Properly biltonged definitely works there

Copperhead Road is pure alt rock with a southern twist, ‘Train a Comin’ more down home folksy country-ish. He voice really shines on the latter. I might throw some Steve Earle later after I get out of this Frank Zappa wormhole I’m currently in :smile:

Mildly irked as I was a bit peckish and fancied a round of toast, but the toaster seems to have stopped working. I actually cleaned it yesterday to remove the excess crumbs. So much for good intentions.

Just realised The Pogues aren’t on the list. What a fucking idiot.

Without a doubt. A Pair Of Brown Eyes is in my all time top 10.

‘Rum Sodomy and the Lash’ could be the best album released in the 80’s.

Chai time.

Guys, I think I’ve got some otherworldly connection with goldfinches ever since I decided to get a tattoo of one. There was a dead one on the path near the shops 2 days ago, just it’s black and white feathers left of it (bear in mind I’ve NEVER seen one in my suburb), later that night there was a goldfinch feather on my doorstep. One was singing at me in Mediacity where it’s just concrete and an unlikely place for them to be, and I found her nest. Went back yesterday and another one kept flying along rooftops near my hoyse as I walked…singing loudly like it wanted my attention, when I got to mediacity the nest had vanished. Then walking home hours later the same goldfinch was staring at me from the roof again, and a few streets later 4 feathers fell out of the tree in front of me and landed at my feet.

Basically, I’m in a pretty version of The Birds.

Or you’re going to end up in a real life Disney film and they’ll flutter in and help you get dressed and that.

Oh…and I walked past a ginger cat lying in a doorstep with two magpies just sat with it! When I walked past they all stared at me like that bit in Rick and Morty where the squirrels realise the humans can hear them.

Tried to get a photo but one flew away before I could.

I like it. Love Action is one of the best pop singles of that decade.

More or less.

The important this is whether your employer has you on PAYE (pay as you earn) or not. In most cases you will be and work will automatically deduct tax/national insurance from your gross salary, paying it to HMRC for you.

If so, your payslips will show the deductions and show your gross (before tax) and net (after tax) salaries. If not, you’ll need to register with HMRC online to self assess.

As Keith says, they work it out based on your salary so you should pay an even amount of tax each month rather than nothing for a few months and then loads at the end of the year.

There are a few scenarios where you need to register for self assessment regardless, but unless you’re making a lot of money outside work or paid within the top 5% or so of the country they don’t apply to you.
