I can think of another reason i wouldn't want to live there.

Joking aside that is pretty damning.  NHBC is an absolutely joke of an organisation.

I like how in the article it refers to defects as snags. That’s nonsense, they’re two very different things. You can tell that’s someone with no knowledge of anything building related writing that. However the fact remains how a house builder can get away with something as simple as missing expansion joints in 2017 is astounding.

Almost as bad as putting up buildings with missing wall ties.  Builders vying with car salesmen for the most untrustworthy profession but still trailing this guy by the proverbial country mile.

Probably the most disappointing thing ever. I'd be crushed if I went to such an event, given how exceptional cheese is;

Many of the comments are amusing though (NOT the fucking puns, so don't start*). The video of folk chanting 'REFUND! REFUND! REFUND!' (in the last link) is chucklesome as well.

The organisers have hit back on their Facebook, in a post that claims everything was fine, despite photographic proof and an almost overwhelming number of attendees saying otherwise. Basically they're lying b*****ds.

Oh and Ja Rule was the organiser.

The punters should have paid attention to Ja Rule’s previous festival organising attempt.

Just bough a meat box from the meat man. Looks no bad 67bb0c5d90964a2330557e4c42a053ce.jpg893e1651b36af807eb74579fe3345602.jpg

I hope that when it says 'Mixed Meat' that it means all the meat has been crushed in to one big meat cube and stuffed in to that box. You have to separate it out yourself.

I've surveyed two sites recently where new build flat developments have been constructed and the joiners for the housebuilders haven't properly fixed the chipboard subfloor to the joists, haven't glued the joints  of the caber and haven't glued or in any way deflected the joists from rubbing, and one of the sites they had also had the skirting sitting directly atop the joists. Both sites have engineered hardwood floors throughout and need to all be taken up to rectify as the resultant squeaking is so bad it's led to court action amongst tenants and owners in some cases. Two huge developments, from two different housebuilders. I know from talking to the agents for one of the sites that the builder went bust building that development and the architect involved cashed in immediately and bought three of them and got permission to knock them into one. That same site they've obviously failed to schedule the joinery and heating around each other properly, as the heating pipes have been forced under the squeaking floors and then the caber jumped on to flatten the pipes to make them fit under the subfloor. You'd be amazed what they get away with.

Why are you showing us photos of the contents list and box and not the actual meat, you total fucking walloper?

I like the sound of that. You could cook it with a blow torch like a big square kebab.
