You can make a cut across the screw head and then just unscrew it out.

There are specialist tools to unscrew one way screw heads like that but cutting it will be easier if you don't have one.

What are they called, and where do you get them?

Got to remove dozens of screws, so cutting a slot across the head, or other long winded shit, is gonna be a pain in the arse.

Search for one way screw removers, should throw up some options for you.

By their very nature they're tamper proof screws....but...

Does any one know how to remove them?  Is there a way?

Is there a special tool, or technique for getting them out?  Short of drilling them out?
Hammer and chisel the heads off and then a pair of pliers to wind them out.
Or, after the hammer and chisel, try putting the protruding screw in the jaws of your drill and reverse them out.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not practical, but there mustbe a tool for doing these screws up, so surely that tool must unscrew them, too?

Its just a normal screwdriver, if you look at the pic, you can see where a flat bladed screwdriver will grip on tightening. The idea behind them is you use them for things like shed doors, eg the locks, so that once tightened up, they cannot be removed. With normal screws, you can just remove the bolt with a screwdriver and open the shed door. The one in Richies pic looks to be on a hinge on a gate or shed door

Yeah they are one way. So you can tighten them with a normal screwdriver but there is no grip to undo.

A quick pass with a Drexel or similar will put another groove in to use a normal screwdriver though.

I moved into a new flat about two weeks ago and there's a smoke detector on the ceiling adjacent to the bathroom.

For some reason in the last day or so, whenever I open or close the bathroom door, the detector lets off a beep or two a few seconds after the door opening/closing motion is complete. It didn't do this when we first moved in, and doesn't beep at any other time except when there's lots of steam coming out of the open bathroom door after a hot shower/bath.

Does anyone have a theory as to why the smoke detector would be doing this?

Its detecting the steam. Ours goes off if we leave the bathroom door open during or after a shower and the steam comes out.

Was the word ‘conglomerate’ widely used before Succession came out?

I just finished watching Succession about 3 weeks ago and I am sure it was either the first time I heard the word or first time I had heard it in years, but now I hear it everywhere. It was used on TAW recently, I recall.

Yeah it’s quite a commonly used term, although a lot use it incorrectly thinking it’s just another term for a big business, but it’s for a business which is in multiple different industries.

Think it’s definitely more of an American term though.

Called to add a 2nd driver to my insurance.

1st of all they said this can't be done on a temporary basis, and has to be until the end of the policy.
Then after taking the details, they told me they can't add the person on, and one of the reasons could be that they haven't had their licence for 10 years.

I've had this person on previous policies temporarily, and I haven't had my licence for 10 years either. Anyone heard of this before?

Seems a very strange one. I had an old mate over from New Zealand and wanted to put him on my car for 2 weeks as a runaround while he was here and that was no problem, they charged me £1, couldnt believe it was so cheap. I know beiong over 50 is a plus but that seems harsh, maybe ask him to get a quote for himself as a one off policy for the time needed or get back to them and ask to speak to someone more senior or knowledgeable.

I used to get added onto my sisters car sometimes for a short period but her insurance ended up making her do it for the rest of the policy term. This was a few years ago now.

Not heard anything about the 10yr rule personally, seems a very long time to expect someone to have had their license before allowing them to be added.

I've had her on my policy on at least 3 other occasions for short periods of time. I only passed my test 8 years ago, 7 for her. Bit weird that they are willing to insure me but not willing to add a 2nd driver and use that as a possible reason.

Not overly bothered. It's of no inconvenience to me.

How does redundancy work? Last time I got made redundancy, I was given two months pay as I'd been there 2 years but my current employer are mentioning settlement agreement and that I have to run it by an employment solicitor, not sure I quite understand. Got the below

you will be send a Settlement Agreement to your personal email via our solicitors, once you receive this you will need to seek a employment solicitor to review it for you.

Not sure how old you are, but the UK statutory redundancy amount is 1 week for every year worked between 22 and 41, and 1.5 weeks pay for 41+, capped at 20 years. Max weekly amount is £538.

Unless your employer has a redundancy scheme of their own?

I'm really sorry, but this wall collapsed onto your car...

Used to get insured on my stepdads car before I got mine, so up til 2016 when I had it while he was on holiday, always just 2 weeks at a time and he never had issues getting me insured. Maybe they read RAWK and just didn't want to take the risk?

Car insurers change their criteria. Them accepting something in the past is no guarantee they will now.

Could be your current insurer just don't really want to offer temporary extra driver insurance anymore as it doesn't fit their risk criteria.

When we move to France will we be able to use our existing electrical appliances with plug adapters or is it recommended to buy new everything?

I'm thinking tvs, ps4/5, decks, amps, speakers, vacuum cleaner, coffee machine, bread maker etc but not white goods.

The French run on 230v supply, same as the UK, so cannot see any issue. The missus has UK bought straighteners, cloud 9s and its wired with a Euro 2 pin plug, which clips into a UK 3 pin. I'd probably look at rewiring the plugs to 2 pins just for convenience.
