I always see this one recommended, Debs: https://www.entitledto.co.uk

Thanks Claire I'll have a look then send her the link.

She's done the government one but it just gives you a total rather than a breakdown.  She's also increased her hours at work and just guessed at the possible rent she'd pay if going private.

Is there a reason she has to move home?  Just that her being the one with the childen, why isn't the partner moving instead.  Usually, if the Law is involved, judges like to keep children in the family home, if at all possible.

I guess because it's her decision to leave and the house and mortgage are in his name.  She's also not the type to go into battle for something she doesn't think is fair to the other person.

Ah OK.

That website Claire recommended is pretty good.  Also she should get, at the very least, a 25% discount on Council Tax.  Hopefully she will get much more than that.

I just hope she can afford everything without getting into debt but she seemed optimistic last night.  The improved contract at work has helped put her mind at rest anyway.

I have a question! Everyday during the week I make a sandwich for my lunch using two slices of bread from a Warburtons thick sliced loaf of bread, although I appreciate other brands are available. Every now and then when I get to the end of the loaf there is only one slice available to make a sandwich from and I have to break into a new loaf to make up the other half of the sandwich. So the question is do they make these loaves with an even number of slices or is the number random or is something else going here?

Ah - 17 slices! But why is there sometimes 2 slices left at the end and sometimes 1 slice left?

Because every other time you are using the carry over from the previous loaf?

Maybe it's connected to how thick the crusts are so if the slicer isn't set at the correct measure.

Sometimes the crusts are like mega doorsteps and other times, thin as a cig paper 🤷

[PaulF]

Probably for Rob...

When did we stop using the hazard lights for letting us out , either at junctions or into another lane of traffic, and start flicking the left and right indicator alternately?  Is there a correct number of left and rights?

One day a guy is acting kinda weird after work and his wife notices it.She asks him, ‟Honey, what’s wrong?”. ‟Oh....nothing.Don’t worry about it” he replies, but she keeps persisting to find out what’s bothering him.

Finally he says, ‟Ok, ok....at work today, I had this sudden urge to stick my....my dick...into the pickle slicer.” ‟WHAT!?” his wife said, ‟That’s...that’s....not normal! I think you need to see a therapist or someone to talk about this.” No, no‟ said the husband, ”I’ll be ok.I just...it was a one time thing.It will be fine.‟

A few weeks go by.One day the husband comes home from work in the middle of the day. His wife greets him at the door.He’s ashen-faced and she can tell that something’s very wrong.

”Honey, what’s wrong?‟ she asked him.”Well....remember a few weeks ago when I told you about the pickle slicer?‟ ”Ya,‟ she replies ”...wait, NO! No you did not!!?‟ ”Yes‟ he replies, ”Yes....I did.I stuck my dick in it.‟ ”Oh my god!‟ his wife says, ”What happened!?!?‟ ”....I got fired‟ he sheepishly replies.

”No, no.I mean, what happened with the pickle slicer?‟ she asked him.

”Oh.Well, she got fired too‟

Yes I've noticed that. If its not always 17 then maybe a QA issue in the bakery.

If I still did her hair I'd ask Mrs Warburton what the hell's going on 😊

I do like a mega thick crust of bread though with loads of butter and homemade strawberry jam 🥰

We want solar downlighters either side of our front door, but we have a canopy about 2ft out by 6ft wide. The front of the house gets loads of sun in the morning and is east facing. Would they get enough energy on the wall under the canopy do you reckon?

Should be fine in summer, if you buy decent ones that enable you to remove the batteries, you could always boost them when needed.

You might be able to get some split ones, they usually come with a long cable, so you could position that above your awning.

Another one: been quoted £2,500+vat to replace the guttering and downspout just on the back of the house - it's 3 storeys and over an extension so it'll need scaffolding. Seems a bit steep that for some gutters? The scaffolding alone is £1300 net.

Ask around if anybody you know, knows a scaffolder, one of them will happily throw that up on a day off, I'd then replace the guttering myself, piece of piss to do.

Depending on access, you could hire a tracked cherry picker for half that & have it done in a day.

I was going to suggest hiring a cherry picker too. 

We were quoted £650 for scaffolding to paint the flats window outside which is 1st floor so that's what the decorator suggested.

They're the cheapest option for quick jobs, especially if you're working off hard ground.

Yep.

because they are arrogant selfish lazy dangerous twats.

because they are arrogant selfish lazy dangerous twats.

And it’s all age groups now. At one time it was young lads and the occasional zoned out bag head but the other day I was narrowly missed by a late middle aged cyclist wearing some of the gear and a helmet.

He was a fat twat as well so maybe he didn’t like going on the road as he’d have to pedal faster to avoid the traffic.

[bradders1011]

Cherry picker probably isn't an option as it's the back of the house and our garden backs/sides onto several others, no way of getting it close unless my cherry picker expertise is out of date

Cheers though, definitely asking around.

I was thinking something like this, you're bound to find somebody local who'll do the scaffolding as a side job.

My twins yanked the radiator from the wall (they are 2) and now the radiator is loose with the screws hanging out partly. Do you have to take the whole radiator off to reattach it?

Yeah, you'll have to take it off to reattach the brackets, simple enough diy job though.

And look at you as if you are in the wrong for walking on said pavement.

Don’t know why that made me think of it but I wonder how old Anywhichwayucan’s twins are these days.

Don't mind it when it's kids, boils my piss when it's an adult who rides like a 5yr old.

Could you/your painter not just throw a ladder up? First floor not that high.

[red-nosed reign-debs]

No it's way too high for ladders plus they'd need to be in the middle of the road.

Would a scaffold tower be ok, they're a lot cheaper than any of the mechanical platforms and you can put them together yourself.

We got them done when we had the windows refurbished. 

They're the old sash type that needed new ropes, pulleys, weights and draught proofing so whilst the windows were out they painted the outside, from the inside.

Gotcha, had it in my head that you were in the process of getting it done.

Couldn't find anything on this.

Anyone know where you can buy Hillsborough JFT merch in Liverpool?

I seem to recall the HJC shop across the street from The Albert and Anfield being closed.

Any help appreciated. Ta.

Anyone know why the Gambian flag is being flown alongside the Welsh flag on our town hall?

Is it a special day in Gambia?

Sussed it.  Our local town is twinned with a Gambian town 👍
