That new Colnago looks like it's only available, if you have Bitcoin.

time for the estate agent to earn his fee

they are literally just paid to run a service

Are you on site and which section are you involved with? Sorry - too many questions.

Are you still with Network Rail?

You can also see how at a higher level that both sides are protecting their own interests and for the TOCs that means profit, sometimes to the detriment of performance/customer satisfaction.

I had a couple of years in Management Consultancy - while deciding on next steps* - and recall presenting to NR, DfT and ORR on how flawed the TOC payment (pain/gain) mechanism was (is?)

I took a sample station, modelled its asset base, and pushed it through a Control Period using a quite simple Excel workbook. It showed that a TOC could let certain station assets go to ruin and still receive a payment rather than a penalty. Because of several flaws in the mechanism and franchise policy that I won't bore everyone with!

I thought the head of ORR - a formidable man at the time - was going to defenestrate someone.

*gone back to building the infrastructure now. I find it more rewarding and less chance of bumping into idiots who belong at KPMG.

They might be nice Mexican chaps, but you might save one of them being killed. How much trouble depends where they are in the chain of command.

Damaging your property is a safety issue, so yes the HSE would act.

Hi mate.

Did you call HSE? From the photo you have shown, the HSE will stop this site in a heartbeat.

If you don't want to call: https://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/tell-us-about-a-health-and-safety-issue.htm

Same outcome.

Take an [old] inner tube and stretch/wrap it very tightly around the handle. Like the trick you can use for a stubborn crank bolt: https://youtube.com/shorts/MCzxEarjkfU?si=Hqlm8KKeBblYGKk8

Kind of with you on this. It all stinks a bit, but who here wouldn't pardon a loved one in the same situation?

Question.

If Hunter Biden has been pardoned, that's effectively charges dropped, so he is no longer guilty of tax evasion? Does this mean he will never be liable to (re)pay the defrauded amounts?

This kind of case study is useful - thank you!

Liverpool were so dominant then, it's no surprise!

It was the at least bit... but I won't derail, particularly in defending this hill!

Thank you!

I have a chunk in one pension which I paid into from 2001 to 2014. That's stuck where it is unless I end up working somewhere which will allow the amount to be transferred into the new pension.

Then I have the pension I am currently paying into since 2014.

I'm 45 next year.

The point is that by the time it gets into your grubby hands you have paid tax on it at least once

Eurgh, isn't that so...

There's a perspex measuring gauge in Post Offices, which determine small/large letter, parcel etc

I think those dimensions should be on the website.

It feels to me like a scam, if I am understanding things properly!

Thank you.

I should know all of this, but are the tax rates as per income tax? So 0, 20, 40, 50% - depending on amount (and any additional income)?

Tbh, anyone who doesn't view the c.2001 "Over the Border" area a bit strange, well I find that strange in itself in all honesty. It was far from a "normal" area; like the parts of the west side of the Leeds city centre, towards the ring road.

That part of Leeds is changed nowadays, and I know there was a lot of public realm work in the pipeline for the Tees banks.

You're assuming incorrectly that the second sentence was intended to be negative; it was a formative time for me and some of the experiences were fantastic.

Christ. How annoying.

Bloody love E Mono

He was in Babuji, reviewing I guess, when I went in there close to them opening.

That's what I really need to bear in mind, I guess. It's not like - say - an ISA where you can get at it, if needed.

How does the tax relief work out? I know I won't be taxed on the contribution because it leaves my pay before tax is calculated, but at the other end when I take my pension it will be taxed then right?

There are a few things from that 18months that will live with me forever, tbh.

I am thinking of maxing out my AVCs - is there anything I should be aware of besides making sure it still leaves enough in my pay packet?
