I was driving out of the car park of a local shopping centre when I had to practically stop as, what I assume to be, a father and son casually walked in front of me, without any effort to move out of my way. The adult did not look behind at any stage. The lack of courtesy, not to mention the potential danger he was putting them in, was breath-taking.

Don't worry, it doesn't have to be you that knocks them down, but they'll learn soon enough.

Side hustle is the new buzzword of the minute. It seems like they have used Sopranos type language to try to make it sound cool. Having to work an extra job just to make ends meet is not cool in any way shape or form.

Get them out of your account asap.
Take it back by force and change your password to something else.

Poiliticians don't do anything for us. They just make excuses for the status quo while pretending to be on our side.
Like the obscene amount of money the govt is making from the taxes on petrol and diesel, whenever a reporter asks them where exactly it is all going to they quickly change the subject.

Public sector pay is due to be increased which is great but that will result in TDs getting an extra 6,500 a year.. basically govt are negotiating with themselves for a pay increase

Landlord's agent is out of his fucking mind if he thinks inspections every 2 weeks is reasonable! No. No. And also no.

Definitely. RTB recommends once every 3 months is reasonable (which tbh feels like too much too to me) so I'll be making it very clear that that's the absolute maximum I'll agree to. Need to find my lease and see what it says too.

I absolutely will be. Lease says at least every 2 months, and tbh I've had more inspections in the last month, than in the 12 years I'm here. There will be a polite but firm email on Monday.

Thankfully not the case, I'm on RAS, they wouldn't get me out easily. It's a new agent and I think they're trying to make their mark.

Very true. I hadn't considered that. They were in a right hurry too, had loads of other apartments to go to, so could be charging for each!

Have been messed around a fair bit over the years, but it's not in my nature to be uncooperative, I'm allergic to conflict
The current plan is to email them tomorrow to ask for what specifically they want sorted, and I'll plan/argue/whatever accordingly, when I have it in writing.

I am so sorry for your bother, nothing, truly. Frequent inspections are a nightmare to deal with, I know all too well. HUGS to you, I hope it settles down for you soon and all goes well!
My very small rant today is WAITING... Seems we are kept waiting for everything and everyone these days. I spend an inordinate amount of time in holding patterns, even for the simple things.
...also vague "resolutions", leaving you at loose ends after the waiting.

I read that as dying ☺ I need new glasses
Dying would be preferable, it would stop the general noise annoyances, but might become a nose annoyance!
