Nope. I'm out of the loop on this one. Have HMRC decided King Brian owes some back tax?

HMRC nailing a slippery little sucker who deserves the full weight of the law dropping on his elderly head!
He's a billionaire, he'll payback what he owes from change down the back of his sofa and not give a shit.
He'll be more annoyed he's been rumbled than having to pay up!
Yeah. His face said he didn't like going to court with the whole world watching.
Sometime the rich can't buy themselves out of trouble

Yehbut it's £160m x number of years + fine.
He could fund HS2 to Glasgow!
Six hundred and forty million quid, tis what i heard on the radio.
That's a fair bit of loose change.

Well, if we're talking about Ecclestone I imagine the payment will come out of one of his companies rather than his pocket...but he did seem to think that F1 was his pocket.

Bernie Ecclestone (spelling) of Formula 1 fame has been found guilty of not declaring £400 million (or billion) of assets.
Huge fine, and back taxes. But he's rich, so no jail time.

Having a plumber next door
A connection in the garden water routes had been playing up so I replaced it.
Kept going pop and finally did it again today. Hottest day for ages . 37c and was getting pissed off. Endlessly turning water off for whole house, messing about with connection only to see it leak again.
Asked neighbour to pop round. He instantly spotted problem. They'd given me a wrong seal. Only 1mm out, but enough to leak. He had a spare so now ok
He's round for a BBQ Monday so will pamper him then.

Christina Aguilera's tits in the latest Just Eat advert.
Does that make me misogynistic, or just a breast enthusiast?

One of my best pals on the island has just decided to buy a V4 Panigale in Manchester.
He flies over in a few days.
Then Plymouth to Santander ferry. Then ride to Cadiz.
Just told him I'm at Portimao and he said he'd try to pop in.
And he's booked on same ferry home as me
Just popped up on FarceBook
Screenshot_20231002_184436_Facebook.jpg
Just been round to see him to help with a problem with his Husky TE300i
The Pani was in the garage. With the key in. And he admitted that the garage is never locked. And he's insured TPO.
Nice place to live here

Sent him home with wobbly legs
Always a great afternoon when both sets of neighbours pop round for a BBQ

Found out today that my new brake pads were a fair bit cheaper than expected, as I imported them and the pound is pretty strong against the euro at the moment! God bless brexit!

Had a colonoscopy this morning and the doc found something. He's not put it on the urgent list, but gonna arrange a small procedure to take care of it when the biopsy results come back.
He's not at all worried,, but I'm fucking glad it's been caught early.
Fingers crossed nothing serious.
My employer allows free BUPA screenings every other year, or every year for over 50's. Two of my colleagues have never been but have never been able to explain why they don't go. None of my business, of course, but I suspect it's because they'll get told things they don't want to hear about their lifestyle.
Me personally, I'd rather know sooner then later if there's anything wrong, as I can then try to get it sorted before it has me pushing up daisies.
Just been for results. He says it will be OK.
Gonna do the procedure in January/February. He says his favourite nurse is on maternity leave and wants her to be in on it as she's the best.
He said it would have been bad in 3 years, but got it in plenty of time

Not that it will ever effect you pops but i will try and use rush hour busses as much as possible
Dont know if they got away with it but i remember Edinburgh trying to ban OAP's from busses during rush hour times to help workers getting back and forth to work. This would have been early to mid 90's and a huge uproar at the time.
