When we dropped our first off last year for his first year away, and got to the end of the road, it was very much whatever word you come up with for this. I mean, I tried, but look - melan-ment ? excite-choly ? It needs a professional.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
You will never get a turkey to vote for xmas. The reason I like the idea of increased % of VAT on luxuries is, I can't tell you what a person is worth ( net worth fluctuates constantly due to shares etc), but the things they buy that we can't have a value which is already taxed, just take more.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
You probably like the idea of Universal Basic Income. Me too. The principle of UBI being that means-testing is expensive, get rid of admin, divvy up the cash that was spent counting beans. A wealth tax would be the opposite of that - more money spent chasing money than raising it.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't know much about this. Which is why I listen to those who point out its' problems - the spanish tried it once, and raised a few million I believe. It would need to be everywhere to work I would prefer an increased rate of VAT on luxury items. No idea what it would raise though.

Ok this might spread into more than one message, but if you're able to share/help it would be appreciated. A Turkish Kurd is about to receive emergency housing for a week or so after an entire hotel of Asylum Seekers was turfed out of a hotel in Diss. Authorities are able to move his family...

... To Wolverhampton, BUT the lad has just been accepted on an Electrical Engineering course in Norwich, and ideally needs to stay relatively local, or he will otherwise lose opportunity. (Like, from next Monday!) and needs some longer term accommodation if possible nearer to, or in, Norwich...

Define a wealth tax. In your definition, try to explain how you would prevent capital flight. ( Difficulty : extreme )

Congratulations on yet another in a huge series of birthdays ! Who knew the numbers got this big eh ? Have a good one !

There's nothing more patriotic than paying your taxes. Which is what the rich people who would have us raising flags would like to avoid.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
Only takes a few hundred people to put some flags up. That few hundred want you to think there are more of them than there are. The biggest hotel protests reached a thousand, most were under a hundred.

The local knuckle-draggers have painted some mini-roundabouts. It's rather satisfying to see the red paint getting rubbed off by tyres in approx 3 and a half days. Although maybe they'll make it an every weekend hobby from now on...

In the nicest possible way, it's unlikely bsky users are going to share a thread from x - the platform is damaged goods. You'd likely grow your following if you posted the thread here though.

Conflating the country with themselves is an authoritarian tactic as old as time. Suggests that Vance, if he gets the opportunity, will be as bad as trump.

Often supplied by charities like screen share too, not the government. Refurbished models, not new. There's so much deliberate misinformation about this.

In cold financial terms it makes sense to bank the money rather than let the player leave for nothing in January. And that's the job of a sporting director.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
All very well, but we need more than one attacking midfielder, who gives forson competition / cover ? Everyone else appears to be a stopper.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
It's going to be rocky until October, I'd like an attacking midfielder to replace Nunez, Mattson doesn't appear to be it if his assist record is correct, (8 career assists ?) but we will improve and hopefully push for playoffs next year.

He just needs to get more time on the golf course and he will be ready.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
Presumably the medical team thinks the previous injuries shouldn't impact him in future, and he scores goals naturally just by being him and working hard, at this level.
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
Happy birthday farts !
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
If he stays fit most of the season and scores 20 plus, I don't see us getting less than the Wolfsburg valuation when he has 2 years till expiry in the summer.

Yep, that's fair, I guess I'd rather have a decent story than complete accuracy too. But when you get neither, well... :)
Justin (@someoneontwitter.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, yes, but if you're going to put this out on a weekend evening, how much would it cost to get a historian to look at the scripts as a consultant and check for accuracy. Seems sloppy.

Do you have separate mobile phone insurance? Some bank accounts include this. In which case you're covered by "lost or stolen".

Perhaps the government will look into improvements to the "fit and proper person test" for club owners as a result of the peaceful protests.

so, to understand this story there are a few things you need to know - my cat, Gus, believes he is a trained support animal - he is not (he has relatives who are, but he is not) - he believes he is a seizure-detecting dog - he is not a dog - I do not get seizures

just remembered, the second time, they weren't selling so much beer, so the staff that weren't needed were allowed to stay and watch the gig, basically a free ticket. so maybe it's not them boosting the economy after all.
