Standard internet valuations apply... Either: Eleventy billion. Or: I'll drive him there myself, mate. 😁

I'd start by insisting that refs robustly enforce the rules we've already got. Dissent by word or action at either the ref, the lino, or the fourth official, is a caution. If a bunch of players surround the ref, he cards them all. Touching the ref or any other official, red card. I'd tweak...

In theory at least, not any more. Despite the best efforts of the DUP. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-politics-56041849 Always worth remembering that the DUP can have an unhealthy hold on the Tory party, especially when the numbers in parliament are against them.

I'm sorry but I've got to disagree, it's absolutely not a 'low bar'. Let's just say again what the rest of the country was doing: Not visiting their family in care homes, not being able to comfort loved ones who were dying in hospital, not being allowed to go to funerals. The bare minimum...

It's a good read, and I quite like the idea of the Russian army being comprehensively beaten. For all of that though, and odious as it sounds, I think we need to leave Putin some kind of 'off-ramp'. I think this is more likely to end up in some kind of ugly compromise that no one really...

If Starmer or Rayner are issued with an FPN, then yes, I think they need to step down. That's because, unlike you and your hypocritical Tory MPs, I genuinely believe in standards in public office. At one time, whether you stood to the left or the right, there was a consensus on this. But...

I take your point, but I'm just not sure how the conversation would go. "Darling, will you marry me?" "Yes!" "Great. Would you mind signing this please?" 😄

I'd heard she was getting the house, but the plumbing and wiring were coming with you. 😄 I jest of course, it always sounds hugely stressful going through a divorce. Turns out that marriage is usually expensive at both ends, and always in the middle!

If you can't face chocolate mate, then it's definitely getting serious! Can't have you getting skinny now lad, not after all those recent years of effort to obtain that 'fuller' figure. 🙂 We'll have to get you on that old British Army diet recommended for underweight recruits, chips and...

I see where you're coming from mate, but the article you've linked to about a joint agreement to provide aid is a lot more vague than Boris's unilateral statement made later in India. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/apr/21/uk-training-ukrainian-soldiers-weapons-equipment I don't...

I think even he must give it a rest sometimes, else it'll fall off. Shows how seriously they take their jobs, eh.

Hands up, who here would still be in a job if they were caught watching porn on their phone, whilst in the middle of an important meeting. There are literally no standards within this Government. Satire is dead, there's nothing you could make up that this lot aren't capable of in real life!

Yep, in fairness I've got plenty of kit for my work, and a ton more old stuff besides (IT hoarder alert!) but the school pass on a lot of stuff in Office, and want it back in the same format. The kids do get a student licence for free, but of course the laptop has to be able to run it. I'd be...

Sorry to hear it HH, sounds like you're both going through it. It's easy to say from here of course, but you've got to take care of yourself too mate or you'll be no use to anyone. I think you're allowed to let the diet slip and take on a bit of junk food/chocolate/booze at times like these. 🙂

Definitely interesting that, thanks. The worry is that we're tied into MS Office for work and school. With apologies for another probably daft question, can you save Google docs into Word and Excel readable formats, do you know?

The pets are non negotiable of course, but maybe there's scope to make a bit of room elsewhere? 😁

I thought about one of them, but I was put off by people saying they didn't work well with MS Office. I also wasn't keen on anything with less than a 128Gb SSD. I could well be talking out of my backside of course, if you've got one can I ask how you get on with it?

Sorry, ignore that, the link I was looking at was for a used one on Amazon. Might still be decent value though, it is at least a recent spec.

Just a thought, and possibly a stupid one, but does it have to be a laptop? In my experience you'll get more bang for your buck with a desktop PC. As a possible alternative, after a fair amount of research I bought the kids one of these on Amazon before Christmas. Going new for £280 at the...

He just can't bloody help himself can he? I'd cheerfully acknowledge the government appear to be doing good work in supporting Ukraine with weapons, but surely the sensible thing to do is to not overblow it for the purpose of domestic politics. Less talk, more weapons, would seem to me to be...
