I'd also be careful with 'not telling the bank'. I noticed a new 'failure to declare reportable facts' clause, when I renewed the landlord's insurance this time around. A reportable fact being anything the insurance company might be interested to know. My interpretation was should you make a claim and had not already told the insurance company that the bank didn't know you were overseas or the mortgage was still residential, then that would be reason for them to not pay out.

Wow. That is sad news. Hugs to all x x

Just flown back into Canberra from Bundaberg. Weird being on a plane with masks, pretending that they offer protection when we're all crammed in. Going to watch an episode or two X-file and head to bed. Merry New Year one and all. x x

So that's no for protection from prosecution once he leaves office?

I'm not.. You threatened civil war when Johndoe said: "the hatemonger hopefully won't be protected by his office and he will get his day in court should he spout off as much as he did when protected."

Are you proposing immunity from all future prosecution, like Mugabe and Putin were able to negotiate?

Takeaways still 'seem' expensive here, but I found it really important to not convert the price of everything back into GBPs.

Been here nearly 10 years and I am still disarmed by how cheerful teens are working at the checkouts and fast food outlets. If they ask you how your day is going, they generally seem to care and are interested in your answers. It took me a long time to get used to it and have an answer ready.

This... there is just no way I'd be heading to the UK any time soon.

Of course not.

I've been enjoying my glow in the dark X Files Record Store Day more than I expected:

Don't forget Wogan 30,000 honorarium each year for presenting Children in Need... Or sending celebrities to orphanages in Africa to discover themselves for Comic Relief. Yeah, I'm bitter.

Is really hard to disagree with this. Reminds me of Beckham bitching that he shouldn't have to spend his own money on charities to get a knighthood.

This 150%. Would have been a great way to spend a relatively small amount to help the country's poorest children. But goes against the Tory ideology.
