  1. You should, if you didn't pay tax at source. What is infuriating though, is that you get taxed on what you earn, taxed on what you save and taxed on what you spend. And, for all of this, I genuinely struggle to see anything of equivalent value that I get for it (I pay for most services I receive, from bins to roads and opt out of many others - e.g. dental. I don't mind much of it going to others less able but I can't even see that these days). It is a complete and utter scam - any party that wants to sweep to a landslide victory at the next election just have to promise transparency on government spending and where your taxation goes and they'd have the HoC to themselves.
  2. You might want to explain to her that's not why it's called a blow job
  3. Who invited Mel Morris into this chat?
  4. I've got a Chevrolet Volt - gives me about 35 miles of electric charge and then a petrol engine. Run it locally, largely, and ten years on two points to note: - Currently tracking at about 96mpg, we use it for long trips but happily use only electric on most runs - Ten years / 80k miles on I see very little fall off in the range or charging time. It might drop off to nothing one day soon but seen less to nothing worth writing home about to date Definitely thinking about the BYD Atto for our next car, they get a bit beaten up for having a limited distributor network but if you live near one that becomes a moot point. I'm not too deflected by YouTube clickbait warriors, or about the reports that Tesla Cybertrucks are being withdrawn because the accelerator is sticking on many.
  5. Last episode, even the last five minutes, are excellent. Some series completely screw up the finale and leave you feeling you've been a bit cheated, Ashes To Ashes is one that didn't.
  6. Don't put yourself down my friend, it's just a couple of hours in the cinema - the world won't miss you.....
  7. I thought Haney was going to be one for the ages. He still might, one defeat isn't a career ender, but Garcia did something special imho.
  8. Your just getting old mate - Harry Maguire had played for England before I'd ever heard of him. Back in 1990 I was losing sleep over whether or not Andy Sinton was the twenty third pick in the squad. Happens to most of us I am afraid.
  9. To the point on fixture congestion - didn't seem to impact the pre-season trip to the States did it? Not sure Borehamwood or Colchester got an invite.
  10. Ah, the romance of the cup. So poignant until a ball is kicked and then - 99% of the time - it just becomes a game between two teams, one of which is clearly better than the other. Anyone remember Milwall getting to the final? Portsmouth? Fulham? Nope - because we think that Wimbledon, Wigan and Sunderland are how it always is even though out of >50 finals in my lifetime only 2-3 have been anywhere near like this. Same logic goes for all the games in prior rounds - for every Hereford, Sutton or Maidstone there is an endless supply of 3-0 and 4-1 boreathons. And the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, Disneyland is just there to separate you from your money, Easter Bunny is just marketing and Valentines Day only benefits florists. Thank you!
  11. Daytime telly ones that offer you chance to get cremated or write your will. But the absolute worst are the charity ones, "just £1000 a month could give Charlie the hamster the new wheel he needs for his cage". I don't challenge the cause, it's the sugary tug at my (all too absent) heart strings that I find just so hackneyed and repetitive. Someone, somewhere must be able to do a charity ad that isn't backed by violins?
  12. Watched the second half on Bolton TV - I have a friend who subscribes 😀 - tbh it was a bit like the Alamo at times, amazing how much pressure Bolton had but, besides the much shared chest in - didn't really create much in the way of chances. The commentator was getting a little bit tetchy with it all, diddums!
  13. We are a generous bunch us Ramkind, such generosity almost bought a tear to my eye.
