Divider links: reblog and music notes

July 2006 saw The Spitfires doing a 7-date tour in the UK. Chrisy’s mom had taken even more of a role as their manager now with them getting bigger and had made all of their travel arrangements, making sure that they had somewhere to stay in each city. The party had also decided they were going to join as it was the summer holidays. Dustin, Max, El, Lucas, Will, and Mike all joined the band as they flew into London Heathrow ready for their first gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton 3 days later. 

They spent time seeing as many sights as they could whilst they were in London and had free time. The first full afternoon they were all in there, they headed to the London Eye. The sun was high in the sky and they were all full of energy. They went around the London Dungeons where Eddie spent the whole time trying to scare the others, successfully making both El and Max scream, earning him a punch in the stomach from Max. Worth it, he’d grunted at the time.

After the Dungeons, the group went onto the London Eye. Looking out over the city from the top of the Eye as the sun was setting was beautiful. Everyone was excited to look out and point at different things such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, The Tate Museum, Tower Bridge, and The Shard.

The show that night afterward in Brixton was amazing. The crowd was loud and the band was on fire. The party loved being backstage and then mixing with the crowd. 

“Thank you Brixton, you’ve been amazing tonight! And you know what, I reckon we have too!” Eddie shouted into the mic at the end of their set, laughing. “Thank you and good night!” 

“Good night, we love you” Chrissy shouted as the band walked off stage.

As the band left the stage, the party ran at them, shouting about how amazing their performance had been and how awesome it had been to see them on stage doing ‘their thing’. To say it had been a great start to the tour was an understatement. The venue cleared out and the band packed their things up before loading it all into the large car they had hired. 

The best part of the night came totally unexpectedly as they were finishing putting their instruments into the car. As they were closing the trunk up, Steve noticed a group walking towards them, clearly excited. 

“Hi! We’ve just been to your gig and we all absolutely loved it! Can we grab a few pictures and autographs before you head off?” One of the girls in the group asked. 

“Sure! That’s fine by me if it’s fine by everyone else.” Steve answered, turning to the rest of the band who all nodded. 

Lots of pictures were taken on various different digital cameras and autographs were signed by the whole band. 

“Do you want to grab a drink at the pub around the corner?” one of the girls asked Steve. 

“Sorry to butt in but we really need to hit the road if we want to make check-in at the next hotel” Eddie interrupted before Steve could answer. 

“Sorry, guess that’s my cueto go.” Steve laughed. 

The band waved to everyone and said their goodbyes to the group before getting into the car to join the party, Eddie and Steve up front, with Robin and Chrissy in the back.

“You’re so hot when you’re jealous, baby,” Steve whispered into his boyfriend’s ear as they were setting off before settling back and resting his hand on the inside of his thigh. 

“ ‘m not jealous” Eddie responded, hands tightening further on the steering wheel. 

“Sure, whatever you say” Steve chuckled. He couldn’t push Eddie's buttons like he was itching to do whilst they were in the car with the party. 

“Stop trying to fuck the driver whilst he’s driving please, I’d like to get to the hotel in one pieceplease, we have a while to go still” Robin interrupted Steve’s thoughts of how far he could push things whilst he could. It had been a few days since they hadn’t shared a room with someone and Steve was determined to make the most of it. 

The rest of the drive went smoothly. Music turned down low and everyone else asleep gave Steve and Eddie a moment together. Robin and Chrissy were as curled up together as they could safely be and the rest of the party was curled up under blankets.

The following day, after a late breakfast, the group went and had a look around Oxford, sightseeing on the river and exploring Oxford castle and prison at Eddie’s request. He walked around with his campaign notebook and wrote many details of the castle and prison down, much to the excitement of a lot of the party. 

The rest of the tour followed a very similar pattern, typically driving to the next city in the morning before having some time to sightsee before the gig. Each gig was just as electric as the last; it seemed as though each night there were fans waiting for them as they packed up and sometimes even before the gig as they arrived at the venue a couple of hours before doors opened. 

They played the O2 Institute in Birmingham, the O2 Academy in Liverpool, the O2 Apollo in Manchester, the O2 Academy in Leeds, and finally the O2 Academy in Edinburgh. Taking in as much of each city as they could in the packed schedule they had. 

A couple of days after the final show they returned the car and flew back home. They had a couple of weeks free from shows and didn’t plan on having any band practice or writing sessions during most of that time either. Some real time to relax, which naturally meant that, according to Steve, this was the perfect time to house hunt. He and Eddie had decided to buy a place together as they both still lived at home and they wanted more privacy than that allowed.

Good morning!  I hope you slept well and feel rested?  Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.

