Last November Me and Mrs Fiend attended a family wedding over in Thailand.... When I booked the flights I booked Qatar Airways Manchester to Bangkok and 2 domestic flights in Thailand, one with Bangkok Airways to fly us north, and a Thai Air Asia flight returning south...... A month after...

My brother actually caught the lad next door using my mums outside tap to fill up some big water containers...... They're on a water meter and my mums isn't... Needless to say my brother isolated that tap from inside the house. He won't be stealing any more water!!!

My 15 year old Volvo C30 passed it's 3rd consecutive MOT without advisories this week!!! :banana:

Yep and that cut in NI is effectively being funded by the freeze in income tax thresholds which effectively raises an extra £40 billion, so basically all taxpayers are funding a cut that only benefits people paying NI... My own opinion given a choice between tax cuts funded by cutting services...

I took early retirement in July 2022 and I retired on a final salary scheme with the bonus of it being index-linked as well... The government had wanted to change my pension over to the defined contribution model, but thanks to my pension being protected by an act of parliament (due to where I...
