    Things I'm already dreading about next year

    i) That wedding

    ii) VAT going up

    iii) Having to engage with agents when the current contract expires

    iv) My birthday. A big one with a zero on the end. Officially enter "old phart" territory (in reality already there)

    Still the good news is I'm not deid yet...

      A big 1 with a zero on the end? 10?

      What about the rioting, looting and crime?

          No-one riots anymore. Where do you think this is - France?

              This message is hidden because MarillionFan is on your ignore list.

              Blimey, he must have even more time on his hand than Gordon Brown. Everytime I post it seems he's lurking to reply, despite the fact he knows I've put him on the ignore list. Still, if it keeps him happy..

                Me too. I wonder if it's the same one. People keep saying it's when "life begins", but I'd just as sooner not have it thanks.

                Another thing I'm dreading is my car insurance renewal.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  I'm looking forward to next year, can't be any worse than this one.

                  BTW I'm going to be 40 too, I'm not bothered in the slightest.
                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    If it's any consolation, my car insurance premiums dropped significantly after that one.

                    Finding a decent broker helped too.
