This makes for an interesting read. No doubt the anti-vax loons will think it's all pretend. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/21/icu-is-full-of-the-unvaccinated-my-patience-with-them-is-wearing-thin

Tin-foil hat conspiracy theories are funny when they're about NASA faking moon-landings or the Queen being an alien. This is too serious to allow dickheads to abuse their free speech though, because it literally costs lives. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself. If anyone is a c**t...

It's violent conduct. That's why it's a red. Kicking the player, not even attempting to play the ball. Should've had a yellow for the studs up on Hamer, again that's a dangerous, cowardly challenge.

We should probably check with Dion, now I think about it...

Absolutely, it'd certainly give you a feel for it, but things like a new bathroom, new kitchen, or posh decor can put an awful lot on houses that are otherwise identical. Or vice versa, of course. And yes, estate agent valuations are strange things, but the trick of overvaluing a property...

Ah, bless, you voted for something you didn't really understand and because you're a teensy tiny bit of a snowflake you get upset when people point out the inherent stupidity of that decision. Don't hide behind fake humour, love, it's not healthy. Call a waahmbulance to take you somewhere safe...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but that would be slack work. There are lots of things that can make fairly big differences to a property's value, even if they're on the same street. Ultimately of course, it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it, but averaging out the street data isn't...

Brilliant post. I never knew any of that history... (Edit: Apart from WWII, I think I saw that mentioned briefly somewhere) :)

Just on the morals of going to Wasps: I've got a mate or two who go occasionally. I don't fall out with them, I just explain to them why I think Wasps shouldn't be here. They're still mates though, I don't consider them immoral, or at least any more immoral than they already were. :) The...

A bit like football, a good rule here is to play the ball and not the man. If OSB has said something in his analyses that you disagree with, ESB, then just challenge him on the facts. There's no reason for this to get personal...

I'd politely disagree here FP. Without boring you my work involves using valuation data and the 'desktop' valuation stuff isn't considered to be quite as good as a proper valuation. In fairness lenders like a surveyor's opinion more than an estate agent's, but either would likely be more...

Sorry to hear about your mum mate, this can't be an easy time. I'd agree with the stuff above, get a couple of valuations from Estate Agents first, and see if the neighbour is willing to match. Bear in my that in my experience estate agents tend to overvalue a bit, to pull you in. So if the...

You'll leave it there because you haven't got any actual response. Stick to fireworks and flags and leave the rugby to people who actually like and understand the game. You've never yet backed up one of your posts with anything factual or even vaguely interesting. You were making stuff up on...

L Ha. You've got a young team, not out of choice, but because the bond's been spunked on 'marquee' players who didn't want to stick around. So much for richest team in Europe, eh. Also, I'm not sure that the performances can be there if the results aren't, but then I've seen elsewhere that...

Steady, gents, steady. I'd confidently challenge anyone here to a 'who hates Wasps the most' competition, but this all feels unnecessarily personal. Could we just back to hammering the stripy bastards for the obvious crap they've pulled and let the other stuff go for a bit maybe? I can't see...

A word on OSB. I don't know if he's been to Wasps or not, but who here hasn't done something they're embarrassed about at some point in in their life. :) Even if he had, or does, it doesn't diminish him or his opinions in my book. We don't always agree but he makes his points from a position of...

It still looks to me like a slow motion train wreck. Covid has obviously hammered them, like a lot of other businesses, but the bond means that they are hugely over-leveraged imho. The point of the bond, as I recall, was to make Wasps the richest club in Europe. It was a gamble on making them...

Absolutely fair point. I've never done it, and likely never will, but I'm guessing you don't have to go too far into the jungle to never be able to find your way out. A bit like an IKEA store, or supporting City! :)

Good story. Probably a completely daft question, but wouldn't it have made more sense to just stay at the side of the trail until daylight? My bike broke down in the Cotswolds once, in the middle of a wintry night. I took shelter in the men's bogs in Broadway, running the hand dryer every now...

I wish her no ill personally, there are probably bigger concerns about democracy in this country than her role in it. However, it isn't quite right to think that the Crown's role is purely ceremonial. There's quite a long history of interference/lobbying that isn't appropriate for a...
