    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Yep, just spotted this. Slimy bastard, if I was a Warriors fan I'd want him nowhere near. It feels a lot like another 'cuckoo' operation; having failed with Wasps in Coventry are they going to try again by usurping Worcester?

    Russell Brand

    That's not an unreasonable point mate, (much as it pains me to say it). 🙂 I think the counter argument is that this never gets to trial without the press bringing it to light, and as a result justice is never served either way. And of course, potentially the list of victims continues to...

    Russell Brand

    Absolutely fair point mate. Tate is preying on misguided and unfortunate young men too. For his own personal profit. I'm not sure that any of these conspiracy nutters or incel advocates actually believe what they say, but they know they've got a ready market in people who need to blame their...

    Russell Brand

    Other than in a pub brawl, I'm not sure that having Tate on your side is necessarily helpful in your defence. This ridiculous, "the matrix is after us to shut us up", is laughable. These guys have had huge amounts of leeway to spout their ludicrous and often dangerous opinions. They're...

    Russell Brand

    I get the concerns about trial by media, but at the end of the day this seems like a solidly researched piece, outlining a pattern of behaviour. If the accusations are false, or even if they're true but can't be reliably proven, then he's got the most favourable defence in the world on his...

    Garden Leave

    I'd love a few months/years off, but I'm not keen on gardening. Would they let me do something else instead? 🙂 I worked, indirectly, for a boss who put anyone who handed their notice in out of the door on the same day. It was madness, and cost us a fortune because he churned staff like crazy...

    Funny that, I'd heard they were all fat bastards...

    Expect another delay

    At least the going up in flames part is accurate. 😄

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think I was potentially a millionaire once, if I'd sold absolutely everything and converted to Italian Lira. 😁

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'll just make the obvious point that this isn't accessible wealth. You can't access the full value of your pension pot, or the full value of your house (unless you want to live in a tent on a roundabout somewhere). Also, this talks about households rather individuals. If the pitch is that 1...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Fair play, I could have looked that up myself... I guess the next question is, where the blooming hell are they, the sneaky coffin dodging blighters. Share a bit of the wealth, eh. 😄 https://fullfact.org/economy/millionaire-pensioners/

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I can only speak personally, but that's where I am (except for the inheritance, there was never any chance of that!). I'm in a decent, fairly well-paid job, and whilst I'd love to pay more into the private pension there's absolutely no hope of that whilst I'm covering the mortgage and other...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Politely, I'd still challenge it. The average pension pot at 65 is £200k, from what I can find. The average house price in the UK is under £300k (ONS figures). Given the distribution of wealth, i.e. there are a lot more poor people than rich people, I'd think there will be a lot of smaller (or...

    That seems somewhat unlikely to me. Where did that come from, can I ask...

    Oof... that is hard core at any temperature. I doubt he'll be up too late tonight, but then I'm not young anymore. 🙂

    Heat

    Fwiw, there's a theory that having the loft hatch open pulls cooler air into the house from downstairs. What happens if there's no cooler air, I can't say! 😁

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    4,109 at Cov today to watch them beat Saracens. Using the Wasps attendance multiplier, that's almost 32,000 people at the Butts today, and at least 12 million pounds fed into the local economy.
