Davkaus Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 How did word get out? Under promise and over deliver. "Well it's going to be tough, but I should just about have it done by Christmas" is the way to go, then deliver it a couple of week early and look like a miracle worker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Property management departments, in particular Foxtons. How is it possible for you to not have the contact details of the Landlord when you know that you need his approval to actually proceed with any repairs? Part of my downstairs neighbors ceiling, a small cupboard above their boiler has actually given way whilst they were away for a month over the Summer due to piss poor DIY undertaken by my landlord himself. This guy actually thinks its acceptable to put down tiles in the bathroom without grouting and no silicone at the base of the shower.The room is far from water tight and they've known about this from pretty much the day we moved in last February.

I only told my department. But they then told other departments along the lines of "Oh we should have the information by the end of November" Cue the end of November and everybody wondering where it is. Next time I'll know better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dress up in Lycra and look a clearing in the woods , slow down all the traffic on the main roads and then act like a demented millitant everytime someone in a car doesn't give you 500 ft clearance and chase them down the road just so you can tell them to look where they are going and then arrive at work drenched as you got caught in a downpour nah think I'll take the car thanks Edited December 3, 2015 by tonyh29 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Tony, I gave you a like, even though you omitted my fave, ride up the inside undertaking cars at junctions and then get shouty and righteous when the car is legitimately turning left. I rarely ride my bike to work, I find I have to get up too early to get from Cardiff to Swindon by 8:00am. I guess I need a job with the local planning department, swan in around 9:30, ignore my e-mails for a few hours, attend a seminar on bats then **** off home around about 4:00pm on my bicycle.

But no cyclists use it instead they persist in cycling down a 50mph road causing traffic delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post darrenm Posted December 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 I don't get why people are so anti-cycling. There's no difference between someone not driving very well and someone not cycling very well. Some people are just shit at operating their vehicle on the roads, whether they're in a car, van, truck, motorbike, or bike. The roads are multi use. They're not specifically for cars and not specifically for bikes. They're for multiple types vehicles who all have equal rights. If a bike holds someone up in a car, that's just how the roads work. You can overtake a slower moving vehicle when it's safe to do so, it's nobody's right to expect to get to a destination in a certain time. The huge difference between the 2 forms of transport (aside from one costing money and making you fat and the other saving you money and running on fat) is that the life of the cyclist is in the hands of the person operating a 2 ton steel box 3 feet away from them. It's another human being's life. Why the disregard? Running is a great way to get fit, cycling is a great way to get fit, getting fit stops you dying early of many nasty things. There's nowhere else to ride but the roads, and the fossil fuel party is almost over, so bike use is only going to get greater. Quite surprised at runner Mooney and normally spot-on chrisp with their attitudes tbh. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
