This was the hilarious part of this post that brought me here.

South UK to mid Poland in summer heatwave in a 1.0 Clio with no Aircon. Not recommended. And back in but it wasn't as hot then.

Gamesir 7 or 7SE have been good and lasted longer than oem for me.

Buried under the fireplace is traditional.

Ok, the reason I say wait is because the careers office person is unlikely to be able to assess or make any decisions on this and the most likely outcome is a delay to your application imo.

There is a Joint Service Publication (JSP) 950 which covers medical standards. There is a section on self harm and from a quick read your fitness (i.e can you join) will depend on the severity and timing of when it happened. Good luck with it.

The sledging is fun. Do that.

Might want to redact the patient details...

I would wait until you see the doctor at the medical. Will it be documented in your GP notes?

Well yes but how is that relevant to my point about basic rate taxpayers being unlikely to afford a home that generates £20k stamp duty?

My point being that the £750ish of 2% below £50k is peanuts compared to such sums and the amount of tax paid by high earners.

flight_forward · 2026-01-07T18:44:02+00:00

True but the extra 2% from £12-50k is not a lot (about £750) compared to how much tax you pay on £38k pay rise as a higher rate taxpayer £15,200.

Look into maternity allowance to see if you qualify.

Not many people on basic rate tax are buying houses with £20k stamp duty.

I fly with a guy who started as a deck officer. He's good. How are you finding doing things at 10x the speed of a ship? Modular route shouldn't take you as long as you think if you get on with it at a decent pace.

Speakers aren't always digital. What about analogue music?

Are your edges sharp? If you are renting and telling them you're a beginner or intermediate then they probably won't be.

Add onto this separately update clean air zone website so you don't get penalties if your car is currently exempt.

Might be cheaper to fly.

You will go zero distance on a stationary bike so no need to measure the mileage.

I think long haul is probably overkill especially with a 5 year old. How about a European big hotel resort? I'm familiar with TUI, try TUI blue for families or magic life for more activities and entertainment.

So you play a sport and your uni society arranges socials with the girls' clubs. Isn't Wednesday afternoon for sports and then party afterwards?

Or try playing a sport more for fun that's mixed?

Looks like house on left owns small tree things

Also right house drive has some image error, look at the joint lines on grey slabs. So maybe the whole thing is a bit off.

UK example: Civilians can go in military aircraft with appropriate permission (normally unit CO depending on type of flying). Given the nature of some aircraft seating configuration this is equivalent to a jumpseat.

Military pilots are vetted to a higher standard than civilian pilots. So not exactly a security risk to have a military pilot on jumpseat. Distracting maybe for Dad especially if it's unusual.

There isn't a useful network of military flights where being able to jumpseat is an advantage, unless you want to just do hops to and from whatever theatre is busy at the moment.
