choffer Posted March 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2019 Finding out that the annoying dripping noise in the bathroom was coming from the apartment upstairs. I’d resigned myself to having to rip out the bathroom and put a new one in as the sound was coming from behind the tiled stud wall so now the £100 call out fee from the plumber seems like a huge win by comparison.

Davkaus Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I think I'd go postal if I could hear a drip from someone else's property. In my first house, the walls were so thin I could hear next door flipping light switches. I'd be in bed absolutely seething, absolutely certain they were turning the lights on and off just to **** with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have too but compared to having to gut my bathroom and reinstall it, it was a very positive outcome. I was convinced it was the plumbing into the shower that was the issue so it's a huge relief to find out it's not my problem. I'm very lucky with my apartment in that I have nobody to the sides, just the old dear above who is as quiet as a mouse and deaf as a post so she never hears any noise I might make.

VILLAMARV Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Quote Welsh flag flown on St Patrick's Day by Sheffield City Council Sheffield City Council has been forced to apologise after it mistakenly flew a Welsh flag on St Patrick's Day. The red dragon emblem was spotted fluttering above Sheffield Town Hall on Sunday instead of Ireland's green, white and orange tricolour. A council spokesperson said "basic error" was to blame and apologised for any offence called. The authority said it would be raising the issue with staff and the company responsible. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-47612876 Who knew SCC outsourced their flag raising?

chrisp65 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 They're too busy arresting pensioners for protesting all the trees being cut down to have time to select and raise their own flags. Can be done far cheaper by outsourcing flag raising. Sheffield Council does appear to be a bit of a rogue state from what I see of it from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 My Mom was a receptionist for a plastics firm in Walsall a number of years back. She used to put calls out on the PA when someone from the factory floor was needed in reception. She fell for the Mike Hunt call once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wouldn't let me screenshot it, so I'll paraphrase: Woman: Does anybody else find that arthritis is ruining their sex life?

VILLAMARV Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Quote Saving snow leopards in Russia In Sailugemsky National Park, the snow leopard population has found an unlikely ally - ex-poachers. Their knowledge of the animal's movements and trap-setting was once used for hunting, but has now been reclaimed to monitor snow leopard populations thanks to a World Wildlife Fund project which began in 2015. Camera traps are used to monitor the snow leopard, which have seen a rise in population. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/47698317/the-ex-poachers-saving-big-cats-in-russia I love Snow Leopards me.

Chindie Posted March 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2019 Watching MasterChef tonight, the finalists did the usual go abroad to learn another cuisine in a high end restaurant and then at the end cook for some influential locals. They were in Hong Kong. One of those locals at the end was the owner of what I assume is a high end restaurant. The name of the restaurant? Ho Lee Fook. It's an obvious gag, the name is obviously a gag, but I appreciate a guy from Hong Kong starting a restaurant and thinking '**** it, it's my restaurant and I'm calling it Ho Lee Fook. Maybe some foreigners will turn up for a giggle'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not outrageously priced but I’d call it “fine dining” or at least in that neighbourhood. It’s called “My **** Restaurant” Edit: doesn’t really work with the swear filter.
