#FeedbackRequest Redid the song. Higher Key. Singing changes. Not quite there yet but closer than I've ever been. The rain is an unfortunate side effect of recording in my van - adds a nice touch maybe. Paint a Sunshine (Demo) youtu.be/jtjMQwjC6c8?... #SongWriting #Piano #Music #Singing

Self employed and in the UK? Tax is changing massively. See my screenshot for details. Excuse my fruity language, I stopped giving a shit decades ago 😂
Hey everyone

This is a rare admin post.  I'd rather spread honey on my ding dong and teabag a nest of ants than do these but whatever.

In April, the wonderfully competent government has decided instead of mentally traumatising the self employed yearly, it should be a four times yearly affair.   One tax return simply won't do.

So.

We *might* tighten up our payment side of things a little if I can find the mental fortitude to do so.  I am absolutely not going back to invoices, I cannot be arsed with paperwork and it will make me want to drive my van off a cliff.

So it will be a continue in a pay as you go fashion but possibly with a weekly payment run expectation as a default (most do to be fair) so we are on top of all the crap required in plenty of time at the end of each quarter.

This doesn't mean we're going to turn into the payments gestapo, far from it.  Just means we would politely ask people to try when they can to pay weekly but not to break a sweat if it's too much of a pain in the backside.  

Payment methods won't really change - Bacs, PayPal, cash.

Hope you're all enjoying your Sunday.  If anyone can recommend a good therapist who deals with an accute case of dread and anxiety due to the evil bastards running our country and the "rest of the west", send me your recommendations!

Over and out 😊

I'm a fucking grown man in my mid forties and the grief I'm feeling for the world I used to know is visceral. Humanity is so broken right now. Maybe it always has been but whatever rose tinted specs I had on before, I want them back.

Playing board games with family ❤️❤️❤️ I can highly recommend the Five Nights At Freddy game. We watched the YouTube tutorial 17 times and had such an amazing fun time. If anyone knows the designer of said game, lemme know so I can hunt him down and skin him alive. Anyone wanna adopt my kids?
The worst board game of all time.

The "RIGHT" is eating itself. Nom nom nom guys, don't stop. Join R/Conservative on Reddit, stay silent, just watch. Trump is alienating his cabinet even to his psycho base and maybe he kills MAGA himself. Keep going Cheeto Pedo.

The park. #Photography #Nikon #Z8 #40mm
Dimly lit indoor parking garage with white support pillars and bluish fluorescent lighting. A pedestrian crosswalk with white stripes and yellow grid lines spans the foreground. A ceiling-mounted sign reading “PAY STATION” points right. The garage is mostly empty, with a few parked cars and a bicycle visible in the background. The atmosphere is quiet and moody.

Framed prints of a castle and a flower hang above him, adding a touch of personal and local charm.

The UKs space programs latest rocket is apparently close to completion. The model codenamed Shuttle BR3X1T G4MM0N is revolutionary due to it's ability to elevate itself using only hot air, borrowing ancient balloon flight tech. Here's hoping for a successful maiden voyage.

One of these little s**** would take your hand off if you look at him the wrong way due to some anxiety which previous owners said was due to a bad experience at the groomers. We've been on the receiving end of him too many times to count but we just shower him with love and try and understand.
Two long-haired dogs sleep nestled together on a car seat, their faces gently touching and eyes closed, radiating warmth and peaceful companionship.

Whitehouse released photo from his latest medical.
The dumbest president in the history of the USA smirks while a doctor in a white lab coat examines his ear with an otoscope, its light casting a glow on the wall behind them. The scene blends medical focus with comedic tension, highlighted by the man's exaggerated expression and lack of brain.

😁

Four-panel meme from Terminator 2: Judgment Day.  
Panel 1: A suited man asks, “WHERE DOES WALMART KEEP THE TERMINATOR TOYS?”  
Panel 2: A woman responds, “I DON’T KNOW. WHERE?”  
Panel 3: The man replies, “AISLE B, BACK.”  
Panel 4: The woman lunges aggressively at the man.

🔍 Explanation of the Joke:  
This meme plays on the iconic Terminator catchphrase “I’ll be back,” famously delivered by Arnold Schwarzenegger. The punchline “AISLE B, BACK” mimics the rhythm and sound of “I’ll be back,” while also pretending to answer a question about toy placement in Walmart. The final panel exaggerates the reaction—Sarah Connor attacking—adding absurdity and visual punch to the pun. It’s a blend of wordplay, pop culture reference, and slapstick escalation.
