    I wonder what the flag code of Brazil has to say about the flag being upside down. Here in the UK, the Union flag being flown upside down is a indication of distress.
  6. In my position I would have come straight to the point as soon as it became clear he wasn't interested by asking "Be honest, I'm boring you aren't I?".
  7. Overated in the United Kingdom: The London Eye / Millennium Wheel (now they are a dime a dozen all over the place) Underated: The National Botanical Gardens of Wales in Carmarthenshire.
  8. The BBC Verify service (part of the BBC World News output) has just published a diagram showing that the ship was at least 50m off course on the starboard side of its intended route, and was caused by a deviation to the route some 2 km before the bridge
  9. The BBC World Business Report is reporting that as a result of this accident, there are 40 ships stuck in the harbour of Baltimore, and that as a result the ECB (European Central Bank) has issued a statement that they believe their aim for inflation to reach 2% by the end of the second quarter of 2024 will be missed as a result of this accident.
  10. In the United Kingdom there are two main aspects of taxation, there is taxation levied by the government (income tax, value added tax, national insurance) and then there is a tax levied by the various local councils in the United Kingdom called "council tax" which is what I meant by state taxes to make the concept easier to understand. Each council is allowed to charge a certain amount based on the value of a home, all homes are banded from the lowest (around $50,600) to the highest (around $404,900) which pay a sliding slide from 6/9ths of the average cost to 24/9ths. The reason I do not pay council tax is because as all my monthy income is welfare it is not classed as income, therefore I fall below the threahold of payment.
  11. MuscleGuy Steve Muscleguy Steve was the informal stage name that Paul Stone, from Seattle, Washington state, used whenever we chatted on YAHOO! Instant Messenger. I first met him in 1998 when I first joined the internet looking for people with an interest in health and fitness, and believe that I encouraged him to enter his first contest in 2002 and from that time onwards we would always discuss muscle, strength and then eventually physical and mental stimulation with Paul's favourite fantasies being strapped into a mind transfer machine, naked, and enduring the agony of having his mind transferred into a Herculean muscleman and then ramming his old body until the muscleman in his old body begged for mercy Dennis Mason Dennis Mason was a personal trainer from Palm Springs, California who I first met online at the millennium and between 2003 and 2008 contributed to his radio show reporting on everything from health and fitness issues in the United Kingdom to, when the Labour MP for Barrow and Furness announced that he was standing down from Parliament following a diagnosis of depression, mental health issues in the United Kingdom. In both these cases I invited them both to come and stay with me in the United Kingdom during which time I would take them to local gyms, and then afterwards ask to take photos of them flexing and posing (either in training shorts, posing suits or naked) but sadly circumstances prevented that from happening and so I never got to meet either of them in person before they died.
  12. Yes, if only through disappointing circumstances. Before the first lockdown in the UK, I was only getting Carer's Allowance (£64 / $81) a week for being a carer for my grandparents, from which a total of £35 / $44 was taken away for food shopping and state taxes Now, I am on my own (both grandparents having died from Covid in health locations) and getting the higher level of Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payments (£1,658 / $2,099) on account of being diagnosed with ASD, from which £80 / $101 is taken for food shopping, £106 / $134 for streaming services, £19 / $24 in mobile costs and £150 / $190 in energy bills but with no state taxes to pay.
  13. The market closed at 39,314 yesterday (March 25) with some 686 points still to go, so whilst I believe it will get to 40,000, I cannot see it doing it this month
  14. Considering that the stock price has ranged from $176.25 on October 25th last year and $267.54 on December 21st in the same year (an increase $91.29 (51.8%) in around twelve weeks, it is clear that this stock has become very volatile of late and that is not a good basis for investment
