On inquiring it seems that in additional to across the board increases, our premium was increased due to building work we have ongoing.

I'm further back than that! In fact I cannot remember when I last played golf.

As I glance out the window at the sun shining, my feet start to twitch.
Then I look at the thermometer which tells me it's -3.
More coffee I think

Former Daily Mail sports reporter Martin Samuel wrote in The Times yesterday,Bringing Cake to work is like passive smoking, apparently. ??
Keep cake away from office, suggests food watchdog head https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64315384
"Taking the cake
Having not worked in an office for many years, I have to ask: is cake really such a problem? Crystal meth, yes. But cake? Just have a sliver if you’re worried about the health consequences; or none at all. It really is up to you. Nobody is truly ambushed by cake — well, there was that one guy — and if the work’s dull, and it brightens the day, where’s the harm? I’m told a gentleman used to bring cheese into The Times every Thursday, which seems considerably more dangerous. Cheese is a gateway drug. To port, for starters.
Anyway, cake isn’t the biggest problem with office birthdays. Paul Dawson, a professor of food science at Clemson University in the US, conducted a study: “Bacterial Transfer Associated With Blowing Out Candles On A Birthday Cake”. Extinguishing the flame this way increased bacterial coverage by up to 1,400 per cent. It’s not cake that needs banning. It’s candles."

Use of the term “reach out” when write, reply or contact would be more appropriate, and in my “aged” view, correct.

It's minus 5, with freezing fog, but still had to drive to the rowing club at 7am for the decision to be made NOT to go out on the water

True. Most live more locally so probably don't mind so much getting there only for the session to be cancelled.
The clubhouse is flipping freezing (cost saving and all that) but we did an erg technical session - I'd have stayed home given the choice though...
We got out twice in the eight yesterday - pure ice up the looms and I was behind a splasher in the first session - fffffreezing!!
I wouldn't have hesitated to turf Rupert up to get a top up. ?

House buyers: alledgedly 'sold and ready to move'!
I'm not interested in how you discounted your house by £100k+
I'm not interested in your desire to take down walls and
I dont care that you want a new £40k kitchen/diner instead of the kitchen and dining room.
I'm certainly not interested in reducing my price by the cost of any of or all of the above.
I you have the money (~£1m) make me an offer otherwise s** off.
I think people believe they're on a TV property show: well sorry but you're not - this is the real world.

having for years for years clicked on 'accept cookies' and not one single company has sent me any.
The sheer number of pot holes created by the recent snow and ice. Went past one today, could have doubled as a car inspection bay.

I saw one in Tring the other day...genuinely almost a foot deep.
It did have a white line around it though so that's OK....

Have currently been sat on a motionless Met Line train for over half an hour, in between stops so we can't even get off. The number of days with delays vastly, vastly outnumber the days where it runs smoothly. At this rate I'll be asking for so many service refunds that they will be paying me to travel with them.
