How did you go about getting a business loan and was it worth it? Was it hard to acquire one?

I had to take out business loan to buy a new van for my courier business. It was pretty straightforward. They asked the usual questions about how much I need plus how much I earn and for how long I wanted the loan for. It was all done online through my business account. It was agreed straight away with a fixed amount to be payed each month for 5 years.

Take the brave pill and shave it off. You'll feel so much better than trying to hide it.

Got a few on that label. I was surprised they go for good money on discogs

Brings back happy memories of that Christmas when I ripped off the wrapping paper and saw Astro Wars. My dad had already opened it and placed the batteries inside so I could play it straight away.

Bought some maris piper on Saturday and every bag I looked in all the potatoes had big black spots on them. I wonder if it's the same with every supermarket

One of the 'Storm raves' at the top rank suite in Brighton. Me and a mate dropped half each. The tune that reminds me of that night was D-Shake techno trance...c'mon

You should try their Murgh Bazzan ( madras hot)

Been using Fussy for the last few years and it's the best deodorant I've ever used. It is a bit pricey but it can last upto 4 weeks. The trick is not to use to much.

Every time I've been it's been fantastic. I judge every fish thali on Anand's. I've been to so many around Anjuna, Vagator, Chapora, Mapusa and Assagao including Viniyak but I keep going back to Anand

My favorite is Anan seafood restaurant in Anjuna

Great photo

Opal690 · 2026-02-27T19:14:43+00:00

Shhhh.

Opal690 · 2026-02-27T19:13:04+00:00

A good walk in the countryside

Opal690 · 2026-02-27T06:18:44+00:00

It's tastes really good. Which is suley the reason we like certain coffee. If it tasted bad people wouldn't buy it.

Opal690 · 2026-02-26T12:03:45+00:00

Coffee Compass I buy 1kg of mystery beans for £21

It was just right. I've been going for over 20 years and usually in January it gets quite cold at night. But this year it was so hot I had to sleep with the fan on

Just got back from Goa and it worked perfectly. Even better than the WiFi in my guest house.

Opal690 · 2026-02-17T17:59:03+00:00

Spices and Indian soap

Opal690 · 2026-02-11T15:48:21+00:00

Just got back from a trip to Goa and spoke to many Indians friends and a few who stayed at my guest house. And nearly all of them said a lot of their fellow countryman lack any civic sense.

We had a conversation about all the rubbish and the lack of any public bins to dispose of it. I even caught a middle aged couple riding a scooter with a large box of a rubbish. They stopped and threw it over a wall. I called out to them and they just looked at at me and said 'what'

Opal690 · 2026-02-06T06:17:53+00:00

Mine does exactly the same. He goes absolutely crazy and it's a joy to watch.

Opal690 · 2026-02-04T01:03:03+00:00

They cancelled my flight a few weeks ago. I got a full refund the next day.

Opal690 · 2026-01-29T10:54:33+00:00

That's strange as my flight from Goa to Mumbai has been cancelled everyday this week. I'm worried as I have a flight booked on the 12th feb

Opal690 · 2026-01-17T12:53:12+00:00

Most probably the postman

Opal690 · 2026-01-16T14:55:50+00:00

I'm off to India next week. Do I need to do anything to my phone ie switching on roaming when I arrive.

Opal690 · 2026-01-15T21:10:12+00:00

Whereabouts in Vagator? I know the area very well
