@omopapa,

Do you have naira?

Nothing is free, and yes we know all that about the tax brackets in Scotland.
And the statement about calling numbers re Covid, I dont think that's the correct position, I visit Scotland (Edinburgh) regularly for work and I simply don't believe Nicola will allow anything that is "free" in England and Wales to be "paid" in Scotland, especially Covid-related, she's that obsessed with drawing the distinction. Check your phone plan.

But you get "free" prescriptions, "free" 30 hours funded places for nursery school for all, "free" bus travel for young people and the elderly, etc.
Someone has to pay somewhere.
Never lose sight of that fundamental fact.

i like how you put free in quotation mark. All these "freebies" are seen a s vote buying with conservatives in Scotland. She recently gave £100 to "help" lower income households in Glasgow. Local elections are coming up.

And to add to what has been said about properties a few pages back:

Keep abreast of current and future regulations. I read today that from 2025 landlords with houses with EPC rating D or less will have to upgrade their properties to level C before they can start new tenancies.

This has potential to add significant cost to upgrade properties for landlords. The landlord usually will pass cost to tenant so potential increase in rent.

I think they are planning same for house sales too, If your house is not up to a certain EPC rating, you won't be able to sell. Don't quote me o.

Welcome to the green agenda

To add to what the property 'gurus' have posted

1. Be wary of buying flats especially leasehold flats especially in England when management companies are involved else you will just turn to cash machine for these management companies.

2. Flats again - the cladding issue has trapped a lot of property owners where lots of them are going into depression because their flats are not mortgageable and cannot be bought. In one estate we used to live years ago, flats listed are cash only buyers because a lot of banks will not offer mortgage to buyers so sellers have had to drastically reduce the asking price for these properties. If you see a flat with asking price too good to be true, look twice and look again.

3. Read your is it TP50? and read it again. If you don't understand understand a clause or anything there, call your solicitor and ask for explanation. That is what you are paying them for.

4. When you exchange contracts, you don buy house be that. You cannot pull out without penalties. Make sure you understand what you are getting into before you exchange.

5. If you don't like the terms of the contract - pull out of the deal, other opportunities will come. Better to take the hit for legal fees than to be trapped and be at the mercy of some freeholder or management company.

6. Ask questions no matter how silly, this may save your life.

oops wrong thread. This was for LITUK thread

My kids attend a Catholic school within my area and during the admission process there was never a time the issue of being a Catholic or not came up. In fact my second son turned 3 on the 1st of March and just started school on the 7th of March. Same Catholic school.

school or nursery?

I will only take gender equality seriously when they start sending women to the battlefront

a family friend who is a stark feminist and all about this gender equality thing was posting all about gender equality blablabla. I asked her what her take on the Ukraine crisis where they were allowing women and children to go pass the border and turning back men btw 16 and 60 back to fight the war. Shouldn't they turn the women also to go and fight. From then no reply.

I don't understand people coming here to day "Javascript doesn't have Linked List". Like seriously?! Which Programming language has Linked Lists as a native data structure? I learnt Data Structures and Algorithms in 2003 using Pascal as the programming language of choice at the time. And we learn Linked List, even double linked lists having two ptrs (forward and back) with the value/data "sandwiched" between. I see people here diving into this with arrays and that's a definite failure from the get go

i saw this and you came to mind

The topic here is West, Saudi cannot supply gas to the west because they do not have the pipeline laid like Russia did.

As of now, Russia is there only option or they be in big mess soon.

Some people think getting oil and gas is like going to the supermarket and picking what you want off the shelf. They forget about the investments, time, infrastructure and logistics involved to supply.

israelmao:
Russia is being overrated on Narialand by some individuals who don't know how Russia is grining and bearing it.

Not only Russia, Europe and everybody. This is as a result of this conflict. Notice how only energy companies are in the green

1stGenAmerican:
Wow. Does she use a charging station or charge at home?

Home

1stGenAmerican:
Yes, Putin Propaganda is what this is. I drive everyday but I haven’t bought gas for almost 3 years and there are many like me. Charge your car and go. The West is fine, Russia isn’t.

I was chatting to someone yesterday, his wife drives an EV, he said the cost to charge per kWh has doubled and it is cheaper to run the ICE as of right now in the UK. That is how much Gas and electricity costs have risen.

It may not affect Americans as much as Europeans in the short term.

seunny4lif:
EU will not allow it
Turkey still need Russia gas

USA imposed total ban on Iran yet Turkey is still buying Iran oil.

Those ones are the real gees playing both sides, ally's with NATO and Russia. They look after themselves. There is a UGS project going on in Turkey right now where they plan to buy and store cheap russian gas in summer and sell to Europe in the winter when prices go up.

Make EU make noise peren, they allow Syrian refugees in their millions passage to Europe.

Jackanda1:
Eastern propaganda from Putin.
The West is rich enough to afford expensive gas, i pity the poor Russians whose economy is crippling.

