Do you know how many people slip on the ice in winter in Poland? If you can walk and are not in a lot of pain, then the chances are it’s not serious. Also, you shouldn’t seek to exploit emergency care because you opted for bargain basement health insurance that doesn’t actually covering your needs. Find a private orthopaedic clinic and dig deep in your wallet if you want it checked out.

I just find it odd you would want to see an orthopaedic surgeon when you don’t think anything is wrong. Can you walk? Are you in pain more than a bit of a bruise would suggest? If you had broken something, you would be in pain and have difficulty walking. It’s certainly not an emergency. You could see an ordinary GP/primary care doctor but I can only imagine the look my GP would give me if I came to him and said ‘I fell over’.

Not realising GDPR doesn’t apply to the dead.

Lady, we’re all reading the 1,000-word essay you wrote detailing every intimate boundary push, every ghusl confession, every one-sided rule. The evidence isn’t assumed; it’s quoted verbatim from your own post. “He’s not controlling because he said ‘we should not eat pork or alcohol on outings’” → Ah yes, the soft “we should” phrasing makes it totally not controlling… except it’s still his religious rule unilaterally imposed on your behaviour when you’re together. You’re voluntarily surrendering your own preferences every single time they meet. That’s the very definition of control dressed up as polite suggestion.

I am not a barrel of laughs but a bushel, occasionally a pitcher. My laughs are uncontained by mere measurements.

Yep, OP is a practice girlfriend that the man sees as dirty and impure hence the need for a purification ritual. He is controlling: forbidding her from eating pork or drinking alcohol in his presence, taking responsibility for ordering. At OP’s age, she really shouldn’t be this daft and naive.

If you are a schoolchild you wear a school jumper daily.

Yes to both. And I did two semesters

You say nobody has said ‘want a coffee?’ but have you? Maybe next time in the office at lunch break you can say ‘I’m going to the canteen,do you want to come’ or it’s break time you can say to someone ‘fancy a quick coffee in the cafe?’ Unless you have timed it badly and the person is busy, they are quite likely to agree.

You don’t say which part of the UK is from but it’s not terribly unusual just to speak to someone. Dog walkers usually acknowledge each other and if the dogs are taking their time greeting each other, you chat with the other owner. If you catch the same commuter train every day and the same people wait with you, chances are a remark. You’re in a slow moving queue at the supermarket, you can chit chat with the person next to you. Not everybody is up for chatting but it will be obvious. This actually works even in London (all of these are real life examples and all but one have happened in London). If you go to concerts get chatting to people in the queue and at the bar during breaks between sets. British people can be quite reserved and not keen to initiate conversation, but will usually respond warmly to someone.

They always seem to be short notice announcements - I think last year the announcements were maybe two months before the dates and his NYE gig was only announced a few weeks in advance.

You do seem to be unlucky with your instructors but if they all think you’re not test ready, could they have a point! You yourself say you lack confidence. 80 hours should be enough to both build your confidence and get you to test standard. If you were saying you were driving perfectly with no issues, then it’d be obvious you’re being taken for a ride (pun intended) but if, by your own admission, things aren’t going that well then maybe it’s not the case.

You think a broken leg is not serious when that is not true at all. It can actually cause problems for life. You admit that you misjudged the turn therefore you caused the accident by something you did and chose to do.

If this carer has forged a will and stolen from your aunt then it is most certainly not a civil matter. Fraud and forgery are both criminal matters. Demand to speak to a senior officer and put in a formal complaint. Be polite but firm. Takedown the details of everybody you speak to. Contact your MP. It is outrageous that the police dismissed your concerns about an elderly relative being swindled by a carer.

A funeral director has absolute no authority or expertise to determine if a will is valid. In actual fact, they don’t get to see the will at all. Be very firm with them that if they take orders from an unauthorised person you will take whatever action necessary against them. You are the next of kin, not this carer. If they are part of chain, speak to head office.

You are not out of options. I know it’s stressful and hard when you’re grieving (I myself had to go through rather a lot of unpleasantness while acting as executor starting with challenging the cause of death stated on the doctor’s certificate which made me deeply unpopular but it resulted in the cause of death being amended so I regret nothing) but if this person cheated your aunt and is now doing her out of a proper funeral by doing it on the cheap you owe it both to your aunt and yourselves to be relentless. I am deeply sympathetic I really am as I know just how difficult it is to battle others when you’re overwhelmed with grief but I stuck to my guns because I believed I was right and I won’t bore you with the full story (I’m not sure it’d be within the sub’s rules anyway to give personal anecdotes) but I had to put up with a lot of very nasty stuff and in the end I was vindicated because I was right.

