There was something on the site I read earlier stating Experian have scrapped this due to pressure from MSE and the likes. It’s 3rd link down on the news thing as I type this.

Big Brother is watching you. The control of the people. Paranoia rules, OK? Even typing this I wonder if the internet police are checking it out.

My penny worth. With cuts in welfare spending, allowing the most frightening gap between the rich and the poor, the recent riots are going to be a walk in the park. I said in another thread, the grey vote is powerful, yet believe me you, they were not happy on tv today.

I watched " The Iron Lady". Never realised how violent the poll tax riots were. I did a fund raising gig for the miners strike. Remember the dreadful scenes of the clashed there. If so many of our kids were not glued to Facebook, PS3s and smoking skunk then maybe their voices would be heard. I despair ( but still love ) some of my young `uns in my family and their crazy values.

Anyway, although I say it myself, I cooked a great tandoori lamb, a Southern Indian tomato and onion dish with rice tonight.

Serious, fry the corned beef hash and have it on toast, it's all about carb combinations and saturated fat.

That needs baked beans with it .... and maybe some grated cheddar on top.

Followed by a fag.

Use of home as office = a few hundred? Capital depreciation on your PC? Broadband?

Well, use of home office could be £25/month tops. No capital depreciation on the PC as it's too old. Broadband, probably £5/month.

Hardly worth doing the paperwork is it.

make sure you claim back the 20% tax that will have been deducted at source on bank interest then (assuming you're not already receiving it gross).

That happens automatically in the tax return as you type in your interest etc.... and then it does the calculations. Although interest on savings is about 2/5d a year.

The sort of loon who repeatedly asks her partner to not to put stuff in the pockets on the floor,.....as that becomes washing terratory.

Anyway, what sort of loon leaves their passport in their jeans pocket?

Infact, pockets are not my bugbear, mine is that annoying thing men do of somehow balling their socks up in their pants so that every now and then a black sock sneaks into the wrong wash in pants. It drives me up the wall. I could almost understand it if they needed to keep a sock in their pants all day, but the nes i have washed for never did, and yet still always ...socks and pants in a bundle. Women would never do it.

When I went into a share... VERY briefly after what happened.... I paid my rent early as the bailiffs were at the door and she had no way to pay them off... and they came back a week later for the balance and I paid that too. Started looking for my own place right after that.
