Yeah, lets devalue the property market. That’ll do wonders for the economy.

Actually yes it will, funny thing is people with have a lot of money to spend and start new businesses if all their money is not tied up paying someone else’s interest only mortgage.

Yes let’s keep inflating the housing market, what could go possible go wrong when we have generations of people trapped with crazy high rents their entire lives.

just found out that your money put aside to pay your tax bill is treated as savings for universal credit – so not eligible for that either.

8 months self employed here – so no support at all. Many self employed and PAYE with salaries 2, 3 times the average income will be given up to £7500, some who have had no loss of income.

Why are the most vulnerable being forgotten about ?

Like everything the government plan to shut schools when no one turns up…

I took my kids out of school yesterday.

There is lots we can do. We should be buying up any company that could be repurposed to make medical supplies and start building temporary hospitals.

There will be many restrictions soon, but the idea that you can sit locked up and wait it out is clearly not realistic.

There are a lot of people feeling a huge amount of pressure to be seen to be doing something, anything – this explains a lot of extreme measures we see in other countries.

It is not being allowed to happen, it is going to happen regardless of what measures you take. They locked down China and within weeks it is in every country. This is the cold hard truth that most people can not accept.

Second hand thinkpad x1 carbon. Proper build quality.

Make a list and then do one and only one off it day. It really is that easy.

I do this at work and simply go home when I achieve my daily goal.

Leave it as long as possible, your kids have the rest of their lives to be slouched over, bathed in blue light. If your kids are actively using their minds, they will have no trouble working out how to paw a screen when they are older.

You really want at least a late 2012 27inch. These have the easy to upgrade ram hatch (up to 32gb) and thunderbolt 1 port for external ssd boot drive or ideally replace the internal hard drive with ssd. You can upgrade this to the latest osx and it will be more than powerful enough for your needs. The screen is no retina, but still very nice which means the computer has to work less hard.

Rode my first ebike today, 4000ft up an Austrian mountain – hilariously effortless, those that claim it is some form of exercise are seriously deluded.

thanks everyone, going to speak with ACAS. It’s possible my boss was simply unaware that I am owed redundancy, pretty clueless in general, hence the company is in trouble.

@theotherjon

But surely that is not legal? It would be slightly more than redundancy pay, but obviously I would be working for it!

Does feel that way, they have put a total at the end of the letter, but it’s for work I have to do, so not really a redundancy. I will be going freelance and don’t want to burn any bridges, but I guess I need to remind then of my legal rights.

Ebay used to be great, but it seems like the money back guarantee and not being able to leave negative feedback on buyers has killed the marketplace.

Last three sales have all had some hassle.

they closed it in my favour – they can’t return the frame.

Shipping to a different address and collection only are not covered by the money back guarantee, which is why they closed the case.

They froze my PayPal account for 2 weeks and were going to issue a refund,

You have to be so careful now, listed with:

– no returns
– collection only
– remove PayPal as a payment option
– be very descriptive about item condition

thanks Kerley, I phoned and they have closed the case within 5 mins!

they were posing as a uk buyer.

He says the colour is faded…

How can I be liable for postage? Just read the email again and it says they will refund original postage as well! So I will be out £60 and might not get anything returned to me.

Yeah, probably was a little harsh – just wondering if they would be better off using all funds to lobby government to make cycling inferstructure mandatory on new works, rather than putting up 1000s of blue signs

Plenty of industries where if you turned up in suit you would not get the job. Can’t really go wrong with chinos and a casual shirt.

But you can get plastic that is recycled and 100% recyclable with less weight which means less co2 footprint… but this is a hard sell with the current stigma attached to all plastics.

My point about printing onto the glass is would this not make it harder for them to recycle as it would no longer be clear?

great link, thanks. Sounds like glass is a pretty good option. I wonder how we can make it easier to recycle? – no sticker to remove? or would printing directly on to the jar mean it can’t be recycled ?

interesting – but doubt the client would be happy with not being able to see the colour of the honey.

hopefully – but struggling to find anything.

while some comments are valid – a lot of what is going on here is some people just can’t handle change on any kind.

so should just follow gold prices with very small changes in price over time? Unless people get caught up in the hype of crypto and drive the price of gold up?

The royal mint just announced a gold backed cryptocurrency , so presumably means something…

How does everyone feel about crypto currency backed by gold ?

^ simple

What CMS does  singletrack use? Would be better archiving the old forum and starting new with something like discourse.

Good improvements, but I do find the new type size hard to read! Why no zoom on phone?

This is easy: the people that don’t see the racism are racist for not seeing the racism. The people that do see the racism are racist for seeing it as racist.

How long are people showering for?

4min once a day in the morning.

I requested the freelance work clause in the contract as a condition of joining (and relocating).

What would you do if she ever says “no more freelance work”?

quit.

Own equipment, no relationship with company.

I think the issue is because it was with someone in the office. Legally I think i am fine, but have I done something wrong ethically? I was really surprised by her reaction

Ok sounds like I should have cleared it with her first out of courtesy. Going to be a pain as I do a lot of freelance work and too be honest I don’t feel I need her approval…

The job was small, for a mate of the freelancer. It is not a job the company could have done due to the tiny budget.

All freelance work done outside the company. I do 4 days a week so I can do other work

Maybe this will help explain why this winds me up so much.

My son gets £1 pocket money a week (from said grandparents) he wanted a lego technic set, I said no. So he cut out the picture from the Argos book and waited for 25 weeks until he handed over all his cash to a bemused shop assistant.

Two days later grandparents arrive with two much larger sets. So the set he’s been thinking on for months gets left half finished.