From Tax to Homes, UK Politicians Make Economy a Battleground for Election

As the UK gears up for a national election on July 4, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the opposition Labour Party are zeroing in on the economy as their primary campaign focus. Prime Minister Sunak recently highlighted a promising outlook after new data revealed Britain's inflation rate had dropped to nearly 2%. However, Labour's Rachel Reeves, aiming to replace Jeremy Hunt as finance minister, emphasized that many voters still feel significant financial pressure. Both parties have outlined their economic policies, showing notable similarities as Labour leader Keir Starmer has steered his party toward the political center. Britain's tax burden is at its highest since World War II, following increased public spending during the pandemic and a spike in energy prices in 2022. Sunak aims to distinguish his party by proposing the elimination of all social security contributions paid by workers in the long run. Labour, however, deems this plan impractical and has pledged not to raise income tax or corporation tax rates. Instead, they plan to impose value-added tax on private school fees and tax the overseas income of UK residents with non-domiciled status. Both parties' reluctance to broadly increase taxes raises concerns about how they will fund public services and address public finances. Hunt's future public spending cuts have been criticized by external economists as implausible, given the existing strain on many public services. Hunt argues that future productivity gains in the public sector will justify his fiscal plans, a challenge that has historically proven difficult. Labour promises to enhance public services and end chronic under-investment in infrastructure and other areas crucial for economic growth. Sunak and Hunt introduced new budget rules in 2022 following a bond market crisis during Truss' brief tenure. The main rule mandates that public debt should decrease as a share of GDP within five years, a target the government is barely meeting, leaving little room for tax cuts or increased spending. Another rule caps government borrowing at 3% of GDP within the same timeframe. Labour intends to maintain the debt target but will apply the borrowing rule solely to day-to-day spending, allowing for more borrowing to fund investments. However, they have abandoned a plan to borrow up to £28 billion annually for green investments. Labour aims to decarbonize the power system by 2030, five years ahead of the Conservatives' target. Their plan includes facilitating new onshore wind farms, creating a state energy company, and establishing a national wealth fund to invest in green technologies. The Conservatives argue these plans will be far more expensive than Labour claims. Last year, Sunak postponed a ban on new petrol car sales but reaffirmed his commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Sunak has improved relations with the European Union, yet Brexit continues to impact the economy negatively. New checks on food imports from the EU present fresh challenges for businesses. Starmer has vowed to enhance the UK's relationship with the EU from 2025 when the partnership deal is reviewed, though he insists the UK will not rejoin the single market or a customs union. In the lead-up to the 2019 election, the Conservatives pledged to build 300,000 new homes annually in England by the mid-2020s. However, plans to relax planning rules were scaled back to avoid voter backlash. Last year, fewer than 250,000 homes were built across England, Wales, and Scotland. Labour promises to reform the planning system to speed up the construction of homes and infrastructure, granting more powers to local authorities to expedite projects. Labour plans to significantly limit zero-hours contracts, enhance job security for new hires, and increase sick pay. They also intend to repeal laws restricting trade union activities and promote flexible working arrangements. Employers have voiced concerns, prompting Labour to promise consultations with them on policy. The Conservatives warn that Labour's proposals could lead to job losses and more strikes. Starmer emphasizes the political volatility since Brexit, with five Conservative prime ministers in eight years contributing to low business investment. He argues that a stable Labour government, potentially with a strong parliamentary majority as polls suggest, could reduce investor anxiety. Read the full article

"Understanding Uber's Range: From UberX to Uber Exec, Exploring the Ride Options"

Uber strives to continually adapt to the evolving needs of its users by offering a range of ride options tailored to different preferences and circumstances. These options not only cater to passengers' varying needs but also impact drivers' earnings, with fares differing significantly across different ride types, from the standard UberX to the premium Uber Lux service.

Each Uber ride type comes with its own set of requirements, influencing the choice of vehicle for drivers. In instances where a driver's car doesn't meet the specified criteria, there's the option to opt for a PCO car rental, providing flexibility and ensuring compliance.

Let's delve into the various ride types available in the UK and the corresponding vehicle requirements.

UberX: This is Uber's flagship service, designed to accommodate up to four passengers and known for its affordability. Vehicles for UberX must meet specific criteria, including being a four-door model, meeting local licensing authority standards for model year and condition, lacking commercial branding, and being licensed to carry four passengers.

Popular vehicle options for UberX include the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Ioniq.

UberX Priority: A recent addition to the UK app, UberX Priority offers expedited pickups for passengers in a hurry, albeit for a small additional fee.

Notably, this feature is not yet available at airports.

UberXL: Ideal for larger groups, UberXL provides SUVs and vans capable of carrying up to six passengers. These vehicles must have sufficient boot space and be licensed accordingly. Although UberXL rides command higher fees, they present an opportunity for drivers to earn more per trip.

