    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    I think that's unlikely as he's 35. It's not the way we do things. I don't think it's a good idea myself.

    That's odd, because Pepe's a gooner.

    Ricoh Lease...

    Of course you are absolutely right on all counts. I was ignoring the final redemption cashflow as you say. Also made the mistake of assuming liquidity.

    The worse thing about next season-

    Does anyone else love watching Adam Frost (or Frosty as he calls himself) on Gardeners' World? He makes me laugh the way he pauses at inappropriate ... points of a sentence.

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    If we sign many more frenchies, we'll have to change the song: Chantons ensemble, Allez Sky Blues, Si nous chantons ensemble, nous ne perderons jamais, Tottenham et Chelsea, United et tout le monde, Ils ne nous battrons pas, Nous nous battrons jusqu'à ce que le jeu soit gagné

    Ricoh Lease...

    I realised I knew nothing about the Wasps' bond. So I did some research. It matures in December 2022 and is currently trading at 46.7 - meaning that it yields over 13% as the coupon is 6.5% (based on a price of 100). At that price it's a junk bond - the City expects them to default. It fell...

    Signings

    I wouldn't read much into sizes. A wide-angled lens has been used which makes things further away seem smaller and those closer seem much bigger.

    Which word would you prefer people to use to describe people who believe in Marx's theories and would like to see them implemented globally?

    It's your favourite foreign movie...

    Love the last two - so beautiful... I'm not interested in martial arts per se but both of those are brilliant films. Haven't heard of the first - is it similar?

    It's your favourite foreign movie...

    The quality of TV series has improved massively over the past 10 years or so. HBO started the trend, I think, but Netflix and others have really raised the bar across the board. However, personally I think the BBC has got worse over that time. Last Christmas we struggled to find anything we...

    It's your favourite foreign movie...

    Too many to choose from, but these are the ones I've watched more than once and would happily watch again: - Three Colours Trilogy (Polish)* - Diner de cons (French) - this is the vastly superior original of the US remake 'Dinner for Schmucks' - Das Leben der Anderen (German) - Au bout de...

    Bit warm

    I've an awful story to tell about the heat. Both my wife and I feel fucking shit about it and we're struggling with guilt and sadness and God knows what. It doesn't involve humans but it's bloody terrible, so hiding behind a spoiler. Don't look if you are troubled by a very sad story.

    What are your views on the fashion for building mock castles during the 19th century? Although gothic in nature some of them had very few if any classic gothic features.

    Allotment/Veg patch

    Too bad. I keep chucking chicken manure pellets at them and water with seaweed or home-made comfrey tea once per week. Just have to hope for the best.

    Allotment/Veg patch

    Here's my spuds in bags and parsnips and carrots in pots. The tall flower is one of last year's parsnips I accidentally left in - so I'm letting it grow for the seed. Also a photo of my as yet anaemic swede.

    Allotment/Veg patch

    Any tips on swede guys? Doing my first this year and whilst they are coming along the edible bit is not very bulbous yet. Do I need to water more often?
