Fair comment. In my defence, I’m not knee jerk in general. Some volatility is always there, and I usually just grin and bear it and ride through it. But this time I felt there was something more serious happening. I know you should turn a blind eye to events but I was scanning the front page of...
This is a great thread that I'm working my way through slowly. It's possible this question has been covered, and if so, I apologise. Unfortunately I can't search for "IFA" as 3-letter searches don't work.
We retired last year. After 25 years of careful financial management, we're very lucky to...
They can offer a 10 year contract if they want but can amortise it (split it up) over only 5 years instead of 7 for the sake of the accounts.
Edit: sorry, repeating @dazzer6666 point
Do you still work for William Hill? How do I contact customer services? I’ve had a balance of over £2,000 with WH for several years which is no longer visible on my account but I can’t for the life of me contact them to talk about it. Any idea how I can actually speak to someone about this...
My dislike of Chelsea has nothing whatever to do with how well developed our system of play is at Brighton.. I’m struggling to get my head round the connection.
I’ve been to 92 grounds in total of which 47 are in the current PL/EFL 92. The balance are grounds that are no longer used, plus quite a few in Europe.
I suspect the charity was a red herring. The pub landlord was selling on behalf of his ‘mate’ who was raising money for an unspecified charity, he said. Hmm. Anyway, I didn’t buy it. I cheekily offered £40 as that was all the cash I had on me but this was politely turned down. I decided not to...
I’m in a pub in Shepherds Bush and noticed the landlord carrying a signed Brighton shirt. I grabbed him and asked what the story was. He said a friend of his was trying to sell it for charity. How much? “About a hundred would be great, but anything really” were his exact words.
What would you...
I wouldn’t say ‘astonishing value’. It seems very unlikely that Southampton will win there but that said, there nearly always is a surprise on the opening day so it’s possible. I’d have Newcastle as strong favourites myself but go for it if you disagree!
TBH, this is neither here nor there. It may be that she’s been beating certain opponents that she wouldn’t have done had her testosterone levels (or whatever it is she’s supposed to have, it’s still not very clear) not been relatively high. It may be that if she had a more conventional genetic...
I’d like to see a more settled team. Wholesale changes at half time give everyone minutes, yes, but it's unsatisfying for spectators and players alike. Even with the Euro/injury absences I hope FH has got a pretty good idea of who’s in, and I’d like to see them playing together for more than 45...
‘What can be done’ is for that tiny number of athletes in her position ie having an unusual but significant difference in genetic makeup that blurs the line between genders and gives her an unfair sporting advantage, to nobly accept that there are some things she can’t do eg get into a boxing...
