    You Know You're Getting Old When........

    I remember when I brought a 900 having just passed my test 30 years ago. Could only find a couple of insurance companies that would touch me, couldn’t get fully comp and none of them would let me pay in instalments. Cheapest was £675.00. I had to park the bike up for 2 months/2 pay days to save...

    But that wasn’t the platform they were elected on, they had a costed plan apparently.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I wonder how many top rate income tax earners would take an income tax rise vs more increases in the interest rate? There’s a misconception that all top income rate tax payers are gazillionaires so somehow immune (in context average earners) to interest rate hikes. Not true in many possibly the...

    There was nothing right about that at all. The only reason it was broken was because of the failed Tory policy of austerity, Boris was then elected on a manifesto that had a plan (allegedly) to fix it hand in hand with a pledge to not raise taxes or NI.

    The interest rate hike (and probably the previous 12) just seem like an overreaction to me. Low interest rates didn’t drive inflation and I struggle to se what impact raising the interest rates has had on reducing it. Seems to me it’s a combination of the B word, the war in Ukraine and the...

    I get Everest though. Would never have even thought about doing it myself but I can see why people want to do it. Not just posh people either, some very average joes spend years saving to do it. That submarine though, no thanks. You wouldn’t get me in it if you offered me £250k to do it.

    Just one of the things he could have pulled them up on. Debt as a percentage of GDP, highest in 60years at over 100% announced today. Inflation staling and not dropping putting Sunak behind on one of his key promises.

    He tried to focus on Mortgages presumably his to launch his new catchphrase “Tory Mortgage Premium” at the expense of meaningful questions. It was all about setting up the catchphrase. Right to bring it up but should have A) left it with his first question given how many open goals he had today...

    Andrew Tate

    I caught a bit of the BBC documentary where the journalist is at one of his seminars and it was just full of knobheads who hadn’t automatically achieved what they felt was owed to them in life whether that be financial gain or luck with the ladies and the answer was simple. Keep your money in...

    Andrew Tate

    You’ve got to worry about people who find him appealing. Regardless of the outcome of his trial. He’s just a poor excuse of a human being whichever way you cut it. If you find him appealing you’re either a detestable c**t yourself or you need to take a long long hard look at yourself. Or just...

    Oh come on. It’s not like the government is made up of a large number of departments with a minister responsible for each individual department. Oh wait… that’s exactly how it is.

    Off the cabinet only Penny Mordaunt has dared showed her face and shown leadership confirming she’ll vote for the committee findings. Meanwhile Sunak’s gone into hiding. Berry and Rees-Mogg debasing themselves even by their standards. No wonder the Tories have dropped in the polls again. They...

    Played in every division

    I was thinking maybe Portsmouth but then I noticed Division 3 North. So now I’m thinking that if there is it must be another Midlands based club due to the central location.

    Pritti Patel literally went on TV and told the public to grass on friends, family and neighbours who were breaking lockdown rules.

    Problem is he can’t do that for fear of triggering a GE. Boris did it when he first became leader for precisely that reason, he wanted a GE. Sunak is in the exact opposite position. Although you are right. He should have whipped for the very reason you state.
