I'm forty something and have never tried a Beef Wellington.

This annoys me, mildly.

There's a restaurant here in sunny South Wales which does really nice food, and I'm lead to believe their Wellington is the best of them all (I've never had one either, but I don't like beef or mushrooms). It just sticks in my mind because it's referred to on the menu in the most elegant terms, but with (posh pasty) in brackets at the end. Always makes me giggle.

We upgraded to Office 2016, from 2010, and it's all kicked off as it's completely different. It really isn't and not difficult to use.

Tools like Inversqle are the reason I can't be involved in a rugby club. Boring arsehats.

Cyclists with helmet cams.
Why are they always the most pushy ones in terms of jumping red lights etc.

Must be time for a long overdue contribution to road tax for our two wheeled friends.
Or at least some kind of levy on new bikes that goes towards highway maintenance, particularly as cyclists are more likely to be damaged as a result of potholes than car drivers.

I agree with you regarding helmet cams and some riders. A lot of people do it for safety and evidence in the same way as dash cams.

 Doh
Apologies, my bad re "road tax".
Probably a debate has been had elsewhere, wether a bicycle constitutes a road using vehicle and as such should be subject to excise duty.

Regardless of that, chucking a bit of money at some decent highway maintenance would benefit all road users.

But then again a Toyota Prius for instance does not pay any VED?

Only until April next year though, after which looks like new hybrid car owners will get hammered.

"Getting rid of the green crap" I guess.

Sorry can't post the link, but Google "Toyota prius vehicle tax" and there should be an article from Which dated March this year.

The treasury realised the inflows from VED is diminishing now that cars are getting better at CO2 emissions and would vanish once all cars go electric, so they've changed the bandings to improve the tax take.
