Were handcuffs on the birthday wish list?

Until one jump didn’t go as planned and I hit the deck and broke my arm.

Health and safety wasn’t as important in the 1980’s but it was more fun.

I fell off the back of a lorry as a child. OK slightly more too it, 2 flatbed artic trailers in a fish processing company car park in Sandend parked next to each other and all the kids from the camp site were climbing them and jumping from one to the other, as was I.

We talking 24 doors, a full month or big guns 365 days?

Although if it was the last one and there was a chocolate behind each door I might need to remortgage the house.

Where is Miriam Magolyes when you need her 😳

I used outwith in Maidenhead once and colleagues just looked my like I was the daft one.

We have blue skies when you get here.

How would that work, it would need to government to pay cash out, rather than just not tax it? Fear that it ends up being more complicated and worth less overall.

Complicating the tax system should be avoided if possible as it’ll likely cost more.

My 16 year old daughter spent a week of work experience at Pheonix in Edinburgh in the summer. Needless to say when she started her part time job in Tesco a few weeks later she signed up to the highest contribution they would match.

Surely the curse is the lack of blue cable ties.

Could it be the The β€œLifetime Gifts Tax” on Transfers Over Β£1 Million to Political Parties?

Some googling suggests that’s never been paid, but seems unlikely.

Why the flurry of late docs in last few days?

I’ve often wondered how long a few missing half hours would stop a bill for if you didn’t give them a nudge.

Should it have been paid, no, probably not. Does the uk government own 39% of NatWest? Also no.

The UK government has sold all the shares it had and owns zero percent of NatWest.

17 or so minutes in wifey shouted β€œthere’s my old flat”.

One day not long after I moved in we saw at least 17 paddy wagons outside the window raiding the high flats in β€˜The Calders’ they were walking past on that scene.

We moved not long after.

We have a glimmer of sunshine up here just now. It’ll be fine when you pop out the other side of the waterfall.

Is it bad that my first thoughts here are how horrific that studio wiring looks?

I’ll admit that under the surface I’ve been responsible for a rats nest before, but not on the surface. Just looks horrible.

We’re on the left hand side of the Eurovision scoreboard. Stop the vote now!

50201600 season has returned πŸ₯³

That bloody number is etched into my brain as the barcodes practically never scanned back in my supermarket days.

Certainly something needs done. Scam pages crop up all the time pretending to be legitimate businesses on FB and when you report them they are never taken down. Reported a couple of fake ScotRail pages last week, every single report came back β€œnothing to see here”.
