Random Irritations

Hobbit said:
The weather!

After the best Feb and first two weeks of March on record, we've had the worst 6 weeks on record. In 42 days of lockdown we've had about 8 days when its been good enough to sit out for any length of time.

I suppose in that respect its made staying home easier but our life is built around being outside, even if its just sat on the terrace reading a book.

This morning, again, its throwing it down.

Been the opposite here in Surrey ? Not really rained for quite a while now - and some lovely warm and sunny days...

Yep all submitted thankfully, just the barter to come the other way now ;)

Only one left to do wants to get his next year return in as early as possible as its his first years books lol and hes not gonna get any help currently, not that doing so will actually help him :(

Was confused a bit when doing my lad’s sole trader return with him as the return didn’t seem to require him to enter his earnings for each employment (he’s mixed employed and self-employed) - put in each business PAYE code yes - but amount he earned was optional. So when we got to the end of the return and doing the calc it showed he owned no tax - which we knew was wrong. So I went back and entered the amounts and hey presto the calc showed how much he owed. Didn’t get that. No matter. Better to know how much is owed than wait for HMRC to work it out and tell him - as I guess that that’s what happens. And best to get it paid - which he - rather I - have now done...

confusing though that entering income from employment is optional..
 
We like New Zealand sav blanc especially Brancott.
Saw a new type from Brancott called flight which was ordered.

Hell fire it was only 9% rather than the usual 13.5. Same price but not enjoyable.

It was last night rather than today fro breaki!
 
I’m a break from tradition, today’s random irritation is myself....

I keep finding myself dragged into forum handbags that no one benefits from, least of all me.

So, in an effort to be more “understanding” and thoughtful, I’m going to temporarily ban myself from saying anything on this forum other than “Get lessons”, “Have you considered a professional fitting” and “you shouldn’t stand there when someone’s taking their shot”.

Well, until the lockdowns lifted anyway. Then I’m going Right Winger hunting ?

He would be happy to add it to his 'blocked numbers' list ?.

Just so that I could see what irritated you, for research purposes only, I watched a clip. You are absolutely right but it has brought her lots of publicity. Let's just hope at no point does she moan that she is not taken seriously, she doesn't want to be objectified. A very valid random irritation ?

Why be understanding & thoughtful when you be pithy, acerbic and bring with you a whole bag of preconceptions??? it works for some. After all it’s the internet, no need for any of that ‘understanding’ ?

We're just ending summer and the lockdown period has seen some great golfing weather that's gone to waste.
Winter brings a nice respite as it'll drop into the mid-high 20's and means we won't need aircon at night
We just passed through cyclone season with no real storms this year either so the lockdown really has been a poor time weather wise to be cooped up

Jeez, I've seen the golf on that island on TV. I understand there are some lovely courses there.
If I survive this virus, I'm going to make a real effort to play there.
Looks like a golfers paradise.

Yeah the objectification argument gets right up my nose when they are all posting pics of themselves in some state of undress ..
But then I think women’s golf dress code is a little too night club
