I'm working harder than usual, outside gigs know they have the upper hand and are getting their money's worth....

The problem is the civil servants, they are totally gutless and Blair years' hangers-on.

I'm happier with the kind of legislation that we have in the UK regarding guns.

However, you have to be realistic about the situation in the US - the genie is already out of the bottle and you are not going to be able to put it back in unless there is mass approval and that doesn't exist....

The HoC has a long history of destroying industries simply because they felt they couldn't extract enough punitive taxation from it. They damn near killed the Industrial Revolution before it even got started.

Most of the noise is from the tires, motors are quite quiet these days. Electric will only reduce the fumes....

There are a number of large new developments happening not too far from me now. All of them are right up close to busy dual-carriageways, it seems as if developers and councils seem to hate poor families - the Boomers didn't have to put up with such a poor existence when they were raising their children,...

But did he die of COVID, from COVID or because he just had the AZ vac - i.e. old age? A thousand conspiracy theorists will want to know.

Something about Nuns in Nepal....

Once HMRC starts to see that their tax take post IR35 private sector rollout has not actually increased I am concerned that they will go into a red rage and start taxing everything that moves....

Well, I asked my accountant.

He thinks we will be able to claim it, not that it's going to be game-changing but it's better than nothing.

I live in the South West and the market is on fire.

Seems like a very mixed picture across the UK but it does feel like a crack-up boom loaded with risk. Businesses are closing by the hundred, lots of people on furlough and house prices going up just doesn't make sense. Nothing ever seems...

Most bullying in schools is carried out [or orchestrated] by girls and is psychological rather than physical.

It's all true, not just Goldmans but they are one of the worst.

My wife is ex. Goldman's and I got an offer from them in 2005 but got to the last interview where I met the team; they were all red-eyed and looked exhausted and stressed. The Manager clearly ruled through fear and nobody seems...

I'm seeing a lot of this kind of hard-nosed contract wording flying about. Not really surprising given that everyone is now terrified of HMRC and their guidance is for the most part unworkable or unreasonable.

If you are a consultant/expert nobody knows what you are going to do until you...

Everybody wants Alpha, baby. Interest rates effectively negative for a year....

All the young women around here have those massive painted-on eyebrows. I'd have to be seriously pissed to do them were I still a young-chap. Horrid trend.

I don't think most of those points are even possible any more. Nevertheless, we should at least reduce our dependence on imports on quite a few fronts.

1. Microchips - no reason why we shouldn't do more here, for security reasons more than anything.
2. Food - stop building on the...

I got some electric clippers from Cost Co. as I just had enough of this nonsense. Watched a Youtube video and had a go.

Wasn't too hard, the first go was passable and the second much better. I've paid for worse so will probably continue cutting my own hair indefinitely now as I'm only going...

Since COVID struck the starkest division in society looks more like the public sector vs. the private sector (and their supporters).

I'm very worried for the future now; people have lost their minds.

Young people aren't doing IT because it's hard, boring work which pays quite modestly thanks to, well you guys know.

Half of the people on my teams are over 50 these days.
