How Was Your Day?

[RobHawk]

I've just tried to upload, don't know how to do it though.

WTF is that?

[Jon the Hat]

Just found out I am being taxed on my pension plan. Barstewards Noticed it was less last couple of months but thought it due to the Xmas period. Am I supposed about the ones that don't pay it now?

Also my last wage has gone into my account for my part time job. Called HRMC but they can't do anything until the end of the month until I officially finish. Don't know what is happening with it but I will carry on in a voluntary basis anyway.

DNO have applied for a community media award. Prize is 2.5k. Good chance of getting it based on the last year. It has to be spent on media stuff though.

The place we were looking at for the radio station may not happen. It is at a community centre and run by City Council staff. This means we may be restricted in what we say. We would not be able to criticize Peter Soulsby's policies to much. Also we would be restricted with the content. That is not free speech. Anyway there are other possibilities.

Was going out earlier but made late with all the phoning around.

 

Taxes are good no?  You are obviously earning enough there - congratulations. 

 

Why would a community centre restrict what you say about the Mayor?  Sounds like an excuse to me.

They have the say whether we go on air. If we are controversial they can refuse permission.

Good luck.

 

 

All the best!

 

 

Break a leg! (Not literally, I believe that constitutes a fail these days)

 

Thankyou all.

 

I need to see this video of Taft I'm intrigued.

[Dan LCFC]

What the **** was that. Released.

I think the pensions are ran from County Hall.  Speak to your HR dept, they 'should' be able to help.

[sphericalfox]

Yes, as  above. Speak to your HR dept or through your line manager.

Why would you want to opt out of a public sector pension? Unless you're already loaded. I'm assuming you must already be loaded.

[pSinatra]

Yes - I'm a premises Manager.

 

If you're paying £100 a month into your pension (for example), remember that your pension is taken out before your wages are taxed.  You will not get £100 extra net pay if you opt out.  That money will be taxed & you will receive considerably less.

what's considered controversial?

[MooseBreath]

what's considered controversial?

You're kidding? In the corridors of power, DNO are listed alongside the likes of Al-Qaeda and Al-shabaab as major threats to the system. Just the mention of DNO is enough to strike paralysing fear into the hearts and minds of even the most hardened local politicians. There's no way they'll let such an extreme and rebellious organisation into one of their buildings.

I just got back from a splendid sojourn to London to see Jude Law in Henry V. He made a damn fine fist of it. The last act is pretty weird though, it was like Shakespearian David Brent.

Found out I got the best mark out of 360 people doing a module at uni. Nice start to the year!

You weren't in the Oxford worst 50 marks that was e-mailed around then?

1. Don't opt out unless you're only on a short term contract, you won't find a better pension with ease.

2. County forms are correct. County Council manages city pensions, I fill in county ones too.

I had a choice of lodger between a woman from London on a 3 month temp contract in whitwick or a 40 year old czech bloke who works at bardon. I backtracked and chose the woman. I've no problem with the bloke whatsoever but its easier to trust a woman and gauge whether they're trustworthy or not.

I'm away all next week and woukd be more concerned if the Czech bloke would have had it.

You mean the woman is hot don't you.

I've not met her yet. I'm away this week too so my parents showed her around yesterday. Dad says 5/10.
