We went in to the bank today to draw a bankers draft to pay for the new house. Cue many identity checks, inspection of paperwork etc as expected.
Then, out of the blue, they hit us with a charge of .5% of the amount of the bank draft! Apparently a standard charge for vetting large transactions. Grrrrr
Fcuking daylight robbery. They've taken nearly €500 off us for checking the veracity of our own money.
Yeah yeah first world problems

I suppose you should think yourself lucky the government didn't just decide to help themselves to 20% of your balance. They have previous.
I would argue that Cyprus has a fairly tenuous claim to being "first world". ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I hear she's doing a duet with Rick Astley doing a cover of All time high by Rita Coolridge.
Good on 'em I say.

My solution would be razor wire the fences |
I absolutely agree this should be a legal option to protect property. And if you can't on the outer fence, it should at least be legal on a secondary boundary inside. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

The other way to look at it: would anyone miss them if they... disappeared?

Fucking Azithromycin.
I've only had three out of the course of 10.
First one caused an uncomfortable stomach cramp within a couple of hours, and 36 hours later my stomach is growling with gas, let alone the hot farts. I'm scared if I take any more they will become hot wet farts.
Where I work, its given to a lot of people to help get them through winter to help avoid suffering bad respiratory infections. And a lot of them do complain that it gives them diarrhoea. So I must have fairly strong guts cos so far there's just a lot of noise (internal) and the occasional ripe smell.
But I can't imagine having to be on it long term like that, it must be horrendous. They even give it to small kids, 250mg (half of what I am taking), three times a week right through winter.
Still, it already seems to be working on whatever was wrong with my nose I can actually touch my face again now. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Sorry to hear it, GWS.
Excuse my curiosity, but how did you wind up with a collapsed lung, if you don't mind my asking? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
