Porn and private messaging don’t generate tax income the same way alcohol does, is why

If you’re not one of these people who has to have everything running at 60fps to enjoy it, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is only £26.99 ($29.99) at the moment, and is a great game for hours of play, albeit you have to turn the gfx down.

Oddly specific ranting, browncoat.

Given the more recent email saying not to use the link, might be worth removing the link to the site from here as well?

Working in the mortgage industry, part of it is also how lenders assess the income from the property when compared to its value. With interest rates having shot up the last few years (albeit coming back down somewhat recently) the stress calculations mean lenders want ever higher rent to cover the mortgages they have on the properties.

Doesn’t help that your average investor is usually borrowing the max of 75% LTV either, as you said.

It’s been this way for decades. I had logo’d uniform when I was in junior school in the 80s. My brother had the same in the 70s, and it’s existed long before then. If anything schools are somewhat more flexible now than they used to be, my daughter starts school for the first time next week, and her school just needs the right colours, logos are not mandatory. I’ve heard of other schools just wanting the top most layer (jumper, blazer, whatever) having the logo.

And just to add context for people, when they met he was 32 and she was 35. Hardly a massive age gap, but she was already twice over Andrew’s preferred age range.

Nationalise them all. They’ve been syphoning off funds for their shareholders for decades. Time to put those profits where they should actually be used, improving the pipes and fixing shit, and any excess going towards other national infrastructure.

Britain was involved in the creation of Israel, as described in the wiki article.

Quite why we’re still involved with it to the degree we are I don’t know.

Not a bad day today, but as always the daughter has her moments. 4 1/2, due to start school in August (Leicestershire is weird). We came back from a 4 night hol at Haven yesterday and tbf she was mostly well behaved, although I’ve never seen anyone speed run through a Sea Life centre like she wanted to!
