  1. For that money i'd be expecting the full private experience with multiple pornstars for a month.
  2. My mate spent about £25k on credit cards for strippers and paid them to just talk to him, just a normal conversation, not talking dirty or anything. He was having quite a serious mental health episode though.
  3. A sleepy hungry happy bear? Hey! Come and hug me.
  4. I remember seeing that when it came out but had completely forgotten what it was called. Lots wrong with it but the bits that worked really stuck with me.
  5. #Flagle #39 6/6 https://www.flagle.io
  6. Apr 1, 2022 1 | Avg. Guesses: 9 = 9 #globle
  7. #Worldle #70 3/6 (100%) https://worldle.teuteuf.fr
  8. If we buy all St Mirren's best players we should be able to beat them in the race for seventh next season.
  9. I suppose that's technically true but by accepting a fixed penalty notice instead of appealing it are you not agreeing that you broke the law and have a liability to that penalty? I don't know, just asking.
  10. The government clearly didn't do a good job and their motivation for that is in some doubt. But you are suggesting that a businessesman with a reputation for sharp practice who has charged three times what he agreed and still not delivered anything bears no responsibility? I'd love to see Left Back's version of Watchdog. "This builder just got given the life savings of an old lady for a drive he'll never install. Tonight Watchdog investigates why she's such a stupid cow."
  11. I haven't been following this closely (it hasn't made the news down here) but have looked into it recently. Classic public procurement snafu due to poor specs and political motivation. Anyone trusting a Rangersy "businessman" with millions of pounds will lose millions of pounds. If the govt had asked me for a character reference they could have saved themselves a fortune.
  12. Guy fawkes has a night so i see no reason we can't set aside one night to burn Thatcher effigies.
  13. Someone impaled the head of an alfie bear on the railings outside my work. Looked pretty sinister.
  14. Pretty sure it's income tax the recipients pay after 75, not iht. And utd are dundee's wee team
  15. Being limited to putting £40k in any given year in the pot (or an average of £20k to £25k a year over a working life) is really not going to affect most people. And i'm pretty sure it escapes inheritance tax whatever age you die at. It's an excellent tax planning tool for the fairly wealthy, but won't shelter billions. That's what non dom status and crown dependencies are for.
  16. As funny as a hibs meltdown would be, i personally only care about their results to the extent that they affect our bid for the top six. If Hibs v utd draw then the bigger clubs win each of their respective city derbies that would get us top six (i think), if we win both our games.
  17. Doh! Was going on available points and completely forgot about the split What a fucking moron Eta-they can still catch any given team up to utd though. Just can't finish fourth.
  18. £500-£1,000 Or this, currently out of stock at home bargains
  19. Dundee could still catch any team up to Utd. I think they could still hypothetically finish fourth, but i've not given it too much thought.
  20. Had a look on Jamie's website there. Jamie's succeeded in getting the travellers moved on. Tory c**t, whatever the pronoun.
  21. Our maths teaching in the UK is well behind other countries. I think Indian schools teach trigonometry to ten year olds. I went to the first lecture for an advanced econometrics module at university. Me and my (Scottish) friend were lost after about three minutes and sat there looking perplexed while a load of greek and chinese students nodded along and followed proper mad scientist type equations and asked intelligent questions. I think only one brit stayed in that class.
  22. If the triple lock is reinstated and kept then todays pensioners will benefit a bit but future pensioners will benefit even more. It's a bit short sighted to argue for its removal because some pensioners have more assets than most young people. I agree that the putting the fiscal burden on working people is unfair. But there are a huge number of pensioners whose only income is the state pension. Putting more of them in poverty won't help the people on lower benefits or in low paid work. It would also mean that those people have poverty to look forward to in retirement. Raising benefits and wages would help. Reducing taxes on earned income and taxing capital gains, unearned income and wealth is a much better answer than fighting for a bigger share of the crumbs. Here's a pension inequality for you: if you die with unused pension funds, they are outside of inheritance tax. So you can accumulate wealth tax free and pass it on tax free so long as you have enough money to do that. If you're properly rich you can live off your iht estate and not touch your pension. Let's get that money in the system before condemning ourselves to poverty out of envy.
