CS was once a vibrant site offering the possibilities of finding romance among the copious volume of regularly active members. These days, the number of people online at any one time barely fills one page.
Has CS’s heyday come and gone?
Just found out that pension annuities are subject to Pay As You Earn (P.A.Y.E.) tax in the UK.
Errrrrrr, Hello, Mr Government, I’ve just stopped working, so am not earning anything, why therefore do I have to pay tax on my pension?
Ah! Mr honest gullible citizen that has been paying tax all your working life, its because your pension payments were not included in your tax-free wage allowance whilst you were working.
So.... For those of you that work in the UK and earn under the minimum tax band, the government will get their pound of tax flesh by taking a slice of your pension earnings when you retire.
Fortunately, there is a loophole called the “Double Taxation Convention” whereby if you live in a foreign country where you pay tax, you are eligible to reclaim any tax payments made in the UK. Of course, to do this, there are wads of complicated forms to fill out meaning that I have to work in order to claim my refund.
Very taxing!
What type of cool refreshing drink reflects your character?
For example....
Are you a “Mai tai”, a bit spicy with a zest?
Or
Perhaps you are a “Daiquiri”, sweet and chilled?
to.... ME, ME, ME, ME...
Yeah! At last, hit the big Six.
Have to say the last four months have be a long slog during which time I have doubted on many occasions that this day would ever arrive.
But, here I am and it feels fantastic!
I initially typed quite a nice blog detailing my thoughts on this subject, but then thought, “bugger it, better get straight to the point”.
Will all you hijackers
that have invaded the blogs please go back (piss off) to the forums that you all ruined with your incessant off topic blabber.
Or at least dont post on my blogs.
Why is it that members (along with several bloggers) deem to regularly hide their profile?
I know there are times I have upset people with comments or blogs I have posted leading people to hide their profile whilst they go away and sulk.
Apart from that, can’t see the point as to why a profile would be hidden..... Can you?
There seems to be a new trend developing on the CS blogs. At first I thought the word Vlog was a type error as the “v” and “b” are next to each other on the keyboard, but no, the word vlog refers to a video blog.
Of course, videos are not new on CS, there is a shed load of them posted in the “Video” section. What is interesting however, is that members are now posting videos of themselves on the blogs and even going as far as co-operating with other members in the making of.
I am asking myself whether this is a passing phase or a trend here to stay. I see the value of these types of videos in other applications such as a profile addition, however, as far as the blogs are concerned, I am not convinced they are a good idea, that said, for those that do post vlogs, I look forward to more proficient postings from the amateurish ones seen so far.
Are relationships as complicated as some people make them out to be?
Surely, once the initial adjustments have been made, the relationship should run smoothly, in synchronization with each other, almost automatic?
They say the car you drive reflects your personality. So, what do you drive and does your car promote the type of person you are?
I drive a 4liter V8 Lexus... Yup! Thats me... A luxurious ride with plenty of poke!
Started wearing pajamas recently and want to know, why do they make jammies with long legs?
I think all pajamas should be made only knee length as every morning when I wake up, the legs are all bunched up around my knees!
Plus... They are a damm nuisance when it comes to having sex. By the time I have struggled to get the darn things off, “it” decides it no longer wants sex.
P.S. I definitely think these are both signs that I’m getting old.
Then see if you can get the end down your throat. How do surgeons do that?
Woke up after the operation with this tube coming out my nose that had a bag tied to the end, which swung around my waist. Not only that, but, someone had used red scotch tape to secure it to my nose.
For 24 hours swallowing was painful with a disgusting metallic taste, no food or drink allowed. Eventually the nurse comes to remove the tube. Closing my eyes I asked her to pull the tube slowly. The gagging sensation was such that I extended out my hand to hold her off, not realizing that I was groping her boob whilst trying not to puke.
Just goes to prove... There is no pleasure without pain.
