Would be very willing to do this but I assume the eBay team who deal with these things can and will read the messages between us that say it was delivered right? Having used eBay for almost 20 years now and this being my first cunt seller I do count myself lucky that I don't know how likely I am to be caught out!

Not bike related but I'm conscious that I'm a petty human and the hive mind might thoughts.

We bought a sofa from a private seller, contacted them before purchase to check if sending an AnyVan would be ok to which they said yes. Everything was arranged and the day before collection was due they messaged to say their partner had taken both sets of keys to their old house, where the sofa is, with them on a work trip and they couldn't get access, so we would have to reschedule.

Due to it being short notice I couldn't do this via the website and after speaking to a Customer Services representative was able to move the collection to their new preferred day for only a 50% surcharge rather than having to make an entirely new booking.

Collection day comes round and I get a call from the driver saying that the seller has told him there is nobody there to help load despite telling me there would be. The driver says he can get someone to help but they'll need paying for their time obviously. This turns out to be £50.

The sofa arrives and it should been split in to three pieces but it's only in two and as a result the latches that hold it together when in use to stop the seats separating are bent - we bend them back. However the headrests have been taken off and there's random box of nuts and bolts that has both too many and not enough. One headrest has no bolts at all included and a nice little hole cut out of the bottom of it. The headrests are supposed to be bolted to the frame inside and the corner section has a zip on the underside to allow access but there is literally no way inside the other pieces without damaging them, so how they managed this is beyond me. The only way to reattach them now is to unstaple the fabric underneath the sofa ed piece nad no idea what to do about the sofabed section.

They've stopped responding to my messages as they clearly don't care, and with hindsight I should have just written it off at the first redflag, but I didn't.

This fair grounds for a dispute right? Should I call Ebay customer services first given the circumstances?

Fully expect to be corrected but two things are the bottle bosses and the frame number on the BB shell (I think they're usually on the driveside dropout.)

Forum WBV (sorry I don't actually who you are but know the bike) on Old Kent Road this morning, ta for obliging the request!

If you put the tracking number in to their website it should give you option for redelivery, a timed slot might be an option in the extra costs section, failing that change the delivery date to tomorrow and keep fingers crossed that it'll be earlier on the route

Since you mentioned it I've been hoping you'd share updates on this job. Please keep them coming!

Aye, it's me with boxes in Catford. Send a DM if you'd like any of them otherwise they're being broken down to recycle.

We moved a couple of weeks ago and in the midst of organizing I missed cancelling the standing order for the service charge to Lambeth. I immediately notified them with all the details asking if they would return the payment to which I received the following:

I am sorry to hear this, we are unable to provide you with any information on the account since you are have moved out of the property. This is because of data protection, you could however get the current leaseholder to contact us for a refund to be given to you. Alternatively, you could let them reimburse you with the amount and they keep it on the account since it is gone to clear the service charge invoice.

I know it hasn't gone to clear the service charge invoice as the account is £475 in credit. I also know it's my mistake so before I respond curtly does this count as retaining wrongful credit as under the Theft Act 1968 and so Lambeth are legally obliged(?) to return the payment?

That's not a joke though. It's a oblique threat to anyone that doesn't speak the Queen's English.

Which is a joke in so much as the rife grammatical errors in that racist diatribe mean that the author is unable to complete the task they're setting out themselves.

We're completing this week and have been using Dan Man at Peter Brown & Co in Barnet. For what has been a tricky process (buyer's solicitor changed twice, moving of goalposts, all the fun) he's been really solid.

One of the lesser respected deities?

Yes that'll do it. I know it seems very obvious but just check the PSU in your PC has a lead with two 4-pin heads spare to run this from.

Edit:
It's also worth checking the power demands as at full draw the card may want more than the molex is rated to supply. I don't know exactly what molex is rated to but IIRC PCIE 6-pin is about 75w, and that card at max is 150W, so as long as it is safe for the other 75W it's all good.

I think that's the thing though. All the evidence a lot of people need is the aforementioned negative press coverage from sources that they already identify with or believe. Most people (myself included) don't fact check enough of what we read, particularly if it comes from a reputable source or leads us to confirmation bias.

Since you've gone back to the Murray book and you've taken the time to respond to every comment other than this would you be so kind as to explain your position regarding JWestland's point please?

Then ask yourself if people like Murray stand up for immigrants and
Muslims who fight for liberal values.

If all they do is push the line of "but immigration us destroying
liberal values" but say f all about windrush and the increased hate
crime after Brexit, cha...

There is no 'reverse' racism. There is no systemic oppression of white people, even more so white males.

So we're clear:

I've got a G603 mouse and a G613 keyboard. Due to our current living arrangement the PC is situated behind TV in the livingroom about 2.5m from the sofa. At this distance and with whatever obstruction the TV is causing the mouse has been flawless, the keyboard drops connection for about 0.5-1 second occasionally (which is annoying) however moving it only about 0.5m closer (sitting on the edge of the sofa) completely removes this and I'd never had it happen when it was set up on desk.

Battery life is really very solid, I've owned both for almost a year and have only had to change out the originally supplied ones . I'm only using Ikea Ladda rechargables as the replacements and the mouse shows full bars (I tend to leave it on on 'Endurance') and the keyboard half bars after probably 4 months of use.

The reason everyone is asking for a price is because of the Classified rule #6

No fishing expeditions. You are either selling something or you're
not. Either it's in the classifieds or it's deleted.

If you're unsure how much to ask for it then there's a whole thread for that:

My understanding of how they work, and I expect someone will come along to correct this is that you'll get access as the website doesn't know you're not receiving the ads. The pihole acts a bit like a DNS filter and sends a fake address to the ad server so the ad doesn't even get downloaded (a blackhole for ads if you will), however the request for the ad still occurs.

This is different to how an adblocker works which would download all the ads locally but just not display them. I think a lot of websites that won't load as a result of running an adblocker use javascript to identify it. Websites that have a 'please donate' type thing where an ad would have been have probably coded this to always load under the ad that would be shown.

Can't help on the router but Linus did a very straightforward video on setting up a pihole.

So apropos Dulwich College then

Casual bump for the long-limbed person searching for a hhrb project.

Can also attest to it being really fun to ride.

I have a small amount in there and previously had some in Funding Circle (business loans) also.

Ratesetter the risk involved is negligible has differing interest rates based on the length of investment. Funding Circle had significantly better returns (after losses) but I could have just been lucky (this was before they changed their loan system).
