I'd totally forgotten about that site, Old Man Tai posted it up over on the other side a few years back, it is an enjoyable way to spend some time just spinning the globe at random at listening to some odd radio stations.

Just got a £3,000 gift from the very nice taxman over in the UK.

Don't like paying tax there anyway, so nice to get some back :)

Finally sold the Beta X-trainer.
Been for sale for about a year but only silly offers.
Didn't need to sell it so hung on for what I wanted.

The missus just booked a flight to the U.K. end of September

Now I'm usually a bit sad when she goes to the UK to see her folks.

But this was only £7.79 :mrgreen:

Getting an email from the No-Win, No Fee lawyers, who I put on the case when the bastards at Vueling airlines messed me about and refused my compo claim, saying me and the kid were gonna get Eur350 each. :thumbup:

It's not the money, it's the principle. :1

But the money helps. :twisted:
