In the UK there is a crazy band between £100k and £125k where for each two pounds above £100k you lose one pound from your personal allowance (personal allowance is £12.5k).

The effective tax rate for this is 60% then it carries on at the regular 40%

Always has struck me as odd.

Never paid this rate myself because I don’t get paid enough. Apparently it disincentives doctors from doing overtime.

Slowly going downhill?

I think it’s in freefall (but what would I know I don’t go there anymore)

Fantastic bucket bong diagram.

I hope that cat is called Zorro

I need reading glass (sigh I got old) With an analogue watch face I can work out the time, blurred lines can be seen. Cant read blurred numbers.

Look down at the thighs and

Bash the bishop

This is the way

Ah yes, the UKs equivalent of the French’s escargot (snails)

WTF when did I type this? My box of wall lights is on a table whilst the non working one adorns my wall. Been that way for quite a while. Maybe today…

Big Red Butthole

You make a good point about prohibition, I guess that will have had a significant effect. Maybe there are more artisan spirits in the US now having been driven by people with secret stills making moonshine in that period. It’ll be interesting to see where you guys go with the relaxation of marijuana laws. Maybe people will be home breeding new strains.

Burn down the sub station to be sure…
