    [PIC_THREAD] People, Portraits, Street

    I'm telling you right now that 2nd one is Jarvis Cocker, he looked right at me when I took it. Was star struck :D.

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    Most don’t out of the box unless you request it but you will of course end up paying more as it’s a taxable benefit. I decided to put my misses in it as of April renewal because waiting lists for non-urgent stuff was silly and in the end it’s just money. Do feel alittle guilty though because it...

    *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

    If it results in a more noticeable stable experience of the new GTA game then I’ll upgrade though I always opt for no ray tracing 60fps anyway so one wonders what the point will be. The 10% increase in CPU clock is hardly going to allow us to play it at 4K/60 with ray tracing without it being...

    The next James Bond could be...

    The age jokes in NTTD and fact a man in his 50’s hitting it on with some young hot thing 20 years younger does highlight it a tad. Just saying, let’s try to avoid the Moore years toward the end in terms of age unless it’s specifically a thing (old snake, old bond?)

    The next James Bond could be...

    Whatever happens for the love of God get back to releasing every couple of years, three max and abit less of the post production shenanigans. They seem to be more and more complex to make but with less and less payoff. The cgi breakdown of NTTD DB9 scene was mind blowing, soo much (albeit well...

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    No way that’s her. You can see the bulging skin move over her lizard skin and zip protruding on the back. Slow news day…

    Hiatal hernia surgery

    Ah man I should get this done but abit of a chicken since the horrific camera stuffed down throat in 2014. There’s nothing like have a tiny Indonesian lady stroke your head as your eyes stream water and a doctor pumps air into your stomach to get the steal. Would definitely mark that as the most...

    I wish BT would stop sending this.

    When first heard this i couldn’t believe it but as you say, it makes sense but man oh man it’s a tad depressing that people could be this stupid, though I give the elderly a pass.

    So err, What’s Happened to the Princess of Wales?

    Looks fine to me aside from the zip on the skin, presumably hiding the lizard underneath. Jokes aside I’ve probably taken more interest in the consistency of my dump this morning than this picture.

    National insurance cut

    Under our current voting system is it because we flip flop between spending under Labour to cutting under Conservatives accept now even Labour won’t(can’t) come to the rescue. Bring on coalition governments that can look past a single term and keep each parties worst qualities at bay.

    National insurance cut

    This idea of cutting safety nets to pay for tax cuts it’s a recipe for disaster. Affordable housing, living wage, affordable childcare etc etc. Work doesn’t pay for a large part of society because once you factor in basic living you end up a few quid better off than being on benefits. That...

    New theme park: Universal Studios… Bedford!

    You must be right because I can hardly get off the sofa without groaning and bones clicking, this ain’t no sprog.

    New theme park: Universal Studios… Bedford!

    I remember that place when I was a wee sprog. Good times, loved it. For the really young kids I think these places can end up being more fun than the monstrosity that kid Alton Towers and that other one they own down south. American Adventure, was sad to see that go.

    National insurance cut

    Frankly, if Joe Public are that stupid…by now, after all the stuff that’s gone down after 14 years of being mugged off, especially since 2016, then we deserve it. Talk about fool me once. It’s amazing how much the UK adult population hate their children, destroying their future by asset...

    Pension fund performance - do you monitor yours, how is it doing, do you actively change it?

    Thoughts on the £1 million pot tax being abolished come Spring budget and added back again by Labour? Sort of expecting come my time (27 years from now ) they’ll be no Gov pension for me and tax raid on the private. Definitely see this being on cards but you’re sort of stuck being a rock and...

    Disabled couple snooped on and accused of fraud by the DWP

    Ah Capita. How I remember them from the 2000’s. They have this incredible power to slowly destroy a firm by taking every possible action but the one that will improve customer outcome and provide them with an income. It can NEVER be both. I’d never heard of or seen 12 week rotas, annualised...

    Disabled couple snooped on and accused of fraud by the DWP

    Then the UK needs to collect more taxes, firms needs to pay proper wages instead of leaving it to Gov subsidies via various benefits to make up for the shortfall. And when I say taxes, I mean across the board, especially these multi billion dollar firms paying out dividends when they don’t pay...

    National insurance cut

    Right, and I’m pretty sure themselves said they cannot guarantee cuts will remain going into 2025 (assuming they’re re-elected), if they’re ‘unaffordable’, which is really code for “election is over, we’ve got another 4 years left and you suckers can’t do **** about it. Of course these cuts...

    National insurance cut

    Markets are wary of Hunt revving inflation and they know is short-termism policy making with little thought on long term growth. Hell even the guy is giving £100k of his own money to the local constituency so he can better his chance at keeping his seat. Lib-dems are fighting him for the seat...

    National insurance cut

    Benefits and councils likely. Though I don’t think anyone believes it anymore.
