Now then Comrade.... Let's share the terms of the wager (before you started wriggling and changing the goal posts) with the AT massive and see where the general consensus takes us: You: I'll bet you Jeremy Corbyn is in No.10 Downing Street at the next election. Me: I'll take that bet and lay down £10k that says not while the hole in my ass points downwards.... Then you started shimmy shamming with the parameters and we were distracted by other matters to discuss.... Is that something like an accurate reflection of the conversation?? (PS since it's the 'jokes' page - Why did Jeremy Corbyn cross the road....? Who cares, just as long he keeps f*ing going....)?
-
Did we actually settle on the terms of a wager then? or was I ranting too much??

It's a fine example of what can go wrong for someone that starts down the path of confrontation.....

He's finished anyway.... Might as well go out with an (honest) gag..... Will it be Boris, will it be Jacob, we'll have to wait and see ???c'est sera sera, we all hope it's Nigel we see.....

C-17 and a Brazilian what else is there to see????

Apparently, it's quite a good life as an electrician..... They are immortal, eat volcanic lava, piss perfection and shit gold! Who'd change that for back ache, sawdust in your belly button and smelling of 2-stroke.....?

Any one out there in AT land from Halling (or thereabouts) neck of the woods??

A blonde heard that baths in milk would make her beautiful. She left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk. When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons. So he knocked on the door to clarify the point. The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, "I found your note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean 2.5 gallons?" The blonde said, "No, I want 25 gallons. I'm going to fill my bathtub up with milk and take a milk bath so I can look young and beautiful again." The milkman asked, "Do you want it pasteurized?" Wait for it The blonde said, "No, just up to my tits ... I can splash it on my eyes if I need to!"

What are you paying your employees?
kevinjohnsonmbe replied to shillo's topic in Business Management
There's a bit more to it as well... Training costs - are you expecting to submit them as deductibles? Some caution required there - HMRC may take the view that adding a new skill is not a deductible expense whereas refreshing an existing one or undertaking a course that is required (refreshers / first aid for example) might be. Good for you considering paying for the guys upskilling, but there may be better ways to skin that cat. -
Not enough fluids????

So good I copied, amended and posted elsewhere!! ? I added "...with the left over, left over bits we are attempting to make a new Labour leader..." and there's also the (not so funny) technical amendment which is that HMRC would actually have sought to include the benefits in kind by way of free candles and free biscuits (easy to estimate a cash value) and the national / international benefit in kind calculation of creating a suitable and effective Labour leader which would be invaluable and impossible to calculate an equivalent cash value for revenue purposes..... ?

That can back fire when they pick on the wrong 'soft target' though Gazzer! -

Especially if you are paying for training! -
That's pretty much how I got hooked into it - our little one started TKD late last year, after a couple of weeks watching I got sucked in and now do 3 to 5 sessions a week. It's been tough July-end Aug (because of the drop off in numbers due to hols etc) they have been combining TWD & Kickboxing classes and doing a 2 hour session. There have been times when I've thought I'm too old for this!!

Bird nesting season vs potentially dangerous tree
kevinjohnsonmbe replied to warren's topic in Ecology
That’s a double bluff! I’m not buying it, some of your posts are real rib ticklers. -
Hilarious and currently topical! I love it!! I wonder if that’s a suitable after dinner joke at the PLP conference?? ???

Logical, tidy, efficient... Sweet as!

Try and find a MSM article that DOESN'T use the "far-right", "radical", "extremist" tags when reporting TR stories... It's a sad reflection upon the diabolical state of fake news. Don't bother listening to the man himself, just believe whatever you read in the latest copy of the Socialist Worker.

Dropped a bit of a bullock there then.....

It’s been a 1/2 decent day! Made it to bedtime without flying off the handle! Been frustrated, annoyed and disappointed, but on reflection, not a bad day....

Is that a bad thing?

Didn’t make you pay attention to your punctuation and grammar apparently ?

Might be interesting to see a shot from 180° (reverse angle) to gauge the size / scale of the garden within which the tree stands. If the garden is massive, or at least of sufficient scale to accommodate a large mature tree, then perhaps allowing to grow on to maturity (either with crown lift or pollards as previously suggested, or just left as is) might be the best way to go - although this might not 100% satisfy the neighbour. If the garden isn't massive, or the mature tree might cause 'issues' in terms of scale / size later, maybe consider reducing it down to form a hedge...?? Just floating that out there without seeking to disagree with any other comments - (nothings happened to piss me off yet today so I'm being uncharacteristically 'middle of the road!!')

Hell! That sounded like a school master "I see!"
