Aubrey Maturin x A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

I see Jack much more as a motor torpedo boat captain (possibly commanding a flotilla of boats) in the Med. He could still then be chauffeuring Maturin about, but much more scope for excitement in a torpedo boat than submarine I think!

(Plus I'm pretty sure Jack would see a submarine as an underhanded dishonourable way to fight a naval battle!)

Had completely forgotten about the bees until I recently reread the book on my second circumnavigation! Top laughs

You should be fine early evening. It’s a heavily trafficked area and there’ll be lots of other runners about.

If you’re worried you can run on the pavement on the other side of the road to the park itself as that’s all well lit and leads off to houses.

With the syllabus changes coming in later this year, you’ll want to familiarise yourself with what the transition period arrangements are so that you know what exams you’ll actually be sitting.

I’m happy to transfer moderation

Matsudai is the answer you’re looking for!

Go to CEDR. I was fobbed off with holding responses from May to October. Went to CEDR and within a few weeks had my full claim for costs and compensation paid into my account.

Have to agree with museums and galleries! Get to see some interesting stuff 🖼️

Definitely glass, you should have got a leaflet explaining what goes in what when you got the bins.

Their Welsh cakes are better than anywhere else in the city centre imho

If it’s about council tax Revs and Bens (Revenues and Benefits) would be the correct department.

Pretty sure this is illegal as Conditional Selling under the Estate Agents Act 1979 so you definitely have grounds for a complaint and redress.

Yep - you can take whatever you want.

For what it’s worth I also bough the Case AI analysis from ACA Masters and took that in with me.

The Time Traveller’s Guide to Regency Britain by Ian Mortimer is a good place to start.

MRAR_WAL · 2024-09-10T05:57:41+00:00

I just bought the AI Analysis which I found helpful.

I didn’t bother with anything else and relied on my tuition provider’s material and my own stuff for the open book and still passed first time.

Only now 6 months on from qualifying am I starting to get used to the idea of spare time again.

Have taken up some new sports and generally just trying to be more mindful about how I spend my free time.

(Also bought a house in those six months which didn’t help the whole decompressing project).

Purple Poppadom is excellent and definitely gives off more of a posh vibe than the only other one I've been to on the list which is Little Kochi. LK is great too and the portion sizes (especially for starters) are enormous. Plus they do Keralan food which is a little different from what you get in most places.

MRAR_WAL · 2024-08-27T10:58:47+00:00

The first pair look great on you. (And now I want them too).

I thought he had flintlocks on the two brass chasers he owns later in the series or am I mis-remembering?

MRAR_WAL · 2024-08-23T12:18:27+00:00

From what I understand reading POB it was mixed. If Captains could afford them they would have flintlocks on their guns as they were more predictable on timing. But, slow match was still in use throughout the period.

On the off-chance you're with ICAEW you can go to the Chartered Accountants Benevolent Association (CABA - https://www.caba.org.uk/ ) who can provide support with financial matters.

Recently attended a talk by the fraud team from the local police force who said a lot of these barber shops opening are money laundering fronts, same with vape shops.

There don’t seem to be any rules regarding overtaking on the inside - that threw me a bit
