I'm 'stuck' with a few IT support customers from when I tried that self employed a few years ago. Invoice the customers directly, declare it as non main employer income at the end of the year (same time as any CGT on shares/dividends, not that I have many) and see a demand for basically half of...

I've seen one thing in the Birmingham Odeon - the movie Salt with Angelina Jolie, cause its been turned in to a multiplex cinema now. I had eight hours before a flight to kill, that's my excuse. Thin Lizzy / Stranglers / Duran Duran I think for me. I've at least seen a recent incarnation...

This morning, I suspect my colleagues will be deeming me as the bell cheese. There are six other people working in the entire building - usually 100+ pre-COVID 4x Liverpool fans 1 Spurs 1 Leeds The dress code is "please wear clothes", weather clearly isn't good enough for Full Kit Wanker even...

Neither side have any links to travellers, travellers keep very much to themselves "business" wise with some minor Balkan links. The Hutches (what's left of them) are the standard resident drug dealer gang in the North Strand/East Wall/Sheriff Street area of Dublin city centre - which I work...

Martin's from Cork. It'll have been a Beamish, and probably a can cause there's been no pubs open anywhere for nearly six weeks.

If you hadn't said the States I would have asked if this was Aldi. Bloody minded insistence on seeing ID if you look under 100 it seems. Bought beer in supermarkets and even a bottle of 55.5% Bourbon in a state franchised liquor store in Portland Oregon without being asked for ID. Shortly...

I'd expect generally to people who were completely smashed and weren't going to notice - not someone coming in for their first pint after work! I mostly drank lager until it started giving me severe stomach acid - UK brewed Carlsberg as sold by the slightly odd shop at the end of my road that...

Got a mixed 24 can case delivered today, primarily Kinnegar and Larkins but got some Wylam as well Would like to see more English regional beers available locally to me, but they rarely are and what is is all newer breweries. To call that Mythology is the polite way to do so. Porter was a...

Big-ish shopping centre near work has a hulking former Debenhams unit they never managed to get a proper tenant for - Forever21 for a while before they pulled out and then New Look who haven't reopened since March; *and* has a humongous Topshop/Topman as its other anchor. Debenhams themselves...

The "self-charging" term used by Toyota/Lexus just means its a hybrid that generates all its electrical power from an onboard engine. Its not an electric car. They're beginning to have all subsidies and emission zone rights taken off them in various countries too. An old LDV tarted up It is...

They were an actual monopoly for a period of time in the 70s and 80s, until Cooley started up; and then they started selling non-core brands from the mid 2000s. Bushmills first, then Tullamore Dew, then Paddy.

Probably some attempt to create a brand they can sell off; or conversely keep if they ever sell the actual distillery. Until quite recently, it was rather hard to find much reference to Jameson, Powers, Paddy (they've sold the brand but still make it), Midleton and Redbreast being from the same...

Its Bushmills, same owners. Bushmills 10 (single malt, the white/red/black 'colour' brandings are blends) can be got for buttons coming up to Christmas and is an exceptional example. No smoke, obviously. On the Scotch side of the cupboard, Talisker is my most regular I'd say.

Lembit Opik commented on being able to bill a fee to HIGNFY after he lost his seat, which suggest that, at least back then, MPs weren't paid for doing it. Expenses I'd expect. RTE are an outlier for paying nearly everyone that appears. On the private side of the fence (radio), we don't pay...

Sounds more like a bad cruise ship to me.

Generally, the merchant agreement bans minimum transactions limits but its a massive faff to complain to the merchant provider if you can even find out who it is; and really nothing is going to happen - the merchant provider makes their money from the shop not from the punter when it comes down...

Aldi's knock-off of Punk is hilarious; can't find a non social media post about it but its a rather similar can design and called Anti Establishment IPA. Same ABV% and as the receipes are all public it could be a complete clone.

I'm more concerned Trossard appears to have turned in to a vampire.

120 is going to be an SSD - fairly common size on new machines. Going back to spinning rust would be a hideous downgrade. Its also very possibly an m2 gumstick anyway, so a standard enclosure is pointless. I cope very happily with a 128GB m2 in my main laptop; with a NAS for larger files (and...
