    [Misc] RIP Jack Karlson " Succulent Chinese Meal'

    We don't hear the word "succulent" nearly enough - it's magnificent!

    Tonight pretty grim. Superchargers all out for 83, the guesting Stokes scoring a mighty duck. Birmingham chased that down in 39 balls. To win by 10 wickets. What a shambles. The weird 100 format might have survived (and still might for the women) but these sort of crap match-ups do it...

    The official (Hutton) inquiry was started in 2010 and reported in 2011, but final salary type pensions were phased out from 2015 to 2022. So if you were already in one of those schemes in 2015 you could continue to accrue benefits until Apr 2022. And you would retain benefits banked up to...

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    If you don't think total compensation (including pensions) is relevant when making public sector vs private sector pay comparisons, then I can't help you. To be fair, the Labour Party clearly don't think so either. Here's a clue - you're both wrong.

    Still, at least he got a 10% pay rise whilst suspended.

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    I can't see that you've referenced anywhere the gold plated final salary pension schemes the public sector enjoy. That's an enormous benefit that those who work in the private sector can only dream of.

    [Finance] Rachel Reeves to reveal £20bn shortfall left by Conservative Government

    The next few years will be golden for those who work in the public sector. For anybody else, it's going to be grim. That much is clear.

    No, but even less of a fan of Morgan's commentary skills. Time for him to move on IMHO.

    [Football] Where are you watching the BIG game tomorrow?

    At my gaff, with some friends and family. And some decent booze and snacks. Can't wait to be honest.

    Enjoyed the game. Thought we left some runs out there and so it proved. I'd rather applaud a great knock by Pepper 🌶 than call out any of our bowlers. Still been a great season so far.
