A friend (I swear) had it done for their pits. Same as you, no smell just sweat and they said it was the best thing they ever did and couldn't believe they waited so long.
Was very reasonable too and they only bother doing it once a year.

I tried some sort of specialised deo that has a long name, it's supposed to be applied every 2 or 3 months or something. I used it once and have been golden since.

Every few months... I assume you use other stuff in between applications!

48 hour deodorants. What the hell is the idea behind 48 hour deodorants? Do the manufacturers really think that people only wash every 2 days? Most of the mens deodorants are 48 hour ones that leave horrible marks under the arms of my husbands clothes:mad:

*New smaller bottle with twice the power that lasts as long!*

No it doesn't, it sprays the same amount, but there's less in the bottle so it wastes faster!!!!!

Going to catch hell for this one- the commentary on the abortion issue and the need for a legal amendment. Really annoying reading all the "Women are treated as incubators" comments by people all over social media.

Well this camels straw has snapped and they are going to pay for years of this sh*t in ways they can't even begin to imagine and I am going to thoroughly enjoy myself destroying the pair of them.

You've got my sympathies, Pumpkin. Can I just give one teeny bit of advice and feel free to totally ignore it; don't get into the retaliation game. We went through four years of sheer hell with selfish cnut neighbours and a landlord who couldn't care less. He was all promises but did absolutely nothing about his tenants. We tried everything from reasonable talks, letters, local politicians, local council and the guards. Not one of them helped.

The best advice we got during all of it was not to engage in retaliation, even though you are being harassed and provoked in your own home. One of the guards said he'd seen this a few times where scum made life unbearable for neighbours and the neighbours then retaliated. The original harassing scum went and got an anti-social behaviour order AGAINST the poor harassed neighbour. I don't know how true this is but still, we took it on board. In our view, it must've been something extreme because we tried, no, we begged the guards to issue a behaviour warning (a step down from an ASBO) against cnut-face & co, but all to no avail (actually, it was pretty appalling how they treated us, tbh. Lost files, lost statements, no record of complaints or phone calls, missed arranged meetings, never called back after saying they would, and we lost count of how many times we heard "there's nothing we can do"). We then lodged a third party complaint to PRTB and really didn't expect much from it.

When we eventually got a hearing at PRTB, cnut-faces next-door had absolutely nothing on us. Nothing. They couldn't even think of one instance where anything was said or done. The landlord dropped himself right in it a few times and cnut-face's performance was a perfect example of their general cnut-ish behaviour - didn't fool the adjudicator for a second. Because we kept the cool, we won on all grounds and it cost the landlord a four figure sum. A few months after that, the cnut family vacated the premises.

You might not be so lucky if the thugs next to you are home-owners and not tenants. Either way, you have my sincere sympathies. I know just how horrendous it is to live next to these cretins. Even though it's pretty much all quiet now, when we can afford it, we're selling up and getting a detached. I don't care even if it's a smaller house. We could not go through that hell again and I feel so bad for anyone else who is experiencing it.

Fairly trivial:

Mixer taps that don't really mix the water...they just eject the hot and cold kind of side by side and I can feel hot and cold rather than a middle temperature.

I've been through all the agencies that you did and have had 7 years of this sh*t. Being a decent human being hasn't worked. Now I'm going to do whatever it takes, within the law, to put a stop to it. There is no reasoning with these people, none at all. Things had settled for a good while but I can see it steadily sliding back to the bad old days. He owns the house so nothing we can do regards landlords.

I'm going to embrace my inner juvenile cnut.

That's right. Just man - up and wash yourself mate and ignore the fact that it's freezing or scalding.

In that case - have at it and enjoy unleashing the juvenile cnut. :pac: One particular thing I SO wanted to do was to record the fcukers having one of their smash-everything-in-sight rows and play it back to them, all weekend, at full volume, while we headed away for a nice, quiet weekend elsewhere.

Kind of seems more than "trivial"..... sounds like it may involve some sort of vigilante justice, sweet justice

I thought there was the same amount in the bottle because it was just compressed more so the same amount fitted in less space?*

I am not a physicist so this could be very wrong :P

No that's what they tell you!!

In actual fact they use smaller bottles, charge you the same price and make all the profit while laughing at the stupidity of all the fcukers who actually fall for it.
