I hate dealing with their advisors because they are generally rubbish and don't understand their own explicit consent rules. I'm currently trying to get them to understand why an advance should be written off in a bankruptcy and it is akin to teaching a Labrador mandarin This was ESA and she was actually good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to one recently that had been nailed shut from outside and the front door plastered with loads of hand scrawled notes rambling about religious stuff and anti christs. Inside was like that one. It's very sad as well as disgusting. My colleague who worked at a council maintenance department before working with us has some truly eye popping, mind boggling, horrifying stories about the states some people live in. Think broken toilets unreported for years and massive mental health issues. Remember a work colleague telling me about a maintenance job where the toilet was broken and the tenant had shit in the bath with a layer of paper between the shite, it was like - and I quote - "Lasagne". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what this one was, though without the layered papers. The colleague in question was a works inspector for the council and would accompany them on forced entries to carry out gas certificates in properties where the tenant hadn't replied to arrange access. He said in 99 out of 100 cases the tenants were home when they forced entry and were living in a state of clear addiction / mental health hell in every case. I remember a joiner once telling me he was sent to a house years ago to replace the worktops and upon dismantling the old ones found he wasn't familiar with the material. He sawed into it and discovered it was regular timber laminate worktops with years of layered newspaper over the top. The tenants had been lining the worktop with newspaper each day, cutting fish on them and then just layering new paper the following day again, for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Saw my brother today for the first time this year. He’d been fixing his fence at the weekend and had hammered his thumb. Quite an accident-prone bunch. You’d think it was something that only happened in cartoons but both me and my old man fell down trapdoors too. I got bitten by a horse and he fell off some whilst jaiked. Weird how things can run in families. My cousin rolled his car into a field, was fine, but got out and was bitten by a sheepdog. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Got a bit pished last night so digestive cycle must have accelerated to rid system of badness and pooped out 3 perfectly formed undigested peas this morning. Seen undigested corn before, but never peas. Just floating about on the surface of the bog water. Have confirmed with wife she didn’t put them there beforehand. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Not sure how it happened but this message managed to type itself out on Facebook messenger in a conversation with my mother last weekend I dont think we need to know what you did in the porch tbh. I can well imagine.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really illuminating. Many moons ago, I saw some presentation materials from a conference that an old landlord had helped to organise, and one of the pieces of advice to new landlords was never to return deposits. If you can't think of a reason to keep their money, you're not trying hard enough. And that was probably the least immoral of the things they were actually willing to put down on paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Just had a read of the Stenhousemuir topic and some of the posts relating to Cox are disheartening to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick look when I became aware of the story but then exited. The improvement that needs to happen here is that folk need to forget which football team they support when discussing it, and just call shite behaviour shite. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, some people refuse to even try and understand the issue and chuck about absolute nonsense about it. It's not even their nonsense either much of the time, but rather garbage 'old school' pish they've heard or read. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
