I've got a performance enhancing iced bun for the ride later, assuming it stays dry. Absolutely tipped it down this morning.
Got dropped by a 6 year old on the way in - to be fair he did nearly crash into a crowd of people as a result. Bloody cyclists.0 -

I think that could be a blockbuster. No, I think it could be a blockbuster. Oh forget it.seanoconn said:
I had a mate in an aviation academy who had a side business selling pre shined shoes and belt buckles which he hid in the ceiling tiles. Unfortunately he got busted by gunnery sergeant Foley who punished him for an entire weekend, trying to force him to quit. Zack Mayo, my friend, broke down in tears telling Foley that he had nowhere else to go. Foley gave Zack one more chance to prove himself. Zack was a changed man and later saved his girlfriend from her dead end factory job as he whisked her off her feet wearing his smart military dress uniform and walked out with her in his arms to the applause of her colleagues.pinno said:
My mate (who was a signaller) had two pairs - one for everyday use and one for show.hopkinb said:
He got a tin of wax, heated it gently, and then used a warm spoon to coat the boot and make it glossy.
A tale (true or not, I do not know) is that they found a man in his humble cottage in a remote part of the highlands who had died.
They found a pair of boots. The leather and laces had almost completely disintegrated but the 'shell' from the waxing had remained intact.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Despite all the domestic shenanigans Elbow, sounds like you are in a good position. Nice headache to have.
Lucy Worsley... sigh.
Breezy here and a bit chilly but hey - the sun is out.
Good luck Hayden - sounds like you'll need it.

Nothing complicated on the face of it, but land and crop are treated differently. If you buy a £25m property you have the current value of the trees (volumes and timber prices vary wildly), and usually a productive and unproductive land value underneath. The percentage split changes through the lifecyle of the crops and is entirely variable depending on your assumptions. The problem is it's very subjective and there is no agreed method... In my previous employment the tax advisors spent a very long time digging through values and splits for 15-20 years in the past when the entire market was different.Stevo_666 said:

A company I wanted to work for has finally released some job roles 6-8 months late for me. My new job is great but I'd liked to have been able to interview for this too at the time. Ah well
I tend to suggest the value of the crop is the compensation a windfarm developer or similar would have to pay, (current value regardless of age, rather than optimal felling age), and a base productive land value rate. I think it's more about consistency than anything, it's extremely rare that it is stipulated in a sale/acquisition

It's a masterpiece. One episode is even centred round a medic's experience at Bastogne during the battle of the bulge. No plasters, no calpol.

Went for a ride. Bit windy.
So much traffic, it's like some lockdown rule's about to change and people have gone crazy.
Followed a guy on an old road bike with flat pedals, casual clothes, backpack absolutely leathering it down the big hill.
I could've gone faster to overtake but the road was twisty and potholed and he clearly had bigger balls than me.

We salute the rank not the man.
Then that last snipe at Cap. Sobel at the end.
But apart from the episode "why we fight", which is utterly brilliant, the speech in the final episodefrom the Wehrmacht general to his men on surrender, translated by Gottlieb, who was Jewish.
Then what always gets me, these guys were conscripts and volunteers, that it was based on reality, and that Capt/Major Winters and other veterans provided commentary before and after each episode, but you don't know who was who until the end.
Perfect TV, and must be 20 years old.

Evening folks,
Busy day of WFH with the delights of Teams meetings thrown in. Very glad it's Friday. Now chilling with a cold drink. Nice to have the lad down for a few days.
Thought you'd know to be wary of old men on steel framed road bikes Thistle.0 -
