Reading today that 2 BILLION quid of NHS money has been paid to Richard Branson over the past 5 years. All paid to his tax dodging company in Tortila in the Virgin Islands. What a fucking disgrace.

I was getting offered IT work for that business opportunity as early as 2010. I turned it down, of course. At that point, Iād already turned down a firm that was working for a client that was doing work for a proto-Wonga legalised loan shark outfit. This year, I turned down work at a law firm taking the case of a corporation bang to rights on malfeasance.
Fucking left wing contracting. It doesnāt pay as well.

Met this cute chick at a karaoke bar.

I watered the garden this evening as quite a few plants were on their last legs.
It has now been pissing down for over an hour and counting
Bloody weather

Discovering that the edge of that pond is the border with Czech.
And just behind those trees I could have had a herbal chocolate brownie legallyā¦
Always have your passport on you!
If I had that plate of food, that beer, that view and the weather thereās no way Iād want to be moving for some ganga biscuits.

You are not alone. We have done that too.
Just been to a step class after work. No real excuse over the summer to avoid the gym as itās about a 2 min walk from my office and 10 mins to home. I am currently not having to do too many pm visits. But now need a large alcoholic to get over the trauma of my lack of coordination and being massively unfit.

Thinking I am clever by buying a 5 gallon bottle of Ad Blue to save a few quid, to then be confronted by the fact the filler tube has been put in the most inaccessible part of the engine bayā¦ then having to spend ages tryin* to work out how to get it in there without covering me / the car / the drive in diluted pig piss (that what your modern diesel now runs on).
Funnily enough the Ayatollah balked at me suggested I use the funnel / gravy jug from the kitchen.
