    The sooner we wipe out wildlife the better.

    Comment


      I live on the seventh floor of a building. Therefore: things that don't fit in lifts. Today, it's shower panels.

        Agreed. Terry Nutkins was the only reason I paid any attention to wildlife and he died years ago.

          In our last place, I got a 3-seater sofa soon after I moved in. A few years later they renovated the lift. When we moved out, we abandoned it in the hallway as we physically couldn't fit it in there after they lowered the roof. A friend of mine in the building and his wife took it down the stairs somehow. Amazing what people can do when there's a free sofa involved.

              We got them all up in the end, and I have the cuts to prove it.

                  We went to a bed fair a few years ago, they were selling off mattresses that were still sealed but had been returned. The delivery guys would find they couldn't get them through the lifts and would have no choice but to take them back(and charge some fees, of course).

                  We were smart and went for two regular mattresses and a queen size frame(which arrived flat packed). We didn't know the lift dimensions off-hand but I told the salesman I'm 185cm and don't need to duck into the lift.

                    My electrician was telling me a similar story about a block of offices he was working at about a year ago in London.

                    Designers of one floor planned the entire floor out as closed offices but with 1 inch thick glass panels for sound insulation and basically because they looked cool. The panes were too big and heavy for the lift, so the poor installers had to lug each pane (300kg per piece) up to the 5th floor. Took over a month as people kept quitting the job as it was so labour intensive.

                    Rich guy buys the floor for his business, then proceeds to gut the entire floor and re do to his tastes. The original contractors all refused to go back and take out all the glass again.

                        It's the old millennial Whoop. I feel like it started as a short 'oh' to bridge a gap and is now being used to fill whole verses.

                          Back in my day, we had thoughtful wordplay in songs such as ‘No no no no no no no no no no no no there’s no limits’.

                            That tit Banksy in general but especially his piling in a tube carriage and telling folks to go cram down one end so he could 'throw up' his art. Bell end, someone should have chinned him.

                              My AV receiver died at the start of lockdown. For some reason, and I don’t know why, I can’t bring myself to buy another. Prices seem silly for the features I want, but it irks me that the beautiful speakers I have are lay idle. Right now I think I’d forego the AV aspects for a great music biased amp with two zone amplification. Too far out the loop though!

                                John Lennon in interview with Bobby Seale, trying and failing not to come over as a total charlatan. "That's what I said in me song!" Get back in your white Rolls Royce and bugger off, you bell.
