    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    I thought you were speaking generally, rather than your personal circumstances. Apologies if it sounded crass - it wasn't intended. :)

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    I wish! Ours is pure hard graft, no kids and no cars, for 20 years.

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    It's an absurd scenario, imho. PB's should be considered in the same way as other monies/savings/property and go directly to the next of kin/according to the Will. I hope they get it sorted without paying for basically....nothing in return. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how it...

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    Gotcha - fully understand now. It's a pain having to go through probate - it seems only Premium Bonds seem to require this (over a £5K holding, I believe). Is probate a costly exercise? When my father died, he had approx £5.5K of bonds, and luckily they didn't require my mother to go to probate...

    [Albion] Explain Yourself

    Around 40 years ago (blimey, time flies!), a small group of us were sitting around smoking numerous exotic cigarettes, when a friend of mine curled his hand into a fist, flung his hand open and shrieked "Birth of an orange!". This was followed by a brief stunned silence, before the inevitable...

    Sorry to hear your bad, followed by good news, although how did your wife 'take them on'? I understood they were strictly non-transferable, and could only be cashed-in by next of kin and obviously you're then able to purchase new bonds, if you so wish.

    Lose. You'll see. :)

    Tbh, I don't remember us being in the bottom 3 - refresh my memory? :)

    [Albion] Chelsea vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I totally missed that, at the time, but that's astonishingly shoddy from the officials.

    Indeed, but you just know they'll claw their way upwards.....again. (I do hope not, though. :) )

    They didn't. :)

    [Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

    Erm...that's our first loss. What's with the 'continue getting beaten' shite? :)

    Imagine the utter mess on here when Haarland does, too. :D

    Premier (League) Inn? (Or out?)

    [Albion] How long will YOU give Fab before calling for his head

    I find it hard to fathom (but not really) how so many of you seem to be in need of Pampers, so early in the season. :D

    It might be worrying to you, and that's fine. Me? I'm genuinely not worried. Palmer played a blinder and all credit to him. As I said earlier, shit happens. Edit: And we were 'beaten by quality' - Palmer.

    We could have won that game - it was a mess. They had Palmer...we didn't. It was so close to being 3-3 and then anyone's game. Shit happens, but I'm not down about it, especially as most (including me) expected to lose this one.

    Must be gutted: Beaten only once (thus far) and only a couple of points off Europe. Sack 'em all! :D
