02:09:16 <MrMobodies> Hello
02:09:21 <MrMobodies> Found this article
02:09:34 <MrMobodies> Now there is a heatwave and it is 30c outside going down a bit
02:09:50 <Kuschelpony> same here
02:09:50 <MrMobodies> in the shed it is EXTREMELY hot
02:10:06 <MrMobodies> but in the house it is like over 5c cooler
02:10:12 <Kuschelpony> almost +20°C rise in one day
02:10:42 <MrMobodies> wow
02:11:15 <MrMobodies> I remember in April 2013, in Hoddeson Hertfordshire outside a warehouse. When I got there in the morning there was snow everywhere
02:11:33 <MrMobodies> after dinner at 1pm returning back a heatwave started
02:11:59 <MrMobodies> which lasted less than a week
02:12:13 <MrMobodies> now I remember coming across this article
02:12:17 <MrMobodies> https://allurausa.com/blog/problems-brick-homes
02:12:17 <EEVBot> [url] Brick Houses: 3 Major Disadvantages with Brick Homes | Allura USA | allurausa.com
02:12:41 <MrMobodies> This bit: "2. Lack of Adaptability to Climate Changes - Brick is a very rigid material and therefore doesn't have very much flex or give to it. All climates experience changes in temperature"
02:13:28 <MrMobodies> During large storms in America, and the houses get BLOWN down except for some churches/chapels and brick buildings where a roof might have come off
02:13:47 <MrMobodies> and they are saying brick lacks adaptibility to climate change...
02:14:30 <MrMobodies> there's an old 1800 century pub down the road... Yes, there are cracks here and there but it hasn't fallen down yet or any signs.
02:14:33 <Kuschelpony> yesterday was the last day of sunny but cool weather, remaing fromthe may peeriod called "Eisheiligen" in germany, today its full summer with 30 outside
02:15:34 <MrMobodies> I like Sunny and cool and wind too and dry
02:16:47 <MrMobodies> rather than, sunny, hot, high humidity, no wind/airflow with grass and pig poo from the fields dominating the air.
02:17:12 <MrMobodies> and those midgetdy corn fly things that get in your hair
02:20:59 <MrMobodies> the barman wanted to take me out on Friday to Peterborough, to a place called Angels, a strip club and some back alley bar somewhere. I said that'd cost a lot and he said it's all on me that'd he'd pay for it and he was looking all excited
02:21:04 <MrMobodies> I thought what a WASTE of money
02:21:35 <MrMobodies> he said, you pay to look at boobies, but you don't touch the ladies, they touch you.
02:21:53 <MrMobodies> So they can touch people and get paid for it
02:22:27 <MrMobodies> I never known something so restrictive and one way. Anyway I don't like touch people or them touching me.
02:24:01 <MrMobodies> Unfortunately during the dicos dances at the pub they expect holding hands or they seem to go get offended.
02:29:07 <steve30> but if you don't pay, you don't get touched :)
03:45:17 <electrohead> lol
03:52:47 <steve30> I was thinking about electrohead this afternoon when I walked past a young lady with noticeably large boobs :p
03:53:05 <electrohead> Oh thank you lmao

08:40:39 <MrMobodies> Put off looking at houses, something I use to like to do
08:40:59 <MrMobodies> I mean in the state agents in relations to the area
08:41:27 <MrMobodies> thy OVERSTRETCH the image to make the rooms look wider
08:42:25 <MrMobodies> oversized doors, and things that don't look roundish until I copy it into Irfanview and resize the width by 1/3 or so then it looks about rigjt
08:43:14 <MrMobodies> damn right disrespectful and waste of time to the potential buyers who turn up and get deceived by size.

09:15:06 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/X7BgLNM3/Overstretched-2.jpg
09:15:22 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/6QtLBd8B/Overstretched-3.jpg
09:15:38 <MrMobodies> The outside looks more relative to me but indoors they seem overstretched
09:15:53 <MrMobodies> which gave that last one away
09:16:06 <MrMobodies> Isn't that just deceptive
09:17:01 <MrMobodies> when I look at a round object suc as a clock should look round, not rectangular.
09:18:30 <MrMobodies> the second picture in comparison would look like there's an extra meter space with it stretched out
09:20:21 <MrMobodies> I think it maybe classed as misrepresentation.
09:21:38 <MrMobodies> this scam seems to be going 10 years ago and getting worse

09:23:00 <MrMobodies> another thing I notice they don't mention measurements in the floorplan like that one
11:46:45 <MrMobodies> Brought some A5 lamintes from Lidl to find out they are sh*t
11:47:06 <MrMobodies> I spend more time trying to allign the paper
11:47:43 <MrMobodies> then the paper moves about FREELY by just closing the cover and on the slightest movement

13:17:44 <EEVBot> [url] Switching to a Combi Boiler? Your Complete Guide | British Gas | www.britishgas.co.uk
13:18:26 <MrMobodies> No water security or pressure flow guaranteed by gravity fed tank
13:19:58 <MrMobodies> Using the hot water say to wash up or run a bath apparently cuts heating to the central heating I hear
13:20:34 <MrMobodies> "A combi boiler conversion can be a smart move for your wallet" rubbish
13:20:49 <MrMobodies> if the mains pressure isn't there
13:25:48 <MrMobodies> Just found this and absolutely shocked

13:26:25 <MrMobodies> This bit: 0:00 "It's not appropriate to be doing any any proper decision making whilst intoxicated in any way. It's not right. "
13:27:34 <MrMobodies> I never knew they were DRUNK, whilst working. Caught doing that anywhere else and they get the sack. I wonder if they drive too whilst drunk.
13:30:17 <MrMobodies> Maybe they didn't do it many years or to an extent for it to be a problem but found the rules are lax where they can do that and get away with it.
