Buy your house with your pension fund! [Martin "Mr Pensions" Bamford] (Dec 11 2003 21:48 GMT) - Following my blog earlier this year (see here) the Inland Revenue have been kind enough to publish further proposals on the simplification of pensions. Don't forget that these are still proposals and they are subject to change. However, the main points are starting to look more certain than they were a year ago. One proposal that I believe will be of interest to many members using Ecademy is the potential to purchase residential property with your pension fund. The proposals published yesterday suggest that pension schemes will be able to invest in all types of investments, including residential property. |

Our Afternoon with Aliant (Dec 11 2003 21:46 GMT) - Don Bonnell, from Aliant Mobility, dropped by the mediaplex this afternoon to meet with a group of seven of us, all but one current Aliant Mobility cell phone customers. This meeting stems from an email I sent back in October to Chuck Hartlen, Vice President, Aliant Mobility, in which I said: I'm one of a group of perhaps half a dozen Aliant Mobility customers in Charlottetown that would like to attempt to engage your company in a discussion about your products and services. We are all longtime cell phone customers; most of us work in the technology industry. |

Hello Neil! (Dec 11 2003 21:46 GMT) - Having my name plastered all over this website means that, from time to time, I get old friends, from the pre-digital-Peter, dropping by as the result of an errant Google. As inveterate fan of keeping in touch with old friends, this is a source of great joy to me. Today Neil dropped by, and he now officially qualifies as the person in the world I've known for the longest to have digitally dropped in for a visit. Neil is the son of John Strickland, one of my father's Victoria College roommates. There are pictures of Neil and I playing with pots and pans on the floor of someones kitchen when we were both no more than 2 or 3 years old. |
