At least the going up in flames part is accurate. 😄

Toast.

I think I was potentially a millionaire once, if I'd sold absolutely everything and converted to Italian Lira. 😁

I'll just make the obvious point that this isn't accessible wealth. You can't access the full value of your pension pot, or the full value of your house (unless you want to live in a tent on a roundabout somewhere). Also, this talks about households rather individuals. If the pitch is that 1...

Fair play, I could have looked that up myself... I guess the next question is, where the blooming hell are they, the sneaky coffin dodging blighters. Share a bit of the wealth, eh. 😄 https://fullfact.org/economy/millionaire-pensioners/

I can only speak personally, but that's where I am (except for the inheritance, there was never any chance of that!). I'm in a decent, fairly well-paid job, and whilst I'd love to pay more into the private pension there's absolutely no hope of that whilst I'm covering the mortgage and other...

Politely, I'd still challenge it. The average pension pot at 65 is £200k, from what I can find. The average house price in the UK is under £300k (ONS figures). Given the distribution of wealth, i.e. there are a lot more poor people than rich people, I'd think there will be a lot of smaller (or...

That seems somewhat unlikely to me. Where did that come from, can I ask...

Open the door to the basement? 🙂

Oof... that is hard core at any temperature. I doubt he'll be up too late tonight, but then I'm not young anymore. 🙂

Fwiw, there's a theory that having the loft hatch open pulls cooler air into the house from downstairs. What happens if there's no cooler air, I can't say! 😁

That's some result. Harlequins next week. Bodes well for the coming season...

4,109 at Cov today to watch them beat Saracens. Using the Wasps attendance multiplier, that's almost 32,000 people at the Butts today, and at least 12 million pounds fed into the local economy.

So funnily enough, just before the last world cup I was at this corporate thing relating to data modelling. (I know, I can feel the jealousy from here, the sheer excitement of my jet-set lifestyle, eh.) Anyway... The software guys had crunched all of the numbers using all of the latest...

About the same time that HS2 is complete... Sorry, not helpful, but this all sounds like an epic farce.

No one that I know, inside or outside the game, ever accused the RFU of being smart. 😁 Like the EFL or the FA, or the greedy/bent fuckers that run *some* of the clubs, the people at the top of the game are remarkably useless/corrupt at times. It's not unique to either sport. But it's...

Last night's game was boring... ...in your opinion. Do you understand the difference between opinion and fact, or is that a bit hard for you to grasp? Some people enjoy the sport, some people don't. Most people who enjoy the game probably enjoyed last night's fixture. I thought it was...

It's really not, and I thought we'd done all of this to death on another thread. Lots of rugby fans (and as one myself I know a fair few of them), also enjoy football. A lot of Cov RFC fans also follow CCFC. At the same time, like a lot of other football fans (also including me) they also get...

I think it's a bit early to say whether the game has changed or not. In essence Ukraine is trying to force its way through the most heavily mined territory on the planet, without air-parity (let alone air superiority), and the enemy know they're coming. That they're making any progress at all...

Just a quick point; Trump was facing legal action long before the war in Ukraine started, over a number of different things, not the least of which related to him trying to overturn the results of a fairly run, democratic election. If you genuinely believe the election was 'stolen', then I'm...
