Both are used.

Could it be Big Sugar? or just "here's a target, let's shoot at it"

Better if all sports were banned to a different channel. Especially football.

The image that came into my head was Charles I - now that would have been some letter! with added warnings

Is there an international award for The Most Undiscoverable API?

Hope it’s a negotiating tactic.
Fear it’s just bloody stupid.

A punch & judy show in the margin

... actually, it was fortune.com

@remike.bsky.social 's command of English seems pretty good to me. 'Sum of water' is not at all idiomatic.

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social My daughter gifted me a sub but I couldn’t claim it because I was already a member, so (absent any obvious way to contact you) I cancelled my existing membership; still can’t claim the gift!!! What was I supposed to do? What can you do to help?

I’m saving my copy up for the holidays

Today would have been the 209th birthday of Augusta Ada, Countess of Lovelace

Pipp & Co’s doughnuts at Stroud Farmers’ Marked on Saturdays. We like the mixed berry sort - you do have to be careful not to get jam squirted on your clothes!

Why is it that people post the headline three times? and nothing else? Looks like incompetence

We used to have a copy of this, long gone to dust :-(

Have been looking at Unicode Normalization Forms (www.unicode.org/reports/tr15...). O. M. G.

Like the possibly apocryphal comment 'you are not meant to understand this'

I didn't listen to the whole thing, but it felt shouty. And C hadn't started shouting when I left.
It's like living in your parent's mansion with little income: come IHT you'll need to sell up

J O’B was talking (shouting) over his comments and not making the slightest attempt to understand what his point was. It may or may not have been a good point, and there might be counter-arguments. It would have been good to have had a discussion rather than a flat-out rejection.

In this case, Charlie is quite right

Continuing to live on the farm might well count as benefiting from the trust, depending I guess on how clever your lawyers were (relative to HMRC's lawyers, ofc).
The taper element does apply if the gift to the trust was above the IHT threshold.
Listen to me sounding as though I was an expert :-(

A settlor (the person who gave the property to the trust) can be a trustee, but can't be a beneficiary.

That happens at the other place, too.

The settlor can't be a beneficiary. And, unless rules are different for farms, the 7-year rule applies.

But I’ve only been here for a couple of days ...
