Forget inflatable pubs, they;re planning an inflatable space station

Sue was woke before it was called that.

He was on my ignore list. If I wanted to know what BR14 thinks about something, I'd just wait for Paddy to post.

That happened to my wife, who is very VERY scared of the dentist. After taking a long time to get the courage to have it done she started getting problems and an x-ray showed the same. I didn't realise just how truly tiny the files/drills were.

She opted (without much choice) to have it...

[d000hg]

I know the proper ones cost a small fortune from a YouTube chappie who covered it. Why does she want you sneaking around in the dark?

[d000hg]

Too much of an open goal, love you really NLUK ...

[d000hg]

So you're saying it's OK for an agent to discriminate who they take as customers based on protected characteristics?...

[d000hg]

1)'proper' is pretty subjective. Modern disruptors are a breath of fresh air to an industry which is money for old rope.
2)That's a huge stretch. Many people do their own viewings. We prefer to and we prefer to meet the owners when buying since the agent invariably knows absolutely nothing about...

[d000hg]

Well everyone knows agents are mostly gay, that's probably why this couple used PB in the first place ...

[d000hg]

Yeah I don't get that either. It's quite common in a certain type of conservative as if they think it's the "original" version and more modern ones are less accurate, rather than that it was written in (I assume) the language of the time. It can be a lovely way to read scripture - I prefer...

Nevermind that you can get one of these for your garden:




Inflatable film studio to orbit Earth (The Register link)

Hope they don't get an 'accidental' live loaded gun up there, what a way for Tom Cruise to die....

I assume even to you it's clear "whisperers" doesn't mean people who go round talking sotto voice? Like when we call people "snakes in the grass" we don't literally mean they are snakes.

I'm not sure why the other things are a problem to you, why you highlighted the...

Hands up who is surprised someone knocked NL's teeth out?

I didn't get fancy tech but it was actually one of the less painful fillings, the problem was simply the fear. Getting an idea just how deep in he was going, and worrying that at any moment they might hit a nerve. The worst thing was the nasty hydroxide (IIRC)!...

[d000hg]

THe good book certainly doesn't endorse getting scalped 3% by an estate agent who sends a spotty teen round to show your home ...

[d000hg]

With it being on PB. you get direct contact with the seller which potentially means you can see who is looking if they have a profile with photos (I think). So it's possibly unwittingly aiding prejudice because now you can see they're black before they visit.

I wonder if this will rumble...

[d000hg]

But of course you did
I didn't see where it said the cats were harmed?...

[d000hg]

Does this fall under the same rules as refusing service to people based on race/religion/orientation/gender? Or can you refuse to "sell my house to some bloody poofs" without getting in trouble?

This surely happens quite often I would have thought, though I suppose sending tracts...

[d000hg]

I had my first RC during lockdown and the chap actually asked if he wanted me to do it, or a referral to a specialist place (microscopes and all that). I was tempted but decided I preferred a known/safe environment as I was quite nervous - plus it was an hour away rather than 10min to drive afterwards...

[d000hg]

It's the same dentist doing the same work unless you pay extra (even privately) for white fillings and so on. Similarly the hygenist - same person doing the same stuff you just pay more to book privately. I think you are mistaken.


For major corrective work you could be right but...

[d000hg]

I hear people say they can't get a dentist but have never struggled to find one not taking NHS patients - perhaps I've simply been lucky, perhaps it's a north/south thing?

Either way, my dentist is a Bupa practice but they are even now accepting new NHS sign-ups and so the mystery to me...
