Currently reading the first book in The Chronicles of St Mary's by Jodi Taylor called "Just one Damned Thing After Another" which is about a group of time travelling historians.
Found the series after finding a book from the Time Police spin off series in The Works for 99p in a sale.
First finished book of the year was "Holly" by Stephen King. Not his best or worst book.
Trying to read more this year but already behind the target I set myself of 2.5 books per month. |

The change of manager and arrival of Bergkamp didn't help either. |

It really has reached the point where I don't want to do it anymore, even part time.
Glad you have found an additional job that is rewarding, especially from a MH point of view. |

Scarecrow sounds like a good career to me. I don't mind lone working.
My biggest issue is that I have no idea what I want to do. Earning potential doesn't really bother me. I'm a man of very simple needs nowadays. |

After 25 years of working in the same field I've slowly reached the point where I hate everything about it.
I tried changing the focus but nope, still hate it. Being deliberately vague, it's office based but very niche.
Has anyone looked to change career in their 40s? It will probably have to remain office based but a more general role.
It has affected my mental health for a number of years and it's only so often you can change employer before realising its probably the job itself. |

Just the three of us including a toddler.
Some form of vegan wellington with chicken nuggets for the toddler. |

Agree with that and said as much to my wife.
The people who sit around me in the West Stand still moan about the passing around the back.
Great response from the defenders as well. |

Some of my favorites pre and post referendum:
"If we don't vote to leave the EU I'm emigrating to Spain"
"Tomatoes will be 10p per pound when we leave"
"Of course I voted to leave.Need to keep Britain for the British." Said in front of he French boyfriend. |

I'd hazard a guess they were suggesting a charge each quarter based on the quarterly "profit" shown on the VAT Return.
This would also be flawed as it wouldn't allow for accounting adjustments.
Until there is an international consensus on how to tax global entities it will be close to impossible to do anything about it. |

I'm not saying its not a good idea, just that you would be targeting a group of people who would predominantly be Tory voters.
The 2nd point is impossible to administer. VAT is an additional amount added to the sales price paid by the customer. So an item that you buy for £100 from a VAT Registered business is c£83 VAT and £17 VAT.
Facebook and Google would not reduce their base price and the very tenet of VAT is that its business neutral so if Facebook have to charge 100% VAT then the business customers would be able to reclaim the 100% VAT. The only losers would be the non-VAT registered customers |

Because NI is effectively a tax on earned income (employment, self-employment) scrapping it and raising income tax would adversely affect people you receive pension income, rental income, dividends, interest. |
