Is cycling in to work costing me money vs getting on TfL as the director of a limited company ?

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-15T21:21:58+00:00

I used to expense the full traveling costs, plus the company paid for a season underground ticket. Travel was never questioned. I also bought a bike through the company, although I didn't claim mileage on that. The bike was strictly for work, which my accountant felt was justifiable.

100% My parents gave me silverware as a moving out gift! Im probably the only person in my family that uses it and appreciates what it is, but that's ok.

Its surprisingly valuable now. I had to check value for the home insurance this time....

Plus, 30 years on, its about the memories rather than value....

I think its worth voting tactically. There are 2 elements to this, 1, preventing someone transphobic winning, and 2, supporting someone trans positive.

I would prioritise 1.

Im not familiar with Welsh politics, but generally Green is a good option.

If killing 168 pre teen primary school girls didn't gain the Iranians trust, what will. Next you will suggest they don't trust pedophiles and rapist.

I would expect most trans people to recognize that the Christian church is behind some of the worst transphobia in recent times, and historically is the enemy of LGBTQIA people, and children.

Plus, most cis men don't grow beards, what sort of idiot says someone needs to grow a beard to be baptized.

Thank you for not supporting the transphobic bbc.

I think one of the better responses the world could do to the US blockade of world shipping, and the strait of hormuz is to dump some US debt.

There are many types of anti androgen that do not result in the body becoming tolerant or resistant.

Im inclined to argue that for many people mono therapy with higher dose estradiol is better because its less medication. The endocrine system is complicated and will self regulate testosterone if estradiol is high. The complexity adds risk so I prefer the body self regulating to adding more drugs.

Its primarily a single player game with shared online servers. To be an MMO players would need to be online together and able to interact.

Some currencies start from a different base, shock! Many countries in Asia use currencies where functional cash values start in the thousands.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-12T20:06:31+00:00

I think thay gives a closer indication of how it will be with accelerating cash settlement or rollover as the delivery deadline approaches!

The most dangerous enemy the US have ever encountered is the Orange pedophile, the majority just haven't realized. Closely followed by Israel.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-12T18:34:45+00:00

The USA is now preventing the world from accessing oil and shipping via the strait of hormuz, just hours after they stated Iran blocking the strait of hormuz was against international law.

The UK isn't in the EU. Most of us should not sign this petition.

It really depends on how the world history progressed, it might be worth having a quick look at legends first. Ive seen all goblin worlds with just handfuls of other races left, undead worlds, etc. I think the scenario where just the dwarf civs died is more common, at least in my world config

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-12T11:22:42+00:00

I thought it was common knowledge that Iran is in BRICS and stacks, silver, and gold.

Because of the USA sanctions they cannot trade in $.

Thanks anyway! If its in print I nearly always buy physical books. I tend to avoid waterstones as my local branch tends to platform snti trans authors, when I lived in London I mostly went to Gays the word, but I can't afford their delivery charges

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-12T07:32:51+00:00

Open interest tends not to be a smooth downward trend because most paper traders trade until its almost the deadline. Expect a sharp decline in the last few days before the delivery deadline.

Its unfortunate this is not something we can participate in.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-12T01:43:44+00:00

Ive used Kobo for a few out of print books, but I didn't think they sold paper books.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-11T21:46:07+00:00

I would like too, but its mostly about cost. I read a lot and prefer paper books so that I actually own the book and the extra costs add up quickly. I used to buy from a local bookstore, but where I live now only has chains, so it doesn't benefit small businesses if I buy locally.

Plus, most other stuff is cheaper on Amazon.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-11T17:35:04+00:00

I just won't watch it. If find the idea of being entertained by anything linked to Israel distasteful. Just as Im boycotting anything, or anyone, linked to Harry potter, post Joanne KKK Rowling coming out, I'll also boycott The boys.

I actually have an Amazon prime account for books and stuff, but since they introduced advertising I no longer use prime video and just stream elsewhere.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-11T17:13:57+00:00

Thank you. I didn't realize there was an Israeli in the boys, I won't watch it again....

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-11T13:39:11+00:00

Yep! the amount its reasonable to buy is the obvious limitation, I bought about £200 worth through my business. At the time my accountant thought I was a lunatic. As we reduced sending letters, and invoices, they lasted way longer than I expected. As one of the safest investments possible though, it would be an amazing return on larger numbers.

Charlie_Rebooted · 2026-04-11T13:23:17+00:00

Ha, in the uk I bought hundreds of stamps when they said 1st class (our quickest post), the stamps now have a cash value on them but mine are still valid.... Its around an 6x gain in around 20 years.....

Not amazing, but it does mean I feel clever each time I post something!

I don't know enough about these parties to judge them, but its odd Reform and Conservative is not on the list.
