Yeh my birds on salary and gets paid monthly. Us tax dodging financial sharks make it rain on fridays mainly
moved inter company last summer. Went paid at end of month to middle of month. They have yet to realise that I was paid two additional weeks from former location. So have half a months cash sat in an account just in case, when it hits July I’m spending it.
The best example of the scale out of what has happened out there that i've heard, it's the equivalent of the whole of the UK being wiped out. Those big white tents look good, they've got heaters in them, that have a chimney (can't think of the correct name for it) come out the side of the tent. But I gather it can still be cold in them of night. From what I'm gathering in todays reports, they need structural engineers (they didn't use that name), but they need people to assess the buildings with cracks in them, for someone to decide who can go back in their homes and who can't. I think they are quickly moving from a rescue situation to one where they need to get where possible people back in there homes, good luck with that. Also there is a fear for them to overcome, that if it has any damage will it crumble under another quake which can't be ruled out, double edged sword. Sounds like over two decades of bad planning, as everyone in Turkey pays an earthquake tax, but guess what, it got lost in the central fund lol. Suggestion is the only reason it was called an earthquake tax, was because they knew people wouldn't complain paying it....fooking taking the piss that. You have to ask why new buildings weren't built to a minimum earthquake standard, much like they are in Japan.
Someone just set up a donor kebab station on one of the refugee/rescue camp, that'll be me pushing through to the front of that queue.
From the guardian Turkey has introduced new building codes, requiring new construction to be earthquake resilient, not least following the 1999 Izmit earthquake in which over 17,000 people died, but these have often been loosely enforced in a country where over half of all buildings were put up illegally.
Think that is the next step if it doesn't move by its own accord. Ultrasound to break up the stone Infinitely preferable to a telescope up the japs eye.
Down Tewkesbury for the weekend, since last night, must be a dozen pubs in the town, gonna start a crawl about 5.30, see how many we can fit in before we hit the balti house around 9.30
I'm meant to annually but the pandemic put a stop to that and i'm not sure i can be bothered to chase them up as some of the operatives are good so only a bit of discomfort but at the other extreme some are ****ing terrible to the extent i refused yo have it done anymore till they got a new bloke .
They checking your bladder? Both times I was left sat with my thumb on my non while the anaesthetic/lube gel took effect.
