    Basingstoke to Reading commute

    I decided to take a short cut to work, so drove to Basingstoke then to Reading. I got to Basingstoke at 7:15. Jeez, I've never seen so much traffic. Almost walking pace till the A33 dual carriageway, then high speed for a few miles, followed by the M4 junction nightmare. Back to driving to Hook...

    HM Government - Thieving Farquars

    As I understand the new tax rules, after the age of 55 you can take a chunk from your pension, with 25% tax free, and the remainder taxed as part of your income. So if you draw £15,000 in one year, and have no other income, then £3,750 is tax free, and the rest is mostly if not all under the...

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    In my case it was a German Shepherd dog. They used to have the reputation as being nasty, probably because they were used by the police. But these days other breeds get the headlines.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    She is a softie, but when an unknown dog barks at you, you don't take the risk do you? As to the last question, no. She never bites, shows no aggression, just barks loudly, it's bloody annoying.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    I was once out walking and an alsatian came up to me and started jumping up into the air next to me at shoulder height and snapping its jaws. The owner was surprised I was terrifed. We used to have dogs too, so I like the things. We don't know the circumstances of the attack. It is possible...

    63 storey Address Hotel in Dubai ablaze.

    I've always wondered about these buildings. How do you fight fires? Presumably water points and hoses throughout the buildings, you'd think they would have sprinklers. And how do you refurbish something so tall when the outside is damaged, it must be a right royal pain. And then when the design...

    Which sock do you put on first?

    I think you've had one too many sherbots, still, New Year's eve, I can't blame you. Hic. That's your actual Latin that is.

    Hey gasbag, he was offensive, irrespective of your disingenuous nonsense. And it looks like bolo took offence. I'll say you seem to be a total @rsehole. Does that sound like an insult or not?

    New Year, New Resolution - Acceptable topics for GD

    Corgigrouch was extremely offensive to bolo, dismissing his qualifications and indicating that he is useless, as the quote you helpfully provide clearly shows. Not being a car salesman, or a shop assistant, I do not wear a suit. Casual clothes do me.

    Windsor is SL4. The ignominy.

    If you check back you will see that corgigrouch was being abusive to bolo and dismissing the value of his degrees, saying that he was useless. Why am I not surprised that does not bother you. I think it quite reasonable to question his qualifications or lack of in that context. As regards...

    Windsor shares the SL prefix with Slough. Residents have campaigned for their own prefix such as WI. By the way the Queen Mum was cremated in Slough, they say she burned brightly thanks to all the gin inside her.

    New Year, New Resolution - Acceptable topics for GD

    I think you'll find a lot of companies disagree with you. A first in maths is highly employable. The skills are useful, and companies prize the ability to think.,But I bet your qualifications are rather basic, even if we include your scout badges. By the way, ASBOs do not count. :LOL:

    So no qualifications then? I've been saluted by a bloke in a white van on several occasions, they do seem to like to say hello. :ROFLMAO: Psst: I'm sure some women drive vans too.
