Can someone please clear up the question of what 'six figures' means? Is it a million?

I know nothing. I've just a suspicion that this is rather more related to his agent publicising that other clubs wanted him than his performances. If he's a Billy Big Bollocks he has to go. I repeat that I don't know this to be true - just speculating.

Now we know.

I don't think you'll stop the big clubs hoarding young players when the pay off can be so large. More likely you'd only stop them lending, which harms the kids and the borrowing clubs.

I think I went to junior school with him - not heard of him since. Does he have a sister called Fiona and lived in the Cannon Park old estate (behind the new estate)?

Watching the Fulham Cardiff game. Fulham play the same way as we do but look better at it. I fancy them to beat Brentford and suggest we'd prefer them to go up so we don't have to play them.

Power and Pace? I though that may be a new TV detective series. Power, the old hand - unconventional and always being scolded by the Chief Super but gets the job done. Pace, the younger Sergeant, slightly ditsy but in awe of Power and usually comes up with at least one observation which helps...

I'd love to see Kasta come good. He cannot be happy, it would be wonderful to see him turn his career around.

I don't think it's silly to stick to your word - I would do the same. However there are no legal requirements to paying for two surveys as far as I know. I doubt that the estate agent would let you lead along their clients by pretending that you might buy both though.

I disagree with you but not because I don't think landlords shouldn't pay tax. However I'm not going to comment further as this would lead us down the economics/ideology route.

Can I make a point about stamp duty without this becoming another party political or ideological thread? I make no point on taxation as a whole or how high tax should be... I think that stamp duty is a stupid tax. People need to move for all sorts of reasons and it's expensive enough an...

Up to a point, Lord Copper. If you are upgrading it's best to buy in a repressed market as (assuming a parallel shift) the percentage discount in the bigger house is bigger in cash terms than the discount on your own. Assuming you can sell. The opposite is true if you're downsizing.

Yeah, my Mum refused to move too. We built an annexe with her partially in mind but she wouldn't budge. I can understand it though; a house has so many memories and when you're old, moving is probably the last thing you want to do. I'm not complaining - just irked that councils make stupid...

I'm fine with it - in and out in 30 minutes and we have the added benefit that the house gets cleaned and tidied beforehand. However my wife gets stressed about it and then angry when they send the feedback.

I agree. It's not like you can spend the increase unless you remortgage - and that's a fools' game. It's driven to a large extent by under-supply. However there are loads of new builds going up now - last year the highest number for 30 years. Give it a few years of that and the housing...

Had our house up for sale for about 8 weeks now. We've had about 15 viewings but no offers and the viewings are slowing down. A common complaint is that they want a open plan downstairs and we have rooms. Starting to give up... it's no biggie we like our house. I think our situation is...

Started well but then the quality deteriorated after we were 5-0 up. We have to learn to bury these games.

Phew! It seems to be the trend nowadays for footballers to say that the supporters are rubbish; that the important thing is that they scored not that the team wins the match and that it's not a game of two halves. Thank Goodness that Matty bucked the trend.

I know it's a spoiler but does he like the Sky Blue Army? It would crush me if he said we were rubbish.
