New page, same question. Does anyone know if there are more rebates coming to UK households? I received some council tax rebate, wondering if there was something still coming for energy bills. Is it still that �200 bullshit that you have to pay back?

Its been doubled to �400, we no longer have to pay it back, and should start seeing it in October. There's also additional cost of living payments for those who qualify (see the link posted Tarnop above)

He's using their own phrasing against them which will highlight right-wing hypocrisy, a highly successful tactic that definitely doesn't just further culturally embed tory framing of the issue!

Great, thanks mates. Just saw that the estimates on the next energy bill increases were too low so just trying to brace myself for that

Malcolm: And who was it that did your media training? Myra Hindley? I mean, it was terrible, all this � hands were all over the place. You were like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra! It was like watching John Leslie at work!
Ben: Yes, I know all of that, and it just kind of fell away. God, it was like one of those dreams when you're wandering around Covent Garden or something in just your vest and everyone's staring at you.
Jamie: I think it was much worse than that, I mean, how many people see you in Covent Garden, a few thousand? Your meltdown was witnessed by 1.2 million people. That's more people than saw Al Jolson in his entire career. And that's Al loving Jolson!
Malcolm: He loves Al Jolson.
Jamie: The Governor!
Ollie: 'Maaammy.'
Jamie: You take the piss out of Jolson again, and I will remove your iPod from its tiny nano-sheath, and push it up your cock! And then I'll plug some speakers up your arse, and put it onto shuffle with my loving fist! And every time I hear something that I don't like, which will be every time that something comes on, I will skip to the next track (to Ben) by crushing your balls!

We now have two separate meanings for crypto-fascist and somehow they both mean the same thing in practice. Now that's efficiency!

Yeah my housemate said the same thing, and our doctor friend tipped us off about fexofenadine being OTC now and it's night and day, apparently.

On that note, my desktop amplifier just died/started acting bad, maybe because of the heat, so I've ordered a cheapish class D amplifier in the same power range, literally just line level goes in, speaker power comes out, with a lot less waste heat than class A or AB amplifiers.

I have no idea what they were thinking with the branding though.

Unless your relative is like super famous I find it dubious anyone in customs is going to recognise or care about the value of art.
