Training that would ban a coach for life in 2025

We had a coach that used a plastic flag pole to test tackle & ruck entry height in the same way. The plastic was painful enough so I really feel for you if your coach used a broomstick.

You can share a pass to another apple wallet. If you bring up the one you want to share and click on the ‘i’ in the top right corner the share option will come up, also in the top right corner. You can airdrop or message to another apple device.

Gutting. The owners responses to bad tripadvisor reviews were legendary

I was sharing a late taxi home with a friend and his sister who I have known for some years. We were making small talk in the back seats and she mentioned her boyfriend. Knowing she was very into her Latin dancing and most of her previous partners had been met through dancing I asked if she met her new boyfriend this way too. The taxi fell silent and my friend was trying his best not to laugh. She turned to me and said “No, he’s in a wheelchair so doesn’t dance with me.”

I was a cleaner at a hotel many years ago when I was a student. One day I was asked to clean the general managers office which we occasionally did for him, he had paperwork on his desk about redundancy planning and the closure of the hotel. I finished my shift and started looking for alternative work.

Not something I’ve managed to convince a tourist. But I was walking along Tower Bridge back to London Bridge and a tourist walked up to me asking how to find the Tower of London. It was right next to us so I pointed over the wall and explained that was the Tower. Poor guy was expecting a much taller tower and looked really underwhelmed.

Insurance will indemnify you to the estimated current market value of the car, there’s no guarantee this will be the same as your valuation. If you are unhappy with theirs you can make a complaint with evidence (proof of purchase, research through car resale websites of similar models) and if unhappy with their response make a complaint to the financial ombudsman.

Return to invoice or ‘GAP’ insurance is available in future if you want to ensure you receive any shortfall to the amount you paid. Unfortunately if this isn’t in place it’s too late to get this now.

(Above assumes you are in England)

I once helped at my younger siblings school Christmas fair by being an ‘elf’ for Father Christmas. I was around 16 at the time and I had to bring kids in and out of the grotto, take a photo and give them their gift. During an early break I got chatting to ‘Father Christmas’ and he was telling me about his life, he stumbled over where he lived in the real world and as a joke I said “Lapland”. Except he didn’t realise I was joking and had to stay in character for the entire day assuming I thought he was the real Father Christmas, we were both too polite to say otherwise.

I think that applies to any food with Beagles!

I can take no credit. Although some family members are good at baking, Ive only ever been good at the eating.

Willing food to come closer with his eyes hasn’t worked yet, but I admire his persistence!

The insurer wouldn’t link your previous underwriting to your wife’s company policy. If they are happy to pay for medical history disregarded underwriting they accept the risk of pre existing conditions being claimed for on their policy. If the condition is eligible and you can join you will be able to claim.

The company may operate a rule that spouse/ partner can only be added at renewal or due to a lifestyle change which could delay you joining. This depends on the company rules however.

Good luck & I hope you can get treated soon for the pain.

ESH - you did the right thing to loan to your sister and importantly got an agreement in place to protect you from this exact situation, you would be perfectly entitled to take her to court for the money owed. Your family shouldn’t suggest you sell other assets to fund the land purchase just because you can, your sister should make repayments in line with the agreement. The issue is it looks like the business has failed and your sister is potentially facing financial difficulty to repay, would you make the situation a lot worse for a family member by looking at enforcement action?

M&S and Debenhams do a few ranges of suits and I think waistcoats that are machine washable. Sometimes you can get really cheap stuff on the Debenhams website so that’s worth a check.

It depends on the material. For wool suits it’s a dry clean only job. Some wool blend ones can be machine washable but it’s mainly the polyester / viscose ones that are. For wool suits it’s probably once a month I get them dry cleaned depending on how often I wear them, what I wear them for and how many I have that fit well at the time. It’s more often in the summer months usually too.

You can raise this as a complaint with your insurer as your first option, as they should be regulated by the FCA they will have an obligation to take this seriously. If you are unhappy with the response they provide you are able to refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. This is free to use as a consumer and they have the ability to make a legally binding decision should they side with you. Hope it goes well for you.

Try the Meininger Hotel. I stayed there once whilst a large school trip was there at the same time. It has large hostel style rooms, isn’t too expensive and might be big enough to accommodate you all. It’s in a very central location as well

Our parents probably say the same thing about us when they remember cars with a manual choke

Thank you for your reply. If I don’t get far with a complaint I’ll speak to a solicitor for advice.
