My Dell monitor has a 3,000,000 lumen pulsing white LED to let me know that it's turned off, which is an incredibly helpful feature.

I really dislike personal number plates, apart from ones with poo based puns on drain vans. Even the most tenuous ones are good.

Ordinary voters would vote to cut off their own arms if they knew watching them do it would traumatise the people they hate

I was in a quiet countryside pub last week. 40% full, fire crackling away beside me, mediocre steak and chips in front of me. Old couple sat a few tables down, watching what appeared to be a youtube "paedo hunter" livestream with the phone propped up against her handbag on the table. Baffling.

It's a trap! in about three hours you'll feel like you've had a backstreet brain transplant.

Phoenix nights is so good that I haven't dare pay attention to anything he did after, and I never will. It's too risky. It's like watching a modern episode of red dwarf

I hope you're right, because I'm going to skip brushing my teeth.

not as tragic as the sadact who got his knickers in a twist because you didn't reply. You have the patience of a saint dealing with youtube comments day to day, I take my hat off to you.

Can anyone suggest a realistic way for a democracy to deal with the fact that about 1/3rd of the population are too stupid to be expected to vote in their own interests? I've tried making fun of them online and it's done neither of us any favours.

I have no issue paying my fair share of tax - I grew up skint, the state helped my family out and I'm keen for it to continue to do the same for others. But we've hit a step where reasonable expansion would benefit HMRC and the local council an order of magnitude more than it would me.

We're turning work away, but the combo of marginal tax rates, and the loss of business rates relief (if we build another office inside our current premises!) means that taking on staff to increase turnover by 25% would end up with the vast majority of that 25% ending up lost to tax. Why bother?

I've grown my business to a point where taking home another 20-30% in my pocket would take such a huge leap, that I've just let it stagnate. I'm at the point where my marginal tax rate is so high that there's no real point taking on more staff and expanding, risk/reward doesn't make sense.
