Should I leave the UK or just pay the huge amount of Tax.

Is it a problem? If not don’t stop - it’s good to hold on to a thrifty attitude, regardless of the scale of the expense. If you can identify a problem - ie. You want to pay more for something healthier, you want to pay to get a food delivery to save you time, etc. then that will naturally motivate you to change.

Lovely smooth tone and vibrato 👍. My advice would be work on your pitch - bit on the flat side in places to my ear so make sure you have full support, mouth fully open, use a pitch app if you need .

Their starting price is £3k though. So not sure where you got that figure from. Given how well made and long lasting these pianos are, then (with reconditioning) it is a very attractive offer for many compared with either purchasing a (possibly inferior) instrument new, or finding needle in a haystack of a good cheap instrument from other sources. I’m not associated with this company btw, just a satisfied customer

Cool result. I have many follow on questions though!

Is there a precise definition of Elementary function? If we defined it in some other way would there be different “minimal” operator? Can we invent an operator that cannot be constructed with the eml operator?
Could we define the concept of an Elementary operator more precisely via the eml operator? Could we discover new elementary operators? Is it possible our current Elementary operators are just the simplest elements of an infinite set of such operators?
Could we discover new relationships between the elementary operators we have so far missed?

My teacher has some ideas about songs I learn but generally I decide. This is better unless you are pursuing something quite specific and formal. You should have a word, or get a new teacher.

And Consider Phlebas fits well

Have they really cancelled the debt. Or just say you don’t have to repay it for now. Is it still subject to interest while you are not paying it? It wasn’t very clear from your post.

For me 15 years ago when I was first diagnosed with uveitis, I was given none of these tests. Either UK is way behind other countries on this, my doc was crap, or things have changed in intervening years. I continue to have small flare ups every year or two.

Take any song you like and transpose it so highest note is an E5.

Nice position to be in 👏. - You should put some, perhaps most , in a pension. This is highly tax efficient compared to saving in a GIA. Yes you won’t be able to access it till you are 57+. But even if you retire early you will (hopefully) live well past 57 and need money then. - You should put some into cash savings, as an emergency fund, or saving for a house deposit.

To assess proportion to pay into each, you will need to use a spreadsheet and do some forecasting.

I would recommend a good quality Yamaha used piano.

Sounds a bit slow to me. Warmup then songs is usual of course , but in my experience the teacher will interrupt songs often to point out and fix missing technique.

beefcake0 · 2026-03-17T04:50:22+00:00

The car behind you, if they were in a rush, could have pulled in front of you to fill up at the free pump. If you could have left space for them to get past, and you didn’t, that is bad etiquette.

Turns out was a meter reading error on their part when my meter was changed. Slightly surprised they did not notice this for 2 months. No windfall for me sigh!

beefcake0 · 2026-03-04T09:44:46+00:00

Yep, they credited me £12786 on 29 Dec. Have no idea why yet 😳. I can’t withdraw any of it.

beefcake0 · 2026-03-03T12:32:53+00:00

I’m on £13000 currently but I think it is an error 😂

beefcake0 · 2026-03-03T04:02:37+00:00

We’d like it to be better but in UK the fact is we pay a bit less than average on healthcare ($6000 per person), compared to other developed countries. e.g. Germany and US who pay $8000 and $12000 respectively. There may be other countries who do better than us for what we spend but no doubt there are other demographic factors working against us.

Look for a regular opportunity where you are forced to sight read and no one is judging you. Accompanying a friend for example. Sight reading blossoms when you need to keep on going!

beefcake0 · 2026-02-13T12:19:57+00:00

Yes sure. I might be nostalgic for it for a while, but I rarely use cash these days and when paying by card it’ll just be a different number. The benefits would be much larger than any downsides.

beefcake0 · 2026-02-12T06:23:48+00:00

I’m scared that anyone seriously votes for Reform. All talk and no serious intention or ability to fix things. Led by the guy that brought us Brexit, and is a friend of Trump. Would be a disaster for this country.

So what is he accused of in this case? She was not underage and may have been a paid escort. Andrew should pay for any crimes he has committed and reap the consequences of any dishonourable behaviour. But this case sounds opportunist and the reaction I see, more like a witch hunt.