Uber Comfort: Offering passengers a more premium experience, Uber Comfort provides newer and more spacious cars driven by highly-rated drivers. Passengers benefit from amenities such as setting preferred temperatures and extended waiting times, albeit at a higher cost.

Notably, Give your passengers a distinctive experience with the spacious MG5 EV or the stylish MG ZS.

Uber Green: Committed to environmental sustainability, Uber Green offers rides in fully electric cars at the same price point as UberX. Drivers earn a 10% premium for each Uber Green ride, contributing to cleaner air while potentially accessing EVs through Uber Clean Air EV assistance.

Uber Exec: Catering to those seeking a premium experience, Uber Exec provides high-class rides with luxury vehicles and professional drivers. However, drivers considering exclusive engagement with Uber Exec should note the potentially lower demand compared to other services.

Uber Lux: Uber Lux represents the pinnacle of luxury, offering top-of-the-line black car service with stringent vehicle requirements. This service provides passengers with access to high-end vehicles and professional drivers, including legacy cars in pristine condition.

Uber Access/Assist: Tailored for individuals with mobility challenges, Uber Access provides wheelchair-accessible vehicles, while Uber Assist offers additional assistance for passengers in standard UberX cars.

UberPet: Designed for passengers traveling with pets, UberPet allows for the transportation of one pet per ride at a premium price. Passengers are responsible for any cleaning fees incurred due to pet-related mess.

Uber's flexibility extends to its drivers, allowing them to select the services they wish to drive for, provided they meet the respective requirements. This flexibility enables drivers to potentially drive for multiple services simultaneously, maximizing earning opportunities.

Recofloor breaks through 7,000-tonne milestone

More than 7,000 tonnes of waste vinyl flooring have been collected and recycled through Recofloor since the scheme was founded by Altro and Polyflor in 2009. 

Through the sustainable collection service for commercial waste vinyl flooring, material is recycled back into new flooring, as well as traffic management products. Recofloor is widely regarded as a great example of circularity in the flooring sector.

To date, Recofloor’s collection of 7,060 tonnes has produced 8,282 tonnes of carbon savings – equivalent to taking 2,161 cars off the road for a year. 

It also equates to 2,353,000 square metres of vinyl flooring having been recycled. The carbon savings estimate is based on displacing concrete in traffic management products, the main application for the recycled flooring.

On reaching the major environmental milestone at the beginning of 2024, Recofloor Scheme Manager Carla Eslava notes that tonnages collected from flooring contractors in 2023 were up to pre-pandemic volumes. “The highlight was the larger volumes from contractors – up 12% compared to 2022 – helped by the deployment of the scheme on more major project sites and increased engagement with main contractors.”

Latest data for 2023 shows that a total of 475 tonnes was collected through Recofloor – broadly in line with expectations – and saving 557 tonnes of carbon emissions that year. Of the 475 tonnes collected, 51% came from flooring contractors and their projects and 33% came from the distributors’ drop-off points.

Benefits for Recofloor members include gaining environmental points when they apply for BREEAM certification and the Recofloor team can help with this process by providing a collection certificate and statement letters highlighting the volumes collected and the CO2 savings. Collecting acceptable commercial vinyl flooring waste for recycling can save up to 70% on waste disposal costs, such as skip hire and gate fees. The benefits and savings can add up on multiple projects. From April 2024, the standard rate of landfill tax will rise to £126.15 per tonne and the lower rate will increase to £4.05 per tonne.

“Another positive is that we are doing a lot of work with main contractors in promoting the scheme through meetings and presentations to generate awareness,” continues Carla. “That opens up a door for when the flooring contractor is on site and to make deploying Recofloor on a project a lot easier.”

Last year, Recofloor was deployed on nine substantial projects with six of these continuing collections into 2024. These projects included retail, school and hospital sites across the UK.

“In 2024, we will focus on increasing the number of projects using Recofloor and encouraging contractors to talk to us about their plans so that we can be involved from the outset. For the distributors, we’ll support them through calls and pop-up visits if we are in the area,” says Carla.

Recofloor is the UK’s leading vinyl take back scheme. It is free to join and simple to use. To find out more, go to www.recofloor.org or contact Recofloor on 0161 355 7618 or at [email protected].  

Best Scooters Finance in Birmingham: Secure Your Dream Ride

For the ever-increasing number of commuters and thrill-seekers, scooters are just another mode of transportation option in the dynamic city of Birmingham, which is confronted with the numerous difficulties that come with living in an urban environment.

As a matter of fact, the financial obstacle that prevents people from owning scooters can sometimes be a roadblock. We are fortunate that the best scooters finance in Birmingham is offering a wide variety of financing options for scooters, which means that you will finally be able to ride the scooter of your dreams; all you need to do is put money aside.

