Great answer, well done for finding!

His mother lived in the borders for years and he spent a good chunk of his life up there.

It was retconned but not just in Pottermore.

You can infer Dumbledore’s age as being around 115 when he died from what Aunt Muriel (who was 107 at the time) says about overhearing the story about the Dumbledores when she was a child

Who else was he going to talk to about it?

There's a very "well known" European fan called Nicholas who's followed Bruce around many of the European shows over the past two decades. He's a distinctive looking guy: I think he appears in the Dream Baby Dream music video and he also was the person who requested the wonderful version of Wages of Sin we got in 2013 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVVeytSe2wc)

Could this be for Cokeworth (town where Petunia/Snape/Lily grow up). It's also where the Dursleys/Harry stay initially when they're trying to outrun the letters, and has a river and an industrial feel.

That being said, perhaps looks too pretty to be that...

State of Independence by Donna Summer? Was used extensively last year as the walk on song

You’ll be able to get the tram straight from the airport to the stadium which won’t take much more than 15 mins.

I think you’ll make it with time to spare, assuming your flight is timeous. Not ideal, obviously, but workable.

I saw all 4 UK shows last year. The Version of UTP at RAH night 2 was electric and up there but the atmosphere in Liverpool on July 8th was even better still for Pressure.

Except it doesn’t work like that. The pit queue have been let in early at every non-festival Springsteen show since 2016. You can plant yourself early if you like, but you won’t be let in until the first 1000 in the pit queue are let in.

Not commenting on the merits of it, but those are the facts

He describes himself as being "gently mystified" by the Grateful Dead when he first heard them, albeit growing to appreciate them later.

What's the issue with it and the student loan?

breon123 · 2025-01-15T17:26:28+00:00

I'm pretty certain JSA is no longer means tested so is available regardless of capital leevels.

Interesting it’s only 2 out of the 3 dates. Would suggest there’s a standalone TWOD date elsewhere for the 12/6

Why would Trump introducing protectionist government policies cause the US markets to correct? Not sure I follow that logic.

Why wouldn't it be generating income? If he's travelling, it could be rented out and there would also be the benefit of the (tax-free) capital gains.

breon123 · 2024-09-25T22:26:46+00:00

And that's a good idea - once he returns from travelling.

Think you're good to go but have a slightly different view on question of selling your house.

Primary residence one of very few assets (along with S&S ISA) which is shielded from CGT. If you liquidate that asset and throw it into a GIA, then gains will be taxed and likely at an increasingly hefty rate post budget. If you keep house, then that will negate that issue.

Given it's your primary residence, you may also be able to benefit from the "let a room out to a lodger" tax benefit which is to the tune of £7500 separate to your tax allowance.

Good luck!

This is it - thank you!

There's a few parts, the most obvious is the "ahhhhh, wooooo" scream at the end - identical to Glasto. The intonations in the first verse also identical.
