Popular Post Paddywhack Posted August 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) My mother in law looked after our cat whilst we were away for a few days. We'd left all his food and treats on the kitchen worktop. Mrs P phoned her on our way back yesterday and she told us she'd bought him a box of new cat food as we always give him the same brand and he should have more variation. I got back and saw she'd been feeding him a brand I knew didn't agree with him, I've given it him before. He had dried runny shit round his bum, back legs and tail and we found cat sick in my son's bedroom. He's now lying next me whilst I'm working from home and his farts are killing me. So yeah, cheers for feeding him whilst we were away, but maybe next time you could keep your meddling big nose out of it, you interfering cow. That might seem a bit strong, but she's got form. She re-arranged the furniture in our living room once. Edited August 4, 2021 by Paddywhack 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickelback are releasing a new album. It was reported on FB by Kerrang, Planet Rock and Absolute Classic Rock. All three pages had hundreds of replies saying the same boring shit (e.g oh no please dont, or haven't we had enough with COVID etc etc) Utter spunktrumpets. If you hate a band, why bother reading and commenting about them? I can't stand Def Leppard but I don't go in threads about them to tell everyone how wank I think they are. BTW I don't own a single album by Nickelback, but don't think they're as bad as the internet sheep try to have you believe. I saw them in Atlantic City two years ago & it was a cracking gig (even if the beer was overpriced). Also, I love Def Leppard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t much here, from memory, I think its something like £6 a month, which is better than nothing over the course of a year. I’m letting mine roll next year, it’ll be interesting to see at what point the revenue ask for some sort of evidence that you work from home.

I’m letting mine roll next year, it’ll be interesting to see at what point the revenue ask for some sort of evidence that you work from home. we have to do a full self assessment each year and from what i can tell its an absolute mess, my employer doesn't get involved its all organised by me, they don't adjust your tax code, in the 2 years ive been here I've had a 2000 euro rebate followed by a 1800 euro bill, you can stick loads of bollocks on there, last year when we had a baby we could claim the tax back on parking at the hospital for example, she also tried to claim the tax back on driving to the hospital but they said no, its really random even my wife doesn't fully understand it so we get help from a mate who works in tax, she throws the kitchen sink at it and hopes for the best you also get to pick your band...because we're married you can split it between you in some sort of weird way, say we earn 60k between us we can put ourselves in band 3 and our take home is x amount or depending on who earns the most you can put 1 in band 2 and the other in band 4 and our take home is y basically i havent got a **** clue whats going on and the worst of it is Germany is years behind the UK when it comes to doing stuff online, its shockingly behind, you can do calculators and stuff but i'm sure the actual submission is paper, if there is an issue it'll be a meeting in a government office, i've got my post brexit residence pass thing coming up, my wife had to visit the government office to arrange the appointment, i have to go to the government office with my hand written application form and documents, when my card is ready i have to go to the government office to collect it...its mad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flick the kettle on now, 5 or 6 times a day at 2p a go, and I’m using my own coffee whereas coffee and biscuits in the office were free. On a totally unrelated note, I have an office credit card and due to covid they have not been collecting receipts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'm saving a fortune WFH due to no fuel, eating better, and not popping out for coffees. That's before considering the benefits of time saving from the commute. The electric and coffee costs at home are negligible compared to that, for me. I really feel sorry for my friends though, who bought a house right next to our office, in the most expensive part of town, specifically to be within walking distance of work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
