GrumpiusMaximus Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 When I was in the States I did a lot of maths in my head going to the petrol station, guessed $30 to fill up the Rav4 we'd rented and was spot on. Got to say, I felt pretty smug afterwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burraston2006 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Decided to do a PPI claim. Not expecting anything back but got a letter today saying yes we'll give you some money. The grump? I went bankrupt back in 2012 and have been discharged. Lloyds said they have sent the money to the Official Receiver. Bxstards. Looks like I won't see any of it.

Lord Sterling Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 A boring post about commuting.... Birmingham on a Thursday ? What happens? I mean really. I know that commuting into Birmingham is difficult enough at most times but today took the absolute piss. It seems that suddenly anyone who is anyone from the Midlands MUST decend into Birmingham whether they are there for 5 minutes or 5 days. Getting out of Birmingham was no better. People don't seem that bothered/awake enough to advance in a forwardly fashion. Google Maps pissed me off twice; usually in the morning it redirects me to a faster route if current route gets blocked up, but today, it just couldn't be bothered adding 40 minutes onto my journey time. Google Maps has been fucked off now in favour of Waze which I know uses the same type of base programme but I reckon (hope) it'll be much more awake.

Rovorsche Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Yet again for the third time in as many weeks I have been significantly late home due to mechanical failiures, none of which have been mine. Can we have a special MOT for cars in Cheltenham and Gloucester that caters for shuddering sheds that will terminally shit themselves at the top of Crickely Hill in rush hour ? After two hours of fucking hill starts I was tempted to park in the Air-Ballon car park, buy a lighter and set fire to a white Ford Fiesta that has pissed off a cast of thousands tonight. Plod were sitting in a marked car to prevent such things happening. busmansholiday, mitsisigma01, SiC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hill nearly killed my Honda Civic Mk7! Yes a Honda. A Honda that was 5 years old and had 60k on the clock. Ok yes it had a tiny coolant leak and the load up the hill while being at an angle caused it to nearly boil over. Got to max, lost all power. Slowed down and thankfully got power again. It boiled over going the other way a few days later and I stopped on the hatched markings where the lane merges. Pretty sure most accidents on that hill are from people running into the back of others crawling up or broken down. Lost count of the number of old VW Transporters crawling up it at 10 mph with worried people in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'man in the pub' thinks that as the PPI payments on the credit card were before the bankruptcy it counts as an asset, so even though I was discharged years ago so the OR can claim it. I'm going to call them later to find out what's what and see if there's anyway I can get the money. Fingers crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 It’s icy as fuck today, I mean proper treacherous under foot. Nevertheless people are still driving like idiots, one passed me today (8 year old 1 series...) through the high street doing a good 50 in a 30mph zone.

loserone Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I had a van come up behind me at 60-70 in a 30 this morning. Saw him nearly leave the road when he slammed on his brakes realising I wasn't going to speed past houses, then considering overtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I was offered a job/contract this last week. Provisional offer says Ltd company rate. I provisionally accepted pending contract being acceptable. Comes back with that they are checking because hiring manager thinks it's inside IR35. If this is the case the reduced income due to more tax is not the issue. My limited company has been employing my wife (who has ME) to do the books which has paid her National insurance stamp, ensuring she'll get a pension. And it has been paying into a pension for her. I will have to wind the company up. It's just loads of hassle. I might end up winding up the company with it owing the HMRC money if I'm not careful. And this is all because of the changes to regulations in April which have loads of companies who employ contractors and freelancers on temporary contracts. It looks like there's not much else out there due to this and the brexshite effect, so don't know if this is a temporary blip or whether it's all going this way forever. I'll be talking with my accountant on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
