Went to my local car wash wallahs earlier only to discover that even though I had twenty quids in my pocket, it wasn't enough for a wash, dry and an hoovering etc.
Good job I could see the new prices from the back of the queue as I promptly selected the reverse gear and fooked right off.

The Jag is into the workshop for an A service and MOT, should be about £250.

But, maybe a couple of tyres and worn bushes up front think I'm not going to get much change from £800.

You’d think that manufacturers of ‘ready meals’ would have figured out a way to make them presentable on a plate, like the label shows.

Two days running, driving North up the two-lane A1(M) through Hertfordshire in the car, I encountered drivers who continually dabbed their brakes for no reason. Wednesday night it was some duffer who found himself in the outside (of two) lanes who wouldn’t crack on for miles, wouldn’t move left and seemed certain that 61 mph would result in jail. The plug of traffic which formed behind was bloody dangerous. Thursday night and it’s sometime else in the right hand lane who dabbed his brakes religiously for one second every ten seconds, I could hardly believe it. I’d slay them all.

I hooked up the mighty Hyosung GT250R to the battery trickle charger today.
Only to discover this evening that I hadn’t switched it on at the plug socket .

Organised two weeks ago to take my Dad out for the day today, he was looking forward to it. Now he is no longer with us today is a bit of a downer.

Got a letter from HMRC Yesterday, It appears i have Not paid enough tax on my earnings this Year . I have to pay HMRC £430 Before April , The letter is not very clear but i assume the £430 will be on Top of my Normal tax on my weekly wage i am employed . So HMRC have told my employer this is His Tax code Or do employers just pick a code and go with it ? This has never happened to me before and have worked in Constant employment since Leaving School in 1972 !!

Catching up with the Lucifer TV series and I wondered what the Cuneiform script says on the pillars in Lucifer's flat. Nothing apparently, not coherent text in either Sumerian, Akkadian or Assyrian.

Most disappointed.

A colleague came into work this morning holding a vile contraption somebody had placed on an unlit country lane; basically a 3" length of reinforced pipe with 3" screws sticking out of it in all directions. It was dark grey so pretty much the same colour as the road. Not sure what the target was/is, but it would cause grief to pretty much any road user who came into contact with it.

What possesses people to do this sort of thing?

Stinkwheel and Nobby Thankyou for the information my last wage was on the Tax code 1263L and my wage due this week it has Changed to 1003L ? The accountant will be in tomorrow So i will be knocking on his door in the morning, The way the letter is worded the £430 has to be paid by april This Year and Not carried onto 2024 . Once again Thank you Cheers Francis

[Nobby the Bastard]

The change in tax code implies you were underpaid due to paying excess tax on some other income at some point and now the opposite is the case. The fact you have 'an accountant' implies there is information missing from the story.
