what keeps happening to my clothes

OwlFancier posted:

But even then what's the suggestion, that there's going to be a new tax band at 80k and it's going to be 25% which would be a massive cut? 25% higher? Putting the top rate at 70%?

What does it meeeean?

my best guess at something plausibly deniable that they can pretend they meant to say was that there will be at least 1 million people whose current overall tax rate (all tax paid/all income) will be over 25% when previously it was not. From my back of the envelope calculations that's people earning between roughly £68-75k? maybe that works out to 1,000,001 people or so i dunno

e: it's some interval between the 94th and 96th percentiles for income, the true commoners here
e2: i think i've hosed up my spreadsheet nobody quote this and hire a real accountant to do your taxes let this be a lesson for you

They don't do that up here, that's arguably the point if you're ordering something like plaice.

Youse are getting ripped

"You're getting ripped" when referring to London is the understatement of the century. I mean, this is a city where you can expect to pay £20 for a bowl of spaghetti bolognese.

I love London though. Best city in the world.

I only ever order cod and the skin is never left on.

Funny thing about chip shops: it's the only place where you'll indicate you want two of something by saying 'twice'. Like, 'cod and chips twice'.

I don't know where Jeremy Corbyn is right now or what he's doing but he's probably enjoying one of the best days of his life, certainly since becoming Labour leader, and I hope he's having a good time.

Edit: If I had to live in London I'd probably live off Guinness because it's cheaper than most of the food.

I have it on great authority (Gino D'Acampo) that fresh pasta is useless and the only reason they have it is because it makes them look good.

The long life dry pasta is a bit hard to cook right without getting hard inside or soggy outside but the short life stuff is just what I look for in food.

I believe that the whole point of pasta is for it to be dried and fresh pasta is a myth like goose fat.

Being an important Tory is like being the whip hand of a dog sled pulled by rabid wolverines. Woe betide anything that lies in front of you but woe betide you if they sense the hand isn't strong.

Labour is a stage coach where everyone sits comfortably and quietly so long as it's rattling along and then breaks out into a massive row as soon as it starts to slow down.

How bad do you have to gently caress up as a Tory for even the Telegraph's resident poo poo cartoonist to rip on your policy?

Their top article is about the Tory manifesto 'unravelling' too. This has not been a good day for them.

You don't gently caress it up, I like mine just done but if you buy the rock hard stuff it goes soggy outside before it cooks inside.

It's perfectly edible, the slightly soft stuff is just nicer.

1) Salt water heavily
2) Bring up to a strong boil
3) Throw in pasta, stir once and wait until cooked

Not quite rocket science, is it

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Remember at the start of the campaign when the Tory campaign was non existent and conventional wisdom was that before long they would get their poo poo together once they got a team in place?

Considering they're still leading in the polls they really are panicking.
