I don't know why, but amused me to find that Mr Osborne has gone metric with his metaphors.
Chancellor George Osborne has confirmed he will be "coming after" stamp duty avoidance with "aggressive" new measures in this week's Budget.
Buying homes through a company to avoid the tax was "completely unacceptable" and he pledged to "come down on that practice like a tonne of bricks".

Just 3 hours in the garden today. One of those days where it looks like I've done nothing, but it was hard graft today
Pics will follow

Resetting those stones to vertical(ish) was a beast of a job
And there was about 2 hours work "under" the now lovely bark chippings - removal of roots, clearing, reducing levels, removing a tree, removing a fence!
Still got a bit to do on this side, especially in the rockery bit, and then we start on the other side, although tbh, im going to get a joiner to do the new fence and decking, I never was any good a joinery

Looking much better now though Guy.
Isn't it satisfying messing about with stuff like that outdoors?.

It is, very much so. My problem is, I hate getting started! I procrastinate so much that I usually manage to avoid doing it. Ive managed a cunning plan this time thou, which is to do enough so that I feel ive achieved something, but leave something to make sure I go back (you may notice the tree half cut down still). Despite my inability to start, once I get going I am unstoppable. I would say my greatest trait is being able to make to with what I have and be imagainative enough to make things work with the few tools I do have. I once remeber at university I changed a door handle with a knife and my girlfriends clog. I cant wait till its finished now, I reckon 3 more weekends (and a joiner) should have my whole garden done (the pictures you currently see are only 50% of the garden) |

OK. Genuine question.
Chancellor George Osborne says he will relax Sunday trading laws during the Olympics.
How can he do that? Either they laws, or they are not. Surely he can't change the law to suit himself.

No expert but I reckon it could be done pretty quickly on something like this, which I'm assuming wouldn't be too contentious (apart from with Boshi & his Jebus-loving mates) http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/laws/ |

It takes forever. Ole Ozzy is saying he might decide to change it for the Olympics, and then presumably change it back. |
