Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Bloody Flickr again. I can see my photo's on my tablet & phone, but I can't log in using my Windows PC, just goes round in circles on the login, trying to create a new account, as they're changing the log in process away from Yahoo mail accounts

Several of the other EU countries are not far behind. http://www.worldstopexports.com/germ...port-partners/ I've also seen it said that the UK is BMW's biggest market. Again, according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/...-of-bmw-group/ the UK is fourth after USA, China and Germany, and the UK represents 9.6% of their sales. They certainly wouldn't want to lose all that market, but even if UK sales halved it would be manageable (compare to the reduced sales for VAG after dieselgate for example).

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Totally baffled! I was a long term Resident Alien (Green card holder) in the US. Since I was out the US for more than 1 year I had to surrender the Green Card (form I-407). I have 401k pension money (I paid in and my company matched it, it's stock market linked). I had to fill out a W8-BEN form which, I thought, stopped me getting taxed by the US. It turns out that I must now fill in a form 8854 for the IRS, which is ok (well, not really) but it asks a yes/no question like this:
Did you become at birth a US citizen and a citizen of another country and do you continue to be a citizen of, and taxed as, a resident of that country? My answer requires no and yes, I've never been a US citizen. If I get this wrong the IRS will tax me immediately at 30% and then I'll get taxed again by the UK, despite there being a tax treaty to prevent this. There are several similar ambiguous questions. Edit: It turns out the IRS don't answer question on the 8854 form if you call them, so that helps. (WTF?) They refer you the helpful instructions for the form which don't mention a few of the sections... Edit 2: I've given up and I'm consulting a professional tax filer (kerching).

Sometimes getting a pro to help you is just the easiest way. The reduced stress and worry will be worth it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Being ill.
4 days into the virus that I carry in my system, it seems to flare up once or twice a year and totally floors me for a few days. Sore throat, severe spinal pain, aching limbs but no runny nose, coughing or sneezing so it isn't a cold. So far I've missed dinner with a friend I hardly get to see, a bike ride and the Nike Rodgers gig last night. Now very fed up. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I hope it passes soon. Illness always strikes at the most inconvenient time.

Could be shingles LPH. I have had a couple of episodes with similar symptoms that completely wiped me out.
