It sometimes makes On Topic hard to follow when you can't read half of it so I end up reading the posts anyway and get wound up. All a bit pointless really. Anyway I was watching the news earlier and they had a bit about flossing being bad for your teeth. Does anyone actually floss their teeth? My dentist in all my time has never told me to do it, so I never have, but Americans all seem to do it on telly. My dentists nags me about flossing every. single. time. He's obsessed with it.

sharkyvilla Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I just save up all the shit between my teeth so the dentist has to scrape it all out with his thing. If I'm paying 18 quid, then I might as well get my money's worth with the cleaning. One time he didn't polish them and I wanted to jaw volley him.

HanoiVillan Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've contemplated putting numerous people onto the ignore list, and even had the 'finger on the trigger' a few times, but I've always returned from the brink. One of two thoughts always makes me go against it. Either I think 'so-and-so is a really high traffic poster, so even if I ignore him I'll read what he wrote whenever people quote him or if that isn't how it works then conversations will be hard to follow' or I think 'now this idiot can see everything I do but I can't keep an eye on him', which makes me feel at a disadvantage.

chrisp65 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was over your neck of the woods today actually Tony. By your neck of the woods, I mean england. We went to Paignton Zoo as a sort of retro birthday treat. As it happens, they had a 'baby' giraffe, a couple of new lion cubs and some shiny new monkey babies. A 5 minute shower just after lunch cleared the crowds and we almost had the place to ourselves by 4:00pm. Got a bunch of photos that look like we had the mother of all safari's!

omariqy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Warning Rant Alert So we are moving to Windsor for a year because of my wife’s job. We found a flat over a month ago to move into. We are meant to be moving into tomorrow. The estate agent mentioned that the landlord wanted to meet us before we moved in. I said fine and we pencilled in the 30th July to meet. The week before the agent contacts me to confirm a time and I informed him that I couldn’t do it and asked if we could do the weekend after. He said sure and that he would come back to me once he spoke to the landlord. Anyways I don’t hear back from him and last Friday I e-mailed him to ask what was going on – no response. I get a call on Saturday saying the landlord is at the flat waiting to meet you. I explained that I hadn’t been told a date or time to meet her so I couldn’t get to Windsor at the last minute. Considering I live on the other side of London. Anyways I get a call today from the agent saying the landlord wasn’t happy that we didn’t turn up on Saturday and that she wants to meet before we move in. I.e. we can’t move in tomorrow and they have to move the date back to the upcoming weekend. Annoying but doable. I ask the agent if she is willing to meet today as she works in London. This means we can move in tomorrow. The agent rings my wife and informs her that the landlord now wants 6 months rent up front! On Friday I had signed the contract and paid the monies. Apparently she has not signed the contract and not willing to until we pay 6 months up front. Even though she asked the agent to draft the contract on the basis of 6 weeks deposit, one month up front and monthly payments. I am absolutely screwing. The agent has said to the landlord that they will guarantee our rent for up to 6 months as they are pretty flabbergasted too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier said than done but if it was me I'd back out, get the money back, try to find another place ASAP and just commute/stay in a cheap hotel until it's sorted.

Luckily we are with my wife's parents waiting to move in tomorrow. We could stay there for a bit whilst we look elsewhere. It's just the hassle factor and the fact we found the perfect place in terms of the actual place and proximity to the train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
