Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I remember seeing a live one in a fish tank in Thessaloniki. Underwhelmed tbh. Obviously this isnt for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to end up having to care for an axelrose. It could be expensive and messy. Certainly as pets go, that one has one of the higher heroin budget requirements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 We bought our Fireangel alarms on Amazon Prime day (13 Oct) last year - saved us £85 on normal Amazon prices (4 detectors, 1 CO monitor & 1 Heat Alarm for £215) They seem reasonably good - 10 year battery life & all still interconnected whe we remember to test them. Good of nippy to keep us all safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good of nippy to keep us all safe. F*ck all to do with any new laws that aren't even in force yet, m9. We chose to upgrade our fire alarm system as part of a larger project. The current legislation requires interlinked fire alarms in new builds or when you do certain types of building work in your house. It's even stricter in England, Wales & the Failed Statelet, where these alarms have to be hardwired with battery backup. I blame that David Cameron for his excessive nanny state over-complications. If we can ignore UTGTCP's politicing, who could object to better fire safety standards after Grenfell, Grimbo & similar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Are electric shock collars for dogs legal in the UK and if so why? It's as clear an example of animal abuse you'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably a similar provision in England but I can't be arsed looking for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hard wired with battery backup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I went to my car this morning to see that for the second time some wee fucking arsehole has decided to run their key along my paint work. This one is much worse than the previous one and it's on the same side, so I don't know if it's the same guy or whether folk have seen the key mark and thought it was funny so decided to add another one which was much worse. I presume it's not legal for me to set up a camera on a public street, identify whatever wee p***k thinks this is funny then burn down his house with his entire family still inside? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
