No lies or whooshing. What was handed over? Could it have been completed code to support team as I know some 1st line support (helpdesk) did go out to India call centres. Could it have been a handover to Indian resources (teams) working over here? A lot of testing was done here in the UK by...

JP? As in Joao Pedro? Yes, he was there, but he didn't have a great game sat behind the dug-out carrying a knock he picked up for Brazil. JPVH, on the other hand, I agree, he had a descent game. If you're calling JPVH JP for short, what initials are you giving to Joao Pedro? Pedantry...

I've done FotB speeches twice now (two different daughters) - special moments that will stick with me forever. If you only have the one daughter I hope you popped a line in you speech about this being your first and last time doing one ....

Indeed, but a tax you only pay when you earn enough to do so - thresholds vary depending on which SL plan you're on, £25k-ish. And if you don't pay the "loan" off, it gets written off anyway - again, dependent on which SL plan you're on, but by aged 65? So, my interpretation is: pay (invest in)...

Correct - IR (pre HMRC days) first outsourced to EDS in 1994 and in 2004 Capgemini (for software), along with Fujitsu (for tin) and BT (for comms) won the Aspire Contract. Then, in 2005, IR became HMRC and shortly after, some systems were then passed to Accenture for re-writes. Incorrect, the...

If the club is as organised and well-run as we all know it is, the club must surely have an index / location register to be able to pinpoint every tile - if it gets moved, the register gets updated. It'll be there somewhere - if not, that needs correcting ....

And the other long-standing favourite of yore: How many software engineers does it take to change a light bulb? NONE - its a hardware issue ....

Equiniti pay me my EDS pension (y)

This is so true. My IT career all started with writing advanced macros when Lotus 1-2-3 very first arrived on the scene (80's), within a large bank accounts department. By fluke, I found a job (company) that progressed this (and trained me) to dBase (DOS) programming, and along came Windows...

Was this a paper submission? How long ago are we talking? I always did mine electronically online. If you had an accountant submit it for you this could maybe point to additional complexities. Remember SA is only required to be completed for UK tax domiciles who have income outside of the normal...

I don't think the "don't care" means not caring if it's played or not (as your reply infers) but don't care when it's played (so long as it is).

Assistant VAR, is she any relation to our Warren?

Don't be so sure ... It would not be too difficult to combine the Electorol Roll register, where household cohabitation data is held with the HMRC CESA and DCDM systems. OSA won't allow me to elaborate but HMRC definitely have the data to be able to generate a household income figure using PAYE...

This was my experience also. 15+ years doing self assessment with almost every one resulting in a refund due, always got paid within 3 weeks of submitting SA Maybe @Herr Tubthumper had more complex or contentious tax circumstances, but 18 months sounds unusual.

Having worked for HMRC, as a contractor, or IT outsourced supplier, for many years, I can only provide my experience. One of the last projects I worked on in 2018 (I'm retired now) was the migration of Tax Credits customers to Universal Credit aka (HMRC to DWP). Highly complex stuff but I found...

We have Hive and now we are both retired we only use boost on the heating as we're too irractic (in/out bedtime/get up time) to benefit from a schedule timer. Just a tad nippy this morning so succumbed to a 30 minute boost at 20 degrees. All the rads got nice and warm but would probably benefit...

Just a thought, re the recent decline in Red Bull's performance. Do I recall correctly, a year or two back, they were found to have overspent and the FIA punishment was to be sanctioned so they were forced to spend much less on future research and car development. Are we perhaps now seeing the...

To my knowledge, only one Concorde was ever destroyed - the one that crashed in Paris. After that crash on 25th July 2000 all Concordes were grounded and in Aug 2000 their airworthiness certificates were withdrawn (I was working for CAA when this happened). To regain their airworthiness...

Windballs are the softer Kwik-Cricket rubber balls - ideal for younger soft-ball play Incredi-balls are the hard plastic training balls complete with seam stitching Which do you mean?
