Soylent Yellow posted:Shouldn't be an issue. £3000 is chickenfeed in bank terms. I deal with a lot of customers who pay in cash for *reasons*, and they've never had any issues withdrawing several thousand over the counter. Multiple withdrawals of £9999 however..... When I worked in anti money laundering, you were much, much more likely to get your transactions very closely scrutinised for 9800-9999 than you were for just withdrawing 20k. People seemed to think there was just a trigger at 10k and anything else didn’t matter.

Pistol_Pete posted:I was thinking about this: bloody hard to hide these days, if you don't have people willing to help you out and conceal you. Did you ever watch Hunted on channel 4? Gameshow where the contestants need to hide from a crew of 'Hunters' who track them using CCTV, ANPR, bank transactions, email tracing etc. Was good fun, (a lot was simulated, as they didn't actually have access to bank transactions etc the rule was that if they did an ATM withdrawal the camera crew with them would phone in their location, etc). The reason I mention it is in one of the series two brothers did a really good job of cleaning everything in advance, except they forgot to empty the recycling bin on their gmail which had an enquiry about a campsite on the coast. Except they hadn't, they had left that on purpose and instead went to Bradford where they disappeared into the Muslim community for a while, with people who would let them stay with them without spending any money (which is the downfall of a lot of the contestants).

Marmaduke! posted:Lol it's like when my wife was getting a new front door, literally told them we could spend no more than £1000, their quote was an extremely generous 995 I’ve been getting this a lot with quotes for work at my business. “I need x y a” ‘What’s your budget?” No motherfucker, you tell me what it will cost - I know nothing about this, you do it all the time. Knowing what I have to spend should have nothing to do with it. When you don’t give a budget you can get all sorts of fun quotes. I had three quotes for doors at the front of the railway arch to keep the heat in over winter. £3.2k, £3.7k, £12.7k(!) If I had given a budget of £5k I suspect I would have received quotes for £5k, £5k, £5.3k.

Are they the lot who unfurled the banner of Mussolini previously? Because that was pretty good in my book. To be clear - it wasn’t a pro Mussolini banner.

NotJustANumber99 posted:i was in wren kitchens earlier trying to design ym kitchen and the guy put a narrow wine chiller in and was like 6 bottles! I had Wren design the kitchen in my old flat, and they sent a guy round who spend two hours on his laptop modelling out everything. I then spent more than 3 weeks hassling them to try and get a start date for the work, before I gave up, sent the plans to a local guy and he built it for 2/3 the price. It had that same vertical wine cooler. That’s my Wren story.

OwlFancier posted:Why does terry limit himself to making only commonplace shapes, why not terry's chocolate tesseract? Hell, let’s just wake the Old Ones and get some proper non-Euclidean chocolate shapes going on. Can’t be worse than this government anyway. I think this WhatsApp enquiry is interesting because it’ll probably be the last time we ever get this sort of insight into government. No-one realised their WhatsApp messages could become public so it’s a level of information we just aren’t used it. And it won’t happen again, now they’ll learn to use disappearing messages and the like.

The BBCs live blog coverage of this is really pro match, it’s nice to see. “Protest remains peaceful” a lot, pointing out that all the arrests are counter protestors etc. Refreshing.

forkboy84 posted:The same year's Tour de France had some similar train rides. So many in fact that the guy who finished 5th was named winner (despite having also been warned for taking a car). And brandy was a regular into the '60s. Noble sport As was dropping a sugar cube with cocaine on it onto the riders tongue from the team car. Or riding through villages where the villagers would ambush and beat the other riders so their local guy could get past. All without any gears on the bike. First 50 years of the tour was wild.

HopperUK posted:Great now I'm thinking about the scale of the universe and I have to go to work in a minute When you shuffle a deck of cards you’ve created a pattern never created before. There are more options (8 followed by 67 zeros) than atoms on earth. Sleep well! Also, for Fairytale of New York, just sing “you scumbag you maggot, you’re cheap and you’re haggard”, as that’s what Kirsty herself sang live after being educated on how problematic the original lyrics were. 343 is far fewer than the number of different shuffles possible with a pack of 52 cards.
