  1. Is it ok to like Brewdog, craft beer and normal pubs/supermarket lager without being a paedo? Asking for a friend.
  2. I'd like to add to this: - given the ever greater natural resources required to sustain the demands of humanity, curing cancer and increasing the population even further would not necessarily be a good thing big picture. - too much emphasis is placed on length of time living and not enough on quality of life
  3. It's not purely for tax, there are plenty reasons (as well as cons) to be set up as a contractor. You have none of the employment law protection, for example. It is not meant to be used purely for tax reasons, hence she was investigated. The company is subject to corporation tax on the profits and the individual is subject to tax on getting the money out of the company, whether it be via salary or dividends. Plenty of celebrities have pretty horrendous means to legally avoid tax. This isn't one of them. There's probably more eloquent ways of putting it than Lorraine Kelly being an example of the whole country being a disaster.
  4. No, hence she was investigated and taken to court. She just happened to win.
  5. Lorraine Kelly set herself up as a contractor. Something that is done by many, many "ordinary" people on "ordinary" pay all across the country. They too would be pretty pissed off if HMRC hit them with an income tax and NIC bill.
  6. Lorraine Kelly's tax case sums up everything wrong with the country AND is the cause of brexit? Interesting take.
  7. This is really the only sensible viewpoint that is necessary. Not much more needs to be said on it.
  8. Celtic probably would make him have ‘brown’ on his back if he signed for them, right enough.
  9. Fairly certain if they think they’ll get it passed they’ll find a way to hold the vote.
  10. The shite deal is going to sneak through isn’t it
  11. Fantastic to hear. I always get slightly concerned when you post in this thread but delighted to hear all is going well.
  12. I feel like I need to watch this again. I was very tired yesterday and may have been a bit hasty in my initial assessment.
  13. I had this issue with Virgin Media and they never tried to charge me anything, I'd double check that to be honest.
  14. Calling cards of total c***s thread for this pish
  15. Did 7 miles last night. Had a bit of a rest week last week (still running/working out plenty but generally taking it a bit easier) as was feeling pretty fatigued on my runs both physically and mentally. Seems to have helped as average pace was 7:30 which is about 40 seconds per mile faster than my previous best on that run.
  16. Not bad but probably the worst of the series so far for me.
  17. Troll or not, opening up threads to see people once again banging their head against the wall trying to speak to willy is getting extremely tedious.
  18. I’m not sure they take kindly to much to be honest.
  19. I don't know if it's yet another modern day phenomenon that's left me behind, but I sit in disbelief as I read whatsapp groups with my mates, constantly updating each other on their food intake. Photos, plans, reviews, all over mediocre, everyday food. I find it staggering.
  20. This is very true. I don't read nearly enough as I should and while it would be easy to blame lack of time. The truth is I have a couple of hours free most days after work, eating, exercise etc is out the way, and I make a conscious choice to spend it watching some shit on the telly instead.
  21. People constantly talking about food. What they've eaten, what they'd like to eat, what they might eat tomorrow. I don't care. I really don't care.
