A pattern of rent payments clearly supports your side of the story. If you have emails/texts talking about rent or paying you back then they support your case even more. It's up to you - consider it money well spent in getting rid, or put everyone through the grinder to get money via courts...

Bradford factor is primarily to flag up problems with unplanned absences. It's a really crude tool and works OK as long as those using it treat it as an indicator and engage their brains. If the absence had suitable notice given, it shouldn't be counted. Some places treat any leave with less...

Assuming it is England or Wales, you cannot apply for probate and there won't be an executor. Those are only relevant where there is a will. Someone (usually one of the beneficiaries) will apply for Letters of Administration and become an administrator. If the deceased had four siblings as...

You use your towel like a parachute to slow your speed relative to the ground. You do carry a towel don't you?

I fly regularly with a 16 Ah powerbank and nobody has ever bothered to look at it.

Getting excuses in before the results? If remain win, it is because most votes were cast for remain. Reasons and motivations are completely irrelevant. But I voted weeks ago (remain). So if my vote was because of this murder but the murder hadn't happened yet then..... inception brainsplode!

Not really. Attendance is legally required, to support the operation of our government. Legal advice etc can be useful because the committee benefits from parliamentary privilege but Mr Ashley doesn't. They will ask probing questions with answers that could presumably be used as a basis for...

Commons committee are one of the best features about the commons. They are actually where most of the work happens, not the debating chamber. Committees are where bills get scrutinised and the real world impact of legislation gets examined. In particular, the commons committees are generally...

The Police as an institution probably do deserve what they get. That doesn't mean that many officers on the ground didn't do a pretty good job at the time given the instructions and information on the day. It seems to have been primarily a command and control failure, down to key senior...

You understand wrong in so many ways - but primarily in blaming the victims. Fortunately, the jury disagreed with you.

It's when baby decides to take a pee at just the wrong moment while changing its nappy. Yours sounds a bit like "I'm having a baby, everyone give me loads of pressies"

Given that poverty is usually defined with respect to the median income (aka relative poverty) then you can also lift people out of poverty by bringing high salaries down.

Because it is still a development area and there are issues with ponying up the cash required... It isn't there yet, but the principle is sound. That depends what you mean by soon. I think we will see these systems deployed within a couple of years, but at high value targets for...

You can pick it up on radar, if you have the right one. Serious interest in micro-drone detecting radar from a number of governments both for counter-terrorism and for counter-eijit use. Even a small plastic toy has an appreciable radar return at short range.

Tenants provide a security deposit against damage. That needs to be protected within IIRC 30 days of the start of the tenancy AND certain info called the prescribed information has to be given to the tenant (it basically tells them where the deposit is secured). If you don't secure the...

Is it any wonder that both civil and military are very keen on research to both detect and disable small drones? Some of the military ones are quite small and civil enforcement has to deal with the problem of people who like to fly them in the approach/departure lanes of major airports. Even...

A landlord cannot unilaterally terminate a tenancy. It also isn't your house for the duration of the tenancy (you have assigned a number of your rights as owner to the tenant, so you don't have those rights until the tenancy ends). The notice you have served is "Intent to seek possession"...

Universities seem to have become excessively PC in some attempt to misguidedly create a utopia where nobody ever gets offended. At one of our local universities, a student officer has had a complaint made against them for raising their arms in the air and shaking their head...

Contrary to common belief, nobody has a right not to be offended. As Stephen Fry so eloquently put it "So <colourful word> what"

This is Ryanair's MO. They've done it before. They deny any and all responsibility, ignore the law and then cough up (often less than) the bare minimum after the fact. You are allowed to spend your own money and reclaim it later, Ryanair rely on many passengers not doing that. A night on an...
