Don't get me started, car went in for its annual service and was recommended to have all 4 plugs replaced. Fuck me, I used to remember when they were 3 or 4 quid each not 22 fucking quid each.
Still will not get a dynamo car (The Running Man....)

Of course but @Raven seems not to see it as a win so I am giving him some encouragement.....

Fucking cable management, soffets, lips, slippery hands, the sun, getting all sweaty.
How hard is it to make a hole in a soffet and feed some conduit through? A. FUCKING HARD.
I have had to give up as I am knackered, up and down ladders, up and down into the loft, letting go off my guide wire so having to start all over again. Have got the conduit to the soffet but it is catching on something so need to make the hole bigger but I am not sure I want to go that high on a ladder.

Having to pay a fuckload for a licence to rent my old house out, with regular inspections - all of which I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for this:

Carpets? The house is nicer for my tenants than it ever was when I was living in it myself. It's carpets are new, it's properly decorated, insulated etc. Gas safety checks annually. All maintenance issues dealt with immediately.
The "shit landlords" in Nottingham are all the social housing. I.E. Nottingham council owned properties. The private landlord properties tend to be of a much higher standard.
The whole narrative is about landlords being shit, but in general they're not. It's the fucking councils, the government. Deflecting.

Kassie lives in social housing, where landlords do not have to provide flooring in the bedrooms.

I've never understood wall to wall carpets, lived in UK for years but still never really got it. Why is it so prevalent? Most euro countries have wood/vinyl/plastic and throw down a rug here and there, seems easier to maintain to me (especially with folks wearing shoes indoors, madness)

We've just put carpets down upstairs. Warmer, nicer under bare feet. Sound insulating too.
Downstairs I've slate tiles throughout. Underfloor heating is a total revelation.
But we're changing from "can wear shoes" to "bring your slippers" for visitors. Where we live it'd be a complete and literal shitfest otherwise.

We never get dressed up. Fuck that shit. If I can't rock up to a restaurant or venue in my shorts then it's not worth going inHow many times have you or the missus got all dressed up, drove to whereever and then realised your shoes have shit up the sides as you stepped in a wet one ?
