Good job she left school before the private school VAT changes or we might have needed to start a 'go fund me' page for her!

Young farmer comes on TV to claim hardship due to the inheritance tax changes and then inadvertently lets slip that her parents farm is worth a cool £10 million quid! Are we seriously meant to be concerned about the financial wellbeing of someone who will eventually be in the top 1% of the...

I was talking to the manager of a large farm a couple of months ago, he was telling me that the value of farmland had increased from £2000 an acre in the early 2000's to nearly £12,000 an acre in 2024. This had left his boss an extremely rich person but the problem was that the productive...

I am always suspicious of the things like this and usually means that there is a pre-made element to what they are doing, wonder if they are buying in frozen dough balls and pizza bases rather than making it themselves!

Question is will him and trump last a whole term without falling out with each other! Both huge egos and both tend to hold a grudge!

I know that we are not blessed with great keepers but I do think if England are to win something that they do need a replacement for Pickford. He's just not good enough with the ball at his feet for the style of play that we need to play to be successful against the top teams. He can do it...

This has been sanctioned as a professional fight but its quite different, with 2 minute rounds instead of 3 minutes, and 14oz gloves instead of the usual 10oz gloves which will reduce the chances of a knockout.

Look, if we were sticking close to the original recipe from the Hungry Monk for heritage reasons then Banoffee pie should have instant coffee sprinkled on it. I mean Instant coffee, on a Banoffee pie....the dirty, dirty, bastards!

Years ago I made a special visit to the hungry monk just to sample the banoffee pie and was frankly up in arms when it came out with a pastry base! It's a long time ago but I also seem to think they had sprinkled coffee on the top! They might have invented it but others refined it and made it so...

I think I would struggle to out nonsense him! His reading material on holiday was a David Icke book so just waiting for him to bring up the lizard people!

It's a tough one, we have a conspiracy theorist in our family. 10 mins in his presence and he's shoehorned in something about Blackrock, vaccines and lockdowns and things get more ridiculous the more he has to drink. I never know how to handle it, my instinct is to challenge him but then I can...

I was wondering yesterday about how Hurzeler is going to keep players like Enciso happy, with players returning from injuries the squad depth is incredible.

You are correct they were singing 'is this the etihad', everyone around me was commenting on how strange it was and we are at the away fans end of the ground.

Unfortunately it does, it's the one bad thing about the Amex, I just don't think the North is big enough (deep/ high enough) to carry sound across the stadium. The Man City fans were very loud in the first half but I have sat in most parts of the stadium and would say that the sound travels...

I am in 1901 south end of the west stand and also didn't hear TB's blue and white army. The north always sound very quiet from where we are sitting, as professor plumb said atmosphere only gets going for us when catches on around other parts of the stadium.

You said that the waiting room that was predominantly British is now outnumbered, so for me it was interesting to know how you would know their nationality! My GP surgery has also been in decline in terms of availability of appointments, it was different 3 years ago (pre covid) you used to be...

How do you know what nationality the people in the waiting room are?

Most people don't realise this but house prices in the UK have basically been flat for the past 20 years when adjusted for Inflation. There have been big regional variations to this, like in the south east and London, but in general the perception of ever increasing house prices due to a lack of...

I was stuck in one of the large london tube station lifts with someone who I was 80% certain was an ex-girlfriend! She was looking at me but because I couldn't be 100% sure it was her, and we were in a confined space with lots of people, I panicked, blanked her and walked off quickly as soon as...
