Anyone else feel that the war will grind on and on until Russia gets Ukraine and Europe absorbs the displaced Ukrainians?

British builders, backbone of the country.
How to become a builder?
F*uck about at school and leave with no qualifications. Then buy a knackered flatbed and you suddenly become an expert in roofing, guttering, tree cutting, drains, fencing, driveway cleaning and laying.
the cars he drives are punishment enough

the old bill ain't interested. They said they know who the culprits are, but chances of a successful conviction are low, so they just give out a crime number.
TAPO do do a cloud storage option with subscription fee IIRC about 3 quid a month
the video doorbell is 'bricked' if removed and can only be 'un-bricked' from the administrator's Phone AP
I'm NOT a TAPO sales rep on commission, just suggested because it works well for me .
(the AI tracking keeps an eye on my 82yo mum with Dementia& Alzheimer's with phone notifications)
I do have mesh wifi with ethernet backhaul though ,so pretty stable ,and additional wired CCTV
plenty of other makes available though .as i'm sure you're aware of

The only thing that will deter them is the fear of being caught. That's not gonna happen, is it?
strait out on bail ,court date months away while the police /CPS decide not to do anything ,drop the case

« on: 26 November 2025, 13:05:00 »Some scrotes have done mum's place over again, and nicked her safe. Sod all of value in there, but it's gonna be at least £2k for a new front door, and then the emotional costs.
I suspect the old bill will muster up enough enthusiasm to give her a crime number.
The police really need to get a better handle on this shit. Sat with thumbs up arses only encourages it to happen more.
Have you considered fitting a couple of alarm bell boxes with flashing LED front and rear on all the time
(not an alarm system if too complicated for her)
video door bell ,TAPO one is subscription free (micro SD card) and very good

Yes, it makes sense. I've had to educate my family with regards to my advancing years and learn to say no. They get used to it, eventually.
Ive started down that road myself. It aint easy, but has to be done. Cant be the family brick forever and ever.indeed ,i'm too accommodating and take too much on and need to say no
saving friends and family time and money is costing me time and money
I've made a start though
I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though.Hope things improve and it's a speedy recovery
it's only a month till Christmas
Who's going to cook the turkey 
Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.

« on: 24 November 2025, 20:38:54 »thanks
Hope you're 'lot going on' wasn't anything serios.
Just life's 'ups n downs'
I seem to be too busy putting fires out all the time, rather than getting ahead and preventing them, though many are unavoidable/beyond my control anyway
if that makes sense
