Nah, that'll have gone over his head, he's just a shouty, angry, person with unresolved parental trauma. He'll get there though, especially if he eats some mushrooms on one or two of his 260 days off each year. Also, the 'funny' bit was there before you posted.

Micro-dosing works way better for some people than prescribed anti-depressants, I know this because I do it. Macro-dosing works too and has a significant effect on things but that's a slightly different kettle of fish and not for the faint hearted. St John's Wort has helped close friends of mine. You do have to be careful though about what else you might imbibe while taking mushrooms or St John's Wort etc. as there are potential contraindications.

I'm glad you're happy with your work, when I was younger I was happy to spend extended periods of time away from my close ones, now I'd rather hang out with my lass and my mates after a days work. Are you planning on retiring from the rig work soon? You must have made a few quid and you can miss a great deal of life when you're on the road (rig) all the time. What was so funny about the post about the benefits of psilocybin?

Redcaps?

You live in the world of daft money on oil rigs, I have a mate who is a chef on one, he gets a very generous full-time wage for a part-time job. I struggle to make more than £90 an hour on dry land, but I do get to hang out with my friends and family when I want to.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/11/health/psilocybin-brain-changes-life-itself-wellness-scn/index.html I think it's a good thing that the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic mushrooms are being noted again. "Big Pharma" won't be happy as you can wipe out PTSD, depression, and associated addictions in one dose.

Dear Donna: I compulsively dress as a builder whenever I'm in trouble. Is this normal? | The Daily Mash WWW.THEDAILYMASH.CO.UK DEAR Donna, I can’t stop myself dressing like a builder. The moment I’m in trouble, which is a lot, I sneak off and put on...

It takes four years to train to be a nurse. My current squeeze was an ITU nurse and knows things. Getting your 'tickets' and being competent are two very different things. The governments of the last decade or two haven't been acting in our favour.

Mayor Jamie Driscoll accuses Boris Johnson of "political ponzi scheme" - Chronicle Live WWW.CHRONICLELIVE.CO.UK North of Tyne mayor said the under-fire Prime Minister makes promises to the public that he cannot meet Even today in PMQ's Johnson tried to bluff his way through things by saying they were building 48 new hospitals as opposed to the 40 new ones they're allegedly building, irrespective of the fact there's no nurses anymore. He's an embarrassment to the country, I genuinely pity anyone who hasn't seen through his charade.

Yup, cold, boiled rice would work better than cold, raw rice, but sometimes we have to live a little.

Chop up loads of garlic and start frying it in a wok then add a load of cold pre-cooked rice, fry until claggy then put into a bowl. Fry an egg or two and deposit on top of bowl of claggy rice, add a splash of soy sauce - Filipino breakfast.

Doubtful. I'd find it amusing if they did.

That's four out of ten near enough, they dislike him more than May. I hope they resign their seats, I couldn't work for a firm where almost half the workforce thinks their boss is incompetent.

I reckon Jeremy Hunt has been lining himself up for a while, I have my suspicions that Gove would be preferred by Murdoch et al., but nobody's going to vote for someone who looks like that and is blatantly off their face on coke.

Incompetency.

It's not bullshit criteria though, they've just closed the loopholes that allowed big companies to use subbies in the roles of employees. There must be money in it for them or they wouldn't have done it.
-
Aye, but there were many agencies who used to act as agents for ltd companies, who also exploited the IR35 game. If your business stops working for you then you have to work on a new one. As for your 'Look at how bad the SNP are doing with tax' post, why not post something positive about how good the tories are doing instead? Too much negativity in the world.
-
I'm glad you swerved the problems that Ltd companies can present. I was more than happy to make use of the IR35 loophole while it existed. There's a real chance that the blanket ban on Ltd companies in your sector is due to the fact that the big players knew they were also playing the IR35 game and HMRC has taken their ball away. HMRC are the only people who are set to benefit from the changes. Good on the SNP, running a deficit is probably the best way to extract money from Westminster.

Let’s rejoin EU single market to ease cost of living crisis, says Tobias Ellwood WWW.TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Tory MP, and Boris Johnson critic, suggests ‘radical thinking’ to fight rising inflation, including ‘daring to assess how Brexit is...

If your limited company can't survive post IR35 then you weren't really running a viable business in the first place; you were just a subby/'employee' who used to direct a limited company for its benefits within current tax law. I and companies I work with definitely benefitted from the breaks offered by IR35, luckily I don't keep all my eggs in one basket.

Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland 2020-21 WWW.GOV.SCOT Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) is a National Statistics publication. It estimates the revenue... Here's one for you mate, the full facts and not just a Murdoch soundbite. I'm not disputing that some of your friends have stopped working as the tax imposed makes it seem to be a bad proposition. Personally I'd pay a decent accountant some money and crack on, but each to their very own.
