omeprazole, and I've had no trouble since.

Been given a parking ticket by Edinburgh council but I really don't wanna pay it. Anyone ever got round one of these without coughing up? I know it's easily done with private companies, as I've escaped them in the past, but not with the council.

If you've got any grounds for an appeal then give it a shot. The appeals people tend to be fairly sympathetic.

Is the Red Onion restaurant in Glasgow any good?

Sno bad. It might be vegan though, but that being said, I had a nosh in there (careful now) and it was nice enough.

And here's a question from me:

In the mens' bogs, we have three cubicles, hereafter referred to as Traps 1, 2 and 3.
Heading in to make a deposit at the porcelain bank, if Trap 1 is occupied, I head for Trap 3 and vice versa. Obviously, this is to maximise the distance between me and another person expelling faeces from their rectum. If all the traps are free, I usually head for trap 3 (furthest away).
If you're mid-shite and someone comes in, you'd assume they'd head to trap 1, i.e. the one furthest away from me. But more often than not, they actually choose to be closer to me and my shite in trap 2. There is no difference (I can tell) between the three traps. So why, when taking a shite - similar to when taking a piss - would you choose to be as close as possible to someone else taking a shite?

Sorry if this diverts attention away from your question (I have no answer I'm afraid) but I've got one of my own.

I was involved in a road traffic accident in December. Today I finally got a text from my solicitor saying the other side has admitted responsibility for the accident. Now I've googled how long does a claim last - and the results gave back very vague answers, every claim is different, etc.

I accept that. But, those who have been in this situation, from your own experiences, how long did you have to wait until receiving compensation from the moment I'm at now: the other driver admitting it was his fault?

If it helps - injury is whiplash (2-3 weeks worth) and car was a total loss.

If they saw you going in they probably thought you were taking confession.

Shut up. We're talking etiquette here!
