Behold the space trash dispenser.

(if you want to burn all your money on a lawyer that is) It's honestly best to cut your losses and walk away.

Unlikely. There was some intelligence behind it. He was aware the locks had been changed as I explained his in an SMS so I did what he asked explicitly. Secondly I could apologise …

Hahaha that's never a good thing :)

Totally agree. Good to hear this level of enforcement is taking place.

I certainly understand how bad it can get for landlords. I'm not excusing any bad tenants here for sure. I will at least read the synopsis for that film :)

I did. See one of my other comments.

I just asked my other half how she was feeling about it after 16 years and she laughed so clearly petty justice has a lasting effect. I think the person in question would be in vas…

It's not quite that straightforward here in the UK. Well it is but the other way. The landlord has no right to enter a property outright. The property is for exclusive enjoyment by…

Sometimes it is not about personal gain but making sure that any unfair gains are worthless.

We'll agree to disagree on that. After 22 years of putting up with marmite in the house I still don't like it ;)

Yeah that's roughly what happened here. Although I knew he was likely in there because he parked his motorbike outside. He was actually in my 2 year old daughter's bedroom when I o…

Actually it's not quite that easy. If you think anyone even gives a crap about this sort of stuff then you're mistaken. Even today. Firstly, I spoke to the police and they said the…

I thought I went too far for a few years to be honest. Now I realise that no protection whatsoever was afforded to any private tenants back then other than taking the landlord to c…

Nothing at all. Paid on time every time and basically decorated the place. Went on the market for £100/month more the moment the tenancy expired and he evicted us. The guy ran umbr…

We changed the locks originally because we caught him in the place doing an inspection unannounced. All our clothes had been gone through and the computer turned on. Funny sounding…

I did this as well after having a couple of snooping landlords. Also it's empowering. One rental I had, prior to the tenancy deposit protection scheme I had a serial con artist lan…

For now. Apparently we got a big chunk of our energy imported and there’s Brexit on so we’re going back to coal fired Teslas and eating grass and our own shoes pretty soon I reckon…

I'm playing with the PIC10F320 at the moment. Minimalism is fun. $0.50 in 1 off quantities. 6-pin SOT-23 package. 16MHz. 0.5K of program space. 64 bytes of RAM. Waveform generator.…

My issue is across the whole windows platform not just WSL. If you check large repos out on windows native it sucks too. Rather than just fixing WSL and declaring victory they shou…

I'd be interested more if they fixed the NTFS performance issues MFT contention on small files. That would have massive platform benefits. But the problem is it's hard and they alr…

It’s amazing that the state moves so quickly when someone operates against its interests.

I’ve got a fairly heavy London accent.

Siri is still half deaf and tries to send me to the chip shop when I ask it to send a message and they have a ridiculous amount of budget behind that so probably not. At the moment…

What? They still treat their enterprise customers like shit, have no opt out data collection on all their platforms now, are extending their tentacles across everything that has a …
