Re: Sky
I thought the Sky installed did a decent job putting in 5 Room feeds from two dishes last year. When we had the fibre connection put in last month, the installers drilled a new hole through the wall and found the Sky chap had drilled horizontally or even downwards from the outside, meaning the holes...

Re: The idle dreaming “what next” thread.
Ste, if you're thinking of moving your X5 on around July-ish then I'd be pretty interested. Bear me in mind.

Re: The Watches Thread
In fact Jobbo is like a slightly harder Jesus, who allegedly was only able to turn water into wine. Turning a watch into wine is far more impressive, if somewhat more costly. ...wine into water is more my stock in trade, tbh. I imagine the water passed will be unpalatable, but ultimately I'm achiev...

Re: The Watches Thread
I now have one fewer watch, thanks to the For Sells thread I posted here. I loved my Black Bay but I didn't wear it so I'm turning it into wine.

Re: The Watches Thread
While I don't like that dial, it seems bonkers that Rolex would replace a dial with a different one when servicing. Surely they should only ever replace the dial with a new identical one?

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
Yes, I'm not expecting much from the conversation hence doing it as an online chat and saving a copy. Dinny, whether or not they needed consent for surveys previously, if I expressly ask them not to contact me about such things then they're going to be in blatant breach of the new regs come 25 May. ...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
FWIW I've been unsubscribing spam e-mails for the last couple of years with great success. Only current blatant failure is Mytyres (quelle surprise); when I get their spam now I try to unsubscribe and it tells me I'm already unsubscribed. So I'll be after them later this month too

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
Oi, not just retired ones! I've just had an online chat with Vodafone to make it clear I don't want to receive any more of their text message spam and surveys. Inspired by this thread, I've saved a copy of the chat so I can evidence my very clear opting out when they still send me annoying stuff aft...

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
Soft opt-in is very specific - it probably does apply to many people on your company's mailing list, Rev, but it'd be dangerous for plenty of businesses to rely on it: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/gu ... marketing/

Re: GDPR - anyone here know much about it?
If you’re after legal advice then you’ve left it too late, to be honest. Our GDPR specialist is booked up for months already. Be wary of any solicitor claiming to specialise in it who has any capacity to advise you currently.

The fact that it can happen is enough for me not to rely on luck.

Re: Been a shitty week
Sad to hear that Mark - I hadn't realised it was so sudden. I haven't lost either of my parents yet (nor even any of my numerous ex-stepmothers) but I don't want to see them getting old and incapable as my grandmother did last year. Not sure losing them this way is better. Hope you're OK.

Re: Commercial property for private use
Business rates. Occupier is responsible for these, and they apply even if you're not using the unit after a relatively short grace period. If you have a commercial lease you are generally responsible for full repair of the building - either by way of a service charge or directly responsible. And com...
Re: For Sells
That takes away the fee issue but does nothing to protect you from scamming buyers. No way I'd sell anything on eBay unless I'd be willing to write off the sale price.

Do the emergency services always scrape the bonnet that way when they cut the roof off?
Re: For Sells
That's not the only reason I wouldn't sell on eBay. Easiest is to sell to a dealer; it seems Watchfinder sell them as soon as they come into stock.
