    Anyone good at tax returns / VAT?

    I've got roped into doing the Wife's tax return and as with all tax returns I've ever done, I've got a figure nice and early and then not bothered doing the return bit until late in the day and then I encounter a headache. despite trawling google I'm unable to find an answer and hopefully one of...

    It is a daily average so 2 per million per day is around 140 deaths a day.

    Fireworks

    It looked as bright as day time out there at just before midnight. I've never seen as many fireworks going off in so many directions all at the same time.

    Indeed. If I were to feel rough before a family gathering, COVID times or not, I'm not going over there to give it to everyone else even if I was desperate to meet up with family. It's basic manners, it's common sense. The funny thing is my household have all had something similar over the past...

    Popped over to extended family yesterday, Sister In Law spent the entire time coughing all over the place but as she works in retail she takes a LFT every day so at the time we didn't really think anything of it. Until this morning when me, the wife and our child now all have a sore throat and...

    I have some good news and some bad news

    I really liked the first two albums, but I can't say I've particularly been interested since. Wow, that must be around 18 years.

    What is your specialty?

    I've got a degree in Business IT. At no point in the 18 years since has it come in handy whatsoever. I'm now selling stuff on eBay which is exactly what I was doing 22 years ago before I went to Uni. I was doing my GCSEs in the mid 90's and the school didn't have any sort of computing GCSE...

    Be wary of claims Covid-19 deaths “soar” on Tuesdays - Full Fact Yep, both Sunday and Monday numbers are usually (if not always) the lowest of the week. In terms of deaths I think the figure released Sunday is from the 24 hour period between 5pm Friday to 5pm Saturday, whilst Monday is 5pm...

    They always are on a Monday. 38 last week, 41 the week before. I don't think death registrations are done over the weekend which then makes the Tuesday / Wednesday figures higher.

    That was an hour ago and it seems was in response to a complaint lodged over Max overtaking under the safety car which was never coming to anything. The restart however will be Mercedes versus Masi which I doubt Red Bull will be asked their opinion of because it doesn't concern them. Well it...

    F1 2021

    A decision is expected tonight so I presume the FIA have come up with a way to save face. Joint champions anyone? How about the race being null and void and Max winning on countback?

    F1 2021

    So Mercedes and Red Bull representatives, along with a Mercedes Barrister, are currently chatting with the race director / stewards. It seems odd to have a Barrister to hand but in this sport, and with the often opaque rulings, I guess it shouldn't be too surprising when so much was going to be...

    The FIA won't have wanted any of this type of publicity. I bet if Masi could go back in time he would now have red flagged the race so it would have been a straight 5 lap fight to the end with both on new tyres.

    F1 2021

    In a way this ending is just so sad. I know a few people who watched today who are either occasional watchers or not usually bothered at all and they are now moaning it's crap and they won't bother again. None of them are invested in either driver so as far as I can tell it's not sour grapes...

    I dont think we've heard the end of this. Well done Max. I'm not sure I've ever been so invested in a race in all my life.

    If Hamilton had got past Perez straight away he would probably have had the gap to pit under the VSC and regain the lead if Verstappen stayed out. If Verstappen does win the title he owes Perez a pint. One thing is for sure, unless there's another incident Hamilton will now not have the time to...

    Max will win this, baring another VSC / SC. What an incredible end to the season.
