  1. You've only got to look at Yaxley-Lennon's flash house, car, foreign holidays and new set of teeth to see where the 'fighting fund' donations go. Lawrence Fox is a posher version of the same grift, plenty of mugs will doff their caps and fall for it, again. Trump is skint, his campaign run out of money, had to pull TV ads in the closing weeks, even the legal team he's now using aren't the expected litigation big hitters. He'll also need money for upcoming legal bills...his defence team. :)

If you've been forced to work from home e.g. due to Covid, you can claim a rebate, not worth getting an accountant in, do it yourself... https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home However, if you've freely decided to go self-employed working from home in the long-term, then getting an accountant to do your tax return would make sense...

  7. If any of you have already seen that video of Trump's 'spiritual advisor' praying for an 11th hour Trump victory, here it is given the Eminem treatment avec nodding cat...Awesome! :)

  10. One hopes that these lockdowns aren't a long-term thing, that eventually a vaccine, if not providing total immunity, then at least boosting our immune system to make it harder to catch, coupled with better treatments for those that do. So, if that's the case, what's in it for Farage? I can't help think the whole thing just stinks of political opportunism, a vanity project for someone who since Brexit has become politically obsolete. The danger is the media will pander to him again like they did over Brexit, give him the oxygen of publicity he craves. Instead they need to ask him to back up his arguments for not having a lockdown, ask to see the economic and science-based evidence. And what other policies will this new party have, or is it just a single-issue protest group designed to spook the Tories? Also, the demographic that he had the most support from over Brexit i.e. the over 65s are the most at risk from Covid, and they are the most in favour of a lockdown according to a recent poll (I think it was YouGov). Conversely, the demographic most anti-lockdown i.e. the 18-24s are strongly opposed to Brexit, and Farage himself is deeply unpopular with them. So it's not a straightforward transfer of allegiance from Brexit to anti-lockdown, and something's got to give if he's to get to the level of support he had over Brexit. There's also the sweet irony in that he helped remove the one platform that gave him some political legitimacy, i.e. the European Parliament. It will be much harder for him to get a foothold in the UK's first past the post system, but I suspect he knows all this. Once a narcissistic twat...
  11. Trump wouldn't have got away with what he has without the complicity and duplicity of the Republican Party. If Trump loses they've all got some serious soul-searching to do...

  13. Could be a record-breaking turnout, huge polling queues, might as well enjoy the wait...:)
  14. Where to begin? We're at the stage where Johnson needs to go and we have a Gov of National Unity. The current Tory party is incapable of governing on its own, it's purged what decent experienced politicians it had over Brexit, and we're now left with a cabinet of the all the talentless. And a reminder that in less than 9 weeks we exit the Brexit transition period, a time set aside for Gov and business to get everything ready for being outside the single market and the economic hit to the economy that will entail on top of the Covid costs, yet business still doesn't know what this 'oven-ready' deal will finally look like. A refusal to extend this period during a global pandemic is tantamount to gross negligence, a complete lack of duty of care to the well-being of this country and it's citizens...
  15. If you can't drive or don't want to rent a self-drive van as suggested, try Little Green Van & Man, they provided a very good, friendly service a few years back, cost was competitive at the time, ideal for smallish loads... https://lgvanman.com/

Good if children around obviously. Your Combi may have a max temp for heating the water, which can be adjusted, your user manual should tell if you have this facility and how to change it if it's been set too low for your tastes...

Hotels have them, stops people from accidentally scalding themselves, I thought most have an override facility, e.g. press a button to turn the valve more to get hotter water, and when the valve is switched off the safety button re-engages...
