  1. Back in the day, new cars had to be "run in" to allow engine parts to wear evenly. It meant new cars couldn't exceed 30mph for the first 1,000 miles.
  2. It is when you're 14 and on a pushbike.
  3. Wordle 1,387 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟨🟩🟨 ⬜🟨🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. My mate's private pension investments have jumped off a cliff. He is seriously worried that the recovery (if any) won't happen for several years. And as a result he will be struggling. Not a man for small talk he said simply, Trump is a selfish, narcissistic **** who doesn't understand world politics.
  5. Well that's 3.5 mins of my life I'll never get back.
  6. Taking a (probably ridiculous) diversion off topic, I was chucking our old well used wok down at the tip and "wok songs" popped into my head. Wok This Way Wok and Woll is King Wok DJ... There must be hundreds of Wok related songs...
  7. Oh come on, really? Fluke? Who have we "fluked" in the past? Plus with this squad or a variation of it when we can't afford to buy PL standard and barely Championship standard players. Please don't tell me we go back to academy players. Not chance in hell of either.
  8. Sadly, we'll never be a PL club again, certainly not in my lifetime. That's where I think this will stop. Another Blackburn Rovers.
  9. The court will have sympathy on you once you tell them you're a lcfc supporter
  10. Grealish spends more time on his knees that Β£50 hooker.
  11. Soumare just getting his steps in to complete his fitbit goal
  12. Me : Shopping or watching us? Shopping would be more exciting
  13. But they have Mamoush
  14. You're less bored with Repair Shop , the dullest show on TV? We really have sunk to a new low.
  15. Are you Harry12345 (or whatever SN he has today) in disguise?
  16. Because their opposition tonight is crap.
  17. Fraud of a man is a bit unfair. Fraud of a manager, maybe.
  18. Wordle 1,382 5/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. Why can't you trust an atom? Because they make up everything.
  20. I think it's streamable (that's not a real word btw so therefore isn't a thing) but why risk it for the inevitable embarrassing shafting?

  22. Thanks for your measured response. I apologise for making the assumption I did. I can't take a view on either of the cases you refer to. I based my reply on my experience with our daughter who has a chronic MH illness where for her, PIP is a vital support allowance. She can't work and probably never will. She needs help with shopping, bills and generally managing her money. She hardly goes out and is pretty much isolated. When she has to attend appointments she has to get a taxi from the village where she lives to Loughborough as the only bus goes to Leicester, which she can't cope with as crowds terrify her. Her life is shambolic and chaotic. Her independence is dependent on PIP. IMO she is one of the many thousands of people that will suffer if PIP is taken from her. She is already increasingly anxious about any re-assessment she will have to undergo as after the last one she had PIP taken from her which was subsequently reinstated on appeal but that was a very stressful and uncertain time for her. I fear that the next re-assessment will result in the same and that has potential to send her into a downward spiral again. The Gov seem quite willing to cause major anxiety for people who have very little and sometimes no support and are on the breadline or already living in poverty. There is little doubt that some people claim when they're not entitled but it costs more to apply means testing for benefits but in the case of PIP, which is essentially a mechanism to help those with chronic ill health, both mental and physical, the extensive form and questions a claimant has to complete is a test of qualification that has no comparison to procedures required for any other benefits that I'm aware of. More stringent than means testing.
