    [Politics] Elton John... Brilliant?

    I thought he was superb. He's obviously past his best - isn't that obvious? he's in his late 70s. I thought musically though it was excellent. He's obviously 'match fit' as he's still on his massive world tour, so all the songs were tight. I thought Blondie were awful tho - DH didnt really...

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    This makes me really angry - My elderly neighbours came round this morning - they were in a panic because they'd had a call from 'Microsoft' telling them they'd been hacked. They guy had given his name and showed them he was genuine by getting them to look up his LinkedIn profile. Obviously...

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

    Currys - dont ever buy from them. Their customer service is appalling - they've even re-branded it to 'Team Knowhow' because they know its awful and they've tried to remove the Currys name from it. Everything is fine and dandy until you have a problem - then you will wait for hours on the...

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

    Just for laughs (like they’ll take any notice of me) I’ve submitted this complaint to the FCA: You have evidently forgotten about Northern Rock. You were sleeping then and you’re sleeping now. Please do not allow the banks to lend irresponsibly. Skipton BS have just announced a 100% mortgage...

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

    And here we go again. Remember the infamous Northern Rock 125% mortgage? The banks do this secure in the knowledge that they will be bailed out by the tax payer.

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

    No - after the last crisis, they introduced these measures to put an end to the boom-bust cycle. As happens every time though, these checks slowly erode as people forget and the irresponsible lending cycle starts all over again. If they'd have kept a lid on the lending, the price of the...

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

    Thing is though - its the only tool in their toolbox. The BoE was made independent by Gordon Brown with the remit to set interest rates to keep inflation at or below 2%. Whether it works or not - its all they have.

    Interesting that. Thing is though, very few of the businesses that took no action would have been operating in complete isolation. Most would be running windows or other operating systems that would have been fixed on their behalf long before the millennium switch, whether or not they made a...

    To be fair though, the reason the millennium bug turned out to be not such a big deal was mainly due to the massive amount of remedial work that was done globally though the late 90's.

    [Albion] Aston Villa vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Who is this absolute knob of a pundit on sky? He doesn’t know the first thing about football or how we play. He only looked at the player standing next to undav for the goal and thought it was offside and his expert opinion is frequently that we should “put laces through it”.

    [Albion] Statistics don't lie!!!!!!

    There were a lot of things yesterday that were just down to a quirk of fate. Everton, who've struggled to score all season suddenly were finishing like Barcelona. You'd normally expect them to have fluffed half of those goal chances. Solly pulling a hammy gifted their fifth. Pickford had the...

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

    Bad day - Dyche's tactics spot on and Evertons finishing was top class. RDZ needed to recognise it and change it earlier - but he's got plenty in the bank.

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

    Dyche’s out thought us here. He’s packed the middle and they are invariably winning the ball as we try to play through. We have to change and go down the wings

    [Football] Leeds sack Javi Gracia - Allardyce appointed for last 4 matches

    We'd just better hope they don't come knocking. No manager in their right mind would turn down the opportunity to go to such a massive club.

    [Albion] ** Chelsea v BHA ** - Premier League Score Predictor - Now in its 12th SEASON !!

    Finally got one right! I think I've entered every one this season and got zilch. A chimpanzee with a keyboard would have done substantially better.

    [Football] Should Ex Players/Managers be running VAR?

    Agreed - I kind of put that out there for arguments sake. You don't need to have to been an experienced criminal in order to become a judge, you just need to know the law.
