    Four out of five home games at night

    I have a cunning plan…Move the midweek games to 3pm Saturday? Problem solved.

    Four out of five home games at night

    The EFL forgot that the customer comes first.. Crowds make atmosphere at matches. The second half of the season looks better at the moment. 8 Saturday Games 2 weekday ATM. I like night games. But to have so many home fixtures that aren’t on Saturday is frustrating.

    Good luck with the thesis.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Neither side comes out of this well. The ‘evangangelical’ fervor of both sides is the winner. The civilians respond according to how much they hate the opposition, be it their experience of the past x years or as a result of the death of family members.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Still going in Ukraine. Diplomacy solution needed but highly unlikely.

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    Early doors it was so obvious. The horror of the Hamas attack meant that the BBC lost its rationality in how they reported on the conflict. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/bbc-own-reporters-accuse-favouritism-144727603.html

    thanks, the detail is written in invisible ink. I have three mourning sisters. (Crossword clue?) …=turmoil. The ‘To do’ list is getting smaller. But coroner hasn’t released an interim death certificate yet.

    Retirement

    I guess you’ll protect the house against care costs. Joint Tenants with your kids? Care thresholds change in a couple of years. This could be to their advantage because once your assets are down to 86k the care costs will be paid by social services.

    Retirement

    Anyone else gone earlier than planned and other than watching stressful football what do you do to fill your days. I hate golf but love beer… so slightly concerned I’m going to be queuing outside Spoons with all the other old soaks at 8.30am. You may stray into the realms of the surreal…

    Ok, you seem to be pressing the right buttons. Now make sure the interlocks are activated and enjoy the ride. Campervan or Caravan? I’m at that point as well. Those lay-bys near the Ricoh are a bit noisy! Cruises are ok providing you like being in crowds. The Virgin Gorda beach looks so...

    Absolutely. Planning, and listen to what your instinct tells you. I hear of so many people dying in their 60’s. Often due to overworked manual labour or burnout/ stress either way, blokes don’t do well

    Retirement

    I sort of stumbled into it. Had a very modest income all life. Reduced to 4 days in 2013. Then 3 days 2018. Left work last December at 60. On a pittance of a pension but bridging the gap between 60 and 67 normal pension age is doable. A combination of prudence etc. I’m also thinking we have...

    Everton Points Deduction?

    It’s a nail biter. Everton’s last 2 season relegation fights came at the wrong time for this sanction.

    Everton Points Deduction?

    I’d rather see Everton and Sheffield in our league, Burnley can stay up of course.

    Doh, that may be the case. Or you may be eating your words next season. Either way, they will not offload him.
