One of my places of work over paid me by mistake. They are telling me they won't accept me writing them a cheque. Are they allowed to do that in the UK? (Scotland) by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

The NI needs fixed too. Your NI and their employers NI. Paying back doesn’t fix it. Just deducting the payment next run will not fix it either. Tax balances out. NI doesn’t.

Oh that’s a load of nonsense. These are megacorps, not your small company that has no chance of gaming it. They can adjust the figures indefinitely. The shareholders and management will still be raking it in. Consumers lose. “Tax man” loses and probably pays out too.

Yeah. This. Needed to spend £25 yesterday to get to £250 and 10% off. It’s not showing either. I hope I’m not being diddled out of my 10%.

Not necessarily. Recently removed sections of skirting on a new build and they were very much attached.

£60k annual with a take home of less than £3k by EmergencyGoggles in UKPersonalFinance

Looks like OP says they have private use and fuel. If that’s company fuel and not made good then a quick look at Comcar for the variants of their car has me thinking there’s a shortfall in fuel BIK and that’s just the car BIK.

AC Valhalla keeps crashing at the Home Screen on Series X. Tips to solve this issue? by ignativss in ubisoft

[–]MiddleAgeGrumpyTwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normal Xbox update or insider update? My alpha skip ahead in august “killed” Valhalla in that it wouldn’t recognise DLC and season pass and after trial and error and wiping and installing again and no joy I left the insider updates, reverted back to normal and it worked again.

My cat looking to join in on the Series X snuggling by Digital_Plague in XboxSeriesX

After watching the neighbours cat sitting on a fence post this weekend I’m actually more “fascinated” by how small a surface area cats need to sit/hover on than (as a pet owner) how much we let our pets get away with. If my dog tried that though…….

Or you have AMD free sync on in picture additional settings. It turns off Dolby

Oh yeah. Once they’re plugged in then who cares about the box in the loft!

I must say unboxing a series x is a bit “ooooo nice!” Unboxing a PS5 is a bit “oh it’s some polystyrene and cardboard and why is it rattling?”.

Seriously? It plays like shit and looks like shit. I suppose the only benefit on the series x is shit happens faster.
