Same mostly harmless tax nerd, cynic & petrolhead; same character-lite handle. Occasional music & cat content.
Was a little apprehensive about an entire symphony of Mahler after previous run-ins with his work on the radio, but actually really enjoyed the symphony orchestra of the Junior Royal Academy performing his 1st Symphony this evening (may have helped that it was live of course)

I’d also be keen to hear from someone who has perhaps had a Will dispute with their deceased parent’s partner or the children of their parent’s partner

I’m looking to talk to an adult who was or is part of a blended family, about how they feel the finances worked or didn’t work as the parents involved managed the needs of the different children.

The algorithms are making it a lot harder to spread the word about these online talks. Although numbers are still reasonable, it would be a great help if folk were able to give the 30 December event a quick share 🙂

This thing on? Hello! My name's Lewis and I'm a freelance motoring journalist, writer, and author, from the UK.
I'm primarily into classic and modified cars – well, anything that moves under its power, to be honest – and I'm often found at auctions, on eBay, or in the garage.

![[TWO PINTS OF BEER are on a pub bar, one is PERONI and one is a brown Christmas-themed beer]
1
PERONI:
Hello there
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Hello Peroni
2
PERONI:
So nice to have someone new on the lineup!
And you are…?
3
CHRISTMAS BEER:
You know who I am, Peroni.
4
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I am Brown Christmas Liquid.
I come back each year.
5
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Every time with a new name, and a new horrible ingredient.
Last year I was Reindeer Stomper. This year I am... Cheeky Elf.
6
PERONI:
Oh god
You were on the bar for two months and…
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Three pints sold, aye.
7
CHRISTMAS BEER:
I’m a seasonal blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, orange peel, nutmeg and this year, for reasons of late-capitalist sadism, vanilla.
8
CHRISTMAS BEER:
My name is Cheeky Elf,
I taste of jam,
and I want to d*e.
9
PERONI:
Well somebody’s trying you
CHRISTMAS BEER:
Poor bastard
[A hand comes down to lift CHRISTMAS BEER to sip the pint]

🤔 Corruption may seem far away from our normal lives. But it’s actually in our communities, our economy, and our politics too.
🌍 It’s a whole-of-society problem that needs a whole-of-society solution.
