That really does suck. I saw them during the Daisy tour and it was brilliant.
Me and my lady were going to see them in Glasgow for the Sci Fi tour but then those last dates got cancelled due to the shit storm.
Listened to it earlier actually, and I love their music so much and would love to see them play just once more.
I saw them one more time after that, they supported Biffy and they were much more mellow. That was good.
Also had tickets to the sci fi tour, was gonna see them in Dublin when the tour got pulled. That was bad.
how’s the mouse situation @niallc ?
Still here I think but keeping its head down. We are going away at the weekend so wife’s parents are looking after the dog and keeping her a couple of days after so hopefully in that time the mouse comes out from hiding again and can get caught.
Bloody dog pulled of part of the skirting board trying to find it behind which all our wiring is and pulled out part of the ring main, lucky she didnt get zapped.
Went to the docs for this cough I’ve had for nigh on 2 months and she rang me back about blood test and apparently I have lung chlamydia?!?
Sounds mad. And no I didn’t get it breathing in cock.
Apparently quite common, got some antibiotics for it. Hopefully on the men(d) soon.
Koalas are riddled with it. @Mark sucked off a koala, pass it on
First day back in the office (urgh!) One of the guys is on holiday in Barbados. The photo updates on the team WhatsApp have begun! Hope a coconut falls on his toe!
if they’re on holiday and posting updates of the trip to work people then they have some series work/life problems and you should pity them. i bet his partner is stoked he’s sat on his phone 
Had a remortgage meeting with a consultant and for no reason other than “Tories” we’re due to pay almost 50% more on our fixed rate 5 yr which means I can retire in about 50 years and live comfortably for maybe 12 minutes.
Can’t wait.
Iv resided to a huge heroin dose around the age of 70 already.
Do 2 year fixed and hope to fuck it comes down then switch to 5 after that?
Mine renews in May, struggling to find a 2yr fix. Frustrating as we were hoping to move but our mortgage increase is going to cost what we were hoping to move into 
Not looking forward to renewing my fixed five year mortgage in June. I reckon I’m going to have my pants pulled down.
Mine renews in April, the best I have is an offer at 5.06% with HSBC so far … hopefully I find something else. It’ll be a few hundred quid extra a month to find, fucking bastards.
Ah shit that sucks, who’s it with?
Nationwide. It’s not as bad as it sounds, our house is cheap (just over £600pm) but we fixed for 2 years intending to move nearer to my work where it’s about 1/3 more expensive at the end of our 2 years. Our renewal is around £800 which is still affordable, but even if it passed the affordability I can’t justify jumping to £1300 to move to the other side of Plymouth.
Just got landed with a 5 figure tax bill.
I am going to be really, really pissed off the next time I drive over a pot hole in the road.
Shit. How did this happen and how can I avoid it
Are you employed by an Australian business? if so, the standard PAYE tax stuff should prevent any nasty surprises. If you’re in an industry where you can deduct things, the ~$250 to have an accountant submit your tax return is worth it.
My issue was totally self inflicted and an unusual chain of events.
Have 3 more years at 3% and just sold our house to move into somewhere bigger.
Current lender wants 85% LTV which fucks us.
£17k to cut the current fixed early but would be on 5% or more if we moved the mortgage somewhere else.
Basically can’t move despite being under offer. Do we just sell and rent until things ‘maybe’ calm down? Fuck.
