  1. It's a pub on a council estate that's flouting the Covid lockdown, and a lot of dodgy characters are in , drinking and telling each other conspiracy theories about the government......... bit like a real life THL ! ? ! Cheers.
  2. On the macro level, yes, I agree; chaos theory, when a butterfly flaps its wings, etc, etc. But on the micro level, and my circumstances in particular, and not wanting to sound selfish, it won't make a damn bit of difference to my relatively frugal existence ! ? Cheers.
  3. I knew it affected limited companies, but if you are a "one man limited company" is there a threshold to be reached before paying the top rate ? Or are you still on PAYE ? If it adversely affects one man type operations, it can't be good. Ive never been self employed, so don't know the mechanics of it . Cheers.
  4. The likes of Starbucks and Facebook will have absolutely no impact on me, but I use Amazon a lot. Did the budget include something that was mooted; an on-line purchase charge, supposedly to make the "High Street" more competitive ? Cheers.
  5. Isn't the tax rise from 19% to 25% Corporation Tax ? Isnt that what most people wanted, big business paying more tax on their profits ? Wonder how it will affect the likes of Starbucks, Facebook, Amazon, etc. Cheers.
  6. Becoming "cashless" doesn't bother or affect me much, in fact the only place I can think of where I need cash is the animal feed merchants that I use. I find that the more cash I have in my wallet, the more I spend ! Cheers.
  7. Isn't that not being phased in until 2023 ? There will be about four budgets by then, now that they have a "budget" and an "autumn review", the economy could have forged ahead, or gone down the pan by then ! Anyhow, I don't think corporation tax will affect most of us ? Cheers.
  8. As much as I've studied it, at short notice, I can't see how it affects my life by one iota ! Im asking myself, "What was the point ? ". Does it affect anyone else on here ? Cheers.
  9. I don't ascribe to time limited gussets. When a gusset assumes the texture of a corduroy cap, or a suitcase handle, then it's probably time to evaluate its "wearability " and need for replacing or laundering ? Cheers.
  10. Three days ? Isn't that when you turn them inside out and wear them for another three days ? Cheers.
  11. Top tip.....leave them on , saves washing them, works with socks aswell ? Cheers.
  12. f**k it, I've got the urge to get the foot spa out from under the stairs and put a drop or two of essential oils in and do me feet while having a G & T whilst wondering where I've gone wrong ? ? Cheers.
  13. Radox should have protected status, like Brut, Old Spice, Lynx, Preperation "H", mint humbugs , you young whipper snapper ! ? ! Cheers.
  14. They can vote ??!! Be letting them in Working Men's Clubs next ! ? ! Cheers.
  15. As an old'un, I liked a relax in the bath with Radox Men's Muscle Therapy. But Radox has decided "Men's" is sexist and has rebranded it as just "Muscle Soak". The advert on the telly now has some bint in a bubble bath. Just another small step in the ongoing emasculation of men ! Well, Im boycotting all their products, f**k 'em ! Cheers.
  16. There's the little anomaly that if she's found guilty of misleading parliament and lying, the Ministerial Code advises she resigns.....but.....it's the First ministers decision to implement that advice, and, of course she IS the First Minister. My thoughts are it will be fudged, she may be admonshished for misleading parliament "by accident, not deliberately", and she will decide that isn't serious enough for her to resign. Then they will be free to try and make Scotland a "one party state", governed by Brussels. Cheers.
  17. I grew loads of runners last year and the only problem I had was birds taking the seed. Simply cured be covering them with that netting they use on building sites. I could allways find a few cheap rolls at the auctions and it lasts a long time. I had a huge crop and no problem with the established plants by pests , disease or birds. Not growing them this year as me and the missus aren't that keen on them. Will be growing more dwarf French green beans and peas instead. Cheers.
  18. Isn't racing popular in Holland ? I seem to remember seeing whippets, afghans, borzoi, etc being raced. I know people who have sent whippets and Deerhounds over there. Shame about the hunting and coursing, though. Cheers.
  19. We were all up for this trip a while back but nothing came of it. There seemed to be some disagreement about driving there or flying. I thought the flying route was far better; quicker, cheaper, more comfortable for the old 'uns like me ! ? ! I've travelled, literally, around the world to work dogs, so I'll allways be up for a short trip across to Spain once this lockdown ends. And I've had the vax, so needing a vax passport would be no problem ! ?! Cheers.
  20. Shooting and bow hunting is allowed but hunting with hounds and falcons is banned. Cheers.
  21. He was saying that other players were telling him he needed to "address" the cue ball closer, get the tip of his cue closer when "feathering", so he tried it and it's working. Cheers.
  22. Well, O'Sullivan will probably lose the final, but that last frame just shows why he is the GOAT ! And I think he snatched the £10,000 for the highest break ? Looking forward to the final session tonight ! Cheers.
  23. O'Sullivan getting spanked 4-0 by Higgins at the first break in the final ! Cheers.
  24. Astanley says you're a bigger old twat than that old f****r charts. Tomo told me ! Cheers,
