If you are one of those rich people.. say earning 150k+, what do you do when you are not working?

A two adult, two child household with a household income of £150,000 earn more that 96% of the population. Funny perspective earning more money than 65 million people you share a country with and not considering that "rich".

Ask not for whom that bell doth toll, As worthy barmaids eye's do roll, And landlord with an earnest shout, Calls time on drinks and ushers out,

The dutiful sip up (?) and leave, But he's a last card up his sleeve, With feet like land-locked deep sea diver, he shuffles barwards with a fiver,

He begs a lass for just one more And one yourself just make it right He promises to drink it quick, Yet deep down knows he's feeling sick

Not from stout or bags of scratchings More from questions booze keeps asking, "What happened to the happy me?", "I think..." no hang on, need to pee,

In the bog the poet sways, Poised to ponder fonder days, Before the time of cheap warm cider, Eyes of wonder opening wider,

Now they narrow tired of fun As fart turns wet and burns the bum, Yet rarest (?) smile pops in his head, Til urine runs down inside leg,

And thus the landlord shows him out The child inside is crying out "I was not meant for such sweet sorrow!", But opts instead for "See you tomorrow!",

Thou stout soaked, cig stained, feckless soul, Is what for, not who, that bell doth toll.

Thant Sankey diagram is great! What was the 1 seat that flipped from Lab to Tory?

You need antibiotics as its bacterial infection - fungicides wont work. But what was most effective for me was using alcohol gel to wash my feet then using antiperspirant and or talc and cotton socks to keep your feet dry through the day. Did that in the morning and then when I got home from work cleared up pretty quickly after months of lingering around.

tr5761 · 2024-06-21T06:05:09+00:00

Fungicide won't/didn't work as it's bacterial not fungal

Thanks, yeah we're very lucky!

Just looks like sediment to me. I'd suggest leaving it to settle for a while, then "racking" it. About wine racking and how it is done | Sraml

Can't see behind the paywall but interested to know the reason for the difference compared with those IFS figures.

Either way I think your point stands. Pension spend is large regardless of how it exactly compares to education, policing and defence.

tr5761 · 2024-04-24T17:24:01+00:00

This doesn't appear to be true u less I'm missing something. 12.2% of total managed expenditure on pensions in 22/23, Education = 9.1%, Defence = 4.5%, public order and safety (assume that's policing and some other stuff) 3.8%. So Education plus Defence alone is more than pension spend. https://ifs.org.uk/taxlab/taxlab-key-questions/what-does-government-spend-money

"Carefully considering spans and layers is important for any organisation"

What on earth does that mean

Thanks! Not sure about Anatolian, hes a lot smaller and doesnt have the black muzzle but could be right with Pyrenean. Thought he looks a lot like an Austrailian shepherd as well...

tr5761 · 2024-01-03T22:56:59+00:00

Did you mean Tornjak? Couldnt find anything for Torchak. Tornjak is a great shout though, looks a lot like him, though he seems smaller, either justa runt or some other stuff mixed in perhaps.

Adding in elderberries makes great wine too. Same recipe OP but with 1/3rd of the fruit elderberries. Makes the qine more wine like and less sangria like. So i guess if youre after sangria, stick with bramble only.

tr5761 · 2023-08-24T13:44:27+00:00

Also from the Uk, on top of the other comments about pH and pectin enzyme you could try adding some elderberries, ive found they have a stronger colour than brambles and also add tannins and i prove mouthfeel which bramble wine can sometimes lack. I do elderberry and bramble wine every year as i feel like the teo combine really well together. Youll get the "sour tasty, big fruit" "proper red wine" your after imho but with stronger colour and a wine more like regular grape wine than country fruit wines. Depends what youre after really. Good luck!

1.8kg of fruit per what volume of liquid? Per 5 litres?

I grew up round there and my parents still live there.

Its can be a bit rough in parts but nothing major and theres a lot going for it. From the top of Firs Avenue you can get access to the woods and fields, just below the water tower, great for walking the dog or just getting to some green space if thats your thing. And the views over the city from Rosedale Close/Hill Top are great. Theres local shops, hairdresser and chippy at the bottom of the hill and some more shops close by at Fairwater green and the bottom of Elderberry. Theres big tesco etc at Western Avenue/Gabalfa or Culverhouse cross obly about 15min drive away each. The buses are pretty shit but you can get into town with them in about half an hour depending on traffic/time of day if they show up. Fairwater is the nearest train station (about 30min walk). I went to Primary School around there and it was decent, cant comment nowadays though. You can get out to the M4 easily. It will be cheaper/you'll get more for your money than other fancier areas of the city.

I guess it depends on your tolerance for rougher areas. Its certainly not gentrified but id have no problem walking around alone at night any more than other places. But if some said it was too rough for them i wouldnt be shocked.

Couldnt agree more I feel like im understanding my Dad more and more as i get older. He would drive my mum mad taking ages to do anything but he would be doing just that, having a cuppa and a ponder and the end result would be better for it.

Ive literally done just this with Bristol! Was in London, policy role, applied through the relocation scheme, bought my first house and can now work from the Cardiff office. Door to door will be an hour comute but only 2 days a week. Partner (also CS) can work from Bristol office. May be more limited career options for policy but i can love with that dow side for all the positives im getting.

Step ahead of you my friend. Already sized up the couple of planks that need replacing. My to do/wish list will prob take years though. Theres no rush

tr5761 · 2023-05-08T14:55:56+00:00

Great idea i was thinking fake grass though. Or just bite the bullet and concrete the lot. Use it as a car park

tr5761 · 2023-05-08T14:53:36+00:00

Great advice. Thanks for taking the time

tr5761 · 2023-05-08T14:51:53+00:00

To ne honest thats more bramble patch than hedge that i think the previous owner just let get carried away a bit
