    Perhaps they are waiting to see how well he does. If he wins the WC with a try/drop goal against NZ then all charges dropped, if he fumbles it and we het booted out of the pool stages then 10 years hard labour?

    Labelling yourself is crackers, being labelled is even more apalling. Other peoples need to categorise does not define me, I have been variously labelled in the past as:

    Surfer/bodyboarder/sharkbiscuit
    Cyclist
    Mum/Mother
    Lady who lunches
    Lesbian/dyke
    Straight
    Bitch
    Housewife
    educator
    welsh nationalist
    walker

    I do not identify with any of these, I am me, I have done those things above (well not all of them, but I might), but what I do does not define me.

    Typing expresses zero emphasis, so for me it is more of a frustration at not getting my point across, or the other side utterly misreading you and only seeing some agression/negativity or passing judgement with so little information. Plus the fact that people love to insult other people without thinking of the consqequences.

    My other half constantly gets himself in the shit on here because he fails to express himself correctly or people misread his sentiment, he then spend ages defending it and just embarrasses us all.

    I try to stick to technical help or positive comments, but often get dragged in. I feel sure that if we were all in the pub we would hardly ever argue, we would discuss and learn from each other.

    Dig/scrape it off, fill scrapes with easy fill. allow to dry for an hour or so, and then sand it flat. Wall will be flat and smooth again I promise. Its easy to sand, absolulty brilliant stuff, same texture as plaster skim and when you paint over it, it will dissapear. I use it all the time.

    It is not my thing, and I would be genuninely upset if any of my kids wanted or got a tattoo, but opposing it is about the worst thing you could do. In fact I am considering getting one so my kids think it is lame..

    Footflaps I agree entirely, hence the OP’s question, thus if you’ve never moved from one rate to another you would be ignorant of it. But the point being that if you have had a payslip since moving from the lower to the higher tax rate you know that you are making more money than you were before. So stating that you are “now earning less because you are on the higher tax rate” proves that you are actually not on the higher tax rate, and likley have never been..

    Rob- I looked at wiki and it turns out the origin of the phrase is pretty much from this –

    “Recorded in the Book of Judges, chapter 12, after the inhabitants of Gilead inflicted a military defeat upon the tribe of Ephraim (around 1370–1070 BCE), the surviving Ephraimites tried to cross the Jordan River back into their home territory and the Gileadites secured the river’s fords to stop them. In order to identify and kill these refugees, the Gileadites told each refugee to say the word shibboleth. The Ephraimite dialect did not contain the “sh” sound and so those who pronounced the word as sibboleth were identified as Ephraimites and killed”

    Sorry I am being a derbrain. A shibboleth is a code the checks if you are in or out of a group based on what you know. Those that know the code are in, those that do not are out.

    So if you have ever paid the 40% rate you damn well know that its not through and through, its only on the earnings of over 43k (or whatever it is or was at the time).
    Thus when a bullshitter says that they are now taking home less because they have moved up to 40% tax rate it means that they are talking shite. They have revealed that they do not know the code (in this case the tax code ho ho), and are thus not in the group of 40% tax payers despite claiming that they are.
    Its a bit like selecting which infidels to execute based on whether or not they can recite certain verses from the koran..

    If the primary job is under the £43k limit – but the 2nd job takes you over, do you only pay the 40% on whatever you earn OVER £43K?

    Yes, this is a common shibooleth on earnings willy waving when people brag bullshit that they now, or did, earn less because they are on the higher tax rate..

    Further to my recent conversion on this thread, this is bad news.

    I have a bit of a strategy which ties in with this:
    1) he said he goes scouting in the day. Don’t give him any inmfo that points to you I make a point of not making it obvious I am cyclist or that there are bikes in the house.
    If I’m driving home with the bikes on the back and there is an unfamiliar face in the street – then i drive on and come back a few mins later.
    Never wash the bikes on the front drive.
    I prep the car and load bikes up at the last minute.
    Never leave cycle kit visible in the car or house.
    No stickers..
    2) Ground anchors and effen great almax chains.
    3) We have cctv front and back.

    My husband just had a set of wheels built by the Spokesman – Mark Pollard in Devon. excellent build and a very nice man. It is worth talking to him about rims as he can source them too, also does mail order.

    http://www.spokesmanwheels.co.uk/

    So you can source your own hubs and rims and he will build with your choice of spokes, or talk to him about what he can get hold of.

    K means made in not Japan-singapore, malaysia and korea I think.
    J Means made in Japan

    I imagine the quality is exactly the same.

    dbcooper

    exactly. The J makes old watches worth more, so people think new ones should have it too. It is a delusion that worked on me and cost me an extra 20 quid or something..
    But then if you were immune to all this branding, posing and bullshit you would just buy a 5.99 Al Qaiedi casio right?

    Personally even though I am not a “person of interest”, I am terrified of ever having anything to do with the cops, in my paranoid (but badly experienced) world I would suprised if your mum didn’t end up in custody too. But in theory this was the right thing to do..

    Sessioning is all about repeeting the same section of track so you learn stuff, and very handy it is too. You might hate it cuz the youngsters say it but it is rather useful. Is there another word to describe repooting the same bit again and again so you learn something?

    In factoloid a mate of mine refuses to ride the same ground twice and he is crap at jumps and c0orners and ruff stuff. SCIENCE FACT.
