Really? I think mute looks better, it's more ascetic.
Even bland can be a type of character

Let's agree on that. Although perhaps I always give in too easily. As they say, my Achilles deal. Learned that at school, I am a man of principals.

@David, he is pretending to be an idiot. I have to agree, with some sense of irony, that is rather easy to believe.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
That is not a true reflection on events. You would scribble nonsense in my threads and drag the subject offtopic so I merely ignored you.
Recently I have taken everyone off ignore so the cycle can start again.
This does not boil my piss or even wind me up, it is the nature of social media. I discover I am less tolerant towards spam than most.

We have done the apostrophe to death.
Can I suggest the Oxford comma, or the decline of the gerund as suitable topics for discussion?

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
My tenants are moving out (one of them has found a council house) - they're a decent lot and we've always had a very good relationship, but hey nothing lasts forever. So, one of the tenants told me ten days ago they had given notice via the lettings agent. I get nothing from the LA by way of confirmation (and I still fecking haven't).
Then a few days later one of the tenants say a few of them would like to stay on, but they can't afford the full rent any more, they want to offer me c20% less. I'm not getting into rent haggling, it's set at a reasonable level for the market and area and it's maintained well enough - but either this is a business or I just flog it. So in the kindest and least inflammatory and businesslike way I tell them no thanks. But I do offer to hold the rent at it's current rate for 18 months if that helps. So yeah, now they've gone radio silence on me.
Still nothing from the LA. My missus calls them and they tell her that "the agent dealing with our property is away". That fecking place - no process for handover or continuity of service - I'm sure they would let their head office burn down around their ears if the fire marshal happened to be on their holidays.

My LA is just as shit, I have to chase for my money every month. Clearly they get it from the tenant and just 'forget' to pass on to me.....DefTrap wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2023 3:57 pm My tenants are moving out (one of them has found a council house) - they're a decent lot and we've always had a very good relationship, but hey nothing lasts forever.

If it wasn't for the whole capital gains malarky I'd just sell it.

- X doesn't know, will get back to me
- X is out the office and will get back to me
- X has left, they are transitioning to Y, Y will get back to me
Nobody ever fecking gets back to me, they're in a constant process of firefighting where they deal with the customer shouting loudest and the rest of us can GTF
I interviewed a replacement LA, they told me each agent handles at least 100 properties, like it was some sort of validation of how good they are. ffs! I didn't transfer - (slightly) better the devil you know and all that.

Similar problem. Long term resident in passenger side mirror on the Jazz. FINALLY evicted the sod and thought I was rid of him. Now have a resident on the rear wiper that resist eviction.MrLongbeard wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 10:25 amMine has packed bags and move to the boot, the little sod thinks he's on big brother and keeps spinning is web over my reversing cameraCount Steer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 9:58 am Car wing mirror spiders. 🕷
