Bond price currently is about 105, which I think is 5% above where they started out. There's been fluctuation up and down but from what I can see this isn't a share typically bought to trade in any case - some will be sitting on it for the 5% return, some (as you point out) will simply be...

It's crap isn't it. On the upside, if you can get yourself a 25-mile long one of these, you're welcome to plug into my router (oo-err missus!) ;)

Houdi, some fair points from you too. There are undoubtedly many things that Wasps do very well, not least the matchday experience which I hear is excellent and well managed. They've actually figured out that when people go to games they'll want to be welcomed and probably want to spend money...

A few observations of my own, if I may. I've developed a morbid fascination with Wasps too, undoubtedly. ;) The Ricoh wasn't actually full on Saturday, just over 30,000 as I recall. Not bad at all, but not full. When you bear in mind what was riding on the game, finishing top of the top...

I don't see that at all. It's just as likely that a vote for the communist candidate could be read as meaning you want a communist to be mayor, rather than not having a mayor at all. A 24% turn out should tell the story here - that's how many people were bothered about having a mayor from any...

NW - where was that option on the ballot paper? On the official documentation there was no mention of it, there's a sample ballot in here... https://www.wmcaelects.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Combined-Authority-Mayoral-Election-booklet-WEB.pdf

Just to clarify shmmeee, are you saying that there was actually an option on the ballot paper that said "I don't want an elected mayor"? If there was, I'd have turned up and voted for that option. Again. However I'm not going to vote Communist because that would misrepresent my beliefs in...

Is that "Zenmate", or "Zen mate", mate?

Shmmeee mate, ninety-nine times out of a hundred I'd completely agree with you. But we've already voted on this as a City, and the decision was that we didn't want an elected mayor. I've genuinely been torn on this, but I've come to the conclusion that the best way I can express my unhappiness...

Man, he's going to get such a kicking on here when he's better. Just think of all that bottled up anger out there... :)

Good luck Torchy. Agreed that donors of any kind are absolute heroes (excepting, possibly, sperm donors!). As a complete wimp I've got a fear of needles that stops me giving blood except when I'm pinned down by four strong men, but whatever anyone wants from me when I'm gone they're welcome...

Ah, always good to welcome people to the board that bring something to the debate. Much better than those lazy, bellicose posters who spit out unintelligent, barely literate one-liners containing random swear words, and then sit there congratulating themselves on their wit and wisdom. Oh.

Other than mockney, and people trying to fake a working class accent when they're posh and vice versa I really like proper regional accents and terms like "m'duck" etc.. Ditto with Indian subcontinent and Eastern European accents, maybe it's just me but it makes conversation a bit more...

It's probably just me, but there's something about that golf club cover that I find vaguely troubling...

Don't even know where to start here. The hypocrisy of threatening to charge this site for publishing content when the CET quite openly lifts directly from here without credit is breathtaking. I work for a company that develops websites, and I've got to say that from a professional point of...

I'm guessing that they'll be using the pitch for the gig SBT, so it probably doesn't relate to the capacity at the ground for a game. Off the top of my head, I think that's claimed as around 4,000, but having been there this season when there was 2700 against Moseley I think that would be a...

No worries mate. Between my crap eyesight and my fat fingers I don't even bother texting on the phone these days. I remember when we used to use them for talking. ;)

It's a fair point, but it's always been the thing that the FA (and other sporting bodies) have taken major exception too. It's not as though he wouldn't be aware of it. I can understand the gambling addiction, but there are plenty of other things to punt on besides football and your own team...

He was handy Nick, as I remember. Tough as old boots as a midfielder but with a tremendous knack of arriving late in the box to score. They'll be others here who know more about him than me though, there always is!

I'd love it, it might even get under the skin of our new insect overlords a little which would be a nice bonus. :)
