You're not helping yourself here!


The other bob does pop up now and then, as does his missus. I've met them in the pub and they're very nice.


Going back to the emoticon thing, I am trying not to use them so much, especially the ";-)". The main reason I do though is because I have been caught out before saying something I meant totally as a joke, and ending up having to convince a female friend that I wasn't interested in her in "that way". Sometimes it helps to just chuck a ;-) in.

Missed this until now drinking in the Walrus..


Of course *Bob*'s a racist. I've know that for ages. Dumb cracker doesn't realise it himself though. Thinks he's tolerant. Thinks he's Chris Morris!


'Sorry that you misunderstood me' isn't an apology either. Show some humility Adolf.


This must be *Bob*'s lowest moment. Whilst I am loving it I'd rather find out if Marmora got to dine out in Tehran if you know what I mean...

Nah!


Its like saying someone has an Albanian face or whatever - she has typical Iranian features - they are a very handsome "lot" and quite distinctive


And Yes, I know the lady you are referring to

    • Hi,   I'm posting here because I am completely at a loss for how to deal with this anymore.   Is this standard for dealing with a letting agency? I'm new to living in the UK and I've been treated abhorrently by this agency from day one.  I've reached out to every organisation I can - the council, Shelter, trying to get to the property ombudsman, and the citizens advice bureau. My oven broke last night (Friday) and their solution until someone arrives (Monday) to even inspect the problem, is to buy an air fryer.    This is part of a long list of issues, including my bathtub joist that's rotted out and has broke so my bathtub is now falling into the floor, and has been that way waiting for repair for the last month. Our flat is extremely cold in the winter (due to failing the EPC) and the rising damp throughout the flat has not been addressed even though we've been reporting it consistently for the past year. All they do is send someone to install a dehumidifier for a week. Every time I need assistance from these people I have to wait on hold each step of the way, my property manager is out of office or they're on another line or I can't speak to them, if I begin an issue with one person at the organisation I get redirected to a new person (and that initial person is now unavailable), or they wait a week to call me back. It is truly unbelievable the amount of stuff I've had to live with under Foxtons. They wouldn't allow me to move into our property on the first day stated in the lease I signed (after I paid depot and first month) because they didn't do the work to make the property pass the EPC which they had multiple weeks to address. During those multiple weeks I would call them everyday asking for status updates. When the move in day arrived all they could say to me was 'we can't help you'. They didn't even do any work to resolve it in the long run, they just got a new inspector to give the flat a pass. This company has made my life hell for the past year and unfortunately I am stuck in the lease for now due to their shady letting agent practices.   If anyone can please provide me some tangible assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Reaching out to any of these agencies has not brought me any closer to a resolution and my partner and I are beyond our wits end dealing with property issues. I thought a letting agency was held to a higher standard than a private landlord and was supposed to make life easier for a tenant but it appears to be exactly the opposite.   I've attached some mold images so you can see what my flat looks like if I don't run a dehumidifier 24/7.
    • The pool and showers were a good temperature yesterday.
    • This is the right sort of response from the BBC (Friday night comedy).  Well done.  Please listen before commenting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0mfx7h4  
    • On Tuesday and Thursday this week, the pool was very cold!
