General Discussion Area / Just been thretend what would you do.

« on: 27 October 2016, 16:14:43 »

Hi all,just got home and there was a car parked outside my house.With two people just getting in to it,an old woman and old man.They put their seat belts on and i thought they were going,but they took the seat belts off and walked to a house two doors down.I sounded my horn and the man walked to my car.I asked politely can you move the car please,as i live here and want to park my car outside my house.(it is a public highway and i know its not my parking space)But the guy said no this is a public highway, i wont move why don't you park on the other side of the road.I asked politely move the car mate,he said no i have a space outside my house and every one parks there.I admit i then shouted at him move the car now,his wife told him to move the car so he did.As i parked a man appeared at the door they were visiting,with nothing on but boxer shorts,he asked why i was shouting at a 75 year old man.I explained the situation to him,that i wanted to park there so if my car got bashed i could react quickly.He also said it a public road you don't have automatic parking rights,but then he said if you want to get bashed i will bash you.He closed the door slightly reached down and grabbed a claw hammer,a silver one with a rubber handle and raised it above his head.He then tried to get to me but the old man and woman stopped him,and pulled him back.I said listen mate you cant threaten people with a hammer,and i apologized to the old man for shouting at him they then closed the door.So what do i do call the police and get the incident logged,or leave it,or try to resolve it myself.Advice welcome Dean.

Hi all,just wanted to ask the knowledgeable folk on here.I am in privately rented accommodation,and when i got home from work yesterday.I found the drain in my back yard was blocked,and overflowing with sewerage.I called out a company to unblock it but it cost £160,is this my responsibility or my landlords.As i could not leave it as it was,and could not get in contact with the lettings agency.I just had to get it done,but this is money i cant really afford to pay out.Any advice welcome Dean

Hi to all on OOF,before i ask for professional advice.I just wanted to ask if anyone on hear has cashed in a pension early.And what might be the good and the bad of it,to cut a long story short.Me and the wife have lost our jobs again(laid off)and are struggling to find work,so to keep a roof over our heads.I was thinking about cashing my pension in its about £26000,but i have no idea what the ramifications of this would be.Just wanted to ask if any of you guys had done this,or know if its a good idea.Any input would be appreciated,Dean

Omega General Help / Heater matrix

« on: 20 November 2015, 11:43:00 »

Hi oof,a quick question.A very kind forum member said he would help me do a matrix flush today,But for love nor money he could not get the pipes to pull off.He did not want to break them as i would have been unable to move the car,from his drive.Do you think i should try some Wynn's coolant flush,or try to source some new or secondhand matrix pipes if the old ones break. Dean.
