Got a lovely letter from HMRC through this morning. I owe £1700 in taxes for last year. 
 

Welcome to 2021! (Slightly satirical, obviously money I owe so can’t really complain..)

Welcome to 2021! (Slightly satirical, obviously money I owe so can’t really complain..)

 

Worth checking.

 

Three times in my life over last 12 years I've been chased for money and all 3 times investigated further and both were written off or found to be incorrect i shit you not.

 

First was in-between teaching jobs and had signed on and off over period of 5 months. Get a letter saying I failed to inform them of work I'd done and I owe them 456 quid. Produced all my paperwork of time worked and copies of my work diary and they eventually realised that error was on their part and as an apology they would not collect on the over payment .

 

Second time was letter saying had been overpaid Child Benefit by nearly 2000. I asked for detailed breakdown of overpayment and then I'd be happy to set up an arrangement. Back and forward for nearly a year with them asking for funds and me saying Absolutely, just show me the calculations on paper and I will do it. They "wrote off" the overpayment. 

 

Third time more recently I received a letter saying I was due a tax rebate of 1040 quid. However this apparently prompted an investigation of my last 3 years tax and ultimately I had actually been on wrong tax code and owed them £1200. Again I said sure, you provide me with the maths on paper showing how it happened and I'll will make a pay arrangement. 

6 months later and letter says matter resolved and no money owed.

 

Between DWP and HMRC I could have paid nearly £4k if I'd just accepted all their letters and not questioned it.

Neighbours taking the absolute piss.

 

They've put a gazebo up in their back garden, and have had visitors every day for the past 2 weeks.  Different cars, and usually groups of 2 to 6 people.  People there now, clearly English accents, and the sound of champagne corks popping at 2pm on a ****ing Tuesday.  They've got a fire pit as well and the whole place is stinking of smoke. 

 

I've not seen my family since last Christmas, but these pricks are having parties and hosting all kinds of shite.  They clearly think they are too good for any of the restrictions. 

 

Their arsehole visitors have parked in our space as well, even though it's clearly a private one, so when my partner comes back from a 14 hour shift in the COVID ward, she won't be able to get parked because they've been drinking all afternoon. 

 

Bet you they still drive anyway, because it's a big White Range Rover with a personalised plate.

What's the point though?  The Police are never going to come high tailing it out to a village outside of the city just to have a word with a couple of people breaking the restrictions, especially when plenty other arseholes will be doing it in a closer radius to them.

 

Just have to hope they have a terrible accident involving the fire-pit and the gazebo.  Maybe the Range Rover too.

I would post their address so we could crowd-fund some additional jobbies, but it would take about 6 months for Royal Mail to deliver them!

This gazebo shit is the latest thing in the leafy lanes of Glasgow's west end.

 

All the tits who were out clapping the NHS a few months ago are happily circumventing the roolz so that they can have wee parties in a warm and humid tent where the virus almost certainly thrives.

Thank **** other people have exactly the same opinion.

 

I have started avoiding the Terrace because of a handful of "diehard PHM" who have popped up fairly recently who just talk complete and utter pish.  Now, don't get me wrong, we all talk pish on JKB, but there's a handful of them who do the equivalent of shitting in their hands and clapping with every single post, and it's just completely tiresome watching thread after thread be derailed by inane drivel.

Listening to a record for the first time in ages and discovering it’s got a scratch on one of the tracks. And knowing that it must have been me that did it.

Found a small Hermes parcel in the car park outside mines yesterday that the delivery driver had obviously dropped doing his deliveries. Ended up taking it to the cafe round the corner myself 🤣 So aye, good luck.

Just got the bill for the same, with my gearbox also needing reconditioned. Mine was around 2K as well. Use my mates garage though, he doesn't seem to charge much for labour as I have done quite a few jobs for him.

Every time a football pundit on TV talks  about  one of the team's shape as  "a  midfield diamond".      

 A diamond is  NOT  a shape. It's a carbon gemstone !!     The geometric shape these pundits are trying to describe is trapezoid.    A midfield trapezoid.    If Michael Stewart wants to become First Minister, he needs to brush up on  things like this.

Just got a message from a lassie on FB. Worked with her about 15 or so years ago and probably spoke to her half a dozen times on FB. She’s asking for a lend of a tenner till Monday. She must’ve went down her friend list and just asked everyone.

 

Didn’t even bother answering her.

Heres my dog in the snow.

What a sunset. 

My dog is still in the snow. 

Look at this road...its got snow on it. Isn't it pretty. 

I made this snowman.

Hopefully the next picture will be of you with a "Missing since Friday. Please share"

And twats that have about 3 glasses of wine a week going on about the sacrifice and hardship of dry January.  I’d have more respect if you were actually a proper alky. Someone I work with is doing it for charity despite the fact he barely drinks. He’s getting **** all money from me.

Charity fundraisers on Facebook in general. Particularly folk doing things they enjoy doing for money such as Folk who run regularly. They enjoy it. They post about it. They're good at it. They do it A LOT.

 

"I'm running a marathon this month to raise money for....."

 

Go and throw shite at yerself. Seriously. Actual shite. I'll donate for that. Both my own shite and money as well.

 

I'm doing a charity abseil. I'm doing a charity skydive. I want to do something exciting and I want you to pay for it under the pretence I'm a caring individual. 

 

Here's an idea that has worked for me. Is there a charity close your heart? Give them some money if you can spare it....and then....just keep that moment to yourself. Don't tell anyone. Just know you did something nice.

[Cade]

One of my old workplaces was like that.

Every feckin week it was some charity drive or other.

Or someone's birthday.
Or a lotto syndicate.

Or paying into the night out pot.

Hands out for cash every week without fail.

Worst was the fancy dress ones. Had to come to work in fancy dress AND pay a tenner for the privilege.
And if you refused to come to work in fancy dress, they tried to make you pay double as a forfeit.

Told them tae

I was there to make money, not give it all to charity. When charity gifting is not optional and not for causes of your own discretion it's essentially them reducing your pay without consent.

Told them I'd report them for not meeting min wage requirements.

Pricks.

Aye.  Like those so-called celebs who did it a couple of years ago for Sport/Comic Relief.    Did it really raise more than the cost (and climate damage) of  preparing & travelling for them and the support/film crew ?   Mental.

Some scumbag has nicked the garden chairs out of my exes front garden. 
 

don’t get me wrong they cost about £10 max each, and they weren’t secured, but it’s the fact that it isn’t hard to see it’s a single mother living there (my kids) and they’ve left 1?

nicked 3 and left 1. 
 

appreciate it’s not exactly sit out in the garden weather but a pretty shady thing to do.

 

 

Nb) main reason im Annoyed is the kids liked to sit on them (and the gardens on the Main Street) slightly surprised they weren’t nicked already but still

Slipped on ice on Friday coming out my front door , my ribs had a coming together with the metal railings at the steps resulting in either badly bruised ribs or something a bit more . Can’t sneeze , laugh or cough without excruciating pain . 😡
Should’ve listened to my wife when she asked me months ago to level the bloody step off to stop it creating a wee puddle .
