One of the only pundits from the past that I wish was still on TV. I hope he recovers fast.

Potter.

This is incredible, only just been reading about it. Ryan Burge got a pilot licence just to fly over Vale Park mocking their relegation a few weeks ago because Micky Adams upset him in 2013. A bell cheese at work but also an inspirational level of delayed pettiness...

I know quite a few Tories and I'm confident not a single one of them would vote for a party led by Farage. There's a view among some that Hague was the last "proper" Conservative to lead them and the party has become nothing like what it should stand for. Farage taking over would see the end of...

He avoided inheritance tax because his estate was put into a trust. News reports at the time said that had he had to pay it then it apparently would have equalled the entire amount the government gets from death duty in most years. He probably could have paid it and still recouped it pretty...

I was reading through the thread and getting increasingly surprised Ulloa hadn't been mentioned yet. I'm relieved standards haven't slipped completely though.

Yep - my interest is just that on the day of the glitch it subsequently jumped to an all time high (caused by non-glitch trading), then dropped $100k again back to normal prices (again non-glitch) - that's a pretty substantial price swing of greater than 15% in a couple of hours - and the...

If you've not seen this it's very, very good - audio interviews with D-Day veterans with modern actors and recreation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001y65t/dday-the-unheard-tapes-series-1-episode-1

As a bit of a curious continuation of this, in the first 1h45m of the market being open today Berkshire Hathaway stock has exceeded the volume of trading it normally sees in an entire day, and is already close to being the second highest volume of trading it's had for the past 4 years with...

I'm hoping Starmer goes all out from the kick-off, takes an early lead, does zero fannying about at the back, and uses his skills as a lawyer to add a bit of unexpected flair just when Sunak is getting exhausted from chasing shadows.

I have a sensory processing thingy and this is my entire life, always - my brain doesn't filter out stimulus but receives everything. I was in my 20s before I learned not everyone experiences the world the same way. The good thing is it makes music and art quite intense and it's like a 6th sense...

I had to get the train from Brighton to Salisbury early on Friday morning, and back again in the afternoon. It was like an elaborate hidden-camera TV show testing my reaction to the endless, weapons-grade twattery of other passengers. I couldn't work out whether it's being oblivious to the...

I'm not an expert, but I can see utility tokens being used as part of a regulatory framework to stabilise the markets more than for currency I've read some interesting things about how moving the stock market to a blockchain based system would be a big step in that direction for example, and...

Jumped up to 741k in seconds and then dropped 100k seconds later. Already seeing people digging into the data and querying the official reasons given for the 99% price drop, it's amazing how no-one trusts anything official anymore. I've just read that the FDIC reported end of last week that...

So over an hour in and it's still halted and they can't identify the issue. Does this happen a lot?

Yeah, being reported as a technical issues - Bank of Montreal also down 99%...

This might be a bug in market data - it's showing everywhere but presumably they all use the same source...if it's not a glitch though this feels like it might huge for the global financial system. Berkshire-Hathway prop up a lot, and I think a lot of what they hold is used as collateral too...

Very sorry to read this. My father in law had a stroke a couple of years ago that exacerbated memory loss and slow onset dementia we were already aware of. He was enormously paranoid for a long time and seemed to conflate childhood trauma memories with his current situation, giving us glimpses...

I'd very much like to put myself forward on the basis that Mark Hughes made about £18m from being sacked, and I'm pretty certain I could equal or better his performance in most of his jobs (L =181, D = 127, W = 158) just by telling the current Albion squad to go out and enjoy themselves. After...

I play a couple of times a month with a mate when the weather isn't good enough for tennis which we play otherwise (love the artificial clay courts in Hove). Portslade leisure centre set up a table in a squash court if you ask them, King Alfred have a few tables too. I'm not very good but it's...
