didn't say that, personally I love a good hanging

Lets not forget the part played in all this by the car manufacturers by making unsecure key less cars in the first place

He most certainly wasn't cleared, the process was blocked by the Republican majority. Big difference, that file is still sitting on Dromey's desk and I should think he will be dusting it off any time soon

Lithuanians, this is the reality of free movement within the EU.

An employer has very little fear of claims about unfair dismissal. It is a lengthy, time consuming and expensive process for the claimant and very few can afford it or are willing to take the risk.

I believe it is more able to latch on to cells in the human body. So "better hooks" effectively

A friend I used to work with, his wife has bred and sold labs for decades, Its been a tidy business for them over the years its not much work for the rewards when you think about it

Fantastic places, like dying and going to heaven when you walked through the door

No you are either deliberately or unintentionally missing the point. Why do **** poor bland, mind numbingly boring care homes get away with charging vunerable residents ridiculously high fees for couldn't care less "care" in circumstances that compare very badly against other benchmarks? eathat is int

Yes but that was only a glitch in the grand scheme of things. There are always more oldies coming down the pipe line. The business in retirement homes, as opposed to care homes, is huge and growing exponentially. Its wrong to think of these places as gods waiting rooms for the incontinent ga-ga oldies. We enquired about one of these places for my mother, she is not short of a bob or two but the prices quoted are extortionate. We could book her on a 120 day world cruise with P&O or Cunard in a balcony cabin with fabulous food, entertainment every night, gyms and activities galore etc for a lot less per day than staying in some of these overpriced death camps. And I mean a LOT less. nearly HALF! I could spend a year at sea going three times around the world in exquisite luxury, eating lobster and smoked salmon, drinking champagne and watching cabaret every night and having access to gyms and sauna's every day for around £36,000 to £40.000 per year Or I could spend £70,000 a year living in a characterless box room with a rickety old bed being fed scrambled egg and propped up for hours in front of a TV I can't change the channel on wearing a nappy because the staff can't be bothered to take me to the toilet. Unable to speak to most of the staff you just get ignored you choose

Its ring fenced, with an aging population and an almost captive workforce its hard to see what could go wrong

There was a man who used to come shooting with us a few years back. He seemed very wealthy, nice car, two sons at expensive private school etc all the trappings. But he never seemed to be "at work", always free to go shooting and he did a lot of the time. Well out of our league in that respect. I wondered for ages what he did for a living, it turned out he owned a care home or two

£1000 is cheap round here. Also the care homes are sneaky, once my Aunt was in her home and settled every 1st Jan they sent us a letter to say the fees are going up another £100. It happened every year

Or sell the house and put the money in a bank in India, Cyprus or Israel like people I know have done. Then the council can't get their hands on it.

It seems patchy my brother 63 and his wife 62 were suprised today to get a phone call to say be ready for theirs later this week or at the week end. Neither are special occupations or have any health issues. They live in Oxfordshire not far from Old Pigeon Popper My mother in law however, 92 only got her first jab in Cornwall yesterday and had a 90 mile round trip to Truro get it

I'm going through the options with my solicitor at the moment. If you 'gift' a property or money to an offspring now (when you are alive) its a taxable transaction. All gifts are taxable, theoretically even the socks you got for Christmas. The rules are much tighter these days Also, make sure all your dependents know which solicitor has the will and what it says. Its far from unknown for dodgy relatives to chuck self penned wills on the fire if they don't say what they want them to say.. Anybody can contest a will and many more do so now, the wording has to be watertight

My friend who is a pest controller say the only real money is in rodents.

There is more to it than just wind. A sporting rifle barrel is very likely to shift it point of impact as it heats up and ten shots is going to heat that barrel up considerably

I wouldn't want to live in the country, its different strokes for different folks.

good post
-
There will always be detractors, like that idiot James O'Brian on LBC, but I for one think they are doing really well The only thing I would say is I think teachers, police and bus drivers etc should have got one early on along with NHS staff But the EU is all over the place, typical bureaucratic nightmare. So glad we are out of all that now

To be fair, that might be more a function of where you live

The Charedi are one of the most ultra religious of all the orthodox Jewish sects and Stamford Hill is where they call home. Literally a closed community .