What are you saying? Have you heard of heat or eatin the UK? Whether to pay for gas or food. Gas prices has risen 3 or 4 times, prices are going up in April sending more people into poverty.

The west is not rich, have you looked at the amount of debt western countries incurred during covid? It is the citizens that get to pay? The only wealth that they have is what you would call paper wealth where they print money as a result of their position in the world. They just print money while 'poor' countries basically sell their resources for paper. That is why they will do everything to retain that position of power. Let that balance of power shift and their economies are in trouble. Go and ask why Gadaffi was killed.

A the end the people encouraging this war will be ok. It is the commoners that will suffer.

Pearlyfaze:
Thank you for your advise.

Actually, we recently moved into the country Edinburgh, My wife got a transfer to Newcastle.
We just got a house here and bought some properties. So we are looking for how to move with Everything.

get a man and van. or buy a van, move then sell the van. Or keep the van and start a man and van as a side job.

@bluebella,

The police cannot throw you out, if they are present it is just to keep the peace. Don't let him threaten you with police this is not Nigeria.

If you want to do him strong thing write anonymous letter to the council that your landlord is subletting his flat then he will be in trouble.

Reason why lots of people even Nigerians try not to deal with Nigerians, the dodgy ones make things difficult for the genuine ones.

Jokerman:
Didn't they conduct election?? I thought Ukraine practices democracy?

Yes it is supposed to be a democracy but then what is democracy? I think it is an illusion to give people idea that they are the ones in power and that power belongs to the people.

Those in power know themselves and they will not be threatened, you must always follow their agenda.

Jokerman:
Lol.... And why dies he think the new guy won't change??

We humans are fickle....

Because this new guy is not a new guy and he was Ukranian president in 2014. He was removed by an uprising with support from the west. Putin made noise nobody listened then he took Crimea. This guy was forcefully removed and Putin is trying to forcefully reinstate him if this news is true.

You can ask when you've got equality of arms.
In the UK today, most renters are way, way outgunned by landlords in most cities, and foreign students with families are cannon fodder when it comes to house-hunting. Take it or leave it is the order of the day.

If I was a landlord, I'd rather an existing tenant who pays when due and does not give wahala to trying to get how much extra and risk getting someone who might be a horrible tenant.

How many months notice does the Lamesley need to give the tenant if he wants to increase rent?

@op,

Ps5s are expensive everywhere as there is a shortage of chips worldwide. This has affected lots of industries around the globe.

If cost of ps5 Is your problem you are better financially than a large percentage of Nigerians already. Plus in life nobody is entitled to anything you make your own way and pay to God to bless your hustle.

Oil extended its retreat from a seven-year high after the U.S. reiterated its decision not to sanction Russian energy exports.

Futures in New York closed below $92 a barrel on Friday after falling from highs of $100 the previous day. The pullback came after the U.S. State Department said it won’t sanction Russian crude oil because that would harm U.S. consumers and not Russian President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the International Energy Agency pledged to help ensure global energy security in the midst of the crisis.

if you think they care you deceiving yourself. the Germans were forced to put the Nordstream 2 pipeline on hold, the German consumers and all of Europe is paying for this. Energy prices in the UK has tripled. they are supporting with $800m worth of weapons, who pays; the American tax payers. Who gains, the American war machine/politicians. There is no friend in international politics just interests.

heniford2:
Am just imagining if trump was president of America putin dare not try this shit World power America has been zeroed by woman and Democrat party just like APC, Next is china on Taiwan

You think?!!! Trump was ready to pull the USA out of NATO. Do you thing all the other countries would be able to stand the Russians Militarily? He would have pulled out, why does this sound dirty, and that would have probably been the end of Nato expansion to the East and there would have been no need for all this posturing.

BigBashiru:
UK and eu are no longer powerful in africa. Na beg dem dey beg africa now. Do u know what happened at the recent eu-au summit this month??

Did not follow the summit so wouldn't know. I know Mali is kicking France and Co out of it's territory.

gambojimeta:
Who cares whether they shit in their pants . There wahala

My point is that a US president trying to pull out the US from NATO is same as making way for Putin, or in simple terms, licking Putin's ass

Yes sir, i understand your point. My Point is the UK and EU are not as influential and powerful outside Europe and Africa. Remove USA from nato and they will be saying sir sir to Russia. I can bet you nine of them will impose any sanction before the US. At the end of the day, Europe will lose the most from all this Western posturing.

gambojimeta:
Winter is almost over though. Spring in 4 weeks

What would any other president have done though? Drop bombs on Russia?

We all know how Trump wanted to even pull the US out of NATO. America first policies.

If Biden doesn't come hard on Russia with Sanctions just like the UK and EU bloc are planning, then I will agree he is weak.

EU and UK can only make noise because of the US. Remove US its business as usual for the EU and the UK. They peed their pants when Trump threatened to pull US out of Nato