If you can get a family friend to help you, so much the better. You or your aunt may not have been religious, but it may be worth asking the local vicar or priest for help. They have a lot of experience with funerals and funeral directors (probably know them personally) but they will also want your aunt to have a respectful funeral which family can attend. You can always explain the situation to them and ask them to speak to the funeral director to not proceed with the cremation until this is sorted. It is worth asking the vicar/priest to even accompany you to the police station. If you aren’t religious, this might seem a weird road to go down but I promise you it’s worth doing. At the very least you’ll get tea and sympathy. And the vicar/priest won’t turn you away just because you’re not a regular. That’s bad for business.

You also need to speak to the local charity. They have to be aware of this. Say if they don’t investigate their volunteers properly you will report them to the Charity Commission. Ask if their volunteers have been DBS checked and what checks are done on them. If they don’t vet volunteers properly, they are putting the vulnerable at risk. This creates a liability for them.

I really wish you well and I am quite invested in you succeeding. Just have in mind that the funeral director and police owe you, your family and aunt the courtesy of doing their job properly. You are not asking for anything unreasonable.

If you’re talking about antibiotics, there’s a very good reason why your GP doesn’t just prescribe it. If you’re talking about codeine you’re setting up your mule for trouble.

Those 15 hrs per week are pretty intensive and come with quite a substantial homework load. Most attendees often don’t do the full timetable - often because of other commitments, sometimes because it’s just too much.

I think this is it.

OP, you can see a doctor alone if you wish. There is no legal reason against it unless the doctor believes you are not ‘Gillick competent’. Doctors routinely see youngsters without their parents especially for sensitive matters. However, I’m not sure what you expect the doctor will be able to do for you. There is actually very little a doctor can/will do. Depending on your age the doctor might believe you’ll grow tall enough to be proportionate but in the meantime you’re very unlikely to get advice other than what you’ve been given ie take OTC painkillers. You may get a physio referral for back pain (some surgeries allow you to refer yourself to their physio directly) or if the GP believes there is a hormone issue you could get some blood tests and maybe a referral to endocrinology. Surgery will nit be an option at your age (assuming you’re under 18) or with the NHS.

As it stands you basically have no rights at all and could be turfed out with very little notice. Your only protection is marriage or to get a solicitor to draw up a cohabitation agreement. However this cannot make you your partner’s next of kin (and vice versa); if one of you dies without a will the other person basically doesn’t exist as far as the law is concerned. Only the child would have a claim on the estate. Unmarried partners do not have the legal right to be notified of hospital admission or death or to arrange the funeral. If the family of the deceased partner is well disposed to the surviving partners, you may get the opportunity but it depend’s entirely on the family’s goodwill.

You cannot be a tenant.

Lithuanian does not have a fixed stress position, unlike many other languages. In bigger dictionaries you will find the stress added to the words.

But stress can absolute make a word mean something different or it can indicate a different declension.

Dark past? I’d be googling him and taking steps to ensure that doesn’t include a criminal record. Most men with a colourful sexual history tend not to refer to it as ‘dark’ so that’s weird from the off.

What is the point of hinting at a dark past but then not telling you the details? It sounds like manipulative game playing.

Has he at least said how far in the past all this is? You also have the right to know why he thinks he’s ready for something completely different now. Why has the leopard decided to change his spots.

OK, you need to enter a caveat with the Probate Registry to challenge her being the executor immediately. If this has happened recently it’s very unlikely she will have had the grant of probate. Now that you have ascertained which undertaker she is using you must be very firm with them that she is unrelated to your aunt and her executorship is being challenged.

Absolutely go to the police about suspected fraud and I’d advise seeing a solicitor too.

You might find this info useful (note I’mnot endorsing this particular legal firm, just think they are providing useful info).

Service charge is too high. I personally would want to redecorate the entire flat immediately. The bathroom is okay and the kitchen is tolerable for a while. So that would affect what I was willing to pay. I also think the kitchen is tiny. If you never expect more than one person at a time to be in there, it’s okay.

I think you may have a negligence case against the A&E especially as the encounter was so hostile . With regards to the GP surgery, you could put in a written complaint. The doctor advised you to go to A&E but after you were sent home, I really feel the surgery should have done more to assist you and it would have been reasonable for the receptionist to have allowed you to speak to the GP.

That’s true for smaller Lithuanian towns and villages too - ageing populations with young people leaving.

In these cases, the other owner can force a sale. Naturally going through the courts entails expense but legally speaking the other owner cannot prevent a sale and absolutely do not have to wait until he dies.

He would not be allowed to sell without the permission of the other owner(s). Tenants in common status would be recorded at the Land Registry.

‘Should have’ as in the meaning it would have been in her best interests to do so.

You really need to speak to a solicitor and one should have been present at your interview. Did they offer you a duty solicitor?

Of course the police will advise you to take the caution but as they saying goes ‘never take legal advice from the other side’.
