    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Within seconds of the BoE lowering the rate I get an email saying the interest rate on my savings account is going down. Few days later same place emails to say mortgage rates aren't affected by changes in the BoE rate change as 'this has already been factored in', while also saying their...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    If its Lampard just get it over and done with. Bit ridiculous if, and not sure its been confirmed, there's some connection between King and / or Austin and Lampard and it ends up being him we're expected to believe nobody had considered he might be in the frame prior to sacking Robins.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Find it a bit odd to be on the winning side and instead of enjoying all the benefits of your win spending all your time searching online for anyone who was in favour of the side who lost and making fun of them.

    BA flights grounded

    We might be talking about different incidents. The one I'm talking about nobody thought to call the company who actually made / support the system and when they were finally informed they fixed it within minutes.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Things must be in really good shape under Biden if this is top of the list of things they need to address.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    They could have whacked the 2p back on NI that the previous government put on. Shot themselves in the foot promising no tax increases but even then they could have, with ONS backing, used the 'black hole' as an excuse. Say it was totally uncosted and they have no choice. Sure people would be...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Was watching a doc on immigration recently and one of the takeaways for me was that Labour are far better at handing immigration that the Conservatives. There was some footage of Gordon Brown as PM being accused of having polices similar to the BNP and NF! Those who bang on about immigration...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A quick look at the companies complaining this is unaffordable for them: Tesco - "The UK's biggest supermarket chain said pre-tax profits hit £2.3bn, up from £882m" Greggs - "Greggs has posted booming profits and sales as market share reached an all-time high” Next - "Next profits hit a record...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Watched a couple of docs recently, seemed to be a few about as it was an anniversary. As someone who was very young at the time and only really has vague memories of their being a strike it was pretty shocking stuff. As you say definitely needed an enquiry but we all know nothing would happen...

    Bluesky

    Can see more and more 'names' moving. Even if you ignore the political nonsense and general behaviour of people the place is riddled with porn. Not sure many businesses, especially ones that may have younger people following them, want to have to deal with constant porn accounts in their relies...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    The first problem is Frank Lampard's Sky Blue Army doesn't really work but Fat Frank's Sky Blue Army does. We all know which one we're going to end up singing so lets hope he doesn't hate us from day one!

    BA flights grounded

    Last one wasn’t really down to WFH it was down to procedures not being up to date tbh given how often this is happening now I tend to think it’s down to something else which for obvious reasons they don’t want to make public. Same as banks never tell you when they’ve lost a fuckton of money

    the amount of waste for your average person must be insane. I needed a couple of picture hooks, I've now got a pack of 200. The chances of me ever using them are non existent.

    Do you trust Rachel Reeves plans in relation to local government pensions?

    Sounds a bit like when local authorities were told to invest rather than rely on their budgets. Does she not realise the value can go down as well as up, who is covering the cost if the projected profits don’t materialise?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Should be automatic. The authorities have all the details of your pension anyway. When I was dealing with the council for my Dads care they not only knew the details of his state pension they knew down to the penny how much his private pension was so clearly that information is already shared.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Boddy has described it like that in the past. Robins and the coaching team would decide on types of players needed rather than individuals. The scouting and recruitment team would then find a player that fit those requirements. Suspect when we're told Robins had the final say it was more that...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Not sure I would call that clarified, was there anyone suggesting we sign shit loan players who wouldn't get any games? All he's done is say what the basic premise of the loan system is. That you want players to fill gaps in your squad and the parent club will want them to play.
