I was speaking to pre-eminent soviet analyst, Raoul, and we're thinking that a poker-based outing on Friday March 4th would be a class idea. How does that strike everyone?
There might be an eating and drinking option before the poker, and, although I didn't confirm this with Raoul specifically, a stripclub option afterwards.
I was nearly tempted to post a doodle poll to accompany this, such is the imprint of work. I'll also do up permission slips for anyone who, like me, needs multiple certifications to leave the house.

Pity the people swindled above didn't do the simple step of googling the person they were handing €25K to.

When my father died a few years ago my brother had to go to awful lengths to sort out the land that was transferred then into my mothers name. Fields that we own not in the right name, ones we didn't showing up too, it was a bit of a mess until he sorted it out.
Edit: Just paid to check the names were right and they are thankfully.Last edited by 6starpool; 15-02-22, 11:43.

Just got a thing there about my deferred DB pension scheme, that they will be making more offers to people to move their pension with an Enhanced Transfer Value offer. V for Vendetta if you see this, is there any general formula or standard ETV that can be expected based on what the preserved benefit is? I might not get an offer, they made offers to some former colleagues a few years back but I didn't get one. I think they were doing the higher value ones then, might be moving onto the next batch of people soon, but I've no idea if I'll be in that group, but I'd like to know what to expect. Is enhanced typically something standard, like 10%/15% or whatever above the normal transfer value you'd get if doing it off your own bat?

Yep, I only heard one story but it was pretty bad. He got bailed out by a very well known Irish businessman in that story and I find it hard to believe that it was the only time.

Looks like we'll have the opportunity of a two night break somewhere.
Top of the wishlist is a top class spa/pool.
The best I've been to is Seafield but we'd like to try somewhere new.
Any pointers?
Monart?
One of the best things about Seafield is the colour of the pool tiles, black/gold. Would like something similar. Have a weird dislike for the standard blue and white colour schemes of hotel pools.Last edited by Lazare; 15-02-22, 19:38.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

For what you're paying, there has to be better value. Leisure centre area is tiny also and if it's in any way busy is just uncomfortable

When we went to Seafield, the place was lovely but it was a wedding factory. The place was heaving. Pretty grim when you want a quiet weekend away, and some bogball team turned up on Sunday and turned the spa into a fucking playground.

My first big work project to completion. Clicked send on an application to the gov to give us an extra €2.75m for, ummm, stuff. You'd be amazed the amount of internal opposition to this there has been over the last month on the grounds of - doesn't more money mean we have to do more things."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil
