Finished @Ironman_UK. Very happy to have got around in one piece, with no major hiccups and keeping a smile on my face (or a grimace...). Hearing those words "David Jeffery, you are an #ironman" made it all worth while. (The hardest part was staying off Twitter for 14 hours.)

Received my remortgage offer at the start of August and it has only just been completed - six months later - due to a mix of crap Help to Buy and crap conveyancers. The whole industry cannot be AI'd out of existence soon enough.

Ok, so what if I claim Greater Manchester Police's statement causes me harm or distress? There are plenty of countries that have a blasphemy law - anyone offended by burning a book should consider moving there.
