    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    They have you by the goolies but they also seem to be bailing Chelsea out. I wonder what will happen when the two interests clash, which they will :smile:

    [Technology] Anyone else playing Wordle?

    My starter word has been pretty good for a couple of years and recently has thrown up two or three letters every day. I keep thinking that I should now change it as this can’t continue but I am a creature of habit :smile:

    [Misc] Companies you hate, and will avoid using/buying from if you possibly can

    Scottish Widows, I won’t bore you with a litany of inefficiency and couldn’t give a shit prevaracating but avoid like the plague is my advice

    [Albion] Robert Sanchez to Chelsea for £25m plus add-ons

    Even worse, he’d possibly refuse to go if it wasn’t to a bigger club than the Albion. I’m sure TB, RDZ and PB will sort something, him sticking around without eating a massive portion of humble pie would be bad for everyone. Even then would you trust him to give his all?

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Not actually true, I came very close to being unable to pay my mortgage at the time. It was the generation of mortgage yourself to the neck initially to get the best house/flat you can and it will ease off in a year or two. Within a month of me doing exactly that on a repayment only mortgage the...

    [Finance] 6% Bank Rate is good news for savers

    Having money in the bank will work, not so much the stock exchange currently

    [Albion] Levi Colwill

    Given how the Saudis are bailing Chelsea out I’d suggest our chances of getting Colwill are now no better than about 1% Chelsea will not sell him to us or anybody, full stop Chelsea looking like they might fail FFP was our only chance, thanks to their shadowy Saudi investment that is not going...

    [News] Missing submersible.

    I have always thought that being buried alive was the worst death possible (other than being a torture victim) but the idea of being in that submersible trumps it. Horrible way to die regardless of how much money you have.

    [Finance] 6% Bank Rate is good news for savers

    As a child of the early 50s I will happily admit that we had things much much easier when we were young. I changed jobs at will travelled and lived abroad, always had enough to get by and didn’t even bother with a mortgage until I was in my early thirties. It was not a struggle either and I was...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Theoretically, all good ideas. How workable are they though?

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Have a listen to Rachel Reeves and her five point plan. Practical support right now. How it works I haven’t got a clue but she seems to

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Get Labour in NOW, they have all the answers clearly. I have been swayed listening to their comments this lunchtime.

    [Albion] Who has been Brightons best ever transfer signing?

    Gross by a country mile for me, we have benefitted from his signing over the last five years more than any other

    [Football] Saudi consortium to take over Newcastle

    I find some of those replies pretty depressing. It appears that football fans, in the main, won’t give a shit how it happens and the background as long as their club benefits :down: Not sure that the comparisons with how United and others have dominated are at anywhere near the level as what is...
