Political and general chat

Taxes optional but greatly appreciated

Thanks for the new thread.

Loving all the Welsh even though I have no idea what it means (except the title!)

No tax as of yet but I’m about to embark on a 3 hour trip further north so may have some later!

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

Bore da! Diolch to Duncin for the new thread.

I am a tax avoider usually, but this time I have some arsehole tax. This was parked in a disabled bay, no blue badge on display. Luckily there was another space free, but any disabled person who came along after us would be out of luck because of this selfish idiot.

Morning all - some Lego from an exhibition in Leeds

Lovely view for tax .

Diolch yn fawr for the new thread @DuncinToffee, I lived in Wales for over 11 years as a child, yesterday we were near Conwy for a funeral and I enjoyed singing Calon Lan in Welsh. I only have a little spoken Welsh now, but my grammar school had a stream for pupils with Welsh as their first language and it was a compulsory O Level subject. We had alternate weeks of Welsh and English assemblies so I still remember some hymns.

Sadly I have to tell you that DH had very bad news about his health yesterday morning and we have more scans and tests this week. It is not curable, but depending on the results this week it may be something he can live with for a time. I may be around less than usual, but will still keep up when I can.

Tax of Conwy Castle the last time we visited as it was dark last night when we came home.

Bore da.
Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee

Welsh tax attached. St Catherine's island and lifeboat at lovely Tenby.

@Evenstar I am so sorry to hear this. Sending you and your DH love. We are here for you to offload if you ever feel the need. ❤️

@Cheguevarahamster love Tenby, many happy days spent there as a child.

So sorry to hear about your husband @Evenstar. It must be a very difficult time for you. Sending love and support.

Oh I’m so sorry @Evenstar - sending lots of love

Love and support for @Evenstar from me too.

Diolch yn fawr am yr edau newydd. Treth fel arfer.

Oh @Evenstar, I’m so very sorry. Sending you much love and a massive virtual hug. 🫂

Very sorry to hear about your DH @Evenstar. Best wishes from the Grumpy household💐

So sorry @Evenstar, sending love and best wishes to your DH.

@Evenstar , so sorry to hear your news. We're all rooting for you.

I'm sorry, @Evenstar Wishing you well.

I’m sorry to hear that @Evenstar and I hope our regional NHS specialists can provide help, support and a clear path forward for you both as far as is possible. I have heard nothing but good things about that specialism from family and friends.

Virtual hug @Evenstar

Thank you all 💐

@Saucery that’s good to hear and things do seem to be moving quickly

Apparently the number of ex prisoners serving 12+ month sentences gaining employment on release has more than doubled since Labour came to power and appointed James Timpson.

That's the sort of news that should be getting through.

In some quarters it will be alleged that those figures are fixed because nothing this government does could ever be positive.

@cardibach , ei is its or his/her, e (or o in the Gogledd) is short for ef.

e,g, Ei syniad ef oedd 6 7. 6 7 was his idea
(Word for word it's 'His idea him was 6 7'.)