Unlock Affordable Mobility

Scooter Finance Birmingham bends over backward so as to satisfy customers' diverse needs by incorporating a variety of products.

Whichever comes to you, as a student looking for a better, more affordable, and more reliable way of transport or as a businessperson seeking a car that is both fashionable and practical at the same time.

These finance solutions offer a way to share the financial parameters of various kinds of transport, paying the total monthly amount instead of paying the full amount in a lump sum.

Tailored Finance Plans

By making full use of the many types of financing that are accessible, it is essential to choose the most suitable scooter finance UK provider based in Birmingham.

Numerous respected dealerships and lenders provide individualized financing solutions that are geared to meet the specific requirements of each individual customer.

Hire Purchase (HP): With this payment term, stretching the cost over an agreed period gives you the opportunity to own your desired scooter without necessarily begging for money to buy it all at once.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP): Under the PCP plan, you could acquire the motor scooter for a monthly fee, which is considerably lower than the full payment for the scooter. You can either become the owner of the scooter or return it as it is at the end of the term of the lease.

Personal Loan: Opt for a personal loan from a legitimate money lender who will give you a complete loan to purchase a scooter, from which you, as the owner, will be free from any interest charged.

Factors to Consider

When exploring scooter finance in Birmingham, it's crucial to consider the following factors:

Interest Rates: For instance, through the APR analysis of more than one lender, you will have the opportunity to pick those terms that will most suit your needs and conditions and be able to achieve a fair deal.

Repayment Terms: Analyze if the reimbursement time is also at hand, reflecting the income levels and the targets that you have in mind for the finances by comparing the terms of repayment.

Credit Score: Score you higher, so the credit report, which indicates the 'right' actions and many 'not negative' actions, will help your credit score. Thus, you will build up a good reputation and might as well negotiate better (and possibly less expensive) finance plans.

Conclusion

Key Trends and Factors Driving the Global On-Demand Transportation Market Revenue

Increasing per capita income, rising traffic, and the higher cost of maintaining personal vehicles have propelled the on-demand transportation market globally. Technological advancements, specifically integrated mobility features with real-time and multi-modal travel using smartphones, have played a pivotal role in the market's overall growth. Social trends, such as increasing residential locality and a rising average number of occupants, have also contributed to industry growth.

Regulatory compliance is another crucial factor driving the on-demand transportation industry. Initiatives like Helsinki, Finland's plan to make private cars unnecessary in 2014 aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote public transportation, positively impacting the on-demand transportation market.

In recent years, key players like Uber, Lyft, and Ola have emerged, creating a new ecosystem that is evolving rapidly. Uber, Lyft, and Ola have witnessed exponential ridership growth since 2017, with various investors supporting on-demand car ridership.

Uber, a leading ride-sharing company, went public in May 2019 at US$ 45 a share, reaching a valuation of US$ 82 billion. Ola secured US$ 300 million from Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. in March 2019, aiming to raise US$ 1 billion in Series J round. Lyft raised US$ 600 million in 2018, reaching a valuation of US$ 15.1 billion, and is targeting autonomous vehicle plans, especially in the United States and Canada.

In July 2018, China's leading ride-hailing app, Didi, received US$ 500 million funding from Booking.com. Companies are expanding globally to solidify market positioning and consolidate revenue.

Didi Mobility Japan plans to expand to 13 cities across Japan, and Didi Chuxing focuses on the Latin American market, especially Chile, Peru, and Colombia.

In 2017, Taxify launched its service in London, UK, signing up 3,000 private hire taxi drivers. The company's low-cost business model, charging a 15% commission on rides, contributed to impressive growth.

Fierce Competition Leading to Mergers and Acquisitions

Despite being in its growth phase, the on-demand transportation market has seen numerous partnerships and acquisitions, showcasing aggressive marketing and expansion efforts to dominate the global share.

In 2016, China's Didi acquired Uber's local operations in China to gain brand share. In 2018, Didi acquired Brazil-based ride-sharing company 99.

In 2015, Ola acquired Taxi For Sure for US$ 200 million, integrating the platform with Ola. Ola also acquired Ridlr, an end-to-end public transport ticketing and communication app.

In 2017, mytaxi acquired Clever Taxi, the leading taxi app in Romania, to consolidate its position in Europe.

In March 2019, Uber acquired Careem for US$ 3.1 billion, expected to close by early 2020, strengthening Uber's presence in the Middle East. In April 2018, Uber acquired bike-sharing startup JUMP to tap into the growing popularity of two-wheeler transportation.

In 2018, Lyft acquired Motivate, a bike-sharing company operating Citi Bike in New York City and Ford's GoBike program in San Francisco, U.S.
