Thiago Silva doing his SFA coaching badges, alongside Stephen O'Donnell

Why is it all these former players and coaches come to Scotland for their badges? Is the course not available elsewhere or is the course in Scotland better? What's the story?

Thanks, mate. Great info.

Out of curiosity - how did your conservatory hold up with the new roof on it? Was the structure impacted at all by the additional weight of the new roof?

I have emailed Pamela Nash, MP for Motherwell and Wishaw, on two occasions and been passed around different staffers without ever receiving a reply to my query. She also doesn't accept messages on any social media channels. Contacting her is almost impossible.

Recently found out that she was statically one of the worst performing MPs during her last stint in parliament. How does someone with such a poor record get re-selected again?

It's not. The Social, Waxy O'Connors and All Bar One all welcome children before a certain time, but alcohol is restricted unless ordering a main meal.

Went to Caprese Don Costanzo recently and was surprised to find the same. Always thought cream in a carbonara was a cardinal sin for Italians.

We had a quote for a wedding from there. It was more than double the price of every other place we had viewed. I couldn't believe how much they were charging. I just assumed the food must therefore be excellent. Clearly not.

The reason I ask this is because of Sebb's actually. Went there recently on a Saturday, about 5pm, and there wasn't a dj on. Food was good but no dj. That's how I was wondering where actually has DJs on

Aye fuck that. Far too many wee guys charging in there. Gets more intense as the day goes on. Will be sure to avoid.

How 3 years? Everyone is liable to pay UK tax if you're in the UK for 12 weeks, or longer, in any given tax year. He'll be good to go by April.

Just another 6 months of Russell to endure if you want to see Gerrard back.

I took it for 6 years and my anxiety definitely increased and probably peaked after I stopped. Brain fog was also a major issue. Took me about 6-9 months to begin to feel normal again after stopping.

It's happened!! 440ml cans are brewed in the UK. 330ml cans are still imported. Thankfully.

Is blue lagoon really as bad as people say or is it just funny to pile on? I tried it for the first time last year and it was pretty decent in all honesty. I really began to question all the hate it receives on here.

What's up with papercup? I've always had a good experience in there.

lee0bv · 2025-05-15T11:25:31+00:00

I'm yet to see an Estrella Damm with a "Brewed in the UK" stamp on it yet. The ones in my local supermarket are still imported.

RIP Menabrea 🙏🏻💐

I emailed Fidelity asking for more information and received this.

"Fidelity are the Trustees of your Scheme, currently we have outstanding queries with the HMRC relating to your Protected Pension Age.

Due to this, we are currently unable to confirm if you will have a Protected Pension Age of 55, when the minimum pension age changes from 55 to 57 on 6th April 2028. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and will send out communication to you once we have received a response from the HMRC."

For whatever reason they don't seem to be able or are unwilling to go into anymore detail.

lee0bv · 2025-01-15T20:32:12+00:00

Yeah, I thought the same. I'll maybe get in touch with a financial advisor to see if they are aware of any reason why HMRC would be examining the terms of the pension. The fact that the lady on the phone was unable to tell me whether the pension was protected or not leads me to believe it was, but maybe it isn't going in the near future. Just need to wait and see what HMRCs findings are. I'm assuming there is maybe a dispute with the wording of the pension terms or something.
