Back from the pub, I enjoyed it.
Sun is shining but forecast shows thundery rain so i aren't chance a walk.

Slight snooze, interrupted by a WhatUp message..
I'm having a bagel with honey & a coffee to get over it.. 🤷‍♂️

Right! I've got the Puch all back together and up and running. I test rode it down the lane and it seems fine.
Got the Velo Solex on the bench now, I'll see if I can get it running and I have a possible buyer for it locally.

The cheek of Wasps nowadays .
I've just opened the fridge and there was a wasp flying around inside. Its some 5 hours since i last opened it but the wasp seemed happy enough. No idea where it disappeared to though.
TBH that is one creature I have no qualms about killing....stingy nasty little feckers.

Link been taken down, but as we know they want us to pay income tax on state pensions,

There is a certain member on here that would say that is mere child's play compared to his abilities.
I won't name Drago as he seems to be a nice chap.

I already pay basis rate tax on my private pensions & my couple of days work.
There's 'talk' of NI contributions on any earnings received after retirement age.

Its not news, as such. Some think tank full of PEONs has suggested bending over pensioners to save the country. Theyre nobodies, don't worry.

And in any case, my biggest pension is an injury award so is tax free!
