I genuinely try to avoid using it out of principle, dreadful organisation

I was in very early doors with it, 2007/2008 sort of time so I’ve always just had it and used it. Wouldn’t now though if I wasn’t used to it.

Went to the petrol station this morning. Paid for fuel then went to the Costa coffee dispenser to get a drink. Selected beverage and as was being dispensed the instruction screen informed me 'Your drink is being crafted'.

Walked out coffeeless.

When Play.com turned into some kind of knockoff marketplace I switched to Amazon. Play were part of the glory days of the internet when websites looked shit and you didn't know how many awful thickos there actually were out there.

People who are now going to the paper about mould.

I don't doubt, there are some buildings which are completely rotten and should be knocked down. However, there are plenty who seem to expect others to do everything for them and not even try the basics to stop the mould or clean it up.

Far too much nowadays is expecting everybody else to do everything.

I’m convinced the stories are put out to wind people up though. Must be.

If somebody lives in rented accomodation that is so damp that it's full of mold, it is down to the landlord to sort it out.

In some aspects yes if it's a building issue.

If it's the upkeep and the tenants not giving a shit then no.
What do you think the tenants are going to do.
Get their own contractor in?
A private landlord will be reluctant to get some odd job tennant with amateur skills splashing stuff on all the carpets , kitchen units bathroom suites etc for a month's free rent.

There's plenty people can do themselves to prevent damp though.

Granted if its the building that's fucked but what's to stop a tenant going to get some damp proofing paint if they think it's an issue?

I get damp in parts, it's usually if the bathroom window has been left closed when having a shower. I bought a dehumidifier which collects a fair bit over the winter when all of the windows aren't open and used a couple of bottles of mould spray to clean it all.

It's what I mean about people who will just go to the paper rather than trying to sort anything out. Hill is probably right though, probably published just to piss people off.

We now have a problem in one of our places with mould, they've disconnected the extractor fan and won't shower with the window open, some people are beyond help.

Spray bottle with bleach cleans it right up for about 3 months until they call again.

So holding landlords to account for providing you with a habitable place to live is now ‘woke’?

I did see your follow up comments, and yes for general in house cleanliness, keeping on top of it yourself is normal… but that kid didn’t die because his parents wouldn’t get some mould and mildew remover.

Got to admit, art in general is of a particular annoyance.

The things that annoy you are likely to annoy 99.99% of the population. Photo realism is pointless. Still life is as well. The tripe server up for The Turner Prize is proof that people haven’t really got a clue. Me, abstract, Impressionism. Some artists spend hours painting/having time to contemplate what most 4 year olds screw up and throw away.

Why did you use quotes for “woke” when he didn’t use that term anywhere in his post 😂

I didn't say anything about "woke". It's not a term I use.

That's a completely different argument, if I thought something was going to make my child ill to the point of death I wouldn't leave it in the hands of somebody else and then say "but I rang them up and complained a lot".

he was never told to specifically use anti-mould paint and had not experienced the issue before.

The coroner said it was due to “lifestyle and bathing habits” and ventilation. So yes the landlord/housing association probably could have come out and made sure there were working extractor fans in every room etc.

However, who sits there and lets all that mould build up in the first place in a place their kids live? There is shit loads a tenant could do to prevent it.

'Deluxe' versions of albums (I am a streamer these days, so they always pop up on my feed).

I want to listen to 'Reckoning' by REM (38 minutes, perfect).

What I don't need is 38 minutes of a beautiful album followed by nearly an hour of filler and outtakes.

Fuck off!

This but anywhere.

Id make it a public order offence. Same as having your phone on speaker in any situation other than a group of more than 2 people gathered round it.
If I could, I'd give you lots of likes for this.

Sitting at a desk with 2 hoodies, woolie hat, jacket on and still fucking freezing.
