Looks like you were in the posh seats there, SBWM. I bet they don't chuck pints around in the executive lounge. :)

I'm sorry, but it simply isn't true to say that we've grown faster than Europe since Brexit. There is literally no evidence to support that statement. There might be some positives around Brexit (though neither I nor the minister in charge of finding them seem to be able to identify any), but...

Two points really mate, the first is that if you do the sums, she's almost certainly lying about seeing her low-pay, part-time job at McDonalds being impacted by tax. She simply wouldn't have earned enough. Given she's the daughter of a GP and a professor who went on to do a masters degree and...

I expect he'll get called into Starmer's office in due course for being too assertive and upsetting the Daily Mail. Might even be accused of being a bit left of centre, God forbid.

"Deep State"? What a wanker. It's only Johnson's privileged upbringing and his old school contacts at the heart of the state apparatus that have kept in a job (and probably, out of jail) for all of these years. Is the lazy, fat, incompetent, flag shagging, role-playing twat, seriously going...

Fwiw, I got one of the these for the daughter for homework and stuff. 128 Gb SSD, Windows 11, Office etc.. £279 on an Amazon deal at the mo, and bowls along happily enough. I've had a few Acers over the years without any issues. Deal: Acer Swift 1 SF114-34 14 inch Laptop - (Intel Pentium...

Completely with you on this, I always thought the valuation was a bit of smoke and mirrors, though I appreciate others differ. And there's definitely a clause in the lease that says it reverts to the council in the case of an insolvency event. I suppose failing to repay the bond isn't...

I don't think it quite works that way, but I'm wrong to talk about owning the stadium, I meant the 250-year lease. In essence that's the same way as the bond is secured now - in theory if the bond isn't repaid I think the lease is sold to repay it. Wasps/ACL would no longer own it. That's the...

And HSBC, not being run by complete fuckwits (unlike our council) will likely end up owning the stadium because that's all that Wasps can offer as security. There's no way on earth a bank like HSBC goes into this without full security. I fancy they'll employ their own valuers too! In fact...

Only if the following lines are uttered by the guilty party, in this approximate order. I wasn't there. I was there and nothing happened. I was there and something happened, but it was nothing to do with me. I was there and something happened, and it was me but it wasn't my fault. I was...

Couldn't agree less. The Guardian has a liberal bias, but its articles are generally well researched and factual. Its opinion pieces are flagged clearly as such. Unlike almost every other paper mentioned, it isn't beholden to rich owners. If you think the output is miserable, maybe that...

A sad day indeed. Thank you, Boris, for exposing the party of law and order as the completely corrupt sham that it is. And for highlighting the utter hypocrisy of clapping for the NHS whilst simultaneously running it into the ground. Thank you too, for drawing the xenophobic ("I'm not a...

Which basically says that you were happy with the handling of the pandemic because ultimately you didn't think it was serious. It's not an evidence based opinion, anyone who thinks covid is the same as the flu isn't thinking straight. Of course you're happy with your choice, but don't...

Hmm. Too little, too late on the initial lockdown cost thousands of lives. If not tens of thousands. Vaccine roll-out, fair enough, but by any independent measure our initial handling of covid was an appalling public health failure. Thousands died whilst the Government dithered...

Leave it mate, it's brilliant. I'm such a bloody child. 😄

"Hole pincher" may yet turn out to be the typo of the year. Oh dear, sorry mate, your points as ever are well made but this has got me giggling. Apologies...

I just popped back onto this thread to say thank you for all of the helpful advice. Of course, kids being kids, everything I've suggested has been completely disregarded and she's found herself a job at the Uni over the summer. Again though, I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time...

I kind of hope he does really...

Sorry Boris, I'd love to talk to you, but I don't have time today to fully disinfect the phone afterwards...

So he committed 'inappropriate behaviour' but wasn't "guilty" of it. Presumably his hands just do their own thing without any conscious control. (I have this exact same problem when I'm trying to hit a ball with a cricket bat, in all fairness). The only reason he's not on the sex offenders list...
