- Comment on Will UK taxpayers get their £122m back from PPE Medpro? 2 weeks ago:
Just call it what it is fraud and a criminal organisation. Someone in the government or civil service authorised the payment for the goods after delivery. It’s not about returning the money it’s about sending a message, reclaim what you can an jail everyone involved. If this was anyone else for smaller amount of money and not linked to the government it would have happened already.

Not a doctor here, if it’s warm to touch it’s an infection, draw a line around it in pen with a time and day, then In a couple of hours do it again. If it gets bigger, starts leaking puss or fluid got see a like now.

If you stand with your legs really far apart it can help a little bit, downside is you look stupid and your legs start to hurt

It’s easy to nationalise
Step 1, be the government Step 2, create a new bill or whatever Step 3, walk in to the water companies Step 4, fuck the shareholders and give them nothing

- Comment on Why, just why? 3 months ago:
The guy at work was mentioning immigrants and hotels today, I use him as a baseline as to what the sheep in society are thinking. He’s now actually blaming the previous conservative government and labour for the mess we are in., instead of just the labour government. It’ll be interesting if I hear about this tomorrow
- Comment on What would you recommend to fix this home network issue. 3 months ago:
Like others have, I also run unifi access points, run a dedicated network cable to each one and you should be sorted, bit of work but totally worth it in the long run. I think a couple of the pro models have dual network ports so you could in theory daisy chain one from the other, never tried it.

- Comment on Electric vehicle myths: almost half of Australians wrongly believe EVs are more likely to catch fire, survey shows 3 months ago:
Well we are talking about Australia here, lots of weird shit, like a turtle that breathes though it’s butt. A cassowary, basically a velociraptor. Saltwater crocs. Animals that exist to to fuck you up. Having to extend the UV and need to 17, because saying it’s 12+ everywhere isn’t enough. I can completely understand how an Australian might thing a EV would just burst in to flames, it’s probably the least weird thing they have experienced that day
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 4 months ago:
Ok the only people that can help you are the council, noise complaints are the responsibility your local council unfortunately, given the cuts that have happened over the years this means that they are underfunded. What you need to do is get the local noise complaints number and call it every single time it happens. This is what is called a statutory noise complaint. Just Google it. At the same time you need to start a noise complaint diary,
the columns are date, start time, end time, severity*, weather, and details.
Severity is on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 been nothing and 4 been OMFG argh. Details need to include what type of noise it is and most importantly how it affects you. Headache? Lack of sleep, emotional distress? Got to town however remember that this is going to be a legal document that could get used in court eventually. Also important is to do it daily even if there is no noise. Include if you are away on holiday etc if it regularly happens on a weekend etc. The council should send you this info after the first couple of incidents
Now for the nighttime banging on the walls and screaming, if it just randomly starts in the middle of the night that sounds to me like someone is or could be having domestic abuse. I apologise in advance if this upsets people. You should contact the police and let the know that.
If any of your neighbours are affected try to get the in on it as well, it’s much more effective with multiple people.
Eventually you will be asked to place a “noise recording device” in the room that is most affected, at this point you know something is finally going to be done about, eventually…
If you have any remote possibility of moving house in the next year or so don’t go down this route as i believe that you have to declare it to the next house buyer
The problem we have in the UK is that most of the laws, procedures and police are built around people not wanting to be complete knobheads. Unfortunately the people have realised this and also realised there are no consequences for their actions

- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 5 months ago:
Is it acne or in growing hairs causing the acne? Try not shaving against the direction of growth, do across or with the growth. I use a wet alum block sometimes, helps with small cuts and irritation after, however it stings like fuck. One block will last you a life time unless you drop it. Also a face scrub can help the day after, however the wife has an oil based soft one that makes my skin worse, I have to use a more aggressive non oily one

Wasn’t aimed at you, more of an observation, fttp in the UK is usually sold as 150/150 or 900/900(ish) with some areas having the option for 2.5gbps it’s like when it first launched and ISPs had usage quotas that could be gone in 3 hours of full usage
