1.5hrs for me.
I would imagine whinging, complaining, mocking, being a cunt and generally being unpleasant will be my 'thing' for the rest of today.

do something about your ex, call the filth, tell them you have an agreement and ask them to escort you to her door

Nothing is new.
I can do nothing. If someone is breaching a court order you have to take them back to court. This costs several grand I don't have and will achieve nothing.
I can't even afford a Batman suit or any climbing gear :((((

They're bored with me doing that.
Most nights I hang around outside the station and offer them some 'gear' when they finish their shifts. I tell them it's 'dynamite stuff'.

I'm also thinking that it's annoying you can't give money to "cool" research projects like you can give to charity.
Or not that I can find. I'd rather give £5 a month to development of stable fusion power than to stop stray dogs being put down.

well it made fusion, it wasn't a net gain.

That's actually a great idea (the donation part, not necessarily the fusion part).
I'm surprised no one's facilitated that. Maybe you should?

not worth doing if you're only going to get a tenner a month. And you wouldn't know which project would be considered "cool"

How about the charity holds the money and gift aid,
uses interest to process payments quality control running costs etc
then does a big donations once every quarter or something to the research projects required.
Would be pointless unless a lot of people use it though, obviously.

That is basically how* the Wellcome Trust, Cancer research, etc work already.
I actually think it's quite a good idea, just probably unmanageable under current charity regs.
*not in practice, obviously, but in concept.

It does seem a bit annoying because I'm getting a little extra a month
because of the tax changes and wouldn't mind putting that towards something but most charities leave me cold.
Strange that the model has only been used for health based research before.

The other 58 minutes will be spent making out it takes longer than 2 minutes to do this.
I might do some more research on the town Reading to muster some excitement for the stag do at the end of the month.
