From the WC Leagues Tab so it counts!

As always!!!

However if I didn't have a pension I wouldn't pay 40% tax at all and I would pay 1/3 less tax.

Good thing you didn't write the bkool Power algorithm.

Or maybe you did

How about CG tomorrow and WC stage 8 on Saturday, provided @gbrown isn't planning a TTT then.

Yep sounds good can even do the TTT on Saturday

WFH, finish on time?
If I was WFH I'd probably not even get started.
And then my boss would say WTFH!
And
You're not WFH again and it's OTWP for you this week as well or it's P45 time.

Just got my 2015/16 tax summary and it's good to know that if I add my income from my Pay and Forces Pension then my Forces Pension almost pays my Tax and NIC's.
I suppose that makes sense as my pension is only 1/4 of my income.
Cripes I'm going to poor when I retire!
However if I didn't have a pension I wouldn't pay 40% tax at all and I would pay 1/3 less tax.
I only found out well after I hit 55 and my Forces Pension 'mature' that I could have deferred my payments and therefore get more when I have no other income later in life.
WTF, you can't take it with so I am spending it now on lush holidays and Mini parts.

Only just got my return in on time and a bill for £551 so not too bad, I have a understanding accountant and I hate doing paper work

Sorry, I don't think I'll be able to setup a TTT this Saturday, as I'm visiting family oop north!

Should be OK for Tuesday, if we can get enough teams of four together.

Yes Indeed!
Chaingang tonight at 7pm warmup.

New version of bkool indoor to be downloaded so don't leave it too close to 7pm.

Interestingly, when I had windows 7, I always had to uninstall the old bsim but now that I had windows 10 forced upon me it now always updates without having to remove the old one.

I bet they haven't fixed any of the obvious bugs that frustrate us on a day to day basis (e.g maximum of 8 league rides or favourites) - hopefully I'll be proven wrong!

Nope, no change there.

Nope, no change there.

The usual pattern is that they fix a few unimportant "bugs" or things we haven't even noticed and leave un-touched all the things that cause real frustration. Plus usually the addition of a new unnecessary feature which ends up breaking something else that was working fine!

Having said all that, being able to search for any route from within the sim would be a very welcome step forward

You're right. It looks like a tough one. Hope everyone's feeling fit tonight.
