Lenny Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Getting up in to the attic to route sattelite cable out through the fascia at rear of the house, Last time I went up inside the front of house and tried to reach out through the fascia vent; Lay on my chest on the rafters and stuck my arm down trying to reach; almost got my head stuck between the plasteboard and felt roof as they narrow down to a point 😂 as result getting stuck i then got nose full of dust and fibreglass from the insulation. 😧things we do to have a tidy sattelite installation. Later decided it's better to have it at the back of the house exiting fascia on to sattelite on the chimney. This time going to put wire through fascia from outside; Then tape attic cable on to it; and pull it back out thus taking the wire out with it instead of getting my head stuck in the roof 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't like that I've had no kitchen for 9 days due to a total refit and having to create a 'mini-kitchen' in a bedroom. Tbc in things I do like. Sent from my SM-G930F 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of you should stop complaining - I'm paying £240!! Nevermind, at least the government uses our road tax payments towards keeping the roads in a good state of repair and pot-hole free... Oh wait, they don't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't like having to leave shortly for two buses and a train (four hours in total)... I hate people and, therefore, public transport - so this couldn't really get any worse for me. At least the drive home should be pleasant!

Ianb Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Four hours!! Yikes, best of luck Jamie. Just try and relax on the train if you can.... takes the stress out of worrying what everyone else is doing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 People watching can be interesting in those situations! As for the tax...my Fiesta ST costs the same to tax as your XUD! 6 weeks of that covers my Focus for a whole year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken.K Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 my 1.4 polo 06 plate costs the same as my 1.6 ford focus go figure. personally i do not see why we pay road tax, council tax and then income tax, surely council tax or income tax should cover the costs of the roads.

TomsFocus Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A fairer system would be to add it to fuel... The more fuel you use, the more you pollute the environment and damage the roads. The emissions based system is daft, I bet in a year (~10k miles) my £30 Focus puts out more CO2 than the £240 Fiesta doing 2k miles in the same time! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use the roads just as much, and the environmental cost of electricity generation is pretty massive, just tends to be forgotten in all the Hype! And as for road tolls, it would cost umpteen billions to set up & collect, all wasted money. Of course, we Dino fuel users already pay a pretty substantial fuel tax, I suspect it covers the road maintenance bill several times over! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't like that the post aura migraine headache, vertigo and nausea have entered their third day I completely lost the use of yesterday through it. This time is the longest the after effects have continued for It is complete mystery why I suddenly have become a migraine person now Everyone else who gets them, finds it started in childhood and has had them ever since. aside from a substantial head injury, it is rare thing to develop them out of the blue in adulthood. Unless it's not what it seems, and is the manifestation of another neurological issue. 2 hours ago, TomsFocus said: A fairer system would be to add it to fuel...
