Who would be theoretically suing and on what grounds?

People who slip on your pavement, on the grounds of you having been (allegedly) negligent in clearing it. A few of them try it on every year, none of them succeed. Goes back to some case in the 1940s but the facts were different (it was a doorstep on the threshold of a private school IIRC).

*looks out window*

Legit snow cause it's settled and still falling.

 

[Cindres]

Jesus fuck it's really snowing now.

Donkey Show is your tag accurate? Do we have a developer amongst our ranks now?

[Mikeside]

As Musha predicted, I'm snowed in - stuck in Crowthorne, but at least there are people to go to the pub with down here!

 

[Lirlond]

Snowed in in Glasgow. It's fucking mental out there!

 

[Hot Coldman]

One-class Fridays are the worst... Snow still isn't settling either :/

Find a hill, find a tray, slide down one of them while sitting on the other!

 

[Reknoc]

Ok, it seems to be coming down reasonably fast in Nottingham now. Can't wait for my 30min wait for a 10minutely bus tonight.

 

[Mikeside]

Ugh... Having fun in adverse weather? I hate cold fingers!

Nope, I'm at my grandparents' place with my dog and a big mug of tea!


My dog, Charlie is pretty boss, by the way.

Holy shit that's rough. Take it easy out there, man.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Well, I thought I was having a bad day. Then I read zomg's posts. I'm really sorry that you had to go through that for no reason whatsoever. :/

[Chinner]

[f0rk]

Why is there a traffic cone on that statue's head.

 

[Lirlond]

Why is there a traffic cone on that statue's head.

To protect him from the french arrows of course.

You do know you put too much effort into this, right

The statue had a cone on it's head for as long as I remember until I left in 2000.

 

[Ashes]

My garden

Why the long face? that's a beautiful thing to wake up to.

 

[Chinner]

I want your dog.

It's the thought that counts.

When i was walking back from the shop I decided to take the scenic route...what a mistake it was, as I walked round the corner i knew i had made a terrible mistake.. On the other side of the road i saw a small army of school children and chavs... One of them looked directly at me with a cheeky grin, i looked back and nodded as a sign that I had accepted my fate.

As i walked down the road the tension started to build...I knew my time was up, at first it was just a few, but slowly they started homing in on me, i looked over to see them all with one in their hands, I then proceeded to dodge ever single one with two bags of shopping in my hands.. They knew they had failed, i looked back at that first guy who had looked at me... His grin gone.. He knew... They knew they had failed in their attempt to annihilate me...

Yeah. It's basically the modern day equivalent of the Ba-Bru sign.

Depends largely whether you had a legitimate expectation to it (depending on which jurisdiction you are in of course). If they put it in your account and you've spent it they'll have a hard time claiming it back and might be persuaded to write it off.

I'm a bit concerned, though, that you say they sent the letter to your old home address. Unless you moved very recently you might have breached some term-or-condition requiring you to tell them where you live, which could give them the upper hand.

Upshot is, challenge it on the grounds of their incompetence and your legitimate expectation - but if they push back you may have to give way. It's not your money after all.

I see, well I'm not officially moved in yet, just doing recon/looking for work... I was expecting emergency tax back from my old employer and i did get paid by the same time so i thought i just got more than i was expecting... I think I'll be alright, i cant afford to pay em back anyway, if it was urgent they should have phoned really, not sent a bloody letter

Fine. Tell them that is their own bloody fault, that you've spent it already (important you say that) that you had a legitimate expectation of additional money and that they've no right to claim it back.

That should do it.

I thought he operates on the godfather system (free now but he may call on you in the future for a favor).

That explains the call I got at 2am the other day telling me to meet him in a laybay with some rope, a shovel and 4 litres of ammonia...

Gonna be fuckin' awesome the day I call them all in!

But you have your daughter's wedding coming up

 

[CHEEZMO™]

I listened to load of Cheezmo's furry chipstep music yesterday. It wasn't bad.

One of these days I'm gonna link some music by a different dude. Not today tho.

 

[Little Old Man]

Nice moment before when I was building a snowman with my flatmates, and an international student came up and asked if we could take a picture of him with it.

I suppose if you haven't witnessed it firsthand it must be a huge deal.

He is going to order you kill people with beads.

Related to this. What about if we took a bucket of water and poured it onto the small patch of pavement outside our front window to watch hilarity ensue when it freezes over? Could we be sued then?

I suppose they'd have to prove you did that?

You'd make a killing on the Youtube Ad revenue alone.
